Air transportation (where included) is based on contracted bulk fare(s) in economy class on participating IATA or ARC carriers. All fares are subject to change and availability. Should airline schedule changes result in a necessity to alter the land arrangements, any additional expenses must be borne by the passenger.
Hotels
Accommodations are on “run-of-the-house” basis. We reserve the right to substitute hotels of the same or similar category. Holiday supplements may apply in some cases. Please note that some hotels, although advertised as “air-conditioned,” are actually “air-cooled.”

Sightseeing
On Independent programs, the sightseeing by motorcoach is operated by local companies and may consist of multi-national participants and multi-language guides. Private car tours utilize the services of an English-speaking driver or driver plus guide as specified. Best Value Group Motorcoach Programs are operated by local European tour operators and are escorted throughout and are English speaking only.
About Your Health

We will be happy to advise you of the approximate number of passengers booked on your tour, if you contact us 30 days in advance of your departure. However, please bear in mind that often the passenger count may fluctuate up until arrival date in each destination.
