Please note on some regional vacations, transfers and sightseeing trips smaller motorcoaches without toilet facilities may be used used. If, due to circumstances beyond our control, motorcoaches are used otherwise than as advertised, a refund of $10 per person will be made.
Toilets may be affected by higher altitude or extreme weather condi- tions such as freezing temperatures and for the comfort of those on board the motorcoach the toilets may have to be closed. In these circumstances, additional rest breaks will be incorporated into the itinerary.
→ HOTEL ACCOMODATIONS
Prices are per person, based on two persons sharing a room with private bath or shower. Triple rooms may be available on selected vacations in limited numbers. Triple or quad occupancy rooms may utilise rollaway beds. This can be confirmed with your local sales agent or online reservation agent.
Every effort has been made to reserve two-bed rooms; however, on some occasions, rooms with one double bed may be the only option available. These rooms will be allocated to solo travelers and couples first; other rooms may feature a single bed and rollaway bed, murphy bed or sleeper sofa. A limited number of double rooms are available with our shared rooming service on certain trips. Trafalgar shall not be responsible or liable for any claims or issues arising out of the shared rooming.
Special room requests (adjacent, connecting or lower-floor rooms, as examples) must be made at time of booking. Special room requests are not guaranteed and are based on availability at time of check-in. Many hotels, lodges and luxury tented camps are 100% smoke-free, including all guest rooms, restaurants, lounges, meeting rooms and public spaces. Smoking in a non-smoking room will result in a fine.
Substitute accomodations may be used sometimes. We try to use those of similar standard. Hotel Frequent Traveler program points are not earned with hotels on Trafalgar trips.
Please note that hotel room sizes, standards, facilities and services provided may vary from country to country and region to region and are often local in style. Accomodations outside of the USA may not be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and may not have wheelchair accessibility.

Complimentary WiFi service is available in many Trafalgar hotel guestrooms and/or the public areas of most hotels. In most countries complimentary WiFi is also provided on-board the motorcoaches except in remote locations. The WiFi on the motorcoaches uses the cellular 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.

Mini-stays, Explorers or itinerary extensions are normally not accompanied by Travel Director and are operated on a locally hosted basis using English-speaking Local Host services unless otherwise described.

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.
A charge of US$6 or local currency equivalent per travelling day will be collected by the Travel Director if a second piece of luggage is permitted to be carried, or if suitcase exceeds weight or size limits.

• Some guided vacations include rough terrain, extensive walking over cobblestone streets, uneven pavement,
steps and/or locations which may not be easily accessible
or accessible by wheelchair. During the guided vacation, Trafalgar may make arrangements with carriers, hotels and other independent suppliers to provide travel services. These parties are independent entities which Trafalgar does not control. Accomodations on international guided vacations may differ from those in the United States. Trafalgar cannot guarantee disability access or accomodations for guests traveling on guided vacations.
Many Optional Experiences are operated by independent third party suppliers, not Trafalgar. These are not part of the vacation package provided by us. Your contract will be with the operator of the experience. We are not responsible for providing of the experience, or anything that happens during the experience. Some experiences involve outdoor activities and/or can be physically demanding. You must make your own decisions about experiences and participate only in activities that suit your physical ability: we suggest that you speak with your medical provider if you have questions about your abilities. We recommend you check whether any insurance you have also includes your participation in adventure activities you may undertake.
Trafalgar may, in its sole discretion, decline booking any guest or remove any guest who cannot comply or refuses to comply with Trafalgar’s terms and conditions. If this occurs, you are responsible for the cost of travel back to your hometown and Trafalgar shall not be liable for your losses and no refund shall be provided.
→ BEHAVIOUR
Trafalgar are here to provide the best services possible but in doing so we will not tolerate abusive or aggressive behavior from our guests. We will refuse to deal with and may terminate the vacation of guests who assault our Trafalgar staff, suppliers or fellow guests or who are abusive or aggressive to them.
When you make a booking, you accept responsibility for the proper conduct of all members of your party during your travels with Trafalgar. We reserve the right at any time to terminate the travel arrangements and/or cease to deal with any party member(s) whose behavior, in the reasonable opinion of us or our suppliers, may cause danger, upset, disruption or distress to anyone else or damage to property. Full cancelation charges will apply and no refund will be made. We shall have no obligation to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses (including but not limited to alternative accomo- dations and return transportation arrangements) guest may incur as a result of the travel arrangements being terminated.
If you damage the accomodations in which you are staying or any property, you must reimburse the accomodations provider or property owner concerned for the cost of the damage before the end of your stay if the cost has been established by then or as soon as it has been established if later. You must indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (also including legal costs) made against us. Criminal proceedings may be instigated. Trafalgar is not responsible for any costs incurred concerning a guest removed from a guided vacation or aircraft, ship or train. Guests agree not to hold Trafalgar or any of its related entities liable for any actions taken under these terms and conditions.

Some discounts cannot be combined and should be confirmed with your local Travel Agent.
→ ITINERARY VARIATIONS
Trafalgar strives to improve guided vacation itineraries, services and features. If improvements can be made, or if circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. At certain peak periods multiple departures may operate, sometimes in reverse order; hotels may vary from those stated on the itinerary pages. On guided vacations which include cruises, the ship may be changed for operational reasons. Departures in early and late season are potentially operated in cool weather conditions. As a result, itinerary variations may occur. Certain activities may not be precisely as described or may not be available due to seasonality or weather conditions. We will try to notify you or your Travel Agent of changes. If your enjoyment may be diminished by such limitations, please check with us or your Travel Agent before making a reservation.
Trafalgar’s Be My Guest, Connect with Locals, Eat With experiences are unique and take place in singular locations. In the unlikely event that our local hosts are unable to welcome Trafalgar guests, Trafalgar will attempt to find an alternate experience or a highlight meal will be provided in place of the Be My Guest, Connect with Locals, Eat With experience.
→ HOLIDAYS AND CRUISE CHANGES
During local or national vacations, certain facilities such as museums, sight- seeing trips and shopping may be limited or unavailable. In such instances itinerary changes are made by Trafalgar seeking to reduce inconvenience to guests. Such changes are deemed not to be a major change to the itin- erary, and no compensation will be payable to guests. Holidays, closing
