travel insurance through independent companies. Please contact our office before purchasing travel insurance to make sure the trip is going as scheduled.

WHAT ABOUT TIPPING? Tipping of drivers, tour directors and any local guides is not included in the price of the tour. Customary and appreciated gratuities to the tour directors and drivers are discretionary and therefore, should be extended on a voluntary, individual basis and not in the form of a group collection.

The suggested tipping amount per passenger is $3 per person per day.

WILL I HAVE AN ASSIGNED SEAT ON THE COACH? Seating aboard our motorcoaches is assigned based upon the order we receive reservations. Guests travelling in odd numbers may be assigned to sit with other guests. Guests travelling single will likely be seated next to another guest.

Rotation of seats is at the discretion of the Tour Director. We ask that requests for special seating, due to physical conditions be made at the time of reservation. A physician’s statement may be required in certain cases. Cyr Northstar Tours reserves the right to adjust seating arrangements.

WHAT TIME IS CHECK-IN? Hotel check-in times are usually 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. If we arrive early, the hotel will try to accommodate, however, it is not guaranteed that your room will be available before 3 p.m.

WHAT IS THE 5% OFF PROGRAM**? Book and pay for any

tour 60 days or more prior to that tour’s final payment date and receive 5% off your per person tour cost. ** Not valid on any Collette Vacations tours. A tour is not considered “booked” until payment has been received (example: full payment for Day Trips & deposit for Overnights).

EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION: Emergency

contact and medical information forms are sent with final documentation. Each guest is asked to bring the completed

form on the day of departure to give to the Tour Director. Please do not mail back to the office.

HOW MUCH WALKING WILL I DO? Our itineraries include many

activities and may consist of moderate to heavy walking at times. Some of the sightseeing included in our tours can mean accessing locations that limit or restrict motorcoaches, especially in historic districts where the streets are narrow and were designed before motorcoaches were. For your comfort, we recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes. If you have questions regarding specific tours, please call.

DOES CYR NORTHSTAR TOURS HAVE A FRAGRANCE FREE POLICY? Yes. Due to the fact that many passengers and employees have respiratory sensitivities or allergies we ask that you refrain from wearing any fragrances, aftershaves, scented locations, etc. when travelling with Cyr Northstar Tours.

IS SMOKING ALLOWED ON THE MOTORCOACH? For the

comfort and safety of all our passengers, the use of alcohol and tobacco products is prohibited on our coaches. Rest stops are made frequently so those who smoke will have the opportunity to smoke outside of the bus.

tours. A driver’s license or equivalent should be carried for positive ID any time you travel.

required for all tours that are traveling outside of the United States including Canada. Canada can deny admissions to persons with criminal convictions or OUI violations. Cyr Northstar Tours cannot be held responsible for passengers who fail to provide the required documentation.
