BROCHURE ACCURACY

The information given in this brochure is as accurate as we can make it. Our Brochure descriptions are of amenities normally available. However circumstances can change due to any events beyond our control. Major roads works may necessitate route changes. Indian restaurants may close or change the management. All of these may cause us to make changes in the itineraries. Where we may know of these sufficiently in advance we will notify you, otherwise our Tour Managers or local representative will inform you of the changes of the spot. Please note that the brochure is produced a few months in advance. There are also very big Fairs and Exhibitions lasting up to 2 weeks. Where all the hotels are fully booked several years ahead. Every effort is made to avoid such dates, but in the few instances where it is unavoidable, it may be necessary to stay in hotels in other cities. (This would be advised at the time of booking)

MEALS

There are pre-set Menus provided for breakfast on the tour, the type of the breakfast is clearly indicated in the brochure/site. Unlike an airline, we cannot process for a special meal, nor can we guarantee a special diet for customers. We, however reserve right to change the meal arrangement if circumstances make it necessary to do so.

HOTELS

You will be out sightseeing most of the time and hence we have taken care to select hotels, which are comfortable whilst keeping cost down. The list of hotels selected for each place are set out in this brochure. Most of the rooms have a private bath or shower. In Europe, we take extra care to select locations for our tours and hence, they may be confirmed either in the city center or away from the city center. Hotels do not have any air conditioners or fans due to favorable weather conditions. In Europe, since the rooms are comparatively small, we will recommend only 3 people in one room for your own comfort. Triple rooms are usually no larger than twin rooms and the third bed is often a roll away cot put in a twin bedded room for the night.

ITINERARY CHANGES

COACH / SITTING

We use air-conditioned / air cool luxury coaches. We have found it fair to operate daily seat rotation on board our coach, so no seat numbers are allocated.

For tours to Europe the average traveling hours is approximate 8 hours a day. The coaches are equipped with an emergency washroom, however this facility is not to be used in lieu of the frequent comfort stops. If you are carrying any high value items on the coach we advise you not to leave them behind when you leave the coach.

And we will not be responsible or liable in case of theft or robbery of the said items from the coach. All baggage and personal effects are at all times and in all circumstances your responsibility.
