Is your event mobility-friendly?
Absolutely! At Royal Splendor Travel, we believe that unforgettable journeys should be accessible and enjoyable for everyone. We proudly welcome guests who may need mobility support. Our tours comfortably accommodate canes, walkers, and foldable travel scooters (weighing up to 60 lbs), which can be safely stored in the motorcoach’s luggage compartment. Guests or their companions must be able to load and unload these devices independently.

While our RST team and drivers are always happy to lend a friendly hand when they can, travelers should be prepared to manage their equipment throughout the trip.

Able to Travel Requirement
To ensure a safe, smooth, and enjoyable experience for all, travelers should be physically and emotionally capable of traveling independently or be accompanied by someone who can provide the necessary assistance. This includes boarding the motorcoach, handling moderate walking, and participating in daily tour activities as outlined in the itinerary.

How many people can stay in a room?
Each hotel room comfortably accommodates up to two guests.

Are Accessible Rooms Available Upon Request?
Yes, accessible (handicapped) rooms are available upon request. Please note that these rooms typically feature one King or Queen bed, as space limitations often prevent the inclusion of two beds.  If you require an accessible room, we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. Early requests are encouraged, as availability may be limited. 

I need a roommate. Can you help me find one?
Yes, absolutely! If you travel solo but would like to share a room, we can help match you with a potential roommate.

I want to register now, but I'm still waiting to hear back from my friends, who will be my roommates.  Should I wait?
There's no need to wait—go ahead and register! We strongly recommend reserving your spot early, as space is limited, and tours often fill quickly.  To confirm a roommate, please let us know in the registration form. Once your friend signs up, we'll note your preference and update your room assignment. Reserving early ensures you won’t miss out, and we’ll work with you to finalize all the details!

I have food restrictions and allergies. Will you be able to accommodate my needs?  
Yes, we’ll do our very best! Please list any food allergies, dietary restrictions, or special meal needs on your registration form. We will work closely with the hotel chef and dining staff to coordinate accommodations whenever possible. While we cannot guarantee that every request can be fulfilled, your comfort and well-being are important to us, and we’ll make every reasonable effort to support your needs.

Having snacks and water on hand is a great way to stay energized and refreshed throughout the day, especially during longer excursions.  Consider packing easy, travel-friendly items like granola bars, trail mix, fruit snacks, and a water bottle to keep you hydrated.

How do I change my credit card on file?
