Good to know
- Passports must be valid for more than 6 months from departure, signed and undamaged
- Vietnamese passport holders need a US visa and must attend an interview at a US consulate in person; we help with the application and interview booking and give you the deadline when booking. The visa fee is not included and the decision rests with the consulate. Tell us when booking if you already hold a valid US visa or travel on another passport
- Departures in the next few weeks suit only guests who already hold a valid US visa; if you still need one, choose a date far enough ahead for the application and interview
- The itinerary lists the Statue of Liberty but does not say whether the ferry to the island is included; we will confirm when booking
- You may stay on in the US after the tour within the period your visa allows; tell us in advance so we can arrange the return flight
- The order of visits, airline, flight times and hotels may change; hotel names are confirmed at the pre-departure briefing
- Group tours need a minimum number of guests to depart; if it is not reached, we will tell you in advance and agree a new date or a refund
- Children have separate rates by age; guests aged 70 and over need a health certificate and a relative travelling with them, and pregnant guests should tell us before booking
