MEALS ON TOUR: As specified in each itinerary.

TRANSFERS: As indicated for each tour, provided by car, minibus, or motor coach, and only on tour arrival and departure dates, provided airfare is purchased from ATI.

PUBLIC HOLIDAYS: 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.

ITINERARY AND HOTEL VARIATIONS: Occasionally, during holidays and certain periods, due to unforeseen circumstances, the local Tour Operator may have to make last-minute changes, sometimes after arrival, in the sequence of the tour and/or hotels. Therefore, we reserve the right to substitute any of the hotels with no cost adjustment.

LUGGAGE: All tour packages allow one piece of luggage per person and one carry-on bag. Excess luggage may be subject to additional charges.

Cancellation of any tour for lack of participation will be advised at least 30 days prior to the tour's departure, and all money will be refunded. Automobile Tours International will not be held responsible for any costs relating to the issuance and/or cancellation of airline tickets or visa fees. On all ATI Tours, a minimum of 10 passengers is required. Voluntary cancellations due to political instability, acts of terrorism, government intervention or US State Department warning will be subject to the above fees, provided the program is deemed (by Automobile Tours International) able to continue. Should ATI elect to cancel a departure for any of these reasons, every effort will be made to obtain refunds from suppliers, however no guarantees can be provided on their behalf.

GROUP HARMONY: To ensure the desired group synergy, Automobile Tours International reserves the right to accept, reject or expel any individual who is deemed disruptive or incompatible with the interests of the group. All expenses to do so will be borne by the passenger.
