All the tours we sell are protected by one of two schemes:
We hold an Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (ATOL) issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (ATOL number 11477). Some of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed on this website. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected.
(For more details please see Section 19 of the Terms and Conditions.) In these instances, you will not receive an ATOL certificate with your invoice.
If in doubt please ask us to confirm what protection will apply to your booking.
The Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust Limited (ABTOT) provides financial protection under the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 for Hide and Seek Ltd, and in the event of their insolvency, protection is provided for the following:
- Non-flight packages commencing in and returning to the UK;
- Non-flight packages commencing and returning to a country other than the UK; and
- Flight inclusive packages that commence outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland, which are sold to customers outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland.
