Breakfast Daily. Breakfasts are usually served buffet style at your hotel, with a selection of rolls, butter, jam, cheese, cold cuts, coffee, tea, milk, and juice. On occasion, the buffets may also include cereal, pastries, fruit, yogurt, and/or eggs. A few breakfasts may be served continental at your table rather than as a buffet.
Six (6) Dinners. The included dinners, whether ‘special highlight’ or standard meals, follow a fixed menu. We work closely with the restaurants to provide a variety of dishes throughout the tour. The included dinners are noted in the itinerary description, at the end of each day.
Tour Manager. An experienced representative will accompany the tour for the full European duration.
Airport Transfers. One scheduled group airport transfer is hosted by the tour manager on Day 2 to the first tour hotel, and on the final day of the tour from the last tour hotel. Transfer times in each direction are set based on the scheduled flight times of passengers who have purchased the complete ‘Tour & Air’ inclusive package from Image Tours. Pre- and Post-tour extensions do not include transfers.
Land Transportation. A deluxe, air-conditioned motor coach will provide transportation throughout Europe in accordance with the itinerary.
Baggage Handling. Baggage handling is provided for one suitcase, maximum 62 linear inches and 50 lbs/23 kg in weight, during the entire trip, except at airports. Although highly unlikely, there may be a rare occasion on which individual baggage handling is required at a hotel.
Tips. The tour price includes tips for all aspects of the tour that are pre-arranged by Image Tours, such as hotel staff, restaurant staff, and other services. The tips for the tour manager and the motor coach driver are not included. This allows you to express your level of appreciation for their performance and for their contribution to your overall enjoyment of the tour. For tipping guidelines, see the ‘FAQ‘.
Confirmation Packet. Approximately one month after receiving your completed, signed Reservation Application and deposit, you receive a Confirmation Packet, consisting of reservation verification, travel insurance information, and our highly informative Touroclopedia® preparation booklet.
