Itinerary Changes: Sequence of events and places visited may change from the order shown on our website or in our printed literature due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. During local or national holidays, certain facilities such as museums and restaurants, sightseeing tours, and shopping may be limited or not available. Alternatives will be offered whenever possible.
Participation: For the benefit of everyone on your tour, My Greatest Journey’s reserves the right to accept or reject any travel participant and to remove any participant whose conduct is deemed incompatible with the interests of the other participants.
Travelers Who Need Special Assistance: You must report any disability requiring special attention to My Greatest Journey’s at the time the reservation is made. My Greatest Journeys will make reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of disabled travelers, but is not responsible in the event it is unable to do so, nor is it responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or other independent suppliers. Be aware that outside the U.S. the Americans with Disabilities Act is not applicable and facilities for disabled individuals are limited. Most transportation services, including motorcoaches, are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. A qualified and physically able companion must accompany a traveler who will require special assistance, and must assume total responsibility for their well being.
Tour Price and Guarantee: Accommodations are based on double occupancy (unless otherwise indicated). Single room supplements are listed where applicable. All tour prices are based on rates (including foreign exchange rates) known at the time of printing and expected to be in effect at the time of departure. Prices are subject to increase without notice if such rates change prior to departure. The current price will be confirmed at the time of reservation. However, once My Greatest Journey’s has received your deposit for any of our land only tour package that land price will be guaranteed, and any subsequent land-cost increases are at our expense, not including land surcharges and any government tax increases. For Air Inclusive Tour Packages My Greatest Journey’s will guarantee the tour price only after full payment has been made on that tour.
Billing Errors: In the case of billing errors, we reserve the right to re-invoice with correct pricing.
Identification Required for All Flights: Travelers must provide positive identification in the form of a valid passport or photo-drivers license at the time of airport check in. Individual air carriers may differ in their identification requirements. It is the traveler’s responsibility to show up at the airport prepared with the proper identification for check-in.: Due to airline security measures, your photo ID or passport name must match your airline ticket name and your tour reservation name or you may be denied aircraft boarding.
Passport & Visas Required for International Travel: Each U.S. citizen must have a valid passport for international travel including for Canada and Mexico. The expiration date of passports should be at least 6 months after the return date of tour. If you don’t have a passport, call our office and we’ll tell you how to apply for one. Some countries require visas for entry by U.S. citizens. We will send visa applications and instructions if a visa is required for your tour. Holders of non-U.S. passports should contact their nearest consulate and inquire about the necessary passport or visa documentation required for entry into the countries visited.
Young Travelers: Due to heightened security, many countries have adopted practices to prevent international abductions of children. If a child will be traveling with adults other than the parents or with only one parent, it is recommended that a notarized letter be written by the parents or non-traveling parent granting authorization to travel, including the dates of travel. We suggest that you also contact the appropriate consulate and airlines because they may have additional requirements.
