Hi, I am planning to go on this tour in August (25th departure date) but I just had a few queries before I book. My partner and I are both British Citizens with UK Passports so can I presume we don't need any sort of Visa? I have had a look on the Canadian Visa website and know that UK citizens do not need a Visa if only staying for a certain amount of time but just wanted to check if you knew anymore info or have had any British citizens do this tour in the past?
Also I was wondering what happens if we choose not to do some of the optional attractions particularly in New York (2nd day)? Do we get this as free time and meet up with the group later or do we have to stay outside the attraction for the duration?
Thanks
We are unfortunately unable to guarantee the specifics of international travel. Please contact your local passport agency for more information pertaining to international visas. There hasn't been any problem with most of our European passengers, but; please make sure your personal requirements for international travel are met.
If you choose not to take an optional tour, you can choose to have free time to yourselves. Just make sure to coordinate with the tour guide and make sure you are back at the time he specifies. We do not recommend you leaving on your own, but; you are free to do so at your own risk if you choose.

If you would like to take the optional tours, you can only use cash. So please bring ample cash along to pay for the optional tours you want to take. Also, remember to keep $200-300 with you during the trip, just in case, so you will have emergency funds to spend on more food, tours, or shopping.
If you would like to pay for the tour through our website (not optional tours), we accept all major credit cards, wire transfers, bank cash deposits, PayPal, and money orders.

With regard to the pickup point at the Marriott in Gathersburg, can I leave my car parked there for the five days of the tour? If so, is there a charge?
Thanks.
We cannot give you authorization to leave your car parked at the Marriott for 5 days. We do not have an official parking spot where you can leave your cars for 5 days. You may try and find a parking complex around the pick up location that allows for 5 day parking.
Most of our guests who join these tours are arriving from airports and/or taking the local taxi to get to the departure location.

The tour gets back in China town around 8:30-9:30 p.m. Remember, the drop off times will all be dependent on the traffic, weather, and route conditions at that time. If you are concerned with catching a plane, you should ask for a post-tour hotel extension and catch a plane the next day.

i wanted to ask you regarding the pickup location...i have booked a hotel near gare du nord train station....now,will i be picked from my hotel or do i need to reach to some other location on my own and secondly at what exact time will the tour start.
The pick up location offered for this tour is The McDonalds at 211 Boulevard Vincent Auriol, 75013 Paris, Franc. From what you have told me about your hotel, you should not be that far from the restaurant. I would advise you to get to McDonalds on your own, via a taxi.
The tour departs from the pick up location at 9:00 a.m. You need to be at the pick up location before 9:00 a.m.

No, you take a slow walk for 20 minutes of the Freedom Trail. A 2.5 walk may be too much for some of our tourists. You will travel the rest of the way on a bus.

This is the tour schedule for this tour. This tour does visit other cities through the week and therefore will only offer the Paris departure location for pick up on Saturdays.

I live in Philadelphia and would like to take this tour. As i would not be able to travel to NY the morning of the departure, are there any hotels near by the chinatown pick up location that you might know of.
Thank you
Yes, we do offer pre-tour hotel extensions around the pick up location. If you would like us to perform a pre-tour hotel extension, please let use know when you book this tour by adding your request in the "Comment" section of your online booking.

hi, i want to ask in the 408$ price is it includes the 6 meals yet? because I saw in the price that it is included but in the booking section there is the meals plan with upgrades prices so I'm confused.
The $408 does not include meals or optional tours. $408 is the price of one person on a tour of 2 people sharing one room. This tour does allow you to upgrade and have meals included, however; the price will be different. You can use the price calculator to find the price of an upgraded tour.
