INSIGHT VACATIONS PTY LTD is the ‘Sales Company’; Destination America Inc is the ‘Operator’; collectively these companies are referred to as ‘Insight’ or ‘Luxury Gold’ and these terms can be used interchangeably.

Your agreement is with Insight and a contract is formed when you make a reservation with us that we accept. Enrolment in and payment for a guided holiday shall constitute acceptance by the guest of the terms and conditions in this brochure. These cannot be varied except in writing by an officer of the Company.

The invalidity of any provisions herein shall not affect the validity of any other provisions. The agreement shall be construed as though the invalid provision was not contained herein and was replaced with an enforceable provision as similar as possible to the original provision.

Disclaimer: Travel is personal and each individual’s goals and experiences may differ. Luxury Gold will not be bound by, or liable for, any description, photograph, representation or warranty made by or provided by any independent third party sales representative, Travel Agent, or other person or entity relating to any holiday offered by Luxury Gold.

Departure Date: The departure date is the date indicated on the booking confirmation.

Security: Security is a major concern to all of us and the situation globally is constantly changing.

Events around the world, coupled with the “Travel Advisories” put out by various governments, may at times necessitate changes to the accommodation and itinerary or even trip cancellation.

You must accept these risks involved in travel to any country that may experience security difficulties and accept responsibility for your own travel decisions.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE GUIDED HOLIDAY PRICE VIP Door to Door :The private, VIP door-to-door transfer service is available for all guests travelling in a party of three or fewer, from one address within a 50km radius of major Australian international airports: Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth & Sydney.

For any journeys greater than 50km a surcharge will apply. Mileage is strictly based on journey information calculated by in putting start and end addresses into Google Maps www.google. com.au/maps.

Air Transportation: Not included unless otherwise outlined in each itinerary page Journey Planner.

Guided Holiday: By private motorcoach, trains, cruises, intra-trip flights and ferries (see itineraries).

Rail travel is standard class unless otherwise stated. Luxury Gold’s motorcoaches feature air conditioning, reclining seats, on board washroom and are configured with 40 or 41 seats for just 40 guests. However, the following exceptions apply: - Due to regulations on Driver’s hours, replacement coaches are required once per week on certain itineraries and these replacement coaches may have in excess of 40 seats.

- Please note on some regional holidays, smaller motorcoaches without toilet facilities are used.

- Transfer coaches, sightseeing motorcoaches or, in the event of a mechanical breakdown, relief coaches, may feature up to 53 seats without a washroom.

If due to circumstances beyond our control motorcoaches are used otherwise than as advertised, a refund of $10 per person will be made.

Toilets may be affected by higher altitude or extreme weather conditions such as freezing temperatures and for the comfort of those on board the motorcoach the toilets may have to be closed. In these circumstances, additional rest breaks will be incorporated into the itinerary.

Hotel Accommodation: Prices are per person, based on two persons sharing with private bath or shower. Triple rooms may be available and will often feature two twin beds. Three adults may find these rooms small and are generally more suitable for two adults and one child.

Every effort has been made to reserve two-bed rooms; however, on some occasions, rooms with one twin bed may be the only choice available. These rooms will be allocated to couples first; other rooms may feature a single bed and rollaway bed, murphy bed or sleeper sofa. Special room requests (adjacent, connecting or lower-floor rooms, as examples) must be made at time of booking. Special room requests are not guaranteed and are based on availability at time of checkin. Many hotels are 100% smoke-free, including all guest rooms, restaurants, lounges, meeting rooms and public spaces. Smoking in a non-smoking room may result in a fine.

Substitute hotels may be used sometimes. We try to use hotels of similar standard. Hotel Frequent Traveller program points are not earned with hotels on Luxury Gold holidays.

Note hotel room sizes, standards, facilities and services provided may vary from country to country and region to region and are often local in style.

Cruise Accommodation: Per person prices are based on two persons sharing a cabin with two lower beds and a private bathroom. Verandah categories on both ships are “two lower beds convertible to one queen-size bed. A limited number of single cabins are available at an extra cost. Availability can be confirmed with your local sales agent or online reservation agent.

Free WiFi Internet Service: Complimentary WiFi service is available in many Luxury Gold hotel guestrooms and/or the public areas of most hotels. In most countries complimentary WiFi is also provided on-board the motorcoaches except in Alaska and remote locations. The WiFi on the coaches uses the mobile phone network and as a result the connection will be slower than standard broadband and at times may not be available. Audio and Video streaming is not available using coach WiFi. Please note that it is not available on train trips or when the main Luxury Gold motorcoach is not being used, such as on transfer and other local services. For further information on which countries WiFi is offered in as well as daily data allowances please refer to the website www.luxurygold.com/au/already-booked/complimentary-wifi Travelling Concierge: Trips are conducted in English by a professional Travelling Concierge. In the unlikely event that there are ten guests or less, Luxury Gold reserves the right to operate the departure on an individual basis, with private transfers and individual arrangements. Pre- or posttrip options operate on a locally hosted basis, using English-speaking scheduled services. While cruising you will enjoy the services of a Cruise Manager.

Meals: Meals and sightseeing are included as detailed on itineraries.

• Guests need to arrive in the hotel by 18:00 in order to participate in any featured Welcome Reception or Welcome Dinner. For some itineraries, the arrival time will be earlier. Please see individual trip pages for details. No refunds are issued for missed Welcome Receptions and meals due to late arrivals.

Sightseeing: Experiences, entrance fees and an English-speaking Local Expert (when required) are included as detailed in the itinerary pages. Featured sightseeing is integral to our guided holidays, therefore no refund will be given (or value attached) if not used or operated for any reason.

Transfers: Between airports, hotels, railway stations and piers are included as indicated on each itinerary. There will be no refund for missed or unused transfers. If you did not purchase your flights from Luxury Gold, you will need to provide your arrival and departure flight information to Luxury Gold at the time of booking. It is your responsibility to update Luxury Gold with any changes to your flight schedule to ensure that you receive your transfers. Failure to do so may result in missing these services and no refund shall be due for missed arrival transfers resulting from missing or outdated flight information.

Porterage: Luggage handling of one suitcase per person, at each guided holiday hotel and porter service at airports for intra-air inclusive guided holidays, is included in the price.

20

Motorcoach Luggage Allowances: Due to limited coach capacity, a single bag is allowed with dimensions not exceeding 30”x18”x10” (76x46x25cm) and weight not exceeding 50 lbs./23kg.

Carry-on/hand luggage is restricted to one piece per person, not exceeding 12”x11”x6” (30x28x14 cm) to fit under your coach seat or in the small overhead compartment. Stricter luggage restrictions may apply on overnight stays. Carry-ons with telescopic handles and wheels will not fit in the overhead compartments or under seats and therefore, cannot be accepted as carry-on luggage.

Carry-on/hand luggage handling is the responsibility of each guest and must be taken on and off the coach by you each day of the guided holiday.

A charge of US$6/CA$6 or local currency equivalent per travelling day will be collected by the Travelling Concierge if a second piece of luggage is permitted to be carried, or if suitcase exceeds weight or size limits. This is not assurance that luggage in excess of limits on size, weight and number of pieces will be permitted on the coach.

Your regular health insurance benefits may not apply abroad.

- In purchasing your holiday, you attest that you are physically fit for it. If you have concerns please request additional details about your journey from your Travel Agent or Luxury Gold.

- Some guided holidays include rough terrain, extensive walking over cobblestone streets, uneven pavement, steps and/or locations which may not be easily accessible by wheelchair. During the guided holiday, Luxury Gold may make arrangements with carriers, hotels and other independent suppliers to provide travel services. These parties are independent entities which Luxury Gold does not control. Luxury Gold cannot guarantee disability access or accommodation for guests travelling on international guided holidays.

Many Locally Available Experiences are operated by independent third party suppliers, not Luxury Gold. These are not part of the holiday package provided by us. Your contract will be with the operator of the experience. We are not responsible for providing the experience, or anything that happens during the experience. Some experiences involve outdoor activities and/or can be physically demanding and may require signature of a waiver. You must make your own decisions about experiences and participate only in activities that suit your physical ability: we suggest that you speak with your medical provider if you have questions about your abilities. We recommend you check whether any insurance you have also includes your participation in adventure activities you may undertake.

Luxury Gold may, in its sole discretion, decline booking any guest or remove any guest who cannot comply or refuses to comply with Luxury Gold’s terms and conditions. If this occurs, you are responsible for the cost of travel back to your hometown and Luxury Gold shall not be liable for your losses and no refund shall be provided.

Behaviour: We are here to provide the best services possible but in doing so we will not tolerate abusive or aggressive behaviour from our guests. We will refuse to deal with and may terminate the holiday of guests who assault our Company Representatives or who are abusive or aggressive.

When you make a booking, you accept responsibility for the proper conduct of all members of your party during your stay. We reserve the right at any time to terminate the travel arrangements and/ or cease to deal with any party member(s) whose behaviour, in the reasonable opinion of us or our suppliers, may cause danger, upset, disruption or distress to anyone else or damage to property.

Full cancellation charges will apply and no refund will be made. We shall have no obligation to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses (including but not limited to alternative accommodation and return transportation arrangements) guest may incur as a result of the travel arrangements being terminated.

If you damage the accommodation in which you are staying or any property, you must reimburse the accommodation provider or property owner concerned for the cost of the damage before the end of your stay if the cost has been established by then or as soon as it has been established if later. You must indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (also including legal costs) made against us. Criminal proceedings may be instigated. Luxury Gold is not responsible for any costs incurred concerning a guest removed from a guided holiday or aircraft, ship or train. Guests agree not to hold Luxury Gold or any of its related entities liable for any actions taken under these terms and conditions.

Young Traveller Discount: Young Traveller discounts may be available to travellers, where accompanied by an adult and sharing a twin, or triple, where available. This is dependent upon destination and age on day of departure. Please confirm availability with your local Travel Agent.

Usually, only one Young Traveller discount is available per room, The Young Traveller discount may

not be applicable on certain itineraries or regions and applies to the land only portion of a trip.

Some discounts cannot be combined and should be confirmed with your local Travel Agent.

Itinerary Variations: Luxury Gold strives to improve guided holiday itineraries, services and features.

If improvements can be made, or if circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. At certain peak periods multiple departures may operate, sometimes in reverse order; hotels may vary from those stated on the itinerary pages. On guided holidays which include cruises, the ship may be changed for operational reasons. Departures in early and late season are potentially operated in cool weather conditions. As a result, itinerary variations may occur. Certain activities may not be precisely as described or may not be available due to seasonality or weather conditions. We will try to notify you or your Travel Agent of changes. If your enjoyment may be diminished by such limitations, please check with us or your Travel Agent before making a reservation.

Relaxed Starts: The ‘Relaxed Start’ means the day’s activities will normally begin after 09:00am. We reserve the right to vary operational start times, in order to fulfil itinerary requirements.

Holidays & Changes: During local or national holidays, certain facilities such as museums, sightseeing trips and shopping may be limited or unavailable. In such instances itinerary changes are made by Luxury Gold seeking to reduce inconvenience to guests. Such changes are deemed not to be a major change to the itinerary, and no compensation will be payable to guests. Holidays, closing days and other circumstances may necessitate a change of the day of the week for scheduled regional meals, sightseeing or other activities. If you feel your enjoyment might be diminished by any of these circumstances please check with the respective national tourist office before selecting a specific departure date.

Extended stays: If you arranged with us to remain at a destination before or after your guided holiday, your stay will be at your sole expense. Transfers are provided, on the condition that this is to/from one of our Luxury Gold Hotels. Where people have booked their own hotel, which is not one of Luxury Gold’s, the requests can be made for alternate arrangements (e.g. transfers to train stations, to/from hotels that are not used by Luxury Gold), however making a request does not guarantee the request will be confirmed. These requests will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and will vary depending on region and itinerary. Please see individual Journey Planner boxes for pre- and post-guided holiday accommodation. Space is limited and if available is for up to three nights before and/or after each guided holiday. Breakfast is included unless otherwise stated.

Luggage handling is not included unless otherwise stated.

For your comfort: Luxury Gold operates a daily seat rotation system and enforces a strict no smoking (including e-cigarettes) and no alcohol policy on board coaches. Regular comfort stops are made on travelling days. Many hotels, restaurants, trains, cruises and other venues are 100% smoke free.

Guided Holiday Cancellation: Luxury Gold reserves the right to cancel or re-schedule any guided holiday departure in any circumstances, including in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control. If cancellation is made by Luxury Gold any time prior to departure date of the guided holiday except when you failed to pay the final balance on time, Luxury Gold will either refund the amount received for the guided holiday booking, or offer a comparable holiday if available. Luxury Gold will refund any difference in price if the alternative is of a lower price however, the Guest will be responsible for additional costs if the alternative is priced higher. Luxury Gold is not responsible for other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations and is not liable for any cancellation penalties incurred on other travel arrangements including air tickets.

Cruise Cancellation: The cruise operator has reserved the right to cancel any departure due to insufficient reservations up to eight weeks before the date of departure. Passengers may be offered alternative cruise dates. The cruise operator also reserves the right to cancel any departure up until the date of that departure due to force majeure or other circumstances beyond the control of the operator that prevents the operation of the tour including governmental and administrative decisions. Neither the cruise operator nor its agents are responsible for any costs or penalties relating to air transport or other services that are cancelled. The cruise operator is not liable for failure to provide the services or accommodation offered to the extent that such services of accommodation cannot be provided due to force majeure or other circumstanced beyond its control.

Travel Insurance: Luxury Gold recommends that all guests purchase comprehensive Travel Insurance. Certain countries have a requirement for foreign visitors to have valid medical insurance on entry. Luxury Gold cannot be held responsible for denied entry if a guest is unable to provide details to authorities of insurance or denial of entry for any reason.
