Financial Security

We are licensed by the UK Goverment through the Civil Aviation Authority and hold an Air Travel Organisers Licence. This means that we are permitted to sell you holidays which include air travel. The licence, together with the associated bonding, is renewed annually and we are required to go through a rigorous inspection before it is renewed. Our ATOL number is ATOL 5359. ATOL Protection extends primarily to customers who book and pay in the United Kingdom. Click on the ATOL logo if you want to know more.

In The Saddle is a tour operator member of the Association of British Travel Agents, probably the most widely known standard setting body of the travel industry. As with the ATOL licence we must renew and be checked annually. ABTA sets extremely high standards to which tour operators should comply with. We are also bonded with ABTA for the holidays we sell which do not have a flight element.

We are also members of the Association of Independent Tour Operators, having met yet another rigorous check and satisfied financial and other criteria. As an association of independent and usually specialist companies, we share a common dedication to high standards of quality and personal service.
