The main sporting event of 2012 is the London Olympic Games. Football fans may disagree with this statement and say that the biggest sports battles will take place in Poland and Ukraine, but the number of fans watching the Olympics around the world exceeds the number of European football fans. How to book a tour to the London 2012 Olympics?
Instructions
Step 1
Book an Olympic tour on the website of one of the travel companies. When filling out the application, carefully read the conditions of the tour. Some companies offer you only flight and accommodation, you must acquire tickets for the competition yourself.
On the company's website, fill out an application, or rather call the operator at the phone number indicated there.
Step 2
Apply for a UK visa. As a rule, travel companies are engaged in this, but in some cases you have to go to the embassy on your own for the coveted visa. It must be received in advance, so do not hesitate to check with your travel operator if you need to personally handle the visa application and whether it is included in the tour price.
Step 3
Pay for all necessary insurances (medical and cancellation insurance) or make sure that all of this is included in the tour price. Medical insurance, with rare exceptions, is included in the tour price, but as for other voluntary types of insurance, it all depends on your desire and the conditions of the tour you have chosen.
Step 4
Visit the travel company office. Even though it is easier to book a tour via email or mobile phone, do not be lazy to speak with your tour operator in person. This reduces the likelihood that you will not miss out on some small details of your tour that you might have forgotten about on the phone. Personal communication will allow you to get a better idea of the quality of the services that will be provided to you.
Step 5
Arrange yourself a tour to the Olympic Games on your own. Perhaps you want to save some money or just like to relax with minimal involvement of intermediaries. In this case, you can independently form a vacation plan for yourself by entering there exactly those sporting events that you want (well, which ones are still available), and not which the tour operator will provide you.
You should buy tickets for the Olympics from the official distributor in Russia ("Cashier RU" company), obtain a tourist visa at the British embassy or consulate, and also buy air tickets and book a hotel room. Also, in this case, you will have to take care of nutrition yourself.
