We are aware that people have limited holiday leave. We therefore seek to ensure that people have an inspiring holiday break, that they visit fantastic places and have the time and input required to stop, reflect on, and enjoy what they've witnessed.

We aim to ensure that everyone in the group has the best experience possible and that our partners' interests are furthered by the time that they invest in the visit. For these reasons we do take time to work out the balance of a group, and so we will not confirm your booking until we have had the opportunity to meet you. We will contact you to arrange this as soon as we receive your application.

Pre-trip Briefing
It is essential that everyone in the group attends the pre-trip briefing meeting. You will be notified of the date and location of the briefing as soon as possible.

Price and payment
Please note that all quoted prices are calculated on current airport taxes and are based on flying from the UK. Prices for joining the trip from another location are available on request. Price may increase due changes in fuel duty and other factors outside our control. An initial deposit of £150 is required as confirmation of serious intent of joining the trip.

What is included in the price
Includes return flights, airport taxes, accommodation (bed and breakfast), evening meals, sightseeing and entrance fees as per itinerary, gifts to projects visited, local travel and the service of guides/translators where necessary. Please note that prices are based on sharing a room. Please contact us if you would like a quote on a single room supplement.

What is not included in the price
Travel from your home to the airport, lunches, any optional activities and travel insurance (we will require details of this - please ensure that you have good medical and cancellation coverage).

Cancellation
Any cancellation must be in writing. We will not be able to refund the flight cost once flights have been confirmed.

Insurance
You will be required to provide details of your travel insurance for the group leader - insurance company, policy number, emergency contact number.

Passport
Your passport must be valid for at least six months.

Health
Please note that a certain level of fitness is required - all the trips involve a fair amount of walking and standing, often on difficult terrain. In addition the temperatures can be very hot and in India and Nicaragua there will be jet lag to contend with.

You should consult your GP for recommended vaccinations and health precautions for any Amos trip.

Changes to schedule
The safety and wellbeing of those involved is of paramount importance to Amos. We are guided at all times by the knowledge of our local partners. This may result in changes to the group's itinerary.

Carbon offsetting
Amos Trust is aware of the damage air travel causes to the environment and seeks to limit its use of air travel. When air travel is necessary Amos Trust offsets its carbon emissions for staff flights. We do not feel that it is our place to arrange offsetting for trip participants, but recommend it to all.
