STATEMENTS OF RESPONSIBILITY
We do not accept responsibility for losses or additional expenses due to delay or changes in air schedules, hotel
overbookings, other hotel related problems or causes, and/or travel supplier cancellations or postponements. Travel suppliers include all tour operators, cruise lines, airlines, hotels, bus companies, entertainment venues, and any
other travel supplier used to operate the tour. All such losses or expenses will be the responsibility of the passenger. We
reserve the right to make adjustments to the itinerary as deemed desirable by us, and we reserve the right to cancel any
tour prior to departure. If a tour is canceled beyond the control of us, we will provide a refund or a future travel credit to be used two years from the date of issuance for the value of all funds paid by the passenger less nonrefundable travel supplier
prepaid deposits, travel supplier change fees, nonrefundable travel protection premiums, and a $150 administration fee.
ABILITY TO TRAVEL STATEMENT:
Passengers registering for the tour accept the responsibility for being in good health and able to walk and travel
on the tour. Because many of the sites are not accessible to the physically challenged, those needing oxygen,
wheelchairs, or other ambulatory assistance will find the tour extremely limiting to their experiences. We reserve
the right to refuse or revoke travel to anyone who is, in the sole judgment of us, incapable of group travel without
causing undue demands upon the staff or other tour participants. Accessible rooms/cabins are limited and subject
to confirmation after receiving the passenger’s written request.
PASSPORT INFORMATION:
Passport information must be submitted to our office no later than 7/15/21. Failure to provide your passport
information to our office by this date may result in change fees or denial of travel. Discrepancies in information
may result in change fees, delays in receiving travel documents for your trip, or denial of travel. Any fees incurred
due to discrepancies are the responsibility of the passenger. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months after
the return date.
PRICE INCREASES:
All prices quoted in this brochure are subject to change prior to payment in full due to currency fluctuations, fuel surcharge
increases, government taxes and fees increases or unforeseen circumstances. In addition, you may be subject to a price
increase after payment in full has been received due to potential government imposed taxes and fees.
AIRLINE ROUTES and TICKETS:
In order to keep prices low, we do not guarantee the most direct routing to your final destination. Once issued, airline tickets cannot be changed or refunded thereafter. Air transportation to/from your destination will be economy class on
IATA and ARC carriers utilizing APEX or SUPER APEX non-refundable, non-amendable tickets for groups of 10 or more
flying together on entire itinerary. If you choose to depart from a different city than your group or traveling companion, or
deviate your flight and/or trip plans, and/or you are taking a pre or post tour, you may fly on a different scheduled flight(s)
than the rest of your group. If you make your own air arrangements, you are responsible for booking all needed flights for
your travel unless specified otherwise. Contact your travel advisor for further details.
FLIGHT TIMES AND SEATING:
All flights are subject to change by the airlines without advance notice. We are not responsible for such changes or
delays and do not reimburse expenses resulting from such delays. If you are making your own flight arrangements to the
departure city, we recommend you purchase a ticket that can be exchanged without large penalties. There is no advance
seat selection for groups on most airlines. Early check-in is necessary to secure seats with travel companions and those
with special needs. Due to security measures taken at airports, it is advisable to arrive at the airport three hours prior to
departure time. Seating is solely under the control of the airlines. You will receive your flight information 60-30 days prior
to departure. Final documents are sent approximately 2-3 weeks prior to departure.
ADDITIONAL AIRLINE FEES:
You will likely incur additional airline checked baggage fees that are not included in the price of the tour. These fees vary
by airline and are at the airline’s discretion on each segment of the flight itinerary. You may also incur optional fees i.e.
food, excess baggage, overweight baggage, items of personal nature, etc.
DEVIATIONS AND AIR UPGRADE REQUESTS:
Deviation and Air Upgrade requests must be submitted in writing and are subject to additional airline fees. Deviations
and Air Upgrades are not always possible given the group schedule and time of ticketing. Passengers who are ticketed
with air deviations and/or upgrades will likely not fly with the group and will therefore need to provide their own transfers.

Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this brochure. While we will make every effort to ensure you will
see all sites listed in this brochure, the availability of sites, order of sites and/or days and number of days may be altered

approved in writing and signed by an authorized officer of the tour operator. Except as stated herein, no other person is
authorized to cancel, modify or vary the tour arrangements or to make any representation of warranty concerning the tour.
Due to airline schedules, some participants may receive one or two extra leisure days at a nominal per day charge and
some extensions may not be available on all departure dates. If itinerary changes necessitate extra overnights, you will
be charged $125 per night; single rooms $175 per night. Meals for extra nights are not included.
