Tours are a great way to discover and learn about a destination. Using the expertise of your local English-speaking guide you will benefit from informative but enriching information about the destination, culture and spectacular sights that may not be readily available when travelling independently. Not only do you get the chance to get off the beaten track, you may well also have the opportunity to develop long-standing friendships with like-minded travellers.
It is difficult to list a generic list of inclusions for all tours as they are all so different around the world. What you can be sure of is that we work closely with our local agents and expertly chose or design the tours specifically for our guests. Throughout our program we guarantee a superior service from our local agents and our guides, we ensure we have selected the outstanding sights to see, the best hotels in the right locations and the correct transport for you, be it a safari vehicle, an air-conditioned coach or a business class seat on the bullet train. Let us be the experts and lead the way.
There is no denying it, touring is one crazy holiday. Most itineraries involve several destinations, some early mornings, maybe long days and lots of walking but we guarantee that it is well worth the effort. What is an early morning if you can see the Taj Mahal at sunrise? Is a walk too much if it is along the Great Wall of China? No way. We guarantee the all that hard work pays off and we know you deserve some well-deserved R&R afterwards. On each tour page we have highlighted our favourite extension to your tour, usually down to flight routes or distances from the end of the tour, we make it easy for you with our expert recommendations.
With so many amazing tours to experience, we've highlighted which we feel would be most suitable for those travellers who can walk short distances, manage the steps on and off the coaches either by themselves or supported by an accompanying passenger and where a folding wheelchair can be accommodated in the coach’s luggage compartment. So don’t hold back on seeing the world with Virgin Holidays!

If your holiday is going ahead as planned, you can continue to pay for your holiday in Manage my booking, even if travelling in less than 12 weeks. If you’re unsure, you can delay any additional payments by choosing a new time to travel by requesting a call back in Manage My booking for one of our team to look at options. If your holiday is more than 6 months away, you may wish to set up a Direct Debit to spread the cost. This can be arranged whilst rebooking or afterwards in Manage my booking.

Payments are being prioritised based on when the request was made, working in order from March 2020 onwards. We will always try to process refunds at the earliest opportunity, for requests before August our maximum timeframe is 120 days. As we are steadily reducing the maximum processing time for each new request, for refund requests made in August, we expect the maximum processing time to be 80 days, from the date the refund is requested. For those requesting a refund in September, we expect it to be processed within a maximum of 60 days, and then reduce to 30 days for refunds requested in October, before returning to normal levels.
To finalise the amendment, one of our customer advisors will phone you. We need to work through amend requests in departure date order so we can prioritise those with the most imminent travel plans, so you may have a longer wait than usual until we’re able to ring you back. We will help everyone that wants to move their holiday.
You can contact our team by emailing feedback.backhome@virginholidays.com to discuss options on unused portions of your holiday. If you need to contact our team about amending an existing holiday or requesting a refund please log in to manage my booking.
