TERMS & CONDITIONS
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
A government issued photo ID is required for travel. Proof of Covid vaccine is no longer required for entry to any of the sites listed in your program. Masks may be required indoors and on public or private transportation so please verify posted signs at the entrance of each place you visit. Peter’s Way is not responsible for lack of proper ID or loss of funds due to denial of entry or cancellations.
PAYMENTS
Original deposit must be made online. All subsequent payments can also be made online but will be accepted in the form of check, money order, or debit/credit card. If final payment is not received by the balance deadline, Peter’s Way Tours reserves the right to cancel your reservation. Late payment fees may apply for late payments. Personal checks will not be accepted within 30 days of departure. If the bank returns a personal check, a $25.00 processing fee will apply, and subsequent payments must be made in the form of money order, certified bank check, or debit/credit card. PWT collects funds on travelers’ behalf and remits those funds to suppliers. PWT has no liability for suppliers' acts or omissions. By enrolling for this tour, you agree not to initiate a chargeback against PWT for any supplier's failure to refund or provide credit due to a forced cancellation of services.
CANCELLATIONS/REFUNDS
All payments are nonrefundable upon receipt. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance in order to protect your investment in this tour package. Travel insurance is recommended as protection for cancellations due to medical reasons such as illness or injury. Tour participation is non-transferable. Names cannot be transferred on reservations. All refund requests are subject to cancellation restrictions as set forth above. We do not refund costs associated with tour services that are not utilized. Please read all details very carefully under TRAVEL INSURANCE.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
It is strongly recommended that all participants purchase insurance when they travel since the tour operator is not responsible for nonrefundable payments, damaged luggage, denied entry, lack of proper documentation, or any cancellations, including due to illness or trip interruption. We recommend Travelex Insurance at www.travelex-insurance.com or you can view other options at www.insuremytrip.com.
TRANSPORTATION TO/FROM NEW YORK
This travel package does not include airfare or ground transportation in New York City. We recommend checking with the air carrier of your choice, or Amtrak direct into Penn Station/Moynihan Hall. Local airports are LaGuardia, Newark, and John F. Kennedy. Please contact us for more information on the best ways to transfer from any of these locations to NYC. It is important that you do not independently purchase airline tickets until the group has been confirmed by Peter’s Way Tours for travel. If you purchase your own airline transportation and the group does not materialize or you cancel for any reason, Peter’s Way Tours will not be held responsible for the cost of your airfare.
ACCOMMODATIONS/SINGLE TRAVELERS
The package price is based on two persons sharing a hotel room with two queen beds and private bathroom. Couples may request a king bed; however, all rooms are subject to availability. Triple/quad rooms are not available as the rooms in New York City are very small. Single rooms are limited and may be requested at time of booking. If confirmed, an additional charge of $750.00 will apply. We will make every effort to accommodate roommate requests, but we cannot guarantee we will be able to assign you a roommate. If a single room must be assigned due to your roommate's cancellation, incompatibility, or for any other reason (even at the last moment or while on tour), we must charge you the single supplement or pro-rated amount.
MEALS
Daily buffet breakfast plus two dinners are included in your package.
GRATUITIES & SERVICE CHARGES
Gratuities are not included in your tour package. Although voluntary, it is suggested to tip your tour guides $5.00 per person, per tour, your bus driver $3.00 per person, per tour and the hotel housekeeping service $5.00 for each night they service your room.
TRAVEL HEALTH ADVISORY
Passengers must be medically and physically fit for travel and ensure that such traveling will not endanger themselves or others. This tour does not include daily bus transportation and entails a lot of walking. It is possible you can walk an average of 8-10 miles a day. Taxis & Ubers are readily available for additional cost throughout NYC if needed. Peter's Way Tours welcomes any passengers with special needs or requirements, but those passengers must be accompanied by a travel companion who will provide proper help. Peter’s Way Tours is not responsible if we are unable to provide special services or for the denial of services by any hotels, restaurants, or other independent suppliers.
