The tour cost is the basic price of the tour - this covers transport and accommodation.
The tour fund covers some of your meals and the cost of local guides (it is also paid when you book).
If you book a tour online several months in advance there are sometimes special discounts available (these are automatically offered when you complete the booking process). Occasionally there are also last-minute deals. Check these pages for details about: Special Offers, Early Deals and Late Deals.

You stay in 3-star hotels, including breakfast and en-suite facilities.
Accommodation costs assume that you are sharing a twin room (if you want a single room you need to pay extra). If you are travelling by yourself you will be put in a room with someone of the same sex. If you want to share a room with someone you are travelling with, please make this clear when you book.

Note that you must have travel insurance for your trip.

You must also make sure that you have visas if you need them.
You may need to contact your country's embassy in the UK (see: Links and choose your country).
To get a visa you may need to contact a European embassy in the UK. The websites are listed on these pages:
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom
One visa is enough to allow you to travel through countries which are part of the Schengen agreement. For a list of these countries click here.
