required to notify Travel Advisor prior to reserving travel.
We will review with you the inerary and physical requirements of the vacaon to
ensure we can work with your disabilies. If it is decided that the tour/vacation
works for you and addional services are needed, you must be accompanied by an
individual responsible for providing those services.
Tour managers, guides, drivers or other tour, hotel, ship personnel are not
able to provide such assistance. In order to parcipate in escorted tours,
passengers must be able to understand and follow instructions given by the
Tour Director at all mes, both for the successful operation of the tour as
well as for everyone's safety.
The travel inerary is subject to change prior to or during the vacation
for various reasons outside of Travel Advisor's control. If this occurs,
the vacation may not be best suited for you. You agree and hold Travel
Advisor harmless if this occurs and you are unable to fully parcipate
in the tours/vacation .
No refunds, paral or otherwise, will be provided in the case of an unscheduled
itinerary change. Travel Advisor reserves the right to reject parcipation or
remove any individual from a tour/vacation if notification of any disabilies
was not previously provided and/or when, in our sole judgment, continued
parcipation would significantly hinder the services to be provided to all guests.
Expenses, including cancellation fees and/or costs for alternate travel plans or to return
home, will be the sole responsibility of the passenger. Escorted tours are fast-paced,
oen requiring lengthy walks over uneven terrain. Some activities may have weight limits
. In the interests of group harmony, clients should be able to maintain the pace of the
tour. Clients with special needs may be beer served independently. Travel Advisor can
suggest touring options based upon specific requirements.

to the extent possible and consistent with the specific tour itinerary. Nevertheless,
you may find that a certain tour features may not be accessible to the extent that
a wheelchair, scooter, or other special equipment to parcipate are required.
We cannot provide individual assistance to travelers with wheelchairs or other
mobility devices. We regret that some itineraries cannot accommodate wheelchairs or
motorized scooters. Travel Advisor will endeavor to accommodate special access needs,
but does not guarantee that it will be able to do so in all cases.
International Travel:
Hotels, sea and river cruises outside of the United States are not required to comply with
ADA requirements and therefore may not have ramps, wide entryways or elevators to accommodate
disabled passengers or devices such as wheelchairs, walkers or motorized scooters.
Due to physical constraints and space limitations, wheelchairs, walkers and motorized
scooters may not be taken aboard motor coaches and river cruises. Travel Advisor will
endeavor to accommodate special access needs, but does not guarantee that it will be
able to do so in all cases.
