Additionally, the tour participant must be accompanied by an individual responsible for providing those services. Tour managers, guides, drivers, or other tour, hotel, ship personnel are not able to provide such assistance.
In order to participate in escorted tours, passengers must be able to understand and follow instructions given by the Tour Director at all times, both for the successful operation of the tour as well as for their personal safety. Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC reserves the right to deny participation or remove any individual from a tour if a notification was not provided and/or when, in our sole judgment, continued participation would significantly hinder the services to be provided to all guests.
Expenses, including cancellation fees and/or costs for alternate travel plans or to return home, will be the sole responsibility of the passenger. Escorted tours are fast-paced, often requiring long walks over uneven terrain. In the interests of group harmony, clients should be able to maintain the pace of the tour. Clients with special needs may be better served independently. Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC can suggest touring options based upon specific requirements.
WHEELCHAIRS & WALKERS:
USA Tours: Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA), Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC seeks to accommodate disabled travelers to the extent possible and consistent with the specific tour itinerary.

We cannot provide individual assistance to travelers with wheelchairs or other mobility devices. We regret that some itineraries cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters.
Passengers are required to advise Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC of accessibility requirements prior to booking in order for Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC to determine if reasonable accommodations are available. Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC will endeavor to accommodate special access needs but does not guarantee that it will be able to do so in all cases.
INTERNATIONAL TOURS:
Hotels, sea, and river cruises outside of the United States are not required to comply with ADA requirements and therefore may not have ramps, wide entryways, or elevators to accommodate disabled passengers or devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and motorized scooters. Due to physical constraints and space limitations, wheelchairs, walkers, and motorized scooters may not be taken aboard motor coaches and river cruises.
Service Animals: Service animals cannot be accommodated on international escorted tours. Passengers on USA escorted tours who require a service dog because of a disability should check with Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC prior to booking a tour.

Airlines reserve the right to demand immediate issuance of tickets whenever they determine that specific flights are heavily booked even when normal ticketing rules do not require tickets to be issued until a later date. In this instance, Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC will require immediate and full payment of the airfare. This situation overrides invoice terms and conditions and payment due dates.
If full payment is not received, seats will be canceled by the airline and may not be available to be rebooked on the same flights or at the same airfare. Any replacement air arrangements and airfare will be the sole responsibility of the passenger.

AIRLINE FREQUENT FLYER PROGRAMS:
Passengers are responsible to contact their airline directly regarding mileage eligibility and accrual. Airline frequent flier programs determine whether to award miles in part or total based on their own rules, which are updated frequently. Some discounted or promotional airfares, as well as some code-share flights, are not eligible for mileage accrual. Some private airfares, such as a “Worldphototeller™ Travel Travel Airfare,” are not eligible for mileage or may qualify for reduced mileage, even if the same airline class of service is eligible for full mileage when sold as an “Instant Purchase” published airfare. Not all published airfares are eligible for mileage.
Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC will record frequent flier numbers when provided by the passenger prior to travel documents being issued. However, the addition of frequent flier numbers to airline records does not guarantee mileage eligibility, which is at the sole discretion of each airline. Airline schedule changes may result in flights that were originally eligible for mileage accrual no longer being eligible. We highly recommend passengers to provide their frequent flier account information whenever checking in online and/or at the airport check-in desk. After travel has commenced, it is often not possible to apply for frequent mileage credit. Passengers are also responsible to determine whether previously earned mileage may be applied to flights to secure upgrades.

To avoid potential increases, you may choose to accelerate your final payment in order that your tickets may be issued. Once issued, airline tickets are no longer subject to potential increases but are fully non-refundable. Certain overseas domestic flights are subject to air taxes which can only be paid locally; in these cases, the specific flights and amounts of those taxes are indicated in our package presentation and pre-departure.

In the event of an airline schedule change, Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC will make every effort to inform passengers of schedule change and new flight schedule prior to departure.

Room selection in all cases is strictly at the discretion of the hotel’s management on a run-of-house basis.
Triple and quad occupancy rooms consist of two beds for cruises, where triple and quad rooms will consist of a twin bed for each person. Some single rooms are smaller than a standard room size. The number of persons accommodated does not dictate the room size.
Although available at most 4 and 5-star hotels, the use of air-conditioning abroad differs greatly from the United States. Many European hotels were built before central air-conditioning was introduced. Air-conditioning is often shut down at night and from the end until the start of the summer months.
All hotel rates are based on Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC Travel’s agreements with suppliers and are not negotiable. Hotel check-in time is generally not before 3:00 p.m., and check-out time is prior to noon.

TRANSFERS:
Transfers are provided as indicated for each tour by car, minibus, or motor coach provided airfare is purchased from Travel LLC. If you purchase a land-only tour, or if you deviate from the arrival and/or departure dates as stated in the itinerary, you will have the responsibility to purchase your own transfer to the hotel.
Your arrival transfer is guaranteed for up to one hour from your scheduled arrival time to compensate for minor delays. Travel LLC or the transfer company will not be responsible for flight delays, for any reason, beyond one hour from your originally scheduled arrival time. In case of a delay, whether due to a flight delay, immigration and customs, or time spent reporting baggage damage or loss, it will be your responsibility to make other transfer arrangements such as a taxi.
Transfer costs are not refundable, and any additional expenses will be your responsibility. The cost of a transfer is more expensive than hiring a taxi, as a Worldphototeller™ Travel transfer necessarily includes round trip service, or ‘dead-leg,’ meaning that our driver must come to the airport, hotel, or pier only to pick you up and necessarily loses a one-way fare. Often the places of call (airports, seaports, hotels) demand entrance and parking fees, where drivers may have to wait for up to an hour.
Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC transfer drivers, while not employees of Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC, are reliable. They provide you with a full welcome service, transfer you to the correct location, and are prepared to answer your questions along with your ride. Passengers comfortable hiring a taxi on their own and do not require assistance will do so at their own risk, etc.
SIGHTSEEING & ITINERARY:
Will be operated by motor-vehicle, its size dictated by the number of participants. Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC have been designed to accommodate individuals as well as groups. Times listed in itineraries are approximate and meant only as guidelines. Some itineraries may have early morning start times for sightseeing in order to complete the touring during daylight hours or avoid afternoon heat in tropical and desert climates.
It is your responsibility to arrive on time for all scheduled flights, cruises, and package components. Arriving late may be considered a “no-show”, in which case you will not be eligible for a refund for the unused service(s). We cannot guarantee the number of passengers who will be on any given tour. You may find that you are traveling with a sizeable group or only with your own companions. Services, however, will remain constant no matter the number of tour participants.
Persons requiring any assistance or who have any form of disability should refer to the section “Travelers With Disabilities”.
On dates including, but not limited to religious holidays and national celebrations, some monuments and sites may be closed. On these occasions, touring itineraries may be amended to reflect these closures.
Occasionally, during holidays and certain periods, and/or due to unforeseen circumstances including weather conditions, there may be last-minute changes, sometimes after arrival, affecting the sequence of the tour, locations visited, and/or hotels. Therefore, we reserve the right to adjust the sequence and/or substitute any hotels with others of a similar category. In such cases, there will be no cost adjustment.
National monuments and tourist sites regularly undergo renovations, which can obscure the monument’s view. No tour will be canceled due to renovations; however, Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC will decide based on the conditions whether to amend an itinerary.
Worldphototeller™ Travel LLC itineraries contain suggestions for activities for your leisure time; these suggestions do not constitute an endorsement of any specific service provider, and the decision to participate in any such activities should be made independently and with due consideration.
