Terms and Conditions
2010 Tour Conditions Agreement
This document outlines what Scottish Dream Tours ("SDT") agrees to provide when you sign up for a tour, and
what you agree to do in return. This is very important information, so please read it carefully before you
complete your reservation request.
Tour Price Guaranteed for 2010: Our tour prices do not include airfare, and are subject to change without
notice due to the unpredictability of currency rates and trip costs. However, the price for the tour you have
selected will be locked and guaranteed the moment we receive your deposit. (If you transfer to an alternate
2010 departure for the same itinerary, your initial tour price will be honored. If you transfer to a different
2010 tour itinerary, the tour price effective on the date we confirm your transfer will be applied.) For current
tour prices, visit www.scottishdreamtours.com or call our Tour Department at 800-511-7803.
Included in the price of each tour: Sightseeing tours by an SDT guide, and local guides when appropriate,
including admissions to sights seen as a group, breakfasts each morning and lunches and dinners listed in
itinerary; all accommodations, all transportation required for group activities from the first accommodation to
the last accommodation of the tour (transportation for optional group activities and independent travel during
the tour is not included). Not Included: Airfare, meals not specified in itinerary, optional sightseeing, room
service, items of a personal nature, beverages, telephone calls, laundry, traditional end of the tour gratuity to
your Tour Director and Motorcoach Driver, trip cancellation and travelers insurance.
Tour payments: To reserve a seat on an SDT tour you must agree to these Tour Conditions and provide us
with a deposit of $500 per person. We accept American Express, MasterCard and Visa debit or credit cards,
personal checks, money orders and bank drafts for all tour deposits. Your final tour payment will be due at
least 60 days before departure and we prefer your final payment to be made by check or money order. If
paying by credit card we charge an additional 3%. If you sign up for a tour within 60 days of the tour
departure, full payment will be required before we can confirm you on the tour and the deposit portion will be
non-refundable. Missing the final payment deadline, as noted on your tour invoice and your initial tour
confirmation letter, may result in your being removed from the tour. Please make a note on your calendar of
your final payment due date, as it is your responsibility to ensure that we receive your final payment in a
timely manner although we will email you a final payment reminder.
Single supplements for solo travelers: We offer optional, limited, extra-cost single supplements on each
of our 2010 tours if you would prefer a private room of your own (prices currently range from an additional
$495 - $995 depending upon the specific itinerary you select; refer to www.scottishdreamtours.com for the
most up-to-date single supplement prices). Single supplements are refundable if cancelled at least 60 days
prior to the tour departure. Single supplements cancelled less than 60 days prior to the tour departure will be
forfeited.
Cancellations and refunds: All cancellations must be in writing and are subject to the
following cancellation fee schedule.
Date of booking to 90 days to date of departure - 60% of deposit will default.
89 - 60 days to date of departure - 100% of deposit will default.
59 - 30 days to date of departure - 50% of tour cost.
29 days to date of departure - 100% of tour cost.
Cancellation insurance is strongly recommended. We suggest using: Total Travel Insurance Or Global Travel
Shield. We also recommend that you take out insurance for the duration of your trip to cover injury, death,
airline tickets, lost baggage and money, liability and medical expenses.
Cancellations should be mailed to:
Celtic Voyages
205 E 1st St
Cle Elum, WA 98922
USA
**We have never canceled a tour but any tour with less than 5 people may be subject to a
supplement in order to make the tour feasible for us.**
You'll want to pack light: Baggage handling for one suitcase per person on tour and at accommodations is
included in the tour price. Due to limited coach capacity, this single bag should have dimensions not exceeding
30"x 18"x 10" and weight not exceeding 60lbs (27 kg). A charge of $5 per traveling day will be collected if a
second piece of baggage is carried, or if the suitcase exceeds the established weight and/or dimensions.
Tour itineraries are subject to change: The UK and Ireland can be full of surprises and we need to be
flexible enough to take advantage of whatever comes along so that we may provide you with the best possible
tour. We reserve the right to make any changes up to the date of departure without notification if we feel it is in
the best interest of the tour group. Uncompleted portions of the tour itinerary are not cause for refund.
Participation: Although we want everyone to have a good time, it sometimes happens that someone
participating in a tour can misbehave or do things that are incompatible with the safety, comfort or
convenience of other members of the tour. You agree that in those circumstances we have the exclusive right
and discretion, to expel someone, or even you, from a tour at any time, without any claims or complaints by
you against us. We do not believe in the whole group suffering due to the actions of one person.
Disabilities: Any pre-existing physical, mental, or emotional disability that may require attention or
treatment must be reported in writing prior to the beginning of a tour. All tour members are required to
complete, sign and return, prior to their tour start date, a Release and Waiver Agreement, a Tour Member
Obligations and Participation Agreement, and Medical Form. Failure to return a complete and accurate Release
and Waiver Agreement could result in expulsion from a tour at your own expense. These forms will be mailed
to you upon payment of your tour balance.
Tours cancelled by STD: Although unlikely, your tour may be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. If
SDT cancels a tour you have reserved, the entire amount you have paid to SDT for the applicable tour will be
refunded to you within fourteen days after the tour's cancellation, as required under Washington State law.
Once this occurs, SDT and its representatives have no other obligations to tour members on cancelled trips
including any additional costs or fees related to the issuance and/or cancellation of airline tickets or other travel
reservations not made by SDT.
