Included meals are clearly noted in the touring description. Air transportation is available upon request, at additional cost, for United States and Canada Tours.

For travelers purchasing their own air, airport transfers are included provided their flight arrival and departure times meet the time frames suggested in the brochure.

What is Not Included on the Tours: The land price of your tour does not include airfare to the tour departure point; excess luggage charges; items of a personal nature; meals not included on the itinerary; sightseeing attractions listed as “optional excur­ sions” and gratuities to the full time Tour Manager, motorcoach driver, all airport skycaps, van or limo drivers and local guides.

Airline Security Measures: The Transportation Security Admin­ istration requires that travelers provide their name exactly to their airline as it appears on the passport or a government issued I.D.(such as a drivers license) to be used while traveling, along with their date of birth and gender when making reservations to fly within the U.S. When making your flight reservations through Mayflower Cruises & Tours, you will be asked for this information by our staff. Due to airline security measures, your photo I.D. or passport must match your airline ticket name and your tour reservation name or you may be denied aircraft boarding.

Passport & Visas for Canada and Mexico: Each U.S. citizen must have a valid passport for entry into Canada or Mexico. No other documents will be accepted. Expiry date of passports should be at least six months after the return date of tour. If you don’t have a passport, call our office and we’ll tell you how to apply for one. Holders of non-U.S. passports should contact their nearest consulate and inquire about the necessary passport or visa documentation required for entry into the countries visited.

Travelers Protection Plan

Our Travelers Protection Plan consists of a Cancellation Fee Waiver combined with Travel Insurance Benefits.

Part A - Cancellation Fee Waiver (CFW) Should you have to cancel your tour or interrupt your tour en route, we have added a non-refundable Travelers Protection Plan (TPP) in our deposit schedule. If you do not wish to purchase this protection, simply deduct the amount from your deposit. This non-refundable fee waives all cancellation fees and penalties, provided we are notified of the cancellation one day before your tour departs. While on tour, if a passenger must leave early due to a personal illness, illness or death of a member of the immediate family, the purchase of the Travelers Protection Plan (TPP) guarantees full refund for any unused services (including purchased optional excursions) after the departure of the tour. Handling of return air transportation is included if your airline tickets were provided by Mayflower Cruises & Tours. *Exception: If you purchased non-refundable airline tickets from Mayflower Tours, the TPP does not provide a refund for the airline tickets in the event of a cancellation or a return transportation benefit if you must return home early. You will only be charged the TPP premium for the land tour instead of the premium for land tour with air.

Mayflower Cruises & Tours is a proud member of Tourism Cares, a non- profit foundation that preserves historical sites and supports education that helps the future of travel and tourism.
