FAQ

When should I make my reservation? +

Once you have decided on a tour, we suggest making your reservation as soon as possible to ensure availability. Many of our tours sell out shortly after they are released to the public.

How are air reservations handled? +

Landmark Tours offer group airfare from the Minneapolis/St.Paul airport (MSP). Passengers outside of the MSP area will select our Land Only package. If you would like us to arrange your custom airfare, our friendly staff is available to assist. Please note that air schedules are subject to change by the airlines.

Can I extend my stay before or after the tour? +

Yes. Pre- and post-tour extensions are available for most tours. Contact us for more information if you are thinking about extending your stay.

Are triple accommodations offered? +

Yes. Some hotels offer a rollaway bed at additional cost, although we are unable to guarantee availability in advance, so two travelers may be required to share a queen or double bed. This may not be comfortable for three adults. Contact us for Triple pricing for your desired trip.

I’m nervous about traveling solo. How can you help? +

With Landmark Tours, traveling solo doesn’t mean you will be traveling alone. You’ll share your trip with like-minded travelers who are all excited to see and explore, just like you! On a Landmark tour, you can feel safe knowing the details are covered and you’ll enjoy many experiences that might be difficult to do on your own.

Can you assist in finding me a roommate? +

Of course! If you are a single traveler interested in finding a roommate for the trip, we can coordinate pairing you with an additional traveler if one is found. We will never finalize the double reservation until you have had the opportunity to thoroughly discuss the matter with your prospective roommate.

Why do single travelers have to pay more? +

If you are traveling by yourself, the costs of hotel accommodations are incurred by one person instead of two. Therefore, single accommodations cost more than “double” and “triple” packages.

What kind of hotels do you book? +

We understand the importance of quality accommodations and personally select each hotel with a focus on cleanliness, comfort, and location. We’re proud to list the names and cities of the hotels being used in each tour package.

How many beds are in each room? +

Rooms will have either two queens or two double beds. Although not guaranteed, a limited number of king beds may be available and must be requested at the time of reservation.

What do the hotels serve for breakfast? +

Typical breakfasts include a selection of breads, jam, cereal, fruits, coffee, tea, milk, and juice. Most also include eggs, meats, pastries and yogurt. On occasion, a bagged breakfast or a cooked to order breakfast will be served.

What is typical for an included dinner? +

Dinner will vary depending on our location. Most dinners offer a choice of entrée with selections made at the dinner table or selected ahead of time. In order to accommodate a variety of preferences and dietary requirements, or to facilitate a busy schedule, some dinners are served buffet-style.

How is seating arranged on the motorcoach? +

Seating is assigned and a rotation system is used. Each day our guests will occupy a different seat. You’ll always be sat next to your traveling partner. In order to provide a fair experience for all passengers, we are unable to accept special seating requests and appreciate your participation.

Is there a restroom on the Motorcoach? +

Yes, although we plan our tours so that the typical time between restroom stops is not longer than two hours.

What is the pace of a tour? +

For your convenience, we have assigned Activity Levels to each tour. This is noted on each individual tour page next to the “Tour Highlights” section. Please reference our Terms & Conditions for additional details and an explanation of each level.

How much time will I spend on the motorcoach? +

Each tour day varies depending on the itinerary and the number of miles that are involved. Morning departures generally range from 8:00am to 9:00am. Hotel arrivals are scheduled anywhere from 3:00pm to 6:00pm.

Will I need to carry my own luggage? +

Whenever luggage service is available at a hotel, it will be included. Occasionally, guests will have to wheel luggage in and out of a hotel.

Are airline baggage fees included? +

Due to airline group booking constraints, we are unable to pre-pay baggage fees. This will be the responsibility of each traveler to be paid at check-in. This can be best handled by credit card.

Do I need a passport? +

For all trips outside of the United States, a U.S. Passport Book will be required to cross the border whether travel is by land, air, or sea. We do not accept passport cards. U.S. Customs suggests that your passport’s expiration date be no sooner than six months after your travel ends.

What ID is required for domestic travel? +

All passengers 18 years of age or older must carry a valid driver's license or another federally approved ID such as a passport, active military ID, or Global Entry card.

May I bring a wheelchair, walker, or other walking assistance device? +

Foldable wheelchairs and walkers are welcome on tour. They are not permitted onboard the motorcoach and will be stored in the baggage compartment underneath. If you intend to bring a wheelchair or walker, please notify us prior to departure. Landmark Tours personnel and its suppliers are unable to lift or physically assist guests. If you require assistance, we require that you be accompanied by someone who is capable of and totally responsible for providing the assistance.

Are tips included? +

Tips are included in the tour package for all activities prearranged by Landmark Tours. This includes hotel staff, restaurants, and additional included services such as step-on guides. Tipping for any independent meals or activities will be the responsibility of the traveler.

Tips for the Tour Manager and Motorcoach Driver are not included in the tour package. You are encouraged to express your appreciation for their work and contribution to your overall enjoyment of the trip. The industry average for each position is $6-8 per person, per day.

What will I receive prior to my tour? +

Your Final Travel Documents will be mailed approximately three weeks before your departure. Documents include the tour itinerary, departure and flight details, hotel information, clothing and packing suggestions, baggage tags, and other helpful hints.

Where do I meet the Tour Manager? +

The exact meeting point will be indicated in your Final Travel Documents packet. In most cases, you will meet your Tour Manager at the airport in the city where the tour begins.
