PAYMENT: MULTI-DAY TOURS:
A deposit of $75.00 or the amount stated in the trip description, is due in our office two weeks after making reservations or reservations may be cancelled without further notice on our part. The full cost of the trip is due 60 days prior to departure.
LUGGAGE TAGS:
Approximately 7-10 days prior to departure you will receive a letter listing departure times, pickup points, luggage tags, and hotel telephone numbers. Luggage tags are coded for hotel use and do not reflect your assigned seat number
LUGGAGE:
One piece of luggage for each person, weighing not more than 40 pounds, is included in the tour cost. A second piece of luggage, not weighing more than 40 pounds, will be handled at the cost of $5.00 per day. WE MUST ENFORCE THE LUGGAGE WEIGHT, AS OUR DRIVERS CANNOT HANDLE BAGS OVER 40 LBS. PLEASE PAY FOR A SECOND BAG IF YOUR FIRST BAG IS OVER 40 LBS. BAGS WILL BE WEIGHED THIS YEAR, ANY BAG OVER THE WEIGHT LIMIT WILL BE CHARGED $5.00 PER DAY EXTRA. In addition, a small piece of hand luggage may be carried on the coach, and will be your responsibility for the entire trip. This carry on piece must be small enough (8” x 16” x 20”) to fit in the overhead bin. Soft sided will fit better in this bin. Although every effort is made to handle luggage as carefully as possible, we cannot assume liability nor accept claim for loss or damage of luggage due to breakage, theft, hotel or carrier handling. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO EXAMINE ALL CARRY ON LUGGAGE AND BAGS. DUE TO STAFFING ISSUES AT SOME HOTELS, BAGGAGE HANDLING MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE. Bear this in mind when packing, you may need to handle luggage at times yourself. Luggage with wheels would be helpful.
SEATING:
You determine the location of your seat for the first day of the trip based on when your deposit is made. Seats are assigned in accordance with the order deposits are received, and are rotated each traveling day on multi-day trips.
(NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE TO THIS RULE.) On single day tours seats are not rotated, and assignment is made by order of full payment.

This protection could prevent a costly cancellation fee. The cost is $11.00 per day for tours up to 9 days. For tours 10 days and over the cost will be $14.00 per day. A complete refund of the cost of the tour will be made up to 48 hours before departure. To cancel a tour, a telephone call must be received in our office by this deadline. In the case of a Monday or Tuesday departure, the cancellation must be received in our office before 5 p.m. the Friday before the tour departs.
