AIR TRANSPORTATION
Pilgrim tours will arrange for the best-priced airfare available at the time of booking. Passengers wishing to cancel or change their air reservation may be subject to cancellation penalties. Airfares quoted by Pilgrim are promotional fares and cannot be combined with other promotional offers. Airlines involved in tours are not responsible for any act, omission or event during the time passengers are not on board their planes or conveyances. Pilgrim Tours is not responsible for unforeseen flight delays or schedule changes imposed by the airlines. Air schedules may be subject to change at the discretion of the airline.

AIRLINE SECURITY
It is the passengers responsibility to provide positive identification in the form of a passport or other required identification at the time of airport check-in.

TOUR MEMBERSHIP
Tour membership is available to all travelers and will not be withheld if the tour operator can furnish the requirements that an individual may need.  Because most of our Retail Tour sightseeing schedules require Tour Members to walk at a moderate pace, we cannot accept persons who need assistance.  Should meeting these requirements materially add to the tour operator's cost, the Tour Member would be expected to pay these additional costs. The Tour Director retains the right to require non-mobile persons to stay behind when deemed necessary, and also terminate the membership of any member displaying disruptive behavior, endangering fellow members and/or interfering with the operations of the tour. Private group tours vary in regards to mobility standards.

RESPONSIBILITIES
These tour programs are operated by Pilgrim Tours and Travel, Inc., 3821 Main Street, Morgantown, Pennsylvania 19543. In common with other companies, Pilgrim acts only as an agent for tour members in arranging room accommodations, transportation, sightseeing, admissions and restaurants. Pilgrim reserves the right in its sole discretion to make changes in the itinerary and is not responsible for expenses, loss of time, money or other incidents resulting from a change of tour scheduling made for tour members. Pilgrim is not responsible for any losses or damages of personal property, injuries or unforeseen expenses incurred by any tour member.

INSURANCE
Pilgrim Tours strongly suggests purchasing Trip Cancellation insurance. Be sure to check with your healthcare provider as most US medical coverage will not cover your outside of the country.   Insurance costs are based on the total tour cost, including air taxes and charges listed under "Not Included."  These charges are added to the final billing.  Approximate amounts can be given at time of reservation in order to purchase the appropriate amount of insurance.
