Travel Terms and Conditions

Valid as of January 1, 2024

By making a payment to Travel Visions LLC or by participating in a Travel Visions LLC tour (trip) you agree to the below Travel Terms and Conditions (T&C). It is important that you, the traveler (Member), read the T&C document in its entirety. The lead traveler assumes the responsibility of sharing the information with each traveler for whom they make a booking. Travel Visions LLC is not responsible for anyone’s unawareness of the T&C due to failure to read the below details. If you have any questions about our T&C you should contact us before booking.

Reservation and Payment

30% of the trip cost to secure your reservation
70% of the trip cost 90 days prior to the tour start
100% of the trip cost within 7 days of booking if the reservation is made less than 90 days before the start of the tour

Registration is completed when Travel Visions LLC receives the signed booking form along with the initial deposit of 30% of the total trip cost per person. 

Full payment is due 90 days prior to the tour start. You must make all payments on time and in accordance with the instructions that we provide. If we do not receive the full payment on time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled by you in which case the cancellation charges apply.

 Reservations are non-transferrable.

 

Cancellation Policy

You have the right to cancel your reservation with Travel Visions LLC at any time prior to the start of the tour.  However, regardless of reason, cancellations result in costly expenses. Therefore, a cancellation results in a penalty fee that increases the closer the cancellation is to the tour start date. The cancellation fee schedule is as follows:

120 days or more:   Full refund minus US $ 300 administration fee
119 – 90 days:          70%refund
89 - 60 days:           50% refund
59 - 0 days:             No refund

All cancellations must be received in writing via email and are effective upon receipt in our office. There will be no refund for any unused portions of a tour once the tour has commenced.

 

Travel Insurance

Cancelling your trip can be very costly, as we have to adhere to the cancellation fee schedule above. It is strongly recommended that you purchase an insurance policy that provides you with travel protection, trip interruption, trip cancellation, trip delay as well as comprehensive medical and evacuation coverage. Such insurance protects you from penalties if you cancel for a covered reason.

 

Included services

Prices are per person based on single or double occupancy and include: all accommodations and land transportation as detailed in each itinerary from the starting point of the tour to the drop off location at the end of the tour; basic internet where available (service levels are not guaranteed); sightseeing and admissions as outlined in the itinerary; services of local guides, speakers and host. Meals and beverages are included as specified in each itinerary.  All appropriate gratuities throughout the trip. 

Not included services

Travel Visions LLC prices do not include travel insurance or your airfare and related taxes to the departure point and from the ending point of your trip.

On request and as a service, Travel Visions LLC will make hotel reservations before your tour on a space available basis.  These hotel charges will be added to your trip cost.  Personal expenses such as phone calls, bar beverages, laundry, airline excess luggage charges and other optional incidental extras are not included.  This list is illustrative and not a complete list of every item not included.

 

Travel Documents Requirements

US citizens require a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your return flight date for travel to Italy. There is no Visa necessary for US citizens.

Non-US citizens should contact their appropriate consulate for information on all necessary documents. It is your sole responsibility to secure and pay for any requirements to be permitted entry into Italy. Your failure to have proper documents could result in you not being able to enter Italy. No refund will be available and Travel Visions LLC has no liability in such case.

 

Special Dietary Requests

The restaurants and hotels will do their best to accommodate your special dietary requests. However, some of our partners are better able than others to do so. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requirements can be met at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be provided, choices might be limited.

Mobility on Tour

Throughout Italy’s century old towns and cities you will encounter uneven cobble stone roads, steep inclines and many buildings without elevators. In order to fully enjoy our itineraries you must be able to walk a reasonable distance and be able to walk up a staircase. Therefore, we regret that our itineraries are not suited for wheelchairs, motorized scooters or oxygen tanks.

 

Member Health and Safety

You participate in all activities of the trip at your own risk.  Extensive walking, touring in general, use of various transportation and recreational vehicles, and other physical activity may involve greater risk of injury or death than the activities which you may participate in during your daily life.  By taking part in such activities, you incur and assume all of the risks that such activities present.  As Travel Visions LLC is not qualified to evaluate your fitness, you or your doctor must evaluate your fitness for any given tour or activity.  Travel Visions LLC assumes no liability or responsibility for any Damages which may result from your participation in any activity during the trip.

 

Itinerary Changes and Flexibility

Travel Visions LLC pledges to make every effort to operate all trips as advertised. Travelers should be flexible as situations may arise that necessitate changes or exceptions to the itinerary.

Although every effort is made to handle your luggage carefully, we cannot be responsible for delayed, lost or damaged luggage and personal effects due to breakage, theft, or fair wear and tear through hotel, airline and ground transportation handling. It is important to have adequate insurance to cover these eventualities.
