How to Book - Make a Payment

Special Group Tours wants to make booking your vacation as easy as possible for you. We promise to give you the service level you deserve should you choose to spend your hard earned vacation money through us.

How to Book:

Send us an e-mail: kate@specialgrouptours.com or call us toll-free: 1 866 725 5250 to check if the tour/departure date you want is available. It's always helpful to give a second choice of date or tour at this stage in case your first choice is already full. Communications via SGT and the UK based offices usually take approximately 24 hours (occasionally a bit longer over a holiday.)

We'll respond and, if there is availability, give you a 7-day option. That is, we will hold no obligation space for you for 7 days. After the 7 day period, if we haven’t received your deposit or heard from you to extend your option, then your option will expire and the space will be available for another guest. NOTE: With a maximum of just 11 guests per departure, tours can fill quickly. Early booking is recommended.

The booking is confirmed once a deposit is received. A non-refundable deposit is required and the balance of payment must be made 60 days prior to tour departure. The deposit required is $300 USD per person for tours 3-4 days and $600 USD per person for tours longer than 4 days.

A final invoice will be sent 60 days prior to departure reflecting the US dollar balance due to request final/full payment. If you are booking less 60 days prior departure then the final/full payment is due at time of booking.

 

Make a Payment:

We are able to accept two methods of payment: personal check/money order or use your credit card via PayPal.

 

If paying via check, please make a US Dollar check made payable to:

Special Group Tours

and mail it to our postal address, 259 Magnolia Drive, Millsboro DE 19966  USA

It is helpful if you note your tour code/date in the memo section. Cheers!

Pay via credit card payments using PayPal -- fast, easy and secure.   Please Note: We must charge a 3.5% processing fee for this service. 

Please add the fee amount to your total amount entered into Pay Pal. Thanks!
