MAKING MEMORIES TOUR DIRECTORS
A professional tour director will accompany the group for the entire itinerary on all motor coach tours. For air and/or rail tours, a Making Memories representative will be on the tour as long as the size of the group warrants his/her presence. If this is the case, a professional tour director from the supplier of the tour will be available to assist with your needs and to direct the itinerary. Before the tour ever departs, you will have your seasoned tour director’s name and cell phone number.

ABOUT EACH TOUR
We carefully plan a custom itinerary of every tour for your enjoyment. We travel on scenic routes and interstate highways for the best possible tour. We take a break every two to three hours. We make sure your reservations are scheduled and confirmed months in advance. Luggage tags, departure information including pick up times and locations, all hotel contact information and your tour director contact information will be mailed to you 7-10 days prior to tour departure.

PRE AND POST ACCOMODATIONS
To better serve our customers who live 70 miles away or more from your closest pick up point, we offer a pre-night and/or a post-night hotel room at $80.00 per night to you. Payment and reservations for these rooms are arranged by Making Memories Tours 45-days prior to tour launch, so call us before then and we can visit about the best option for you.

TO FLY ON AN AIRPLANE
Tours featuring this symbol will involve a flight. Each traveler must present a REAL ID compliant driver’s license or state-issued enhanced driver’s license, and for international travel a valid passport is required. Please note for all domestic flights, luggage fees are not figured into the cost of the tour and will be an additional cost payable direct to the airline upon your ticketing process for boarding. International flights accommodate luggage fees, providing you abide by size and weight limits, you will be responsible for any overages. Because air travel schedules can be altered without given notice to us, additional fees charged by airlines, regardless of reason, will be your responsibility. Travel insurance policies make provisions to cover these additional fees. Bottom line: we recommend travel insurance for any tour with airfare.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
• After you make your deposit, we will generate an invoice and mail or email it to you.
• We will mail a small packet of tour information to you which will include your luggage tag, departure information including pick up times and locations, medical forms, hotel address and phone number along with your tour director contact information all of which you may leave with your family. You will receive this 7-10 days prior to your tour departure.
• A staffed tour office with a kind voice is ready to answer any questions.

GENERAL INFORMATION
• REAL ID compliant state issued identification is required by multiple venues which we visit on any given tour. It is your responsibility to ensure you have a proper REAL ID.
• Travel outside of the United States requires a valid passport, most airlines will not issue an international ticket to passports expiring within six months. Any traveler with a prior felony should inquire with Making Memories Tours management regarding any special permissions and/or documentations required for international travel.
