EARLY BOOKING BONUS!

Because travel is so much more with friends - we are offering a referral bonus for our Scotland travelers!

If you and your friends book our Scotland Tour,  you'll be eligible for £25 pounds (GBP) EACH to take with you on the trip. 

How it works -- when your friends book, make sure they list you in the referral field on the booking page. Then both of your rooms will receive the cash reward prior to departure from Good Trip Travel Co. It is on a per room basis, NOT individuals. 

So if three rooms that total six travelers list you as referring them - you will receive £75 total and each of them will receive £25. 

* Good Trip advisors are not eligible to be listed as a referral
