TRANSPORTATION, DRIVERS and ESCORTS
The most important feature of a tour is your safety and comfort, therefore we partner with McCarter Coach and Tour exclusively for our motor coach transportation. These deluxe new coaches are restroom equipped, air conditioned, with DVD players and CD players. McCarter removes one full row of seats on most coaches for your seating comfort. We rely on them for professional, qualified drivers. Your escort is a Breakaway employee traveling on the coach to carry out the fine details. They are there to help handle emergencies and to answer your questions as well as to facilitate an enjoyable experience. Gratuities for your driver and escort are customary, however, not included in the cost of the tour and given at your discretion. One dollar per person per day is suggested.

TOUR COMPONENTS
Breakaway Tours acts as an agent selecting appropriate hotel accommodations, attractions, and meal stops. Each package is priced per person as Single (one per room), Double (two per room), Triple (three per room) or Quad (four per room.) On rare occasions there will be a child’s price listed along with age requirements. The cost of your overnight tour includes baggage handling for one piece of luggage per person, to weigh less than fifty pounds. A small carry on is also permitted but must fit in the overhead or under your feet, so as to not obstruct the aisle of the coach. No baggage without a Breakaway luggage tag will be stored under the coach without the express permission of the Breakaway escort. Oxygen to be carried on board the coach is subject to strict regulations and the Breakaway office must be notified as well as your driver and escort.

BREAKAWAY TOURS RESPONSIBILITY
We seldom have need to change our published tours, however, we reserve the right to do so should circumstances, such as, but not limited to weather, dictate such change. Any changes due to an emergency of any kind incurring additional expense shall be born by the passenger. The right is also reserved by Breakaway Tours to cancel any tour prior to departure if it is not up to capacity, in which case all payments will be refunded. The right is also reserved to accept or decline any passenger as a member of any tour at any time. Breakaway Tours acts only as an agent for passengers and therefore accepts no responsibility, in whole or part, for delays, loss, damage, injury to property or person due to mechanical defects or other cause, or for additional expenses incurred through sickness, weather, strikes, wars, quarantine, or other causes. Any person or group leader booking reservations for more than one passenger is required to inform the other person of Breakaway tours booking and cancellation policies as well as pertinent information concerning the tour. Breakaway Tour is not responsible for incorrect information given out by a second party. Office hours are 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. daily. It is the customer responsibility to call for a departure time a week prior in the event that no information has been received either in writing or in the form of a phone call.

TOUR PROTECTION
This covers the amount you have paid, less your premium until the day of your departure. The cost is $7.00 per person per day of touring and will cover you in the event of unexpected illness or death in the immediate family.

SMOKING/NON-SMOKING POLICY
All public tours are non-smoking and it is a federal law that smoking on public transportation is prohibited. Frequent stops are made to accommodate smokers. If you have a smoking preference and it is available at your tour hotel, let us know at the time of booking.

REQUIRED IDENTIFICATION
For the calendar year 2007, a passport is not required for motor travelers into Canada. A Birth Certificate and Government Photo Identification are required. For cruise passengers, most itineraries do not yet require a passport, but your cruise will indicate what is required. For tours leaving the United States for countries other than Canada, a passport is required and if you are not a US citizen, a Visa may be required. Your country of origin will have information on your requirements. Breakaway Tours is not responsible for a passenger with improper identification.
