If an air-inclusive tour is canceled after tickets have been issued, refund will be processed after return of air tickets.

If Globus cancels a tour, we will re-book passengers on the same tour with a different departure date or a similar tour; if Globus has confirmed flights on the canceled tour we will confirm flights for the alternate tour. All re-bookings are subject to availability. 
If the alternate tour is not acceptable, we will refund all monies paid to Globus by your travel agent; there is no additional liability. Globus cannot assume responsibility for any additional costs or any fees relating to the issuance and/or cancellation of air tickets or other travel arrangements not made through Globus.

. Revision fees

A handling fee of $30 per transaction will be charged for any alteration or revision made to a reservation. A change of tour date or tour itinerary within 45 days of departure will be treated as a cancellation and new booking; regular cancellation fees apply.

. Membership

In order to ensure congenial membership, Globus reserves the right to accept or reject any person as a tour participant, and to expel from the tour any participant whose conduct is deemed incompatible with the interests of the tour group.

. Travelers who need special assistance

Any disability requiring special attention must be reported to Globus at the time the reservation is made. Globus will make reasonable attempts to accommodate the special needs of disabled tour members, 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. European touring motorcoaches are not equipped with wheelchair ramps. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to a tour member for walking, dining, getting on and off motorcoaches, and other transportation vehicles or other personal needs. Travelers who need such assistance, must be accompanied by a qualified companion.

. Young tour participants

Tour participants who are less than 18 years old on the tour departure date must be accompanied by an adult; they receive a 10% discount on the land tour price. On escorted tours, and cruises starting from Athens we do not accept children under eight years old, because we have found they are too young to enjoy these vacations.

On independent city stays there is no age limit. Land arrangements for infants under 
two on independent city stays are free of charge, providing parents pay directly to the hotels for food, crib, etc. Infants sometimes fly free of charge if they do not occupy a seat, while some airlines charge 10%. An airline ticket is always required for the child. Please arrange for this ticket directly with the airline.

. Smoking

Smoking is not allowed on Globus motorcoaches.

. Tour prices

Air-inclusive prices are for departures from the USA. Tour prices are per person, based on two persons sharing a room. Single room supplements and triple room reductions are listed where applicable. All tour prices are based on rates (including foreign exchange rates) known January of this year and expected to be in effect at the time of departure. They are subject to increase without notice if such rates change prior to departure. Taxes and fees are subject to change without notice.

A valid passport is required of all tour participants. A U.S. passport is valid for ten years (five years for children). To apply for passports you can contact either your local passport office, designated federal or state clerk of court, or selected post offices. Your travel agent will help you obtain the necessary forms for passport application.

. Visas

At the time of printing, visas for Russia, Belarus, Egypt, and Jordan are required of all tour members. U.S. citizens do not require visas for any other country.

For tours requiring visas for U.S. citizens, detailed visa information will be mailed or faxed to your travel agent. Non-U.S. citizens must consult with the appropriate consulates to determine if any visas are needed. Securing any needed visas is the responsibility of the tour participant.

. Hotel accommodations

The hotels listed in this brochure will be used on most departures. If a change becomes necessary for any reason, hotels substituted will be equivalent to those shown.

While every effort is made to reserve only twin-bedded rooms, it may occasionally happen that a hotel provides some double-bedded rooms instead. These rooms will be allocated to couples.

Please note that throughout Europe it is standard policy that hotel rooms are not available for check-in before 1 p.m.

. Private bath and single rooms

If, very exceptionally, private bath or single rooms are not available as reserved by us, refunds will be made by the tour director. Claims made in this respect cannot be accepted after the tour.

Porterage for one suitcase on tour is included in the tour price. Due to limited coach capacity, this single bag should have dimensions not exceeding 30"x18"x10" and weight not exceeding 60 lbs (27kg). A charge of US$3 per traveling day will be collected by the tour director if a second piece of baggage is carried, or if the suitcase exceeds the established weight and/or dimensions. International air carriers may also impose fees or require you to remove articles and put them in another bag if weight or size limits on checked or carry-on luggage are exceeded..

Wheeled carry-on cases are not suitable as hand luggage on motorcoaches.

No responsibility is accepted for loss of or damage to baggage or any of the passengers' belongings. Baggage insurance is recommended.

To ensure quick and safe receipt of documents, a $15 charge per reservation can be added for two-day delivery in the continental USA. (Two-day delivery is required for reservations made within 45 days of tour departure).
