Notes

LUGGAGE: Each passenger traveling on an ATI Tour Directed Motorcoach tour is allowed one piece of checked baggage per person due to space limitations. Additional luggage will be charged at $7.00 per person per day. Due to security reasons,extra baggage can't be left at the first hotel of the tour. Due to the nature of this holiday, bags are handled many times, so a durable and clearly labeled bag is required. ATI will issue you a special ATI luggage tag which should remain on your customer’sbag at all times to help ensure the bag is delivered to, and retrieved from, the hotel room at each destination. ATI does not assume liability for damaged or lost luggage. Passengers must, therefore, ensure that they have luggage that is reasonably sturdy.
ROOMS: rooms only have one or two beds. “Triple”, “quadruple”, “family” room refers to the number of the guests, who will sleep in the beds provided (max. 2). The possibility of adding a rollaway bed – even if requested at the time of reservation – is subject to availability, with a supplement to be paid on site. Likewise, special requests for double or separate beds; adjoining, high-floor, low-floor rooms etc. are always upon request and these services can never be considered as granted.
DISABLED PEOPLE: disabled travellers can take part to the tour as long as they are self-sufficient. This is because means of transport are not equipped with a wheelchair platform; in addiction, due to insurance and security reasons, neither the guide nor the driver are allowed to help passengers getting on board. Disabled passengers must thus travel with an assistant of their own, to provide them all the help they might need during the tour. All bookings are on request.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: before the start of the tour, all the participants must make sure they possess the required documents to enter the destination countries, and that such documents are comprehensive and valid.
