Insurance
​
TOLY tours strongly recommends the purchase of Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance, plus out-of country emergency medical coverage.
​
Itinerary
Every effort is made to deliver the itinerary of a given tour as outlined on the website and within the published literature, however due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to weather, construction, passenger illness, mechanical breakdown, civil unrest, union strikes etc.) Toly tours reserves the right to alter the itinerary by substituting where possible alternate venues and/or sightseeing locales so as to make the best possible accommodation under the circumstances. Certain activities may not be precisely as described or may not be available due to seasonality or weather conditions. We will try to notify you of changes. During local or national holidays, certain facilities such as museums, sightseeing trips and shopping may be limited or unavailable. In such instances itinerary changes are made by TOLY tours seeking to reduce inconvenience to guests. Such changes are deemed not to be a major change to the itinerary, and no compensation will be payable to guests.. All tour itineraries are subject to change or cancellation without prior notice.
Hotels
​
Prices are per person, based on two persons sharing a room with private bath or shower. Single rooms and triple rooms maybe be available on select tours, in limited quantities. A single room will require the add-on fee of a single supplement. Triple rooms will come at a small discount. Triple rooms will often feature one double bed plus a fold-away bed or similar. Three persons may find these arrangements small, with restricted space for baggage and the like. Hotel room sizes, standards, facilities and services provided may vary from country to country and region to region and are often local in style.
Hotel Frequent Traveller program points are not earned with hotels on TOLY tours. Many hotels are 100 % smoke-free, including all guest rooms, restaurants, lounges, meeting rooms and public spaces. Smoking in a non-smoking room will result in a fine. We employ a seating rotation program whereby all clients are shuffled through the coach to new seats daily, thereby ensuring everyone has an opportunity to be seated in different areas of the coach and also providing for different neighbours across the aisle. Requests to be seated in a fixed or preferred location will respectfully be declined.
​
Tips / gratuities
​
Tips and gratuities are included in your tour package, covering your coach drivers, on-board hosts, local guides, and local specialists. Tips are not included for any non-group activities such as local taxis, meals not included in the itinerary, and the like.
​
Passports, visas and other entry / exit requirements
​
All guests must be in possession of a passport valid for at least 6 months after the conclusion of their trip, along with applicable visas. It is the guest’s sole responsibility to secure and/or pay for any and all visas, affidavits, immunizations, etc. that are required in order to be permitted entry into each destination. Canadians do not currently require a visa to travel to countries within the Schengen Area for stays of up to 90 days in any 180- day period. If you leave the Schengen Area and return within the same 180-day period, the previous stay will count against the permitted 90 days. The Schengen Area includes Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. A tourist visa is also not required for the United Kingdom (for stays of six months or less). More information is available at https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/schengenarea and https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/unitedkingdom. Beginning in late 2022 Canadian travelers to Europe will require an ETIAS Travel Authorization. More information is available at https://www.etias.ca/requirements-forcanadian-citizens/. It is the sole responsibility of each traveler to obtain all necessary documents and papers for countries to be visited. Toly Tours will not accept responsibility for clients who do not have a passport and the appropriate visas. Any interruption in a client’s travel resulting from lack of proper documentation will be at the client’s expense. For up-to-date detailed information on travel documents and visas, entry / exit taxes, and further information on entry and exit requirements please check with local consular services. Obtaining and carrying these documents is your sole responsibility. Entry to any country may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are complete. TOLY Tours will require full passport information (full name, date of birth, passport number, issue and expiry dates) prior to final payment.
Baggage & porterage
​
Due to limited motorcoach capacity, a single bag per person is allowed with dimensions not exceeding 30”×18”×10” (76×46×25 cm) and weight not exceeding 50 lbs. / 23 kg. Carry-on / hand luggage is restricted to one piece per person, not exceeding 12”×11”×6” (30×28×14 cm), to fit under your coach seat or in the small overhead compartment. Carry-ons with telescopic handles and wheels (commonly referred to as an ‘executive bag’) will not fit in the overhead compartments or under seats and therefore cannot be accepted as carryon / hand luggage. The handling of carryon / hand luggage is the responsibility of each guest and must be taken on and off the coach by you each day of the guided vacation. Although the movement of luggage is supervised by the driver and every effort is made to handle luggage as carefully as possible, TOLY tours cannot assume liability for loss, theft or damage due to breakage, fire, water, etc. Guests are responsible for carrying their own luggage Porterage is available at some hotels, and Gratuity for Porters is not included ( 1 euro per bag is recommended)..
