Tour & Price Guide 2011
(1 April 2010 to 31 March 2012)
NB. In view of rapidly rising costs of motor fuel It may be necessary to increase prices at very short notice. (We are now paying in excess of $9.50 per US gallon!)
BLUE BADGE DRIVER GUIDE RECOMMENDED RATES
The prices quoted below are last year's "Official" Recommended Blue Badge Driver Guide rates. For comparison you may see the current 'Official' rates at www.driver-guides.org.uk/fees.html . I will always try to reduce them wherever possible. I can also offer many price reducing options.
