Each tour in our brochure includes the features outlined on this page. In the event of a rare exception, it will be detailed at the beginning of the tour description.

Accommodations. Superior Tourist Class and First Class hotels are carefully selected for comfort, cleanliness, and character. Listings of hotels can be found with each tour. We select hotels offering a good value while at the same time providing genuine hospitality with quality accommodations. These tours feature a balance of modern city hotels and family-run village hotels with European charm. All rooms have a private bathroom with sink, toilet, and shower or bathtub. Prices are based on two persons sharing a room. For single supplements, consult the "Dates & Prices Guide" insert included with the brochure.

Breakfast Daily. Breakfasts are usually served buffet style at your hotel, with a selection of rolls, butter, jam, cheese, cold cuts, coffee, tea, milk and juice. On occasion, the buffets may also include cereal, sweet rolls, fruit, yogurt, and/or eggs. A few breakfasts may be served continental at your table rather than as a buffet.

Dinners. The included dinners, whether "special highlight" or standard meals, follow a fixed menu. We work with the hotels to try to provide you a variety of meals throughout the tour. The number of included dinners is noted on the introductory page of each tour description.

Tour Manager. An experienced representative will accompany the tour for the full European duration.

Land Transportation. A deluxe, air-conditioned motor coach will provide transportation throughout Europe in accordance with the itinerary.

Airport Transfers. For passengers who purchase the complete air and land tour from Image Tours, transfers are provided on Day 2 from the airport to the hotel and on the last day of the escorted tour from the hotel to the airport. If Image Tours provides land only, transfers are not included, but land-only passengers may join the group transfer at no additional cost if their flights allow them to do so at the times stated in the final documents (also see TRANSFERS). Pre- or post-tour extensions do not include transfers.

Baggage Handling. Baggage handling is provided for one suitcase, maximum 62 linear inches and 50 lbs/23 kg in weight, during the entire trip, except at airports (see BAGGAGE). Although highly unlikely, there may be a rare occasion on which individual baggage handling is required at a hotel. You must carry your own hand luggage throughout the tour.

Tips. The tour price includes tips for all aspects of the tour that are pre-arranged by Image Tours, such as hotel staff, restaurant staff, and other services. The tips for the tour manager and the motor coach driver are not included as they use this tip to help monitor their performance. For tipping guidlines, see 'TIPPING'.

Confirmation & Pre-departure Materials. Approximately one month after receiving your completed, signed Reservation Application and deposit, we send out a Confirmation Packet, consisting of reservation verification, a tentative flight schedule, travel insurance information, and our highly informative Touroclopedia^® preparation booklet. Approximately 7 days before departure, passengers receive the Trip Documents Packet. This contains clear and concise departure and arrival instructions, final flight schedule and air ticket, 'Overnight Schedule' with the names, addresses, telephone and fax numbers of hotels, foreign currency information, luggage tags, and name tag.
