Included Features
Accommodations
Superior Tourist Class and First Class hotels are carefully selected for
comfort, cleanliness, and character. Listings of hotels can be found
with each tour. Image Tours, Inc. selects hotels offering a good value
while at the same time providing genuine hospitality with quality
accommodations. These tours feature a balance of modern city hotels and
family-run village hotels with European charm. All rooms have a private
bathroom with sink, toilet, and shower or bathtub. Prices are based on
two persons sharing a room. For single supplements, consult the "Dates &
Prices Guide" insert.
Breakfast Daily
Breakfasts are usually served buffet style at your hotel, with a
selection of rolls, butter, jam, cheese, cold cuts, coffee, tea, milk
and juice. On occasion, the buffets may also include cereal, sweet
rolls, fruit, yogurt, and/or eggs. A few breakfasts may be served
continental at your table rather than as a buffet.
Dinners
The included dinners, whether "special highlight" or standard
meals, follow a fixed menu. We work with the hotels to try to provide
you a variety of meals throughout the tour. The number of included
dinners is noted on the introductory page of each tour description.
Tour Manager
An experienced representative will accompany the tour for the full
European duration.
Land Transportation
A deluxe, air-conditioned motor coach will provide transportation
throughout Europe in accordance with the itinerary.
Airport Transfers
For passengers who purchase the complete air and land tour from Image
Tours, transfers are provided on Day 2 from the airport to the hotel and
on the last day of the escorted tour from the hotel to the airport. If
Image Tours provides land only, transfers are not included, but
land-only passengers may join the group transfer at no additional cost
if their flights allow them to do so at the times stated in the final
documents. Pre- or post-tour extensions do not include transfers.
Baggage Handling
Porterage is provided for one suitcase (maximum 30" x 22" x 10" and 50
lbs/23 kg in weight) during the entire trip, except at airports. Although highly
unlikely, there may be a rare occasion on which individual baggage
handling is required at a hotel. You must carry your own hand luggage
throughout the tour.
Taxes & Service
Charges
The tour price includes taxes and service charges for all aspects of the
tour that are pre-arranged by Image Tours. Any additional tipping to
hotel staff and tour personnel as an expression of special appreciation
is strictly a personal matter and must never be considered mandatory,
either by tour participants or by tour personnel.
Confirmation &
Pre-departure Materials
Upon receiving your completed, signed Reservation Application and
deposit, we send out a Confirmation Packet, consisting of reservation
verification, a tentative flight schedule, travel insurance information,
and our highly informative Touroclopediaź. Approximately 7 days before
departure, passengers receive the Trip Documents Packet. This contains
clear and concise departure and arrival instructions, final flight
schedule and air ticket, Overnight Schedule with the names, addresses,
