• Security: Security is a major concern to all of us and the situation globally is constantly changing. Events around the world, coupled with the “Travel Advisories” put out by various governments, may at times necessitate changes to the accommodation and itinerary or even trip cancellation. You must accept these risks involved in travel to any country that may experience security diffi culties and accept responsibility for your own travel decisions.
• Travel insurance:
  - Travel insurance is highly recommended for all guests covering all applicable dates of travel with the Provider. This insurance should cover: trip interruption, personal injury, medical expenses, evacuation and repatriation cover including during pandemic events. The choice of insurer is yours.
  - The availability of travel insurance and extent of cover is constantly changing. For most up to date information talk to your reservation agent. The Provider may receive a commission for introducing you to a travel insurance provider.
  - The Provider cannot be held responsible for your failure to obtain insurance which is appropriate, and we recommend you purchase your insurance at or soon after booking your trip. The Provider (other than in circumstances where the Provider has been negligent) will not be held liable for any costs incurred by the guest resulting from their failure to obtain adequate travel insurance.
• Wifi: Complimentary Wi-Fi service is available in the rooms and public areas of most accommodation. Complimentary Wi-Fi is also provided on-board the motorcoaches, however this is not available in all locations, such as on motorcoaches on the local operator Day Tours and Short Breaks in the Northern Territory. The Wi-Fi on the motorcoaches uses the mobile phone network and as a result the connection will be slower than standard broadband and at times may not be available. Audio and Video streaming is not available using motorcoach WiFi. Please note that it may not be available on train trips, cruises, lodges, tented camps or when the main motorcoach is not being used, such as on transfer motorcoaches and other local services.
• Transfers: Transfers can be purchased for an additional cost in many destinations. There will be no refund for missed or unused transfers. If you require and reserve airport transfers and did not purchase your flights from the local operator, you will need to provide your arrival and departure flight information to the local operator 60 days before flight departure depending on the destination. It is your responsibility to update the local operator with any changes to your flight schedule to ensure that you receive your transfers. Failure to do so may result in missing these services and no refund shall be due for missed transfers resulting from missing or outdated flight information.
• Luggage Allowances: 
  - Due to limited motorcoach capacity, a single bag is allowed with dimensions not exceeding 30”x18”x10” (76x46x25cm) and weight not exceeding 20kgs./44lbs. Carry-on/hand luggage is restricted to one piece per person, not exceeding 12”x11”x6” (30x28x14cm) to fit under your coach seat or in the small overhead compartment. Carry-ons with telescopic handles and wheels will not fit in the overhead compartments or under seats and therefore, cannot be accepted as carry-on luggage. Carry-on/hand luggage handling is the responsibility of each guest and must be taken on and off the coach by you each day of the guided vacation.
  - If you wish to bring a second item of luggage this must be requested at time of booking, may not be permitted and will incur an additional charge. Additional items not pre-booked or luggage which exceeds weight or size limits may be refused.
  - Please be advised that stricter luggage allowances may be in place for other methods of transportation such as fl ights and cruises. Please confi rm with your local sales representative or online reservation agent.
  - The local operator and the local operator' affi liated entities shall not be liable for loss or damage to luggage or any guest's belongings. Guests should immediately report lost items to the Travel Director who will assist in completing a lost property form that can be used for an insurance claim.

  - Tips are included for services on your guided vacation, except to your Motorcoach Driver, Travel Director, Local Host and Local Experts whose tips/gratuities should be extended on a voluntary, individual basis at the end of your vacation. Included tips cover all services provided by dining-room waiters, housekeeping staff and porters at hotels.
  - Tips for cruises and train journeys are subject to other arrangements which may be confi rmed with your local sales agent or online reservation agent.
• Passports, Visas and other Entry/Exit Requirements:
  - All guests must be in possession of a machine-readable passport valid for 6 months after their trip return date along with applicable visas. Due to government-imposed security/immigration measures, passport and emergency contact information is required for all guests prior to the release of travel documents.
  - It is the guest's sole responsibility to secure and/or pay for any and all visas, or Electronic Travel Authorisations (ETAs), affi davits, vaccinations, etc. that are required in order to be permitted entry into each destination. In some countries you may be subject to entry (reciprocity) fees and/or departure taxes/exit fees which will be collected at the airports upon entry/departure by local government authorities.
  - You should check with your Travel Agent or Consular Service for information regarding necessary visa and travel documentation for your entire trip. Where possible we strongly recommend obtaining any required visa or documentation prior to departure. Obtaining documentation while travelling can be a time-consuming process and some countries will not issue documentation at the border. For some countries an invitation letter is required from the Ground Handler to send along with the visa application.
  - Please note that entry to any country may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are complete. The Provider will require full passport information (full name, date of birth, passport number, Nationality, issue and expiry dates) prior to final payment.
  - For up-to-date detailed information on travel documents and visas, entry/exit taxes and further information on entry and exit requirements please check with your Travel Agent or local consular services. Obtaining and carrying these documents is your sole responsibility.
  - The Provider bears no responsibility for such information and will not be responsible for advising and/or obtaining required travel documentation for any guest, or for any delays, damages, and/or losses including missed portions of your vacation related to improper documentation or government decisions about entry.
• For Your Comfort: The Provider enforces a strict no smoking (including e-cigarettes) and no alcohol policy on board motorcoaches. Regular comfort stops are made on travelling days. Many hotels, restaurants, trains, cruises and other venues are 100% smoke free. The Provider operates a daily seat rotation system.

Depending on your arrival time, your hotel room may not be available until the afternoon. Most hotels allow check-in between 1:00pm-3:00pm, however some charge a fee for early check-in. Please check at the hotel desk to see if you may store your luggage at the hotel if you wish to explore the city on your own before check-in.
