vacation MOMENTS
like no other
Family vacations filled with activities AND
enchanting experiences, designed to engage
your family across all ages and bring the
destination to life.
Exciting Discoveries
Feel the history of the
American Civil War on
the Gettysburg battlefield
or gaze at the stars and
planets at the Sacred
Valley observatory in Peru.
Our Family Experiences
vacations get you excited
about learning – no matter
what age you are.
Exhilarating
Experiences
Fun and adventure are a big
part of each trip. You might
find yourself flying along zip
lines high above the Costa
Rican jungle or whistling
through the Grand Canyon
on a Wild West steam train.
Kids’ Cooking
Classes
There’s no better way to
learn about local foods than
getting hands-on in the
kitchen. In Rome, an expert
chef will show your children
what it takes to create
perfect Italian pizza.

Our Sustainable Approach
#TrafalgarCARES
#TrafalgarCares supports and gives back to the
communities we visit, working with local businesses,
collaborating alongside charitable organizations and
ensuring we take our groups where they can make
a difference.
TreadRight - The Heritage Initiative
A new program that works to preserve the cultural diversity
of the people and places you’ll visit. For example in Perugia,
Italy, you’ll discover how your participation helps preserve
ancient hand-weaving traditions. Discover this Insider
Experience on our Italy Bellissimo vacation.
Discover more about #TrafalgarCares and TreadRight and
follow our progress by visiting
www.trafalgar.com/trafalgarcares
Our charitable giving
THE TREADRIGHT FOUNDATION
Set up as a joint initiative by The
Travel Corporation’s family of
brands, TreadRight is a not-for-profit
organization dedicated to supporting the
communities we visit, helping preserve
their vibrancy and traditions for future
generations. As a member of The Travel
Corporation, we’re also proud to be an
active founder and supporter of The
TreadRight Foundation.
Supporting local communities
We believe in safeguarding the beauty,
cultures and traditions of the destination
we visit, helping preserve them for
future generations.
Gavin Tollman, Trafalgar CEO
We work hand in hand with the communities we visit by
ensuring we support local businesses. This is good for them
and in turn good for our guests, who get to enjoy these
communities through our Insider Experiences and contribute
to sustainable future travel. From discovering ancient
traditions with a Quecha weaver to visiting environmental
programs, these unique moments enrich your vacation and
support local infrastructure, giving back to the people who
share their culture with you.
Some examples include:
Ban Mae Kampong village, Thailand
You’ll meet the villagers and enjoy lunch with the village
chief, who’ll reveal how your visit helps support ecotourism
and traditional crafts, and generates income for the villagers.
Discover this Insider Experience on our Treasures of
Thailand and Treasures of Thailand with Cambodia trips.
We believe we should work as a force for good within the
travel industry and in the way we impact the world. As a
family-owned company, we’re proud of our teams and the
work they do to support worthy causes.
Some examples of our charitable giving include:
Whether they’re taking part in Movember to aid cancer
research, picking up litter in Yellowstone National Park, or
working with Free The Children to build schools in Kenya
and Ecuador, our global teams work tirelessly to support
charitable initiatives.
TreadRight supports global charitable projects, such as
the industry-wide rebuilding effort following the Nepal
earthquake in April 2015. Led by their partner, Tourism
Cares, TreadRight donated $20,000 USD to aid tourism
rejuvenation in Nepal, and helped rebuild a local school
through additional donations.
Sustainability at our core
To conserve our planet’s rich diversity we ensure everything
we do is sustainable; from how we print our brochures right
the way through to how we travel.
Some examples of this sustainability include:
We promote the benefits of coach travel - proven to reduce
congestion and create less pollution per passenger mile than
any other form of transport. We’ve also introduced recycling
schemes in all our global offices and use recycled paper for
our brochures and on-board magazine.

to grab the summit of Mt. Fuji; it’s a great
spot for sightseeing (weather permitting).
After lunch at a local restaurant, visit the
Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, a naturelover’s paradise, blessed by its superb
scenery and an abundance of natural hot
springs. Find yourself surrounded by some
of the most famous sights that Japan has to
offer. Travel by cable car to visit Owakudani,
the ‘Great Boiling Valley’. Enter the volcanic
zone with its hot springs, steam vents and
bubbling pools. Here you can try black eggs,
cooked in the naturally hot water, which are
said to prolong your life by seven years.
Travel back to Tokyo and transfer to your
hotel for an evening at leisure. (BB, L)

(3 Nights)
This morning enjoy some free time to
explore Tokyo further or relax. Later take a
bullet train to Kyoto and on arrival transfer
to your hotel. (BB) Hotel: Nikko Princess
A Day 6 Kyoto Sightseeing
Start the day with a visit to some of the
UNESCO designated historic monuments
of ancient Kyoto. First, explore Nijo Castle.
Despite being built as a residence and
not for defense purposes, special creaky
floorboards were installed to warn of
anyone approaching and protect the
shogun from enemies. Located halfway
up Otowa Mountain, visit Kiyomizu Temple,
a historic temple that was established in
778. Its beautiful hillside location offers
spectacular views of the city and valley
below. The main hall has a large veranda,
supported by tall pillars that jut out
over the hillside, and was constructed
without a single nail used in the entire
structure. Later, enjoy a special Be My
Guest lunch at a preserved Machiya
townhouse, where children can try
their hand at the traditional art form of
calligraphy with a Local Specialist. After
lunch continue to the Gion area and marvel
at the unique traditional houses with their
unusually narrow facades. In the evening,
why not enjoy an optional performance
showcasing Japanese arts and customs at
Gion Corner. (BB, BG)
Day 7 Kyoto Sightseeing
Begin the day by taking a traditional
wooden Trokko train ride to Arashiyama.
A charming, semi-open train, winding its
way through the mountains at a relaxing
pace. Contemplate the beautiful scenery
as you travel along the Hozugawa River
through the forested ravine. Activate your
inner ninja with a visit to Toei Kyoto Studio
Park, a working movie set that doubles
as a theme park. Children dress up as
samurai and wander around a mock-up
Edo-era samurai town and see exhibitions

Trafalgar Tours West Inc is the ‘Sales Company’;
Trafalgar Tours Limited – Asia, Great Britain and Europe Vacations and
Destination America Inc – North, Central and South America Vacations are
the ‘Operators’; collectively these companies are referred to as ‘Trafalgar’.
Your agreement is with Trafalgar and a contract is formed when you make
a reservation with us that we accept.
The invalidity of any provisions herein shall not affect the validity of any
other provisions. The agreement shall be construed as though the invalid
provision was not contained herein and was replaced with an enforceable
provision as similar as possible to the original provision.
Disclaimer Travel is personal and each individual’s goals and experiences
may differ. Trafalgar will not be bound by, or liable for, any description,
photograph, representation or warranty made by or provided by any
independent third party sales representative, Travel Agent, or other person
or entity relating to any vacation offered by Trafalgar.
Departure Date The departure date is the date indicated on the
Trafalgar confirmation.
Security Security is a major concern to all of us and the situation globally
is constantly changing. Events around the world, coupled with the “Travel
Advisories” put out by various governments, may at times necessitate
changes to the accommodations and itinerary or even trip cancellation.
You must accept these risks involved in travel to any country that may
experience security difficulties and accept responsibility for your own
travel decisions.
What’s included in the guided vacation price
Inter-city Travel By private motorcoach, trains, cruises and ferries
(see itineraries).
Air Transportation Not included unless otherwise outlined in each
itinerary page price panel. Please be advised that due to the Transportation
Security Administration’s (TSA) Secure Flight rules, airlines must collect
required information from guests. For more information regarding TSA’s
Secure Flight rules, please visit www.tsa.gov.
Guided Vacation By air-conditioned luxury motorcoaches. On London
sightseeing, and some Regional vacations, including Japan motorcoaches
without toilet facilities are used. If due to circumstances beyond our control
25%
motorcoaches are used otherwise than as advertised, a refund of $10 per
person will be made.
Toilets may be affected by higher altitude or extreme weather conditions
such as freezing temperatures and for the comfort of those on board the
motorcoach the toilets may have to be closed. In these circumstances
additional rest breaks will be incorporated into the itinerary.
Hotel Accommodations Prices are per person, based on two persons
sharing a double room with private bath or shower. Triple rooms may be
available on selected vacations in limited numbers. Triple rooms will often
feature one foldaway bed plus one double bed. Three adults may find these
rooms small and suitcase space slightly restricted. They are generally more
suitable for two adults and one child. On Family Experiences, triple and
quad rooms are strictly reserved for families traveling with young children
and are not available for three or four adults sharing.
Every effort has been made to reserve two-bed rooms; however, on some
occasions, rooms with one double bed may be the only choice available.
These rooms will be allocated to single travelers and couples first; other
rooms may feature a single bed and rollaway bed, murphy bed or sleeper
sofa. Special room requests (adjacent, connecting or lower-floor rooms,
as examples) must be made at time of booking. Special room requests
are not guaranteed and are based on availability at time of check-in. Many
hotels are 100% smoke-free, including all guest rooms, restaurants,
lounges, meeting rooms and public spaces. Smoking in a non-smoking
room may result in a fine.
Accommodations outside of the USA may not be in compliance with the
American with Disabilities Act and may not have wheelchair accessibility.
Substitute hotels may be used sometimes. We try to use hotels of similar
standard. Hotel Frequent Traveler program points are not earned with
hotels on Trafalgar vacations.
Note hotel room sizes, standards, facilities and services provided may vary
from country to country and region to region and are often local in style.
Cruises Per person prices are based on two persons sharing a cabin with
two berths, private shower and toilet. A limited number of single cabins
are available at an extra cost
Free WiFi Internet Service Complimentary WiFi service is available in
many Trafalgar hotel guestrooms and/or the public areas of most hotels.
In most countries complimentary WiFi is also provided on-board the
motorcoaches. The WiFi on the motorcoaches uses the cellular phone
network and as a result the connection will be slower than standard
broadband and at times may not be available. Audio and Video streaming
is not available using motorcoach WiFi. In some countries this service
will not be available. Please note that it is not available on train trips, or
when the main Trafalgar motorcoach is not being used, such as on transfer
motorcoaches and other local services. For further information on which
countries WiFi is offered in as well as daily data allowances please refer to
the Trafalgar website www.trafalgar.com/wifi.
Travel Director Guided vacations are conducted in English by a
professional Travel Director. In the unlikely event that there are fifteen
guests or less traveling on a departure, Trafalgar reserves the right to operate
this departure on an individual basis with private transfers and individual
arrangements. Please refer to the individual guided vacation. Itinerary
extensions are operated on a locally hosted basis using regular Englishspeaking Local Host services.
Meals Meals are included as detailed on itineraries.
Sightseeing Experiences, entrance fees and an English-speaking Local
Specialist (when required) are included as detailed in the itinerary pages.
Transfers Between airports, hotels, railway stations and piers are included
as indicated on each guided vacation itinerary. There will be no refund for
missed or unused airport transfers. If you did not purchase your flights
from Trafalgar, you will need to provide your arrival and departure flight
information to Trafalgar at the time of booking. It is your responsibility to
update Trafalgar with any changes to your flight schedule to ensure that
you receive your transfers. Failure to do so may result in missing these
services and no refund shall be due for missed arrival transfers resulting
from missing or outdated flight information.
Porterage Baggage handling of one suitcase per person, at each guided
vacation hotel and porter service at airports for intra-air inclusive guided
vacations, is included in the guided vacation price. Due to limited
motorcoach capacity, a single bag is allowed with dimensions not
exceeding 30”x18”x10” (76x46x25cm) and weight not exceeding
50 lbs (23kg). Airlines may impose stricter weight and size limits for
luggage and may also charge fees for checked baggage, including the
first checked bag. Please check with your airline(s) directly for their most
current baggage regulations and related fees. Trafalgar is not responsible
for additional fees imposed by air carriers regarding baggage.
A charge of US$6/CA$6 or local currency equivalent per traveling day
will be collected by the Travel Director if a second piece of baggage is
permitted to be carried, or if suitcase exceeds weight or size limits. This is
not assurance that luggage in excess of limits on size, weight and number
of pieces will be permitted on the motorcoach.
Carry-on/hand luggage is restricted to one piece per person, not
exceeding 12”x11”x6” (30x28x14 cm) to fit under your motorcoach
seat or in the small overhead compartment. Carry-on/hand luggage
handling is the responsibility of each guest and must be taken on and
off the motorcoach by you each day of the guided vacation. Carry-ons
with telescopic handles and wheels will not fit in the overhead
compartments or under seats and, therefore, cannot be accepted
as carry-on luggage.

General Information & Conditions
Guided Vacation Prices Are based on costs, charges, tariffs, rates, prices,
taxes, levies, exchange rates and other considerations as of the production
date of this brochure (see back cover). All are subject to change. For upto-date pricing contact your Travel Agent or visit www.trafalgar.com. No
surcharges regarding cost or currency fluctuations will be made to the
LAND only price once the deposit is received. No refund will be made
on account of reduction of any of the above. If the total guided vacation
price increases by more than 10%, guests will have the option to cancel
the guided vacation within 7 days of notification of the surcharge without

Other Fees and Taxes Taxes and fees are subject to change without
notice and will be confirmed at time of booking. Any additional fees

air-related restrictions apply.
Guided Vacation Participation On all guided vacations children under
5 years of age are not eligible to travel. Children under 18 years of age
must be accompanied by an adult, who will be responsible for their welfare
and supervision. Alcoholic beverages will not be served to guests under
the legal age for alcohol consumption in the country being visited. Minors
under age 18 traveling to certain foreign countries must be accompanied
by both parents or have a notarized letter of consent signed by the
parent(s) not traveling. Trafalgar is not responsible for any losses if you fail
to have appropriate documentation. If the other parent is deceased or the
child has only one legal parent, a notarized statement must be obtained as
proof. Trafalgar seeks to provide a safe, enjoyable and memorable travel
experience for all guests. Trafalgar welcomes guests with special needs or
disabilities. Please note the following:
- Guests must advise Trafalgar, in advance, as early as possible, of any
physical, medical or other special needs that require accommodating.
Trafalgar will make reasonable modifications to its policies, practices and
procedures when necessary, unless doing so will fundamentally alter the
nature of the services provided.
- Guests must ensure they are medically and physically able to travel.
- Trafalgar may impose safety requirements. Trafalgar may exclude an
individual from participating in a guided vacation or an activity if the
individual’s participation poses a direct threat to the health or safety of
others that cannot be eliminated by a reasonable modification of policies,
practices or procedures or by the provision of auxiliary aids and services.
This decision, made solely by Trafalgar, to exclude an individual will be
based on an individualized assessment based on reasonable judgment
that relies on current medical evidence or on the best available objective
evidence to determine the nature, duration and severity of the risk,
the probability that potential injury will occur and whether reasonable
modifications of policies, practices or procedures will mitigate the risk.
No refunds will be given if the decision is made to exclude a guest.
- Trafalgar does not provide personal devices (such as wheelchairs,
hearing aids or prescription eye glasses) or services of a personal nature
(such as eating, toileting or dressing). A traveler who requires services
of a personal nature (eating, toileting or dressing, as examples) should
consider bringing a companion to provide such assistance and must
understand that other travelers, Travel Directors and Trafalgar Staff will
not be available for such purpose.
- Regrettably, motorized scooters are not allowed on guided vacations.
- Trafalgar does not employ medical personnel. Any necessary medical
attention must be sought at a local facility, if available, at the guest’s
expense. Trafalgar is not responsible or liable for losses or costs incurred
due to unavailability of medical services, or medical services obtained
while on vacation, or for the quality of the care or services received.
Medical care in other countries is not always comparable to care that you
may receive in your local area. You are encouraged to purchase medical
insurance that will cover you while on vacation. Your regular health
insurance benefits may not apply abroad.
- In purchasing your vacation, you attest that you are physically fit for it. If
you have concerns please request additional details about your journey
from your Travel Agent or Trafalgar.
- Some guided vacations include rough terrain, extensive walking over
cobblestone streets, uneven pavement, steps and/or locations which
may not be easily accessible or accessible by wheelchair. During the
guided vacation, Trafalgar may make arrangements with carriers, hotels
and other independent suppliers to provide travel services. These
parties are independent entities which Trafalgar does not control.
Accommodations on international guided vacations may differ from
those in the United States. Trafalgar cannot guarantee disability access or
accommodations for guests traveling on international guided vacations.
Many Optional Experiences are operated by independent third party
suppliers, not Trafalgar. These are not part of the vacation package
provided by us. Your contract will be with the operator of the experience.
We are not responsible for providing of the experience, or anything that
happens during the experience. Some experiences involve outdoor
activities and/or can be physically demanding. You must make your
own decisions about experiences and participate only in activities that
suit your physical ability: we suggest that you speak with your medical
provider if you have questions about your abilities. We recommend you
check whether any insurance you have also includes your participation in
adventure activities you may undertake.
Trafalgar may, in its sole discretion, decline booking any guest or remove
any guest who cannot comply or refuses to comply with Trafalgar’s terms
and conditions. If this occurs, you are responsible for the cost of travel back
to your hometown and Trafalgar shall not be liable for your losses and no
refund shall be provided.
Behavior We are here to provide the best services possible but in doing
so we will not tolerate abusive or aggressive behavior from our Guests.
We will refuse to deal with and may terminate the vacation of people who
assault our Company Representatives or who continue to be verbally
abusive or aggressive when asked to behave reasonably.
When you make a booking, you accept responsibility for the proper
conduct of all members of your party during your stay. We reserve the right
at any time to terminate the travel arrangements and/or cease to deal with
any party member(s) whose behavior, in the reasonable opinion of us or
our suppliers, may cause danger, upset, disruption or distress to anyone
else or damage to property. Full cancellation charges will apply and no
refund will be made. We shall have no obligation to pay compensation
or meet any costs or expenses (including but not limited to alternative
accommodations and return transportation arrangements) guest may
incur as a result of the travel arrangements being terminated.
If you damage the accommodations in which you are staying or any
property, you must reimburse the accommodations provider or property
owner concerned for the cost of the damage before the end of your
stay if the cost has been established by then or as soon as it has been
established if later. You must indemnify us for the full amount of any claim
(also including legal costs) made against us. Criminal proceedings may be
instigated. Trafalgar is not responsible for any costs incurred concerning
a guest removed from a guided vacation or aircraft, ship or train. Guests
agree not to hold Trafalgar or any of its related entities liable for any actions
taken under these terms and conditions.
Young Traveler Discount The Young Traveler must be under age 18 (age
under 11 in Asia and Galapagos Cruise) on the vacation departure date to
be eligible for the discount, and must be accompanied by an adult, sharing
a twin room. The Young Traveler must be the specified age at the start of
travel to be eligible for the discount. Only one Young Traveler discount per
room is permitted except on North, Central and South America itineraries
where the limit is two young traveler discounts per room. This discount can
be combined with our Travel With Family and Friends Discount. The Young
Traveler discount may not be applicable on certain itineraries or regions.
Please see ‘Savings’ for details.
Itinerary Variations Trafalgar strives to improve guided vacation
itineraries, services and features. If improvements can be made, or
if circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we
reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. At certain
peak periods multiple departures may operate, sometimes in reverse
order; hotels may vary from those stated on the itinerary pages. On
guided vacations which include cruises, the ship may be changed for
operational reasons. Departures in early and late season are potentially
operated in cool weather conditions. As a result, itinerary variations may
occur. Certain activities may not be precisely as described or may not
be available due to seasonality or weather conditions. We will try to
notify you or your Travel Agent of changes. If your enjoyment may be
diminished by such limitations, please check with us or your Travel Agent
before making a reservation.
Trafalgar’s ‘Be My Guest’ experiences are unique and take place in singular
locations. In the unlikely event that our local hosts are unable to welcome
Trafalgar guests, Trafalgar will attempt to find an alternate experience or a

Holidays & Changes During local or national holidays, certain facilities
such as museums, sightseeing trips and shopping may be limited or
unavailable. In such instances itinerary changes are made by Trafalgar
seeking to reduce inconvenience to guests. Such changes are deemed
not to be a major change to the itinerary, and no compensation will be
payable to guests. Holidays, closing days and other circumstances may
necessitate a change of the day of the week for scheduled highlight
dinners, sightseeing or other activities. If, you feel your enjoyment might be
diminished by any of these circumstances please check with the respective
national tourist office before selecting a specific departure date.

arrangements at your own expense.
