Travel Essentials – understanding our terminology, Passports, Visas and trip registration…
Understanding our Terminology
Below are descriptions relating to specific terms used within our brochure itinerary pages: Visit In-depth sightseeing with a Local Specialist or Travel Director, which includes fast-track entry (where applicable). View A brief stop to enjoy the sights and take some photos. See Observe sights while passing by on your coach, cruise or train.
Passports and Visas
Each guest is responsible for ensuring their passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond the conclusion of their trip and that all necessary visas and permits have been acquired. Multiple-entry visas may be required if you are entering a country more than once on your vacation. Each guest must comply with entry, health and other requirements of the countries visited during your trip. Contact your Travel Specialist, airline or relevant government authorities to obtain the necessary travel information. The Operators and/or their employees and their agents are not responsible for passport, visa, entry, health and other requirements of the countries visited, or for any loss sustained by you for failing to comply with laws, regulations, orders and/or requirements of countries visited.
PACKING FOR YOUR TRIP Guests may bring one full-sized suitcase and one carry-on bag per person. Due to limited luggage space, we ask that your full sized bag does not exceed dimensions of 30”x18”x10” and 50lbs. Space for carry-on bags on motorcoaches is much smaller than on aircraft, and bags with wheels, rigid frames, and telescoping handles cannot be accepted as carry-on luggage. Medium sized backpacks, tote bags, small duffels and messenger bags are all good options for your carry on. For packing tips and other useful information, check out our Expert Advice section at GETours.com. My GET: Enhance Your Travel Experience
