Complimentary Fares

U.S. Tours offers one free with every 16 paid fares. On cruises the 3rd and 4th people in a room do not count toward your 16. On motorcoach tours they do.

Please note, we are happy to change this1-16 ratio, as you wish. If you want 1-10 or 1-40, we can make those adjustments, it simply affects the price.

Motorcoach Tour Cancellation Policy

We hope to minimize penalties on customer cancellations. Should one of your members cancel and you replace them from your waiting list there will never be a penalty from us. Note however, that airlines and cruise ships often charge for name changes. Unless specifically stated otherwise, on any tour that does not require Airline, Amtrak or Cruise Ship reservation’s U.S. Tours Cancellation Policy is:

1. Loss of deposit with less than 30 days notice.

Air & Cruise Tour Penalties

Will vary from trip to trip depending on each airline and cruise ship’s policies. We offer a separate Insurance Policy that provides coverage against penalties as well as additional benefits. Please, ask us for a copy.

International Border Crossings

On any tour leaving the United States, it is the responsibility of each passenger to have in their possession proper documents. It is the responsibility of the group leader to advise all passengers. Currently, to enter Canada, Mexico, most Caribbean Ports, Bermuda and the Bahamas, native-born U.S. Citizens must show:

1. A valid U.S. Passport, or
2. A Government Issued Birth Certificate (hospital issued Birth Certificates are not acceptable) with photo I.D. Cards.

Additionally, for airline & cruise security it is necessary to reserve every ticket with each passenger’s actual legal name, no nicknames. On all flights, even domestic flights, every passenger must show a government issued photo ID with spelling exactly as it is on the ticket.

U.S. Tours cannot be held responsible, and cannot delay a tour if any passenger is denied border crossing, or boarding onto a cruise ship or airplane. We recommend everyone obtain a Passport. Regulations regarding border crossings and identification are changing. Please suggest to your travelers that this is a good time to get a Passport.

Delivery of Documents

1) Motorcoach Packages:

U.S. Tours Operations Books are not completed until 10-15 days before your departure, as stated on your Tour Confirmation. We can provide you with passenger itineraries at 30 days prior, once your Room List and Final Payment has been received. If you must have more information earlier than this we can provide you with a tentative Operations Schedule - but this will not be finalized until the entire Operations Book is finalized.

Passenger Itineraries contain hotel names & phone numbers, as well a daily sequential list of events. They do not include times - we do not provide individual passengers with times. .

2) Cruise & Resort Packages:

We forward Cruise Line & Resort Package documents upon receipt. Usually 21-30 days prior to departure.

In common with other tour companies, U.S. Tours acts only in the capacity of an agent between tour members, travel service companies and other suppliers in all matters relating to arrangements for tour components.

U.S. Tours, because of its status as an agent, and because it maintains no control over the personnel, equipment or operations of these travel service suppliers, assumes no responsibility for and cannot be held liable for any personal injury, property damages, or other loss, accident, delay, inconvenience or irregularity, from whatever cause, including the negligent act of third parties during a trip. In addition we make no specific guarantee that the description of services and facilities provided by and of the various vendors involved in package travel are accurate

Further, U.S. Tours reserves the right to change or cancel tour itineraries, and any tour components or services, whenever U.S. Tours in its sole discretion deems such change to be necessary. All air fares, cruise fares, and rates for other transportation and tour services are based on fares in effect at the time of printing and are subject to carrier tariff changes, and supplier surcharges.
