6. What ID will I need to bring with me on my tour?
For travel within the U.S., at a minimum you will want to have your driver's license or a valid State identification card with you.
* All air tours require valid, unexpired government issued I.D., such as driver's license.
* All International tours require passports, and some countries require Visas. Passports must be valid for 6 months beyond the tour return date.
Be sure to have your picture I.D. (driver's license or valid State ID card) with you during tours, as many government buildings, monuments and exhibits now require you to show ID before you are allowed to enter.
Please note that expense of such documents is at the traveler's expense.
7. What identification is needed to book a tour that includes air and/or international travel?
The Transportation Security Administration now requires that we collect the following mandatory passenger data prior to all air travel. We will ask you for this information at the time of booking.
* Your full legal name (No nicknames or abbreviations)
(as it appears on your driver's license - for domestic air tours)
(as it appears on your passport - for International tours)
* Date of Birth
* Gender
Any changes that need to be made after tickets are issued will be at the client's expense.
8. Do I need a passport?
All travel to locations outside of the United States requires you to have a valid passport. For trips within the U.S. only, a passport is not required.
Please note that some U.S. itineraries do offer optional excursions that will take you outside of the country. For Example: The Pacific Northwest Grandeur tour offers a one-day optional excursion to Victoria, British Columbia. In this case, a passport is required to take this optional tour. Otherwise, you may choose an option where you will remain in the U.S.
9. My itinerary is within the U.S. only. Should I apply for a passport anyway?
Because of the length of time needed to receive a passport (in most cases), even if your chosen itinerary is within the country, we recommend that you apply for and have a passport handy for possible future trips.
Back To Top10. Do I need a Visitor's Visa?
Some countries do require a Visitor's Visa. If this is required for your itinerary, we will provide you with additional information and the steps for acquiring one.
Back To Top11. My passport is about to expire. When should I renew it?
If you passport expires within the next 6 months, it is recommended that you renew it now. Some countries require that your passport be valid for a minimum of 6 months beyond your scheduled return date.
Back To Top12. Does everyone traveling with me need a passport?
Yes. All passengers must have a valid passport of their own.
