Notes
Space is limited and your desired travel dates may not be available if you wait, so book early to avoid disappointment. We highly recommend 2nd and 3rd choices for travel dates and/or accommodations.
Responsibility:
These trips are arranged by BMIT LLC d.b.a.Brian Moore International Tours (“operator”). It has made the travel arrangements as agent for the trans¬portation carriers and other suppliers of services connected with the tour, all of which are independent contractors. Operator in no way owns or operates the vehicles or facilities to be used dur¬ing the trip, and does not guarantee or assume responsibility for the acts and/or omissions of suppliers, their employees, agents, etc. All bookings are accepted subject to the conditions imposed by suppliers & operator, including airline, cruise line, rail, coach, hotel, restaurants, insurance and other companies, firms or persons concerned with the trip, and operator will make no refund in the event of their delay, cancellation, overbooking, strike, force majeure or for elements of the package not used by customer. If there is a difference between operator Conditions and those published by a supplier, the conditions of supplier shall apply. Price quoted is per person double occupancy. Operator reserves the right to cancel a trip, change the itinerary or adjust rates whenever in its sole judgment conditions warrant, or if operator deems it necessary for your comfort, convenience or safety. Trips outside the USA require a valid passport or other acceptable forms of citizenship proof. You are responsible for, and release operator from passport, visa, vaccination requirements, and safety conditions in travel destinations. Operator strongly recommends you purchase appropriate cancellation/medical/ baggage insurance for the trip, which is available from operator.
Operator reserves the right to decline to accept any person as a member of the tour, or to require any participant to withdraw from the trip at any time who presents a significant risk to the health or safety of himself or others which can not be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level by operator’s reasonable accommodation. Operator reserves the right to correct an error in the brochure presentation
or advertised price prior to your departure. A contract is made when your reservation and payment are accepted by operator at it’s office, and any dispute shall be governed by Massachusetts law and subject to the jurisdiction of Suffolk County, Massachusetts. In calculating the cost of your trip, the operator has relied on your consent to these terms and in the absence of this release, the trips cost would have been higher. Operator reserves the right to substitute hotels of similar quality at any time or to make changes in itinerary to a similar quality.
Operator will not be responsible to any person for expense, loss of time, money or other circumstances resulting from a change in itinerary or change of tour arrangements. Operator also reserves the right to cancel a tour prior to departure, and in such cases all payments made to date will be refunded and shall constitute full settlement. If you purchase an airline ticket separately, it is your responsibility to ensure you understand the conditions under which the ticket is issued as operator assumes no responsibility for such airline ticket cancellation fees. Please understand that not all museums and attractions are open every day of the year. Operator reserves the right to vary the sequence of sightseeing and/or to reroute the order of cities if that will enable you to visit all listed Excursions. In either case, the itinerary content will be maintained to the extent possible and there are no refunds for any unused or unavailable excursions.
