Consequences of Late Payment: Should there remain any unpaid balance as of the Final Payment Due date indicated on your invoice, a late fee will be imposed on your account the day following your scheduled final payment date. The amount of the late fee is contingent on the specific tour and will be detailed in the tour's description.

Reactivation of Canceled Reservations: In instances where a reservation has been canceled, a reinstatement request submitted within 14 days will incur a reactivation fee of $50 for domestic tours and $200 for international tours. This fee must be paid upfront to facilitate the reinstatement and reconfirmation of travel services.

Booking Deadline and Last-Minute Reservations: Reservations should be completed no less than 30 days before the departure date. Should the requested services be unavailable, a full refund will be issued. If services are confirmed, full payment will be required within 24 hours, and standard cancellation penalties will then apply.

BOOKING CONDITIONS

 

The tour manager for this trip is Cynthia Lolli owner and operator of LOLLI  TRAVEL LLC. THIS CONTRACT IS COVERED BY THE LAW GOVERNING THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, USA.   

 

These Booking Conditions are subject to change at any time with or without notice. Your agreement to these Booking Conditions constitutes your agreement to any updates which can be found at www.lollitravel.com .

 

Pricing

Pricing per individual is based on double occupancy in a twin room unless explicitly stated otherwise. Not included in the listed prices are personal expenses such as dry cleaning, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, meals (except where provided at all-inclusive resorts or specifically noted), fees for passports and visas, insurance, and taxes on foreign ports, unless they are expressly included in the package offerings. Prices are accurate as of the publication date; however, due to the volatile nature of airfare prices and the limited availability of certain service classes, the cost and availability of tour packages may be subject to change. In the event of a discrepancy due to human or technological error, Lolli Travel LLC retains the authority to issue a corrected invoice reflecting the accurate price or service. Passengers who opt not to accept a price increase are entitled to a full refund, assuming that a written notice of cancellation is submitted to Lolli Travel LLC within five days following the announcement of the price increase.

 

Flight delays & cancellations 

Lolli Travel LLC cannot be held responsible for any flight delays or cancellations caused by, but not limited to, weather, mechanical issues, or personnel strikes. In the event of a flight delay, you must work directly with the airline to be rebooked. Once your new flight is confirmed, you must then notify Lolli Travel LLC of your new arrival time. You may call Lolli Travel at 985-991-6178 or email at hello@lollitravel.com.

 

Flights

Lolli Travel LLC is not responsible for the services and policies imposed by the airlines. Airline schedules and flights are subject to change without notice. Lolli Travel LLC is not responsible

for penalties incurred for tickets, international or domestic, not issued by Lolli Travel LLC.

 

Roommate Matching

Our Roommate Matching Service is exclusively offered for participants of our International Tours. Eligibility for a roommate pairing occurs once a participant has paid over 75% of their total travel costs, contingent upon the potential roommate having also fulfilled the same payment criterion of covering 75% of their respective travel expenses.

 

Refunds

All financial transactions made to Lolli Travel LLC, including payments, are irrevocably final and cannot be transferred. The reason behind this policy is rooted in the binding agreements Lolli Travel LLC maintains with service providers such as hotels and airlines, which preclude the possibility of reimbursement. This structure enables us to offer you competitively priced travel packages while affording the convenience of monthly installment payments for your vacation plans.

 

Refunds & cancellations when sharing a room

If you are booked in a double/twin room and your roommate cancels his or her tour, you will be responsible for paying the single supplement fee. You are not allowed to cancel your tour in this situation.

Due to local or national holidays, seasonal hours of operation or availability, special events, and/or peak harvest seasons, access to certain facilities and attractions including, but not limited to, vineyards, museums, historical sites, or stores may be limited. On such occasions, and whenever possible, itinerary adjustments will be necessary to minimize traveler inconvenience. 

 

Minor Policy

It is mandatory for all minors under the age of 18 to be accompanied by an adult on our tours. The minimum permissible age for participation varies by tour type: it is set at 6 months for most tours, 12 years for tours to South Africa and Dubai, 12 years for European tour programs, and 6 months for cruise tours, with the requirement that minors must share a cabin with an adult aged 25 or older. Special discounts may be available for children under 12 sharing a room with two adults on certain Caribbean and Mexico tours. The adult accompanying the minor is responsible for the child's safety and must ensure the provision of appropriate safety gear (e.g., car seats) as needed. Additionally, due to international regulations aimed at preventing child abduction, minors traveling without both parents or with an adult who is not their parent must have a notarized letter of authorization from the absent parent(s) specifying travel dates.

 

Tipping

Complete tipping guidelines are as follows: Drivers including private cars and motorcoach drivers: $5-$10 per person, per day Tour Guides: $10-$20 per person, per day

This includes but is not limited to, individuals exhibiting signs of intoxication or drug influence that negatively impacts the group's experience.

ACCOMMODATIONS / MEALS/ RAIL TRAVEL/ CRUISES

 

Hotels: Accommodation requests default to standard rooms furnished with twin beds (two single beds) and private amenities unless a specific request for a king or double bed has been made. It is important to note that while we will request your preferred bed type on your behalf, the final bed type provided is contingent upon hotel availability and at the discretion of hotel management, which assigns rooms on a run-of-house basis. Accommodations for three or four persons in cruises are furnished with individual twin beds per person. It should be noted that single rooms may be smaller than standard rooms, and room size is not determined by the number of occupants. The use of air-conditioning in hotels outside the United States, particularly in many European establishments predating the advent of centralized air systems, may vary significantly, with operational hours typically reduced during nighttime and outside of summer months. All rates for hotel stays are derived from agreements with our suppliers and are fixed. Check-in at hotels is usually not available before 3:00 p.m., with check-out required by noon. For late-night flight arrivals, ensure that hotel accommodations are appropriately arranged. Day rooms, when included, extend check-out until 6:00 p.m. We retain the authority to substitute hotels with others of comparable quality, and no refunds will be issued for any cost difference in accommodations.

Hotel and Cruise Information: The descriptions and profiles for hotels and cruises provided by Lolli Travel LLC, are based on data received from our hotel and cruise partners, including visual and textual depictions of facilities. It is important to recognize that star ratings can vary between countries. While we endeavor to keep our information up to date, we are not liable for inaccuracies in the descriptions, amenities, or images supplied by third parties.

Meal Arrangements: Meals are as outlined in each trip itinerary and typically consist of either a buffet or a set menu provided by the hotel or restaurant. Beverages are generally not included unless explicitly mentioned. Lolli Travel LLC  will attempt to accommodate special dietary needs if requests are made in writing to hello@lollitravel.com  at least four weeks before departure.

Rail Travel: Upon receiving full payment, Lolli Travel LLC will arrange train schedules and rail tickets will then be issued, becoming non-refundable. Requests for specific train schedules must be submitted in writing before the final payment is made; group travelers may not request individual train times. Once issued, rail tickets are only valid for the specified dates and times; some ticket exchanges may only be processed at the train station and could incur additional fees or fare differences. No changes can be made after the departure of the booked train, nor can amendments be made onboard. Seat assignments are under the purview of the rail companies and cannot be guaranteed by Lolli Travel Travel LLC. Issued rail tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.

This includes but is not limited to, entities in charge of hotels, transportation services such as airlines, vessels, or buses, local ground operations, excursion organizers, or food and entertainment suppliers. These entities operate as independent contractors. Consequently, Lolli Travel LLC disclaims liability for any acts, omissions, or failures to act by any such entity or any third party. Specifically, Lolli Travel LLC is not accountable for personal injury, property damage, loss, delays, or inconveniences that occur due to, but not limited to, natural disasters, governmental actions, civil disturbances, labor disputes, criminal or terrorist acts, overbookings, structural issues in accommodations, transportation failures, risks related to animals, insects, or natural hazards associated with outdoor activities, health and sanitation concerns, medical care availability, or any other circumstances outside of Lolli Travel LLC’s direct control. Furthermore, I absolve Lolli Travell LLC of liability for its own negligence and willingly assume all associated risks.

26 I acknowledge that the type of travel I am embarking upon involves inherent risks, including the potential for illness, injury, or death, which might arise from natural forces, wildlife, the oversight of Lolli Travel LLC, or the acts of third parties, whether known or unknown. I recognize that weather conditions may be harsh and medical facilities may not always be readily accessible. Embracing the adventure and excitement of this journey necessitates accepting these uncertainties and risks as part of the experience. I therefore willingly accept and assume full responsibility for any risks of illness, injury, or death, including those resulting from Lolli Travel LLC’s negligence, and release Lolli Travel LLC from liability for the negligence of any third parties.

27. I affirm that I am physically, medically, and mentally prepared for this activity, with no known conditions that would compromise my participation or safety.

TRAVELERS WITH DISABILITIES AGREEMENT

 

To ensure an optimal experience with Lolli Travel LLC travelers must choose tours aligned with their physical fitness levels. Individuals needing assistance, including those with mobility challenges, and visual or auditory impairments, must inform Lolli Travel LLC before making a reservation to allow for assessment and approval. It is mandatory for such travelers to be accompanied by someone who will provide the needed assistance, as tour staff, including guides, drivers, or hotel and ship personnel, are not equipped to offer personal aid.

Participants must possess the ability to follow the Tour Director's instructions promptly for both the smooth operation of the tour and personal safety. Lolli Travel LLC reserves the right to deny participation or remove any traveler from a tour if prior notification of special needs was not given or if, in our sole discretion, the individual’s continued presence could adversely affect the tour's operation or the enjoyment of other guests. Any costs arising from such a situation, including cancellation charges or expenses for alternative travel arrangements or repatriation, will be borne by the traveler.

Our escorted tours are dynamic and may involve significant walking, sometimes on uneven surfaces. To ensure group cohesion and pace, clients are expected to keep up with the tour group. Those with special requirements might find independent travel more accommodating. Lolli Travel LLC is willing to recommend alternatives based on specific needs.

Wheelchairs & Walkers:

• Domestic Tours: In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Lolli Travel LLC strives to accommodate travelers with disabilities when feasible, given the tour itinerary. However, travelers should be aware that certain tour elements may not be fully accessible to those requiring the use of wheelchairs, scooters, or other mobility aids. Direct personal assistance for individuals with mobility challenges cannot be provided, and some tours may not be suitable for wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Travelers must notify Lolli  Travel LLC of any mobility issues before booking to assess the possibility of accommodation, which cannot be guaranteed in every case.

• International Tours: Facilities outside the United States may not adhere to ADA standards, potentially lacking features such as ramps, wide doorways, or elevators to assist disabled passengers or those requiring mobility aids like wheelchairs and walkers. Constraints of physical infrastructure and space limitations may preclude the use of wheelchairs, walkers, and motorized scooters on motor coaches and river cruises.

Service Animals:

• International Tours: International escorted tours cannot accommodate service animals.

• Domestic Tours: Travelers requiring a service animal due to a disability should consult with Lolli Travel LLC before booking a tour to ensure accommodations can be made.

Lolli Travel LLC commits to making reasonable efforts to accommodate special access needs within the constraints of the tour itinerary but does not guarantee the ability to fulfill all such requests.
