WHY LANDMARK?

Having traveled with other companies before going with Landmark, we had something to compare them to. We were impressed with the well-planned itinerary and how organized everything was. We experienced exemplary service before, during, and after our trip.

- Dale & Peggy

We found Landmark through some trusted friends. Landmark has excellent planners, and we know we are in capable, experienced hands. The fact that we have made so many new friends along the way is fantastic. Seven trips later and we are still coming back for more!

- Bill & Vicki

We've been on 11 domestic and 9 international Landmark Tours and highly commend their planning and attention to details for all sites, lodging, meals, and entertainment involved. Our only problem has been trying to choose which Landmark trips to plan for each year!

- Bud & Kathy

Landmark tour managers are experienced and dedicated to making sure your trip is everything you were expecting and more. You never feel rushed during the photo ops or the stops along the way. But somehow we are always on schedule and organized.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When should I make my reservation?

Once you have decided on a tour, we suggest making your reservation as soon as possible to ensure availability. Many of our tours sell out shortly after they are released to the public.

How are air reservations handled?

We offer a limited number of main cabin seats on our group airfare out of Minneapolis/St. Paul airport. If you are departing from another location, our team is happy to create a custom air schedule for you, or you may choose to meet the group at our destination. Book early for best selection and pricing.

Can I extend my stay before or after the tour?

Yes. Pre and post-tour extensions are available for most tours. Contact us for more information if you are thinking about extending your stay.

Are triple accommodations offered?

Yes. Some hotels offer a rollaway bed at additional cost, although we are unable to guarantee availability in advance, so two travelers may be required to share a queen or double bed. This may not be comfortable for three adults. Contact us for triple pricing for your desired trip.

I’m nervous about traveling solo.

With Landmark Tours, traveling solo doesn’t mean you will be traveling alone. You’ll share your trip with like-minded travelers who are all excited to see and explore, just like you! On a Landmark tour, you can feel safe knowing the details are covered, and you’ll enjoy many experiences that might be difficult to do on your own.

Can you assist in finding me a roommate?

Of course! If you are a single traveler interested in finding a roommate for the trip, we can coordinate pairing you with an additional traveler if one is found. We will never finalize the double reservation until you have had the opportunity to thoroughly discuss the matter with your prospective roommate.

Why do single travelers have to pay more?

If you are traveling by yourself, the costs of hotel accommodations are incurred by one person instead of two. Therefore, single accommodations cost more than “double” and “triple” packages.

What kind of hotels do you book?

We understand the importance of quality accommodations and personally select each hotel with a focus on cleanliness, comfort, and location. We’re proud to list the names and cities of the hotels being used in each tour.

How many beds are in each room?

Double occupancy rooms will have two beds.

What do the hotels serve for breakfast?

Typical breakfasts include a selection of breads, jam, cereal, fruits, coffee, tea, milk, and juice. Most also include eggs, meats, pastries, and yogurt. On occasion, a bagged breakfast or a cooked to order breakfast will be served.

What is typical for an included dinner?

Dinner will vary depending on our location. Most dinners offer a choice of entrée with selections made at the dinner table or selected ahead of time. In order to accommodate a variety of preferences and dietary requirements, or to facilitate a busy schedule, some dinners are served buffet-style.

How is seating arranged on the motorcoach?

Seating is assigned and a rotation system is used. Each day our guests will occupy a different seat. You’ll always be seated next to your traveling partner. In order to provide a fair experience for all passengers, we are unable to accept special seating requests and appreciate your participation.

Is there a restroom on the motorcoach?

Yes, although we plan our tours so that the typical time between restroom stops is not longer than two hours.

What

is

the pace of a tour?

For your convenience, we have assigned Activity Levels to each tour. This is noted on each individual tour page next to the price listing. Please reference our Terms & Conditions for additional details and an explanation of each level.

How much time will I spend on the motorcoach?

Each tour day varies depending on the itinerary and the number of miles that are involved. Morning departures generally range from 8:00am to 9:00am. Hotel arrivals are scheduled anywhere from 3:00pm to 6:00pm.

Will I need to carry my own luggage?

Whenever luggage service is available at a hotel, it will be included. Occasionally, guests will have to wheel luggage in and out of a hotel.

Are airline baggage fees included?

Due to airline group booking constraints, we are unable to prepay baggage fees. This will be the responsibility of each traveler to be paid at check-in. This can be best handled by credit card.

REAL ID Requirement:

Beginning May 7, 2025, you will need a state-issued REAL ID compliant license or identification card, or another acceptable form of ID (such as a U.S. Passport), to fly within the United States. Visit www.tsa.gov for a list of acceptable forms of ID.

Do I need a passport?

For all trips outside of the United States, a U.S. Passport Book will be required to cross the border whether travel is by land, air, or sea. We do not accept passport cards. U.S. Customs suggests that your passport’s expiration date be no sooner than six months after your travel ends. Passport cards are not acceptable for international air travel.

May I bring a wheelchair, walker, or other walking assistance device?

Foldable wheelchairs and walkers are welcome on tour. They are not permitted onboard the motorcoach and will be stored in the baggage compartment underneath. If you intend to bring a wheelchair or walker, please notify us prior to departure. Landmark Tours personnel and its suppliers are unable to lift or physically assist guests. If you require assistance, we require that you be accompanied by someone who is capable of and totally responsible for providing the assistance.

Guests with Special Needs: You must advise Landmark Tours at the time your booking is made of any disability requiring special attention.

Be aware that the Americans with Disabilities Act is applicable only within the United States and that accommodations for disabled travelers outside of the United States may be more limited. Additionally, some hotels may not have accessible rooms with two beds.

Tour Pace: Walking is required in addition to consistently exiting and boarding the motorcoach. Furthermore, some attractions will require additional walking as there can be limited bus access. If concerned, it is the Tour Guest’s responsibility to consult a physician to see if the tour is suitable. Please read the below general guidelines:

1) Landmark Tours packages are best suited for travelers who are able to comfortably walk 1/2 mile in approximately 15 minutes.

2) If you are unable to keep pace with the other travelers in your group the Tour Manager may request that you stay near the motorcoach and forgo sightseeing that entails additional walking. If you are separated from the group during this time, it is the individual responsibility of the traveler to arrive at the pre-designated departure point at the agreed time. If third party transportation is required (i.e. a taxi), it will be at the traveler’s personal expense.

3) There will be occasions when staying on the motorcoach during sightseeing stops is not allowed. At this time, all passengers must exit the motorcoach to allow the driver to lock the doors and take a break.

4) The group’s overall enjoyment is the primary responsibility of the Tour Manager. If you are consistently unable to keep up with the pace of your fellow travelers it can impede your safety or the other travelers’ enjoyment of the tour. The Tour Manager may request that you leave the tour. The resulting costs will be the personal responsibility of the traveler.
