It is your responsibility to arrive on time for all scheduled flights, cruises, and package components. You are not required to attend the prepackaged tours. If you choose not to attend any or all of the tours, there is no refund, partial or otherwise for that tour. Arriving late may be considered a "no-show", in which case you will not be eligible for a refund for the unused service(s). We cannot guarantee the number of passengers who will be on any given tour. You may find that you are traveling with a sizeable group or only with your own companions. Services, however, will remain constant no matter the number of tour participants. Persons requiring any assistance or who have any form of disability should refer to section "Travelers With Disabilities".
On dates including, but not limited to religious holidays and national celebrations, some monuments and sites may be closed. On these occasions, touring itineraries may be amended to reflect these closures. Occasionally, during holidays and certain periods, and/or due to unforeseen circumstances including weather conditions, there may be last-minute changes, sometimes after arrival, affecting the sequence of the tour or locations visited. Therefore, we reserve the right to adjust the tour sequence. In such cases, there will be no cost adjustment.
National monuments and tourist sites regularly undergo renovations, which can obscure the monument's view. No tour will be canceled due to renovations, however, Sights2See Travel will decide based on the conditions whether to amend an itinerary. Sights2See Travel itineraries may contain suggestions for activities for your leisure time; these suggestions do not constitute an endorsement of any specific service provider and the decision to participate in any such activities should be made independently and with due consideration.
GROUP HARMONY: To ensure the desired group synergy, Sights2See Travel reserves the right to accept, reject or expel any individual who is deemed disruptive or incompatible with the interests of the group, including, but not limited to, individuals who are intoxicated and/or under the influence of drugs, theft, fighting, not following the rules and laws of the vacation location, hotel/resort, etc. Expenses, including cancellation fees and/or costs for alternate travel plans or to return home, are the sole responsibility of the passenger and their traveling companions.

POLICIES OF COMMON CARRIERS
GENERAL POLICIES: TSA regulations require that passenger information entered into common carrier reservation systems match the passenger’s information as listed on their passport or other government-issued ids. Passengers are responsible to provide Sights2See Travel with the correct spelling and listing of their name as it appears on their passport (or other government-issued I.D.), as well as the date of birth, gender, address, phone number, and email for all passengers traveling together. Passengers are responsible for ensuring that the identifying information listed on their invoices and travel documents are correct.

Sights2See Travel is not responsible for penalties incurred for tickets, international or domestic, due to schedule and/or flight changes or missed flights. In the case that Sights2See Travel purchases airline tickets on your behalf, Sights2See Travel will follow the policies of the airlines, which may change at any time. Most airline tickets require immediate and full payment of the airfare upon booking. Any replacement air arrangements and airfare will be the sole responsibility of the passenger.
Sights2See Travel will do its best to use major carriers for their flights. There may be times when discount carriers are used. In the case where the airline policy conflicts with this policy, the airline policy will prevail, with the exception of the luggage requirement stated in the group vacation itinerary. Sights2See Travel is not responsible for the services and policies imposed by the airlines.

Sights2See Travel does not administer either of these programs or determine the eligibility of these programs. Sights2See Travel will not be responsible if the passenger is denied the use of these programs.

It is highly recommended that the passenger secure travel insurance in case there is an unforeseen need for medical attention.
HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: Check with your healthcare provider for up-to-date requirements and if you are fit to travel. You may also check the Centers for Disease Control (http://www.cdc.gov) and/or the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/en/) for their recommendations. Required inoculations, if any, must be recorded by the clients' health practitioner on a valid vaccination certificate which the client must carry for proof of inoculation where required. Individuals with heart disease, chronic illness, physical handicap, advanced pregnancy, or mental illness should not participate in these rigorous travel programs. Any person who arrives at the destination ill with an apparent fever or becomes ill during the tour will be removed from the group and directed to a local medical facility for diagnosis. Only upon clearance by an accredited medical facility will that individual be allowed to resume group travel. All costs associated with medical treatment and related expenses such as additional hotel nights or transportation not included in the original itinerary will necessarily be borne by the passenger.

A list of such countries is available at https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/spray.
TRAVELERS WITH DISABILITIES
We at Sights2See Travel want all of our clients to enjoy their travel itineraries and excursions. We also understand that not everyone may have the same capabilities as others. If you or anyone in your party requires any form of assistance, including but not limited to, physical assistance, sight or hearing impairments, you are required to notify Sights2See Travel prior to reserving travel. We will review with you the itinerary and physical requirements of the vacation to ensure we can work with your disabilities. If it is decided that the tour/vacation works for you and additional services are needed, you must be accompanied by an individual responsible for providing those services. Tour managers, guides, drivers, or other tours, hotel, ship personnel are not able to provide such assistance. In order to participate in escorted tours, passengers must be able to understand and follow instructions given by the Tour Director at all times, both for the successful operation of the tour as well as for everyone’s safety. The travel itinerary is subject to change prior to or during the vacation for various reasons outside of Sights2See Travel’s control. If this occurs, the vacation may not be best suited for you. You agree and hold Sights2See Travel harmless if this occurs and you are unable to fully participate in the tours/vacation. No refunds, partial or otherwise, will be provided in the case of an unscheduled itinerary change.
Sights2See Travel reserves the right to reject participation or remove any individual from a tour/vacation if notification of any disabilities was not previously provided and/or when, in our sole judgment, continued participation would significantly hinder the services to be provided to all guests. Expenses, including cancellation fees and/or costs for alternate travel plans or to return home, will be the sole responsibility of the passenger. Escorted tours are fast-paced, often requiring lengthy walks over uneven terrain. Some activities may have weight limits. In the interests of group harmony, clients should be able to maintain the pace of the tour. Clients with special needs may be better served independently. Sights2See Travel can suggest touring options based on specific requirements.
WHEELCHAIRS & WALKERS: Travel within the US: Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (https://www.ada.gov), Sights2See Travel will use our best efforts to accommodate travelers with disabilities to the extent possible and consistent with the specific tour itinerary. Nevertheless, you may find that a certain tour's features may not be accessible to the extent that a wheelchair, scooter, or other special equipment to participate are required. We cannot provide individual assistance to travelers with wheelchairs or other mobility devices. We regret that some itineraries cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Sights2See Travel will endeavor to accommodate special access needs but does not guarantee that it will be able to do so in all cases.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL: Hotels, sea, and river cruises outside of the United States are not required to comply with ADA requirements and therefore may not have ramps, wide entryways, or elevators to accommodate disabled passengers or devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, or motorized scooters. Due to physical constraints and space limitations, wheelchairs, walkers and motorized scooters may not be taken aboard motor coaches and river cruises. Sights2See Travel will endeavor to accommodate special access needs but does not guarantee that it will be able to do so in all cases.
SERVICE ANIMALS: Passengers on the USA escorted tours who require a service animal because of a disability must contact Sights2See Travel prior to booking a tour. Service animals cannot be accommodated at international locations.
