F) 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. Most of the rooms have a private bath or shower. Hotels may not have any air conditioners or fans due to favourable weather conditions. In Europe, since the rooms are comparatively small, we would 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 rollaway cot put in a twin bedded room for the night.

G) ACCOMMODATION FOR CHILD BELOW 12 YEARS OF AGE
It is expressed and given to understand that a child below 12 years of age who is booked on the holiday paying the special rate without a bed will not be provided with a bed in the hotel while on the holiday under any circumstances. In case the holiday participant makes any changes in their rooming while on the holiday, the organization shall not make any refunds or pay any compensation to them. In case the holiday participant decides to make any change in the rooming while on the holiday subject to availability, then they shall be bound to pay additional amount charged to them by the concerned hotel directly to the hotel.

H) CURRENCY AND TRAVELLERS CHEQUES
We suggest you take your holiday spending money partly in currency, partly in travellers cheques. Travellers cheques are by far the safest way to carry money as they are easily encashed for a small service fee and can be replaced, if they are stolen or lost, provided you have the lost travellers cheque numbers and the counterfoil.

I) ITINERARY CHANGES
For the comfort and convenience of our passengers we will sometimes reverse the direction, or slightly amend the itinerary. We will try to advise you of these amendments, prior to the start of the holiday or on holiday. In the event that the holiday participant misses a part of the sightseeing tour or any such tour due to delay on his/her part then he/she will not be entitled to claim refund of the same.

J) SAFE DEPOSIT LOCKERS
Safe deposit lockers are available in most hotels. You are advised to keep your valuables in the safe deposit lockers, at the time of check in and not in your hotel rooms.

K) TIPPING
Tipping is customary in all parts of the world for services rendered (e.g. porters, coach drivers etc.) Our host on the spot will be pleased to advise you of the same
