HELPFUL TOUR INFORMATION . . .

POLICIES UPDATED JUNE 1, 2023

PRUDENT TOURS is a small family-owned tour service that has won its reputation on service and quality. It began operating in 1964. The Emprise Bank, Hillsboro, KS, is its reference.

TOUR PRICE INCLUDES Connections at convenient places; a professional Tour Director; deluxe motorcoach and driver; local guides; all lodging; luggage handling; all sightseeing and attractions listed in bold print. Unless otherwise stated, tour price listed is based on two people sharing a room.

WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED Incidental hotel charges such as telephone calls, room service, meals unless specified, pre and post night lodging, and gratuities for the tour director and driver.

SINGLES, TRIPLES, QUADS Prices stated in the tour description are per person based on two people sharing the same hotel room. The single price applies if only one person is in a room. The single room does not guarantee a double seat on the motorcoach. If you are willing to share a room you may let us know. If someone else signs up for the same tour and wishes to share a room we will give each of you contact information and let you touch base with each other to determine if that will be a good arrangement for both of you. If you agree to share a room you would travel at the double rate listed in the catalog. Persons who prefer to stay three or four to a room may do so with a discount of $10 per person per night given for triples or quads (this assumes existing bedding) unless otherwise stated in the tour description.

ENJOYABLE MEALS Meals are not included in the tour price unless noted in bold print in the tour itinerary. Many of the hotels in which we stay offer a complimentary breakfast. While traveling we make every effort to stop at restaurants which offer good food at reasonable prices. On average, one can figure about $25-$35 per day for food depending on your eating habits.

Neither Prudent Tours personnel, nor its suppliers, may lift or physically assist travelers. Special requests must be made at the time of tour reservation.

CLOTHING Travel light and pack casual clothes. Remember you are on vacation. Wash and wear fabrics travel best. Layered clothing makes for easy adjustment to weather changes. It is a good idea to have a sweater or a jacket to wear on board the motorcoach. Comfortable walking shoes are a must. If you need special clothing, we will give you special instructions.

DOCUMENTATION U.S. citizens traveling outside the United States (including Canada) are required to show proof of citizenship with a valid passport. A passport is valid for 10 years. When flying, a government-issued REAL ID compliant license with a photo or valid passport is required.

INSPIRATION Each traveling day begins with a brief devotional thought for the day and prayer. Many tours travel on Sunday and a brief united worship service is conducted while driving.

WEATHER CONDITIONS can play a large role in some of our tours. It can affect driving conditions or cause delays and even cancellations to outdoor activities. Prudent Tours and our motorcoach company will do everything we can to ensure that all schedules are met without compromising the safety of our passengers. Since none of us can control the weather we share in the financial responsibility if weather keeps us from some of our planned activities or if we are forced to add to the length of the tour. Some parts of tours may be prepaid and may be non-refundable. In the event of cancellations, Prudent Tours will make every effort to collect refunds and will return to its passengers all refunded money. Prudent Tours is not responsible for activities that are cancelled due to weather conditions and are nonrefundable and will invoice passengers if the tour is extended and additional hotel nights are required.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER - Receipt of your deposit acknowledges that you accept the risks involved in travel, and accept responsibility for your own travel decisions. Risks may include but are not limited to COVID, health related issues, weather, strikes, criminal acts and terrorism. Prudent Tours monitors conditions related to our destinations. Conditions may require Prudent Tours to change itineraries or even cancel trips. Prudent Tours reserves the right to modify the cost or the schedule of the tour if necessary. You accept all responsibility and expenses associated with any injury, illness, disability or death. You release, discharge, covenant not to sue, and hold harmless Prudent Travel and Tours, its owners, staff, suppliers and fellow travelers from any claims, actions, damages or expenses associated with the risks associated with travel.

At Prudent Tours we strive to price all our departures accurately and fairly. Fuel prices continue to fluctuate. We accept these fluctuations without passing them along to you, our valued customer, whenever we can. Whereas it has never been our policy to “nickel and dime” our valued clients, please know that we must have a policy of passing on some of these increases and shortfalls, should they occur. Any adjustment in tour prices would occur on our final billing letter for that tour. In instances where the increases are minimal, we will continue to absorb them as a cost of doing business. Your understanding of this issue is a matter of honesty and trust. We felt it important to mention here.

Share the memories for a lifetime!
