BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

CIE Tours is not responsible for penalties incurred for tickets, international or domestic, not issued by CIE Tours due to schedule and/or flight changes.

DOCUMENTS: Documents will be shipped by U.P.S. ground service approximately 21 days prior to departure provided full payment has been received. If documents are required earlier, we need sufficient notice to arrange for early delivery by regular service. Late bookings will incur an express service
delivery charge.

CIE TOURS CANCELLATIONS: If it becomes necessary for CIE Tours to cancel a coach tour prior to departure, for reasons outside of a Force Majeure Event, CIE Tours will rebook the group on the same tour for a future date of their choice at no additional land cost provided the new dates are within the same season or a voucher for a Future Travel Credit will be provided. CIE Tours will make every effort to secure the same hotel and visits for the future dates and confirmation will be based on availability. CIE Tours cannot accept responsibility for any additional costs or fees related to a canceled tour booking or for any cancellation penalties due to non-refundable airfares or deposits. Travelers specifically agree and acknowledge that these are their sole remedies and specifically agree to not dispute or challenge credit card or debit card charges related to such travel.

TRAVELERS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS: Clients who require physical assistance or special accommodations of any kind must advise CIE Tours at time of booking and must travel with a qualified and physically-able travel companion to provide such assistance. CIE Tours 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. Neither CIE Tours nor its drivers or guides provide personal services (such as pushing a wheelchair, assisting with walking, etc.) and CIE Tours does not provide individual assistance to a vacation participant for walking, getting on and off motorized coaches, and other vehicles, entering/exiting attractions or other personal needs. As coaches are not equipped with wheelchair ramps, all tour members must be able to mount 3 or 4 steps into a coach. Motorized scooters are unsuitable for the majority of our vacation packages but may be possible for private driver vacations. If CIE Tours is not notified at time of reservation of any disability requiring special attention, CIE Tours reserves the right to cancel your booking or terminate your vacation if your special needs or disabilities are not suitable for the vacation, pose a threat to the health and safety of other participants or CIE Tours staff, are incompatible with other travelers, or if you are not traveling with a companion who provides all the assistance you require. CIE Tours reserves the right not to refund or cover any costs or expenses incurred for cancellation, booking, or termination of the vacation. CIE Tours is not responsible for denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or other independent suppliers, nor any additional expenses incurred. Due to space restrictions, passengers wishing to take wheelchairs, oxygen tanks or other assistive devices must send a request in writing for approval prior to booking.
