TRAVELERS WITH DISABILITIES

In order to fully enjoy your travel, we recommend that you select a trip that is suitable to your physical capabilities. Tour participants requiring any form of assistance, including travelers with physical disabilities, sight or hearing impairments, are required to notify RAD Travel Group prior to reservation for review and our agreement. Additionally, the tour participant must be accompanied by an individual responsible for providing those services. Tour managers, guides, drivers, or other tour, hotel, and ship personnel are not able to provide such assistance. In order to participate in escorted tours, passengers must always be able to understand and follow instructions given by the Tour Director, both for the successful operation of the tour as well as for their personal safety. RAD Travel Group reserves the right to reject participation or remove any individual from a tour if notification was not provided and/or when in our sole judgement, continued participation would significantly hinder the services to be provided to all guests. Expenses, including cancellation fees and/or costs for alternate travel plans or to return home, will be the sole responsibility of the passenger. Escorted tours are fact paced, often requiring lengthy walks over uneven terrain. In the interests of group harmony, clients should be able to maintain the pace of the tour.

Wheelchairs & Walkers:

USA Tours: Pursant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA), RAD Travel Group seeks to accommodate disabled travelers to the extent possible and consistent with the specific tour itinerary. Nevertheless, you may find that certain tour features may not be accessible to the extent that you require a wheelchair, scooter, or other special equipment to participate. We cannot provide individual assistance to travelers with wheelchairs or other mobility devices. We regret that some itineraries cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Passengers are required to advise RAD Travel Group of their accessibility requirements prior to booking in order for RAD Travel Group to determine if reasonable accommodations are available. RAD Travel Group will endeavor to accommodate special needs, but does not guarantee that it will be able to do so in all cases.

International Tours:       

Hotels, sea and river cruises outside of the United states are not required to comply with ADA requirements and therefore may not have ramps, wide entryways, or elevators to accommodate disabled passengers or devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and motorized scooters. Due to physical constraints and space limitations, wheelchairs, walkers and motorized scooters may not be taken aboard motor coaches and river cruises.

Service  Animals:              

Service animals cannot be accommodated on international escorted tours. Passengers on USA escorted tours who require a service dog because of a disability should check with RAD Travel Group prior to booking.

AIRLINES:           

RAD Travel Group is not responsible for the services and policies imposed by the airlines. Airline schedules and flights are subject to change without notice. RAD Travel Group is not responsible for penalties incurred for tickets, international or domestic, not issued by RAD Travel Group due to schedule and/or flight changes.

Airline Tickets: Once full payment is received, RAD Travel Group airline tickets will be issued and are fully non-refundable. Should airline tickets require issuance earlier than the Final Payment due date, you may be required to pay a larger non-refundable deposit and/or complete full payment.

Airline Seat Assignments: The airlines bear sole authority of assigning seats on group flights. All RAD Travel Group airline contracts are for economy class seats only. If you require another class of service, you may consider purchasing your own flights and purchasing your land only package from RAD Travel Group.

Airline Name Changes: Any name change including minor spelling corrections may require airline reservations to be canceled and rebooked. Reservations are subject to current availability and pricing at the time of rebooking. Once airline tickets are issued, subsequent name corrections will be subject to an airline rebooking fee which may be as much as the full value of the airline ticket plus a $50 revision fee per change. RAD Travel Group will not be held responsible for the denial of services by a carrier due to any name discrepancy. Name changes must be advised in writing at andrea@nextradventure.com.

Airline Taxes & Fuel Surcharges: If you purchased airfare, airline taxes and fuel surcharges are included. Prior to completion of full payment there is a potential for a price increase(s) due to increases in government-levied taxes and fees and/or fuel surcharges. To avoid potential increases, you may choose to accelerate your final payment in order that your tickets may be issued. Once issued, airline tickets are no longer subject to potential increases but are fully non-refundable. Certain overseas domestic flights are subject to air taxes which can only be paid locally; in these cases, the specific flights and amounts of those taxes are indicated in our package presentation and pre-departure documentation.

Schedule Changes: In the event of an airline schedule change, RAD Travel Group will make every effort to inform passengers of the schedule change and new flight schedule prior to departure. RAD Travel Group is not responsible for schedule changes including, when applicable, changes in routing and/or the number of stops in the itinerary. RAD Travel Group is unable to provide compensation for schedule changes, seat assignment modifications, or cancellations implemented by an airline. In the event of any change in flight itinerary made directly between passengers and their airline, it is the passengers' responsibility to advise RAD Travel Group of amended flight details in writing at andrea@nextradventure.com. RAD Travel Group cannot be held responsible for land services, including arrival and/or departure transfers, if flights are changed without its knowledge.

SIGHTSEEING & ITINERARY:

Will be operated by motor-vehicle, its size dictated by the number of participants. RAD Travel Group tours have been designed to accommodate individuals as well as groups. Times listed in itineraries are approximate and meant only as guidelines. Some itineraries may have early morning start times for sightseeing in order to complete the touring during daylight hours or avoid afternoon heat in tropical and desert climates. It is your responsibility to arrive on time for all scheduled flights, cruises, and package components. Arriving late may be considered a "no-show", in which case you will not be eligible for refund for the unused service(s). We cannot guarantee the number of passengers who will be on any given tour. You may find that you are traveling with a sizeable group or only with your own companions. Services, however, will remain constant no matter the number of tour participants. Persons requiring any assistance or who have any form of disability should refer to section "Travelers With Disabilities". On dates including, but not limited to religious holidays and national celebrations, some monuments and sites may be closed. On these occasions, touring itineraries may be amended to reflect these closures. Occasionally, during holidays and certain periods, and/or due to unforeseen circumstances including weather conditions there may be last-minute changes, sometimes after arrival, in affecting the sequence of the tour, locations visited and/or hotels. Therefore, we reserve the right to adjust the sequence and/or substitute any hotels with others of similar category. In such cases there will be no cost adjustment. National monuments and tourist sites regularly undergo renovations, which can obscure the monument's view. No tour will be canceled due to renovations, however RAD Travel Group will decide based on the conditions whether to amend an itinerary. RAD Travel Group itineraries may contain suggestions for activities for your leisure time; these suggestions do not constitute an endorsement of any specific service provider and the decision to participate in any such activities should be made independently and with due consideration.

Rail: Once full payment is received, RAD Travel Group will select train times, rail tickets will be issued and are fully non-refundable. Except where requested in writing prior to final payment. Passengers traveling with a group may not request alternative train times. Once issued, rail tickets are valid for the dates and times specified. Some exchanges must be done locally at the station due to fare restrictions. Changes may be subject to local charges, fees, and fare increases. Once the booked train has departed, changes are no longer possible, nor can amendments be completed on board the train. RAD Travel Group does not control seat assignments which are entirely at the discretion of the rail companies. Once rail tickets are issued, they are fully non-refundable and non-changeable.
