Special offer for 2009 Full board accommodation 660€ per person for basic courses without paying visits 720€ for thematic courses with paying visits We hope that this saving for groups will compensate for the situation of the £ against the euro. This price saving also extends to four people travelling together and sharing rooms on our normal courses. We can now accept payment in £'s. the prices are marked on the course details next to the € price. Paying in euros you pay 25% on booking and 75% 4 weeks before, but if you prefer to be sure how much your holiday is going to cost you you can pay in £'s. However, if paying in £'s we ask that the full amount is paid with one cheque on booking.
