IDENTIFICATION: Guests are required to make reservations in the full name
that is listed on his/her government document they will use for travel. If you
need to make any changes to a name after travel documents have been issued,
clients will be responsible for all name change fees, if applicable.
PAYMENTS: Our merchant account is with Stripe via TravelJoy. This will allow
our clients to make payments through major credit cards.
REFUNDS: All payments to 3385 Travel & Events are non-refundable and
non-transferable. This is because 3385 Travel & Events has contractual
agreements with hotels, airlines, and other vendors that will not allow us to
obtain any refunds. This way we can keep our package prices competitive and
allow you to make monthly payments on your vacation.
ROOMMATE MATCHING: Roommate matching is available for our International
Tours only. You will be matched with a roommate once you have paid more than
75% of the balance of your travel reservations provided the person you will be
matched with has also paid 75% of his/her balance. After you have submitted a
profile and when 75% of your reservation has been paid, you will begin to
receive email notifications from 3385 Travel & Events with the name, email
address, and profile of other solo travelers on your tour who have also
expressed an interest in finding a roommate. Your information will in turn be
provided to those same solo travelers. You will have two weeks to select to
roommate and notify 3385 Travel & Events.
PASSPORTS AND VISAS: Passengers are responsible for ensuring that they have
the proper travel documents and MUST CHECK with the respective consulate(s) or
visa agency to determine whether any visas or passports are required. Passports
are required to be valid for at least 6 months after the date of travel. Some
countries require a full blank “VISA” page in the passport for stamping
purposes. Any information provided in the travel description pertains to US
citizens only. Non-US citizens should check with the respective consulate of
the country(s) to be visited for current entry requirements. We strongly
suggest all cruise passengers have a valid passport in their possession while
cruising.
TRAVEL PROTECTION: Missing a vacation is bad enough. Losing the money you
paid for your vacation is even worse. Therefore, we highly recommend Travel
Protection that helps provide coverage for Trip Cancellation, Interruption,
Baggage Loss or Delay, Medical Expenses, and more. You are required to select
and purchase travel insurance yourself for domestic and international tours.
For Caribbean, Mexico, and Cruise Tours, we can add travel insurance to your
package when making your reservations.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Provided full payment is received no later than your
Final Payment Due date, travel documents and travel instructions will be sent
via email 30 days or earlier prior to travel.
CHILDREN: On trips where children are allowed – all children under 18
must be accompanied by an adult. The minimum age for children on most tours is
6 months. The minimum age for South Africa and Dubai Tours is 12. The minimum
age for European Tour programs is 12. The minimum age for cruise tours is 6
months old and the child must sail in a cabin with an adult over the age of 25
years of age. Discounts for children sharing a room as a third person may apply
to children under 12 at some resorts on Caribbean and Mexico Tours.
Accompanying adults are responsible for the safety of their children including
providing any necessary safety equipment (such as infant/child seats) where
appropriate. Please note that many countries have adopted practices to prevent
international abductions of children. If a person under the age of 18 years
will be travelling with an adult other than his/her parents, or with only one
parent, a notarized letter written by the parents, or non-travelling parent,
granting authorization to travel, including the dates of travel should be
carried.

personal nature such as laundry, wines, water, beverages, food (other than at
all-inclusive resorts or where clearly specified), passport and visa fees,
insurance, and foreign port taxes unless specifically indicated in the package
inclusions. Prices are correct at the time of publication; however, as airfares

reservations (except where specified) will require a deposit and will clearly
note the amount due and the monthly payment plan.

long as the tour still has available space. Late Payment: If there is any

to the total amount paid minus the cost of travel insurance, or through company
check if payment cannot be reversed to your credit card(s). After a final

will incur a $50 per person charge plus any additional supplier fees. This
includes name changes* and the removal of any services such as optional tours
and transfers. *Please note that name changes to airline reservations are
subject to full cancellation and rebooking. Replacing a traveling passenger
with another traveling passenger constitutes a cancellation, subject to
cancellation penalties, and is not covered by this Reservation Changes policy.
Changes or additions after departure are subject to local rates at the time of
amendment and must be paid directly by the passenger to the service provider.
There are no refunds for unused services.

TRAVELERS WITH DISABILITIES
In order to fully enjoy your 3385 Travel & Events tour, we recommend
that you select a trip that is suitable to your physical capabilities. Tour
participants requiring any form of assistance, including travelers with
physical disabilities, and sight or hearing impairments, are required to notify
3385 Travel & Events prior to reservation for review and our agreement.
Additionally, the tour participant must be accompanied by an individual
responsible for providing those services. Tour managers, guides, drivers, or
other tour, hotel, and ship personnel are not able to provide such assistance.
In order to participate in escorted tours, passengers must be able to
understand and follow instructions given by the Tour Director at all times,
both for the successful operation of the tour as well as for their personal
safety. 3385 Travel & Events reserves the right to reject participation or
remove any individual from a tour if notification was not provided and/or when,
in our sole judgment, continued participation would significantly hinder the
services to be provided to all guests. Expenses, including cancellation fees
and/or costs for alternate travel plans or to return home, will be the sole
responsibility of the passenger. Escorted tours are fast-paced, often requiring
lengthy walks over uneven terrain. In the interests of group harmony, clients
should be able to maintain the pace of the tour. Clients with special needs may
be better served independently. 3385 Travel & Events can suggest touring
options based on specific requirements. Wheelchairs & Walkers: USA Tours:
Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA), 3385 Travel &
Events seeks to accommodate disabled travelers to the extent possible and
consistent with the specific tour itinerary. Nevertheless, you may find that
certain tour features may not be accessible to the extent that you require a
wheelchair, scooter, or other special equipment to participate. We cannot
provide individual assistance to travelers with wheelchairs or other mobility
devices. We regret that some itineraries cannot accommodate wheelchairs or
motorized scooters. Passengers are required to advise 3385 Travel & Events
of their accessibility requirements prior to booking in order for 3385 Travel
& Events to determine if reasonable accommodations are available. 3385
Travel & Events will endeavor to accommodate special access needs but does
not guarantee that it will be able to do so in all cases. International Tours:
Hotels, sea, and river cruises outside of the United States are not required to
comply with ADA requirements and therefore may not have ramps, wide entryways
or elevators to accommodate disabled passengers or devices such as wheelchairs,
walkers, and motorized scooters. Due to physical constraints and space
limitations, wheelchairs, walkers and motorized scooters may not be taken
aboard motor coaches and river cruises. Service Animals: Service animals cannot
be accommodated on international escorted tours. Passengers on USA escorted
tours who require a service dog because of a disability should check with 3385
Travel & Events prior to booking a tour.
________________________________________
AIRLINES:
3385 Travel & Events is not responsible for the services and policies
imposed by the airlines. Airline schedules and flights are subject to change
without notice. 3385 Travel & Events Travel is not responsible for
penalties incurred for tickets, international or domestic, not issued by 3385
Travel & Events Travel due to schedule and/or flight changes. Airline
reservations completed online are subject to review and, should 3385 Travel
& Events deem it necessary, may be rebooked to match minimum connecting time
requirements and/or tour package itineraries, in which case you will be
notified immediately. Airlines reserve the right to demand immediate issuance
of tickets whenever they determine that specific flights are heavily booked
even when normal ticketing rules do not require tickets to be issued until a
later date. In this instance, 3385 Travel & Events will require immediate
and full payment of the airfare. This situation overrides invoice terms and
conditions and payment due dates. If full payment is not received, seats will
be canceled by the airline and may not be available to be rebooked on the same
flights or at the same airfare. Any replacement air arrangements and airfare
will be the sole responsibility of the passenger. Airline Tickets: Once full
payment is received; 3385 Travel & Events airline tickets will be issued
and are fully non-refundable. Should airline tickets require to be issued
earlier than the Final Payment due date, you may be required to pay a larger
non-refundable deposit and/or complete full payment. Airline Seat Assignments:
The airlines bear the sole authority of assigning seats on group flights. All
3385 Travel & Events airline contracts are for economy class seats only. If
you require another class of service, you may consider purchasing your own
flights and purchasing your land-only package from 3385 Travel & Events.
________________________________________
AIRLINE FREQUENT FLIER PROGRAMS:
Passengers are responsible for contacting their airline directly regarding
mileage eligibility and accrual. Airline frequent flier programs determine
whether to award miles in part or total based on their own rules which are
updated frequently. Some discounted or promotional airfares as well as some
code-share flights are not eligible for mileage accrual. Some private airfares,
such as a “3385 Travel & Events Travel Airfare”, are not eligible
for mileage or may qualify for reduced mileage, even if the same airline class
of service is eligible for full mileage when sold as an “Instant
Purchase” published airfare. Not all published airfares are eligible for
mileage. 3385 Travel & Events Travel will record frequent flier numbers
when provided by the passenger prior to travel documents being issued. However,
the addition of frequent flier numbers to airline records does not guarantee
mileage eligibility which is at the sole discretion of each airline. Airline
schedule changes may result in flights that were originally eligible for
mileage accrual no longer being eligible. We highly recommend passengers
provide their frequent flier account information whenever checking in online
and/or at the airport check-in desk. After travel has commenced, it is often
not possible to apply for frequent mileage credit. Passengers are also
responsible for determining whether previously earned mileage may be applied to
flights to secure upgrades. Contact Information: Pursuant to TSA Secure Flight
requirements, passengers are responsible for providing 3385 Travel & Events
Travel with their name as it appears on their passport (or other
government-issued I.D. when traveling), date of birth, gender, address, phone
number, email and fax data for all passengers. Passengers must ensure that
names are correctly listed on their invoices. 3385 Travel & Events Travel
will not be responsible for passengers who do not receive an invoice or
documents or are denied boarding due to inaccurate information.
________________________________________
AIRLINE NAME CHANGES:
Any name change including minor spelling corrections may require airline
reservations to be canceled and rebooked. Reservations are subject to current
availability and pricing at the time of rebooking. Once airline tickets are
issued, subsequent name corrections will be subject to an airline rebooking fee
which may be as much as the full value of the airline ticket plus a $50
revision fee per change. 3385 Travel & Events will not be held responsible
for the denial of services by a carrier due to any name discrepancy. Name
changes must be advised in writing at hello@3385travelandevents.com.
________________________________________
AIRLINE TAXES & FUEL SURCHARGES:
If you purchased airfare, airline taxes and fuel surcharges are included.
Prior to the completion of full payment, there is a potential for a price
increase(s) due to increases in government-levied taxes and fees and/or fuel
surcharges. To avoid potential increases, you may choose to accelerate your
final payment in order that your tickets may be issued. Once issued, airline
tickets are no longer subject to potential increases but are fully
non-refundable. Certain overseas domestic flights are subject to air taxes
which can only be paid locally; in these cases, the specific flights and
amounts of those taxes are indicated in our package presentation and
pre-departure documentation.
________________________________________
Schedule CHANGES:
In the event of an airline schedule change, 3385 Travel & Events will
make every effort to inform passengers of the schedule change and new flight
schedule prior to departure. 3385 Travel & Events is not responsible for
schedule changes including, when applicable, changes in routing and/or the
number of stops in the itinerary. 3385 Travel & Events is unable to provide
compensation for schedule changes, seat assignment modifications, or
cancellations implemented by an airline. In the event of any change in flight
itinerary made directly between passengers and their airline, it is the
passengers’ responsibility to advise 3385 Travel & Events of amended flight
details in writing at hello@3385travelandevents.com 3385 Travel & Events
cannot be held responsible for land services, including arrival and/or
departure transfers if flights are changed without its knowledge.
________________________________________
HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS:
All rooms requested are standard twin-bedded (two single beds) rooms with
private facilities unless you have specifically requested a king/double size
bed. Please understand although we will make a bed type request on your behalf,
bed types are subject to availability. Room selection in all cases is strictly
at the discretion of the hotel’s management on a run-of-house basis. Triple and
quad occupancy rooms consist of two beds for cruises, whereas triple and quad
rooms will consist of a twin bed for each person. Some single rooms are smaller
than a standard room size. The number of persons accommodated does not dictate
the room size. Although available at most 4 and 5-star hotels, the use of
air-conditioning abroad differs greatly from the United States. Many European
hotels were built before central air-conditioning was introduced.
Air-conditioning is often shut down at night and from the end until the start
of the summer months. All hotel rates are based on 3385 Travel & Events
Travel’s agreements with its suppliers and are not negotiable. Hotel check-in
time is generally not before 3:00 p.m. and check-out time is prior to noon.
Please be sure that adequate arrangements for accommodations have been taken
into consideration when a late-night flight is being used. If a day room is
included in the itinerary, check-out will normally be at 11:00 a.m. We reserve
the right to make substitutions with hotels of equal standard. There will be no
refunds for any difference in the cost of those accommodations. Hotel & Cruise
Profiles: 3385 Travel & Events Travel’s hotel and cruise ship profiles are
based upon information provided to 3385 Travel & Events Travel by hotel and
cruise ship partners and their representatives, including images and
descriptions of individual properties. Star ratings may differ from country to
country. 3385 Travel & Events Travel does its best to maintain current
information, however is not responsible for any inaccuracies, changes in
description details or amenities, or images provided by third parties.
________________________________________
MEALS:
As specified in each itinerary. Meals are based on the hotel’s or
restaurant’s buffet or set menu. In general, beverages are not included, unless
specifically stated. Although 3385 Travel & Events cannot make guarantees,
every effort will be made to honor special dietary requests submitted in
writing at least 4 weeks prior to departure at hello@3385travelandevents.com.
________________________________________
TRANSFERS:
Transfers are provided as indicated for each tour by car, minibus, or motor
coach provided airfare is purchased from 3385 Travel & Events. If you
purchase a land-only tour, or if you deviate from the arrival and/or departure
dates as stated in the itinerary, you will have the responsibility to purchase
your own transfer to the hotel. Your arrival transfer is guaranteed for up to
one hour from your scheduled arrival time in order to compensate for minor
delays. 3385 Travel & Events Travel or the transfer company will not be
responsible for flight delays, for any reason, beyond one hour from your
originally scheduled arrival time. In case of a delay, whether due to flight
delay, immigration, and customs, or time spent reporting baggage damage or
loss, it will be your responsibility to make other transfer arrangements such
as a taxi. Transfer costs are not refundable and any additional expenses will
be your responsibility. The cost of a transfer is more expensive than hiring a
taxi, as a 3385 Travel & Events transfer necessarily includes round trip
service, or ‘dead-leg’, meaning that our driver must come to the airport, hotel
or pier only to pick you up and necessarily loses a one-way fare. Often the
places of call (airports, seaports, hotels) demand entrance and parking fees,
where drivers may have to wait for up to an hour. 3385 Travel & Events
transfer drivers, while not employees of 3385 Travel & Events, are
reliable. They provide you with a full welcome service, transfer you to the
correct location, and are prepared to answer your questions along your ride.
Passengers comfortable hiring a taxi on their own and do not require assistance
will save money.
________________________________________
SIGHTSEEING & ITINERARY:
Will be operated by motor vehicle, its size dictated by the number of
participants. 3385 Travel & Events tours have been designed to accommodate
individuals as well as groups. Times listed in itineraries are approximate and
meant only as guidelines. Some itineraries may have early morning start times
for sightseeing in order to complete the touring during daylight hours or avoid
afternoon heat in tropical and desert climates. It is your responsibility to
arrive on time for all scheduled flights, cruises, and package components.
Arriving late may be considered a “no-show”, in which case you will
not be eligible for a refund for the unused service(s). We cannot guarantee the
number of passengers who will be on any given tour. You may find that you are
traveling with a sizeable group or only with your own companions. Services,
however, will remain constant no matter the number of tour participants.
Persons requiring any assistance or who have any form of disability should
refer to the section “Travelers With Disabilities”. On dates
including, but not limited to religious holidays and national celebrations,
some monuments and sites may be closed. On these occasions, touring itineraries
may be amended to reflect these closures. Occasionally, during holidays and
certain periods, and/or due to unforeseen circumstances including weather
conditions there may be last-minute changes, sometimes after arrival, affecting
the sequence of the tour, locations visited, and/or hotels. Therefore, we
reserve the right to adjust the sequence and/or substitute any hotels with
others of a similar category. In such cases, there will be no cost adjustment.
National monuments and tourist sites regularly undergo renovations, which can
obscure the monument’s view. No tour will be canceled due to renovations,
however, 3385 Travel & Events will decide based on the conditions whether
to amend an itinerary. 3385 Travel & Events itineraries may contain
suggestions for activities for your leisure time; these suggestions do not
constitute an endorsement of any specific service provider and the decision to
participate in any such activities should be made independently and with due
consideration.
________________________________________
RAIL:
Once full payment is received, 3385 Travel & Events will select train
times, and rail tickets will be issued and are fully non-refundable. Except
where requested in writing prior to final payment. Passengers traveling with a
group may not request alternative train times. Once issued, rail tickets are
valid for the dates and times specified. Some exchanges must be done locally at
the station due to fare restrictions. Changes may be subject to local charges,
fees, and fare increases. Once the booked train has departed, changes are no
longer possible nor can amendments be completed on board the train. 3385 Travel
& Events does not control seat assignments which are entirely at the
discretion of the rail companies. Once rail tickets are issued they are fully
non-refundable and non-changeable.
________________________________________
GROUP HARMONY:
To ensure the desired group synergy, 3385 Travel & Events Travel
reserves the right to accept, reject, or expel any individual who is deemed
disruptive or incompatible with the interests of the group, including, but not
limited to, individuals who are intoxicated and/or under the influence of drugs
leading to a negative experience for the remainder of the group. Expenses,
including cancellation fees and/or costs for alternate travel plans or to
return home, will necessarily be borne by the passenger. All unused services
are non-refundable.
________________________________________
CRUISES:
Ship & Itinerary Changes: Cruise itineraries and ships are subject to
change without notice. Furthermore, cruise ships may be chartered and/or
departure dates canceled, in which case all monies will be refunded. 3385
Travel & Events Travel takes no responsibility for ship substitutions or
itinerary changes imposed by a cruise line and is not responsible for any
losses you may incur including the issuance and/or cancellation of airline
tickets or visa fees. Medical Services: Many ships do not carry a doctor or
nurse onboard. Should medical attention be required, local services will be
contacted. The resulting charges will be the responsibility of the passenger.
3385 Travel & Events and the cruise ship operator are not responsible for
the services provided.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS:
Check with your healthcare provider for up-to-date requirements. You may
also check the Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov) and/or the World
Health Organization (http://www.who.int/en/) for their recommendations.
Required inoculations, if any, must be recorded by the clients’ health
practitioner on a valid vaccination certificate which the client must carry for
proof of inoculation where required. Individuals with heart disease, chronic
illness, physical handicap, advanced pregnancy, or mental illness should not
participate in these rigorous travel programs. Any person who arrives to the
destination ill with an apparent fever or becomes ill during the tour will be
removed from the group and directed to a local medical facility for diagnosis.
Only upon clearance by an accredited medical facility will that individual be
allowed to resume group travel. All costs associated with medical treatment and
related expenses such as additional hotel nights or transportation not included
in the original itinerary, will necessarily be borne by the passenger. Please
note that some countries may require aircraft cabin insecticide treatment for
inbound foreign flights. A list of such countries is available at: http://www.dot.gov/…/avi…/aircraft-disinsection-requirements.

LUGGAGE (AIRLINES):
Checked bags are typically limited to a total dimension of 62 inches by
adding length + width + height (example: 26″+26″+10″ = 62”), and
a maximum weight of 50 lbs (23kg). Many airlines apply charges for checked
bags. 3385 Travel & Events Travel is not responsible for checked bag fees,
excess luggage, or weight charges levied by an airline. If your luggage is lost
or damaged by the airlines, a baggage claim form MUST be filed with the carrier
before leaving the airport. We recommend that you use brightly colored luggage
tags, straps or other identifiers to help you locate your luggage upon arrival
or to describe it if it is lost. Luggage (Escorted Tours): All 3385 Travel
& Events escorted tour buses allow one piece of luggage per person, plus a
