YOUR RESERVATION should be made as soon as possible. Please don’t hesitate to call if
you have any questions. A seat will be reserved for you as soon as the
registration form and the deposit of $100.00 ($300.00 for flight tours) for each
person is received. For
international tours, please include your passport number.
For flight tours, please list legal name along with the name you go by.
The deposit amount applies to the final payment of the tour.
About 6 weeks before the tour departs, you will receive the addresses and
telephone listings of the motels, a list of tour members, a detailed itinerary,
and a request for final payment.
CANCELLATIONS: A full refund will be given for cancellations made 35 days prior to
departure, and on flight tours, 65 days prior to departure. Less than these
stated days, refunds will be made according to the refunds made to Heritage
Tours by the motels, transportation, and attractions. If you must leave the tour
before it is completed, refunds for the unused portion of the tour will be made
for moneys which we can recover. On
flight tours Trip Cancellation Insurance is highly recommended.
Insurance brochures are available through our office, or your local
insurance company.
RESPONSIBILITY: We, Heritage Tours or employees accept no responsibility for any loss,
damage, delay or injury to persons or property. We reserve the right to increase
or decrease the fares if the motels, attractions or the carriers do so. If
unforeseen changes become necessary or improvements can be made we reserve the
right to change or modify any part of the tour. In the event of an outdoor
entertainment or any show or event having to be cancelled, we attempt to
substitute something of equal or better value.
LODGING: We select clean, modern, moderate priced accommodations. We request
non- smoking rooms for travelers who request such. Our prices are based on two
to a room. Singles who stay alone will be asked to pay a single supplement. This
does not guarantee a seat by yourself on the motorcoach. Persons who prefer to
stay three or four in a room will be given a discount.
LODGING BEFORE & AFTER THE TOUR: We have homes in Yoder that provide a Bed and
Breakfast for Heritage Tours passengers. Please let us know if you would like a
room reserved. The cost is $50.00
per room, which is payable at the time of stay. We also have a commercial Bed
and Breakfast, in Yoder, across the road from the office. They offer a special
rate for our travelers.
DEPARTURE and drop off point for all tours is Yoder.
If you wish to make prior arrangements for a pick up stop, along the
route, we will certainly work with you.
MEALS
are an enjoyable part of all of our tours. All of our meal stops are
prearranged. Most of the meals are set up to order from the menu.
The cost of your meals is not included in the fare unless stated.
DOCUMENTS: As of 1-1-2008 a passport will be required for ALL travel outside the United States. For a tour that involves international flight, on the registration form, please print your legal name as recorded on passport.
TOUR INCLUDES: Transportation,
admission to planned attractions, lodging, personal tour escorts, luggage
handling and stated meals.
TOUR DOES NOT INCLUDE items of personal nature, meals (unless stated),
attractions to which you go on your own, tips to your driver, or other persons
rendering personal services to you.
LUGGAGE: Each passenger is allowed one large piece of luggage, which will be
handled for you, without charge, at the motel. You will be responsible to handle
your carry on luggage. At airports you will be responsible for your own luggage.
CLOTHING: Keep it casual. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for our
sightseeing activities. Dress clothes are not necessary unless specified in the
plans. Layered clothing makes it easy to adjust to varying temperatures. A rain
poncho or light raincoat and umbrella are always advisable. Remember to travel
light. Don’t over pack.
HANDICAPPED PERSONS are always welcome aboard, but MUST be accompanied by a companion. If
medication is required, be sure to bring along a sufficient amount for the
number of days on tour.
TIPPING: Your tour director will
take care of tipping to the porters, included meal wait staff, and step-on
guides. If you wish to tip your driver or escort for a job well done, you many
present it on an individual basis.
MOTORCOACHES: We use modern coaches which are clean, temperature controlled, equipped
with a restroom, public address systems, and reclining seats designed for your
comfort. Smoking is not permitted on the motorcoach. Ample rest stops are made.
Seats are not reserved, but filled on a first come, first serve basis. In order
to give every one a variety of views and have the opportunity of meeting other
tour members, we rotate seats on a predetermined basis. We like to start our day
with a brief thought for the day and prayer. We welcome you to lead this, if you
like. We encourage you to share readings, poems, songs, jokes, or anything else
with the group, making our tours a group experience.
PARKING is available behind our office building and in the lot across the alley.
We do ask that you leave your keys in case of emergency.
TOUR ESCORTS: Escorts
will be carefully chosen for their ability to serve you with the same interest
and care as you have come to expect and deserve. Our primary concern is to make
sure that you receive all and more services as outlined and that you are
satisfied and ENJOY your tour.
MEMBERSHIP: We are pleased to be a member of the National
Tour
Association, which takes pride in integrity in
tourism. Our membership ensures that you are traveling with a reputable and
established company. Being part of N.T.A. guarantees for you that we have met
the stringent professional guidelines which they require.
