essential part of any holiday. YOUR ACCOMMODATION
Centre One
Tours uses the best motels and hotels available, all with en-suite rooms. Your
comfort is important to us, hence your accommodation will be licensed, centrally
located and with swimming pools, laundries and quality restaurants on the premises. YOUR
TOUR COACH
Centre One Tours will provide modern 46 or 54 seat Mercedes
6 star coaches for all tours (unless circumstances necessitate a more suitable
coach). All coaches supplied have the following features:
Comfortable, widely
spaced, contoured reclining seats with headrests, armrests and footrests,
Large panoramic windows to give the perfect view,
Kneeling coaches to allow
easy entrance and egress,
Lap/sash seatbelts,
Individual reading lights
and climate controlled air conditioning,
Toilet and rest-room equipped,
Quality PA, tape, CD/DVD systems,
Latest air-ride suspensions and
safety braking systems.
To ensure that all passengers have the opportunity
to enjoy front window seats, a daily seat rotation system is organised; this also
ensures that all passengers meet and chat with their fellow passengers. SINGLE
SUPPLEMENT & TRAVELLING ALONE
Centre One Tours is committed to ensuring
that all passengers feel part of the experience. You may be a single, but you
will never be alone. A limited number of single supplements are available on each
tour (the additional cost represents the additional cost for sole use of a room
that are levied to us, only). Where a single passenger is willing to share accommodation
with a fellow single passenger, Centre One Tours will endeavour to find another
of the same gender, similar age and with many of the same interests. If we are
unable to do this then the passenger will be treated as a single supplement but
without the additional levy.
Accommodation is on a twin share basis and Centre
One Tours accepts no responsibility of the rooming partner, and, if a passenger
at any time during the tour considers the rooming partner unsuitable, then Centre
One Tours will, subject to availability, arrange for single accommodation. PENSIONER
CONCESSIONS, PAST PASSENGER BONUSES & CHILDRENS FARES
Centre One Tours
strives to provide top quality tours at highly affordable costs, and hence the
following concessions will be available only when booking direct.
A Pensioner
discount of $50 will ONLY be available to passengers who have a Pensioner Concession
Card, or, if a
Past Passenger, deduct $100 from the cost of the selected
tour, as past passengers are important to our business.
For a child (under
15 years of age) travelling with one adult, deduct 10%, and for a child travelling
with two adults and sharing the same room, deduct 20%. SMOKING

regulations forbid smoking in tourist coaches, however frequent stops will provide
an opportunity for those who desire to smoke. Note that all accommodation will
be in NO SMOKING rooms, unless a passenger specifically requires a SMOKING room. LIMITATION
