TASK 2

Read the information about Joyces Ireland Hiking Tours. Decide if the statementsbelow are True orFalse and put a tick () in the correct column in the box at the endof the exercise. The first statement (0) is an example. (8 x 1 = 8 marks)

Ireland has a lot to offer the walker: dramatic sea cliffs, high mountain ridges, quiet green roads

and then there are the sleeping villages, oak woods, sky-blue lakes and torrential waterfalls.

We organize unique small-group guided hiking tours of Ireland for walkers of all abilities and ages.

We spend from one to three nights in each area and walk the best parts before moving on to our next

stop. We travel between locations on a comfortable LDV mini-coach and are therefore flexible in our

choice of routes.

We stay in small hotels, guest houses, B&Bs and occasionally castles. All rooms are en suite twin,

double or single. Singles are available for a small supplement. We take packed lunches to eat during

our walks, but our evening meals are taken either in the places we are staying or in local restaurants.

If you have travelled with Joyces Tours before, you get a 5% deduction. This will be subtracted from

your final payment. We offer price reductions for any bookings of four or more people.

Terms and conditions

1. Joyces Ireland tours run with a minimum of four clients: if Joyces Ireland has to cancel any

trip, four weeks notice will be given and all money refunded to the client.

2. If you are prevented from proceeding, you may transfer your booking to any other

appropriate person free of charge, provided that you give reasonable notice before the

departure date and that there are no other changes to the booking details.

3. A booking is accepted with payment of a deposit of US$600 / EU450 / UK400 per person.

On receipt of this you will receive a letter of confirmation.

4. The final balance is payable eight weeks before departure. If it is not paid by this date, we

reserve the right to cancel the booking.
