The carriers, motor coach companies, hotels, and other suppliers (“Suppliers”) providing travel, hotel, and other accommodations are independent contractors and not agents or employees of Big League Tours or its Representatives.

Big League Tours does not control such websites and is not responsible for their contents or Travelers’ use of them. Big League Tours’ inclusion of hyperlinks to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with those operators or Suppliers.

Payment

Big League Tours requires a $500 deposit per Traveler at the time of booking in order to make the reservation (the “Deposit”). The final payment is due 120 days prior to the confirmed arrival date.

Cancellations and Refunds

Big League Tours requires written notification of cancellation pursuant to the notice provision contained herein. Cancellations 121 days or more prior to confirmed arrival date are eligible for a full refund. Cancellation notifications received 91-120 days prior to confirmed arrival date are subject to a cancellation fee equal to the initial deposit. Cancellations received 61-90 days prior to confirmed arrival date are penalized at 50%. Cancellations received less than 60 days prior to confirmed arrival date are penalized at 100%.  

If one or more Travelers cancels their trip and such cancellation alters the room requirements of the remaining Travelers, Travelers still traveling may be required to pay a revised rate. Big League Tours regrets that it cannot make exceptions for personal emergencies. Big League Tours recommends that Travelers consider purchasing tour cancellation insurance.

All travel documents, if issued, must be returned to Big League Tours prior to any refund being issued.

There shall be no refunds given for any unused travel services or any portion thereof.

Big League Tours reserves the right to cancel any tour at its discretion. In the event that a tour is cancelled by Big League Tours, for reasons other than a Force Majeure Event (below), all Travelers booked on that tour will receive a refund of the Deposit or any other payments made. Travelers may choose to transfer their payments to another Big League Tours tour within the same tour season if desired.  Big League Tours is not responsible for any payments made by the Traveler to other entities such as, airlines, car services, travel agents, etc. 

Documentation and Personal Identification

It is the responsibility of each individual Traveler to obtain the documentation required for their trip such as passports, visas, birth certificates, and photo identification. Travelers entering the United States and Canada are required to show proof of citizenship for entry. Those Travelers denied entry at any border will not be entitled to any refund.

Hotel Accommodations

Travelers agree to be responsible for all incidental charges incurred in excess of those covered by the package. Incidental charges can include food, beverages, telephone use, internet use, parking fees, and other hotel charges. All hotels require a credit card or deposit for incidental charges at time of check-in. Hotels expect departing guests to vacate rooms by 12 noon and arriving guests to check-in later than 3 pm to allow for cleaning and maid service. Host hotels do their best to minimize inconvenience and store luggage if you arrive early or need to depart late. Big League Tours reserves the right to substitute confirmed hotels with comparable accommodations at either its own or the hotel’s discretion. Accommodations are subject to availability.
