twin beds and a private bathroom with shower and tub, and a 24 hour
desk. Rooms may be smaller than American style hotels. Rooms may vary
slightly in decor, size, and other amenities and all room assignments
are made by the hotel, in other words, we have no control over who gets

Travel is always risky and this trip is non-refundable. If you are concerned, you may want to consider purchasing travel insurance. Although we cannot recommend any particular insurer, you can compare policies and costs at InsureMyTrip. If you decide to buy, be sure to read all the fine print and to fully understand the coverage.

DISCLAIMER
Time of Your Life Tours LLC acts only as agents for the traveler with respect to transportation and hotels and exercises every possible care. However, we can assume no liability for injury, damage, delay, loss, accident, or irregularity in connection with the services of any train, bus, boat or other conveyance used in carrying out the arrangements of the tour. We cannot accept responsibility for losses or additional expenses due to delay or change or other circumstances, including but not limited to sickness, weather, strikes, war or terrorist acts, quarantine, acts of God, or any other causes beyond our control. All such losses and expenses will have to be borne by the traveler as the tour rates provide for arrangements only for the time stated.
Because travel is full of surprises including strikes and unexpected restaurant, museum, or other closings, we reserve the right to make alterations to any published itinerary. Any such changes would not be cause for a refund nor would they constitute grounds for fraud. (Of course, in the event of such an unexpected occurrence we will make every effort to find a reasonable substitute.)
Although no change in the price of the tours is expected, Time of Your Life Tours LLC reserves the right to add a surcharge to cover dramatic unexpected currency fluctuations or other sudden price increases.
We also reserve the right to amend typographical errors and misprints in pricing and other tour information.
We reserve the right to cancel any tour prior to departure, in which case the entire payment (including deposit) will be refunded without any further obligation on our part.
We also reserve the right to decline to accept or to retain any person as a member of a tour, or to require that person to withdraw from the tour at their own expense, when such an action is determined by us to be in the best interest of the participant's health and safety and that of the group in general.
No refund will be made for any unused portion of the tour.
Time of Your Life Tours LLC does not accept liability for any airline carrier's cancellation penalty or change fee incurred by the purchase of a non-refundable ticket connected with your journey.
