Season

The tour season runs all year round, with special tours running during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. The “Rebus – the Body Politic” tour will normally run on Saturday afternoons. Please note that tours cannot be guaranteed to take place until you have received an official confirmation by e-mail of your booking for a particular date.

During the period of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival tickets are only available in advance from www.edfringe.com from June 2007 onwards.

Tours continue after the festival. Complete the booking form if you are interested in taking a tour on any Saturday.

Groups

Group bookings can be accepted at any time of the year with enough notice and subject to a minimum of ten participants in the group. Special group rates are always available and departure times can be tailor made for groups’ own wishes.

Tour prices

Tour prices for 2007 are: £10.00 adults, £9.00 concessions (seniors and students on production of ID). No cheque payments are accepted. The tour price is payable in cash to the guide at the start of the tour.

Special ticket prices may apply for group bookings for the period of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. See the Fringe website or its printed programme for details when these are available from June 2007.

Pre-booking Essential

Please note that places on the tours must always be pre-booked. You will then receive an e-mail to confirm whether the tour is taking place on your chosen date and to confirm the departure time and place. If your date is not available or if all places have already been booked, you will be advised of alternatives.

Rebustours cannot be responsible for any alterations or changes to your overall travel plans or any inconvenience thus caused should the tours not be available.

Disabled Access and Children

While every effort is made to include participants with a disability or impairment, these are walking tours which involve some inclines, descents, steps and crossing busy roads. Wheelchair users are therefore asked to bring a companion who may assist. Please ask for further advice if required.

We do not recommend that children under the age of 10 come on the tour. This is not because of the tour content – more to do with the attention spans of younger people! Children under five go free with their parents as long as they are able to be carried or travel in a pram as needed.

Terms and conditions

The Rebus Tours Company accepts no responsibility or liability for cancellation, loss or injury sustained from participating in the tours or resulting from a tour booking. All tour bookings are accepted on this understanding.
