GENERAL INFORMATION
Guest Eligibility
All vacationers must be able to sleep through the night without routine staff assistance. Most trips require a lot of walking at a normal pace. If your client is ambulatory but a slow walker, we can accommodate with a wheelchair on some tours. Some destinations are very challenging for our staff to push so please enquire first. We can accept a maximum of two clients who can be accommodated with manual wheelchair assistance at a staff ratio of 1:2.
Medical Assistance
Clients needing medical assistance such as blood testing or injections: Please let us know and we will try to accommodate. This is entirely up to trained staff availability.
Safety Guidelines
We do not accept vacationers who are verbally or physically aggressive, out of utmost concern for the safety and enjoyment of our groups.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation policy: If you cancel prior to 90 days before the trip, we will refund everything except any non-refundable prepaid activities and airline tickets. Most airlines now issue a credit for the full amount paid, but it must be used within a certain time frame. .
Passport Requirements
International destinations require a current passport with at least six months after travel before expiration.
DOMESTIC TRIPS REQUIRE EITHER A CURRENT ‘REALID’ (with a gold star) OR A CURRENT PASSPORT CARD or CURRENT PASSPORT BOOK. NO EXCEPTIONS.
We recommend getting a passport or passport card, as they’re good for ten years. PLEASE DON’T DELAY in getting the correct ID, it can take months.
Undecided?
If you would like to pre-pay for a tour, but haven't yet decided on which trip you'll choose, we are happy to accept prepayment which we will hold as a credit in your name and apply it to the tour when you're ready to sign up. This prepayment is YOUR money and will be held separately, not as part of our regular operating budget.
TRIP CANCELLATION & MEDICAL INSURANCE
​We strongly encourage all travelers to purchase trip cancellation and medical insurance. Even if you are in excellent health, unexpected illness or injury can happen, and having insurance can help protect your investment.
Depending on the policy and the reason for cancellation, trip insurance may reimburse your trip costs if you are unable to travel. You must file a claim directly with the insurance company, and coverage is subject to the terms, conditions, and exclusions of the policy.
If you are not insured and need to cancel your trip on short notice, it may be impossible for us to find a replacement, and you could lose some or all of your trip payment.
We will purchase a policy online for you through AIG Travel Guard within two weeks of receiving your first deposit, unless you prefer to purchase a policy independently.
Other reputable companies, including Allianz, also offer travel insurance options.
The cost of a policy is generally based on the total trip cost and the traveler’s age.
If you choose not to purchase trip insurance, we will require you to sign a waiver declining coverage.
