A La Carte Tours strongly encourages all tour members to
purchase separate travel insurance
to cover possible additional
costs (emergency airline tickets, loss of luggage, trip delay, medical
evacuation, etc.).

A La Carte Tours Can Be physically demanding: Our tours can be
physically demanding. To enjoy the experience, you should be in good
shape. The most active days may average 1-5 miles of walking (often
over uneven paving stones), lots of standing while listening to your
guide during group sightseeing. Whether you are 20 or 70 get in shape
before you leave home. Smokers may smoke only outdoors and
downwind from the group — never in hotel rooms or during group
meals. Children under age 18 must room with and be accompanied on
the tour by a parent or guardian.

Tour itineraries are subject to change: Tours are full of surprises
and we need to be flexible enough to take advantage of whatever
comes along so that we may provide you with the best possible tour.
Uncompleted portions of the tour itinerary are not cause for refund.

Participation: Although we want everyone to have a good time, it
sometimes happens that someone participating in a tour can
misbehave or do things that are incompatible with the safety, comfort
or convenience of other members of the tour. You agree that in those
circumstances we have the exclusive right and discretion, to expel
someone, or even you, from a tour at any time, without any claims or
complaints by you against us.

Disabilities: Any pre-existing physical, mental, or emotional disability
that may require attention or treatment must be reported in writing
prior to the beginning of a tour. All tour members are required to
complete, sign and return, prior to their tour start date, a Medical
Release and Waiver Agreement. Failure to return a complete and
accurate Medical Release and Waiver Agreement invalidates the
Tour
Cancellation/Interruption Coverage
, and could result in expulsion
from a tour at your own expense.

Tours cancelled by A La Carte Tours: Although unlikely, your tour
may be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. If
A La Carte
Tours
cancels a tour you have reserved, the entire amount you have
paid to
A La Carte Tours for the applicable tour will be refunded to
you after the tours cancellation, as required under Texas State law.
Once this occurs,
A La Carte Tours and its representatives have no
other obligations to tour members on cancelled trips including any
additional costs or fees related to the issuance and/or cancellation of
airline tickets or other travel reservations not made by us.
