Exeter International Terms & Conditions 2024

Visas & Passports

Some countries we service require visas of most visitors, including citizens of the United States, Mexico, Canada and Australia. Exeter International will arrange for the invitation required for a visa upon booking. Each traveler will be responsible for all additional required documentation. This varies by country but generally includes a passport photo, a completed visa form, photo copy of the information pages of his/her passport, and the visa processing fee. If the traveler would like, Exeter International will obtain all visas at additional cost. Each traveler is responsible for his/her own passport, which must be valid for at least six (6) months after the completion of the participant’s tour. The passport must also have at least two completely empty visa pages. Exeter International is not responsible for the refusal of a visa to any traveler by any consulate. In the event of visa refusal, any and all expenses/cancellation fees shall be borne by the traveler.  


Payment Policies

Deposit Requirements

Specialty resorts have more restrictive deposit requirements than typical Exeter International programs. For your particular custom journey, a deposit of 50% is due to initiate the booking process. This deposit is nonrefundable and the resort may or may not let you change the date or reuse the credit later in the event of a cancellation. Each resort operates differently with this.

Please Initial to Accept:

Final Payment

Final payment is due 60 days prior to the commencement of travel. If final payment is not received 60 days prior to departure, your reservation will automatically be canceled.

Exeter International will supply its travelers with personal transportation to and from all train stations, airports and ports, as described in the tour description. Baggage assistance is included for one piece of luggage per person, but tour participants should be prepared to handle their own bags at certain times during the tour.

Touring and transfers will be by regular 4 passenger cars (based on two guests traveling together) or minivan/minibus for larger parties unless you have specifically ordered a specialty car for your tour. 

Scheduling

Please note that due to circumstances beyond the control of Exeter International, the tour may not be deliverable exactly as described (i.e. theater scheduling, hotel occupancy, etc.), BUT Exeter International will substitute scheduled or advertised events, hotels, and restaurants with alternatives of equal or greater value and quality. All hotels, restaurant and airline space is subject to their management’s approval. Exeter International will make every effort to guarantee this package as is, but conditions will sometimes mandate minor changes to the program. Reservations are nontransferable. 

Expedited Services

Expedited Bookings

All bookings confirmed less than three weeks before departure will require expedited procedures. The cost for expedited bookings is $250 per booking.

For the enjoyment of all passengers, smoking is not allowed on Exeter International buses and cars or while the group is together on tour or at meals.

COVID-19 or other Health Related Issues and Problems: Important information

The health and safety of our travelers is our highest priority. However, Exeter International cannot make any guarantees or representations that guarantees our travelers safety. We will endeavor to take measures to ensure that we can operate safely and securely. However, the rules, regulations of carriers differ from company to company and country to country. Except for our Founder’s Tours, all our tours are custom designed and private, where travelers, to the extent possible, do not share with anyone outside their group. We cannot guarantee that anyone in your group is safe. We are also regularly reviewing every preferred accommodation partner and carriers and only offering carriers and properties who represent that they are instituting safety policies including new hygiene and sanitation protocols and the like. Some countries have no policies in effect and others have very strict policies. We will do our best to keep you informed. In some cases, our travelers may have to make personal decisions. In other cases, we may have no control. 


However, while every effort is made by Exeter International to provide guidance and advice for travel booked it is solely the responsibility of the traveler to understand the following before travel at this time or in the future and over which we have no control:

  • Conditions of entry and possible quarantine at the destination(s) and interim destinations. and any possible quarantine requirements on return home.
  • Any requirement to provide proof of a recent negative Covid - 19 test or antibody test results on arrival. Failure to provide this may result in enforced quarantine on arrival or even denial of entry. Should you be denied entry into your destination you will be liable for any cancellation charges and any related additional costs to your vacation.
  • Any restrictions to your insurance.
  • Should you fall ill during your travels Exeter International cannot provide medical advice or treatment recommendations.
  • You are advised to obtain the best level of travel insurance you deem appropriate for you and your group. Be sure to read the fine print. There are a lot of choices. We cannot advise which is best or worst. We can advise what our travelers tell us they have obtained or preferred.

In addition: 

In the event that (i) you are unable to travel due to you or your travel companion condition or status due to carrier or governmental restrictions or if you or being ordered to self-quarantine, (ii) transportation to or at your destination is prohibited due health or safety restrictions. (iii) for any sudden changes to possible border restrictions implemented within the destinations of choice while traveling, we will endeavor to obtain refunds on your behalf, however, third party services and/or accommodations booked by Exeter International on your behalf such as hotels, transportation and tour packages may have cancellation, refund or rescheduling policies beyond those of Exeter International control. Exeter will attempt to negotiate with these vendors to try to obtain a generally acceptable outcome. However, you agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur, and agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Exeter from any such fees.
