SCOPE/AGENCY. ITravel with Miki does not provide, own, manage, operate, supervise or control the travel services and products that may be provided as part of your trip, such as eateries, museums, events/exhibits, transportation, flights, accommodations (e.g., hotels), cruise, or travel insurance (the “Travel Products”). All Travel Products are owned, controlled, operated, or made available by vetted, independent third parties such as destination management companies, airlines, hotels, cruise lines and tour operators (the “Suppliers”). The Suppliers are solely responsible for the Travel Products as well as any and all benefits, perks, or amenities, including without limitation, resort credits, on-board credits, free specialty dining, spa credits, in-room amenities, etc. The Supplier’s terms, conditions and privacy policies apply to your booking so you must agree to and understand those terms. Your interaction with any Supplier is at your own risk; ITravel with Miki does not bear any responsibility should anything go wrong with your booking or during your travel. Hence, as the traveler, you agree that ITravel with Miki acts only as agent for the traveler in acquiring transportation, hotel accommodations, cruises, sightseeing and other Travel Products, privileges or services for the travelers’ benefit, and on the express condition that ITravel with Miki shall not be responsible for any act, omission, negligence, bankruptcy, insolvency or default of any Supplier, company or person engaged in or responsible for any Travel Products, or otherwise in connection therewith. Please review all documents, including the cancellation policies and terms and conditions of the Suppliers, carefully and promptly as we will not be responsible for any errors. It is your responsibility to review all travel documentation and alert us within twenty-four (24) hours of any corrections.

BOOKING/PAYMENT; SERVICE FEES. When you are ready to start your next travel adventure simply contact us for a complimentary consultation either by email, phone or by filling out the contact information on the website at https://www.itravelwithmiki.com/. Our itineraries take many hours of planning and work to create the unique experience we aim to give our travelers. Booking will be confirmed on receipt of the completed registration form and payment of your applicable NON-REFUNDABLE deposit. After booking is processed you will receive your final itinerary (subject to change as described herein), an invoice with payment information, and other important travel information. The invoice is subject to change until you receive confirmation that your travel is booked. Some Suppliers will require a larger deposit, or payment in full, to hold your booking and you will be notified of the amount required. Deposits and any fees are NON-REFUNDABLE, unless stated otherwise in the terms & conditions of the Supplier.

If you choose to have us book your airfare on your behalf, a NON-REFUNDABLE ticketing fee of $50 per person for domestic flights and $100 per person for international flights will be assessed. If you decide to independently purchase your airfare, you must not make any air reservations until you receive confirmation of your booking. Travelers who independently purchase airfare prior to receiving ITravel with Miki's written booking confirmation, do so at their own risk and are solely liable for any resulting change fees, penalties, or losses related to said booking. Your contract for airfare is with the carrier and subject to its terms, conditions and policies and ITravel with Miki will not be liable for any change or cancellation fees or other additional costs you incur with the air carrier.

After your booking is processed, we will provide you with instructions for payments and all due dates. You must make all payments in full and on time as required by the applicable travel Supplier. Failure to make any payment may result in the cancellation of your travel. In such a case this would be considered a cancellation by you and the cancellation terms and fees as described below would be in effect. Further, you are only entitled to request or make changes to your itinerary as stipulated in the Changes and Cancellations section below. Traveler understands that discounted fares typically involve restrictions and that changing any aspect of the travel arrangements may result in the payment of additional monies in order to accomplish said changes.

Group Tours

Our tours are carefully curated experiences for groups of participants, and as such you are not able to request or make any changes to your finalized tour itinerary. Since some of our trips, including our tours, are purchased as complete packages, you are not entitled to request, and will not be provided with, an itemized breakdown of costs in connection therewith due to the contractual agreements with our Suppliers. Rest assured, our aim is to provide you with a seamless and enjoyable vacation, and we are available to address any queries or concerns you may have about the package or its inclusions.

Any and all fees relating to our travel planning services, including without limitation planning fees, revision or change fees, cancellation fees, and ticketing fees (collectively, “Service Fees”), if any, are NON-REFUNDABLE and must be received in full by ITravel with Miki before any proposal or itinerary is presented.

Please review all correspondence and documents carefully and promptly as we will not be responsible for any errors. It is your responsibility to review all travel documentation and alert us within twenty-four (24) hours with any corrections.

TRAVELER INFORMATION. We bring to your attention the importance of accuracy. Names, dates of birth and gender provided to secure reservations must match travelers’ passports and any airfare and booking documentation. Any minor name corrections advised after airline tickets have been issued will incur fees. Not all name and/or other corrections will be permitted by airlines and may require the purchase of a new ticket. Travelers voluntarily assume full and sole responsibility for any and all risks and/or costs involved with failure to report any errors and/or omissions to documentation. Please review documents carefully and promptly as we will not be responsible for any errors. It is your responsibility to review all travel documentation and alert us within twenty-four (24) hours with any corrections.

PAYMENT METHODS/CHARGEBACKS. Payments will be processed through a secure online system and can be made via major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, and travelers must provide to us a click (checkbox) or signed authorization for every transaction for your trip. Your authorization is a legally binding agreement for us and/or Supplier to charge your card and an acknowledgement and agreement to these Terms and Conditions including the cancellation terms. As such, you agree not to make any improper chargebacks.

In certain cases, you have the ability to dispute charges with credit card companies ("chargebacks"). Before initiating a chargeback, the traveler must send an email to itravelwithmiki@yahoo.com concerning any questions or concerns about our charges. We will work with you in attempting to resolve your concerns. ITravel with Miki retains the right to dispute any chargeback that is improper and recover any costs, including attorney’s fees related to improper chargebacks, and to cancel any travel reservation related to that improper chargeback. The following chargeback scenarios are improper, and we retain the right to investigate and rebut the chargeback claims below, including without limitation:

Chargebacks resulting from non-cancellable reservations, whether or not the reservation is used.
Chargebacks resulting from charges authorized by family, friends, associates or other third parties with direct access to your credit card. This does not include credit card fraud.
Chargebacks arising from inconsistency or inaccuracy with regard to the Supplier’s product description.
Chargebacks resulting from force majeure or other circumstances that are beyond the control of ITravel with Miki or the Supplier.
Chargebacks resulting because you do not agree with the cancellation policy.
Chargebacks resulting because you were not provided with an itemized breakdown of costs in connection with your tour.

SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT IN CASES OF FRAUD, YOU AGREE NOT TO FILE ANY DISPUTE WITH YOUR BANK OR CREDIT CARD COMPANY TO AVOID OR VIOLATE ANY BOOKING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ITRAVEL WITH MIKI OR ITS SUPPLIERS, INCLUDING CANCELLATIONS OR CHANGES OF ITINERARY OR ARRANGEMENTS FOR REASONS BEYOND THE CONTROL OF ITRAVEL WITH MIKI OR ITS SUPPLIERS. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO CHARGEBACK, REVERSE OR RECOLLECT A PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED TRIP PAYMENT, ITRAVEL WITH MIKI RESERVES THE RIGHT TO COLLECT ALL ADDITIONAL COSTS, FEES AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH CHARGEBACK, REVERSAL OR RECOLLECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEY FEES.

PRICE AND RATE CHANGES. The price of your itinerary will be based on known costs at the date of issue of the itinerary. All prices we advertise are accurate at the date published, but we reserve the right to change any of those prices from time to time. Prices include a cost for local taxes that are estimated at the date of publication. At the time of booking confirmation, we will provide you with an invoice reflecting the current price.

However, we reserve the right to add a supplement to your travel prices should our costs of supplying your travel increase, until we receive your final payment. Any increase to your travel price will be as the result of circumstances outside of our control, including without limitation changes in our costs of supplying your travel resulting from changes by our Suppliers, dues or taxes payable locally, currency fluctuations and government action. If our costs to supply your travel increase, we reserve the right to increase the price of your travel and will forward a new invoice reflecting any changes made. Subject to the foregoing, after final payment your price is locked in.

We also reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices at any time before your travel is confirmed. We will advise you of any errors of which we are aware, and of the adjustment in price, if any, at the time of your booking. All offers, incentives and Supplier promotions are subject to availability and may change without notice. You are advised to confirm reservations well in advance of your anticipated dates of travel to avoid disappointment, increases in fares and additional late booking fees.

What’s Included In Your Trip

All tours are subject to the specific inclusions and exclusions as explicitly outlined in your final itinerary. Subject to the foregoing, tours generally include:

Accommodations

Accommodations are provided as expressly detailed in your itinerary and may be single, double or triple occupancy as available. Special requests such as single rooms, lower floors, connecting rooms and smoking preference, must be made at the time of booking (as may not be available). While we will make reasonable efforts to communicate your requests to the Supplier, such requests are not guaranteed and are at the discretion of the Supplier. There may be additional charges for such requests which will be solely the expense of the guest making the request.

Travelers participating in our international tours should be aware that room sizes, standards and facilities can vary regionally and are often different from standards in the United States. This can include difference in bed sizes and room sizes, bathroom amenities, amenities such as air-conditioning and compliance with other standards such as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and wheelchair accessibility. One of the joys of international travel is experiencing different cultures and different ways of life so we hope that you will accept these differences with grace and a sense of adventure.

ITravel with Miki reserves the right, if necessary, to substitute other similar accommodations for accommodations listed on your itinerary. Such substitutions may be made at any time and without prior notice. We cannot be held responsible for over-bookings; should such occur, we will undertake to find similar accommodations in the same area. Such substitutions are at ITravel with Miki’s sole discretion and no refunds will be offered for changes in accommodations.

While we exercise due diligence in the selection of our partners, and several are based on our own personal experiences, some hotel and other accommodation profiles are based on information provided to us by the Supplier. This includes images and descriptions of the properties and rooms. Additionally, travelers should be aware that star ratings or similar systems are based on country classifications and therefore can differ. While ITravel with Miki does its best to maintain current and accurate information regarding these Suppliers, we cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in Supplier descriptions, amenities, or images.

Transfers

ITravel with Miki is pleased to offer transfers (i.e., air conditioned, video and restroom equipped motorcoaches), strictly in accordance with your individual itinerary, subject to additional fees as described in said itinerary. Except as expressly provided in your itinerary, traveler is solely responsible for transfers to and from airports and all other locations/destinations. You must be on time for all transportation. There will be no refund for missed or unused transfers. If applicable, you must provide us your flight information no less than 21 days prior to departure to ensure transfers will be available. If at any time your flight plans change, you must notify us immediately. Failure to do so may result in missing these services and no refund shall be due which results from missing or outdated flight information.

Meals

Meals are included as expressly indicated in the itineraries. Any food and beverages consumed outside of itinerary meals are not included and are at the sole expense of the guest. For safety and liability reasons, ITravel with Miki and its Representatives cannot be responsible for directly accommodating any food allergies, or dietary requirements and restrictions, and is not responsible for any issues or problems associated with the same. We will advise our Suppliers of your request, but we cannot guarantee their availability.

Sightseeing/Activities

Sightseeing trips and activities are only included as provided in the individual itineraries. Any excursions or activities not included in itineraries and done outside of tour times are at the sole expense of the traveler. These trips and activities are designed to accommodate group travel. As a courtesy to others in the trip and/or activity, it is mandatory that you be on time for all scheduled experiences. Trips and activities will begin on time and failure to arrive will be considered a no-show for which NO refunds will be available. It is essential that you keep in mind that trip and activity times are set to accommodate climate, crowd size and best viewing options for our groups. At times, early morning departure times may help create a better experience. Therefore, late arrivals cannot be accommodated.

Changes to Itineraries

ITravel with Miki reserves the right to make changes to its published itineraries which we deem insignificant and are due to reasons beyond our control. In such cases, we will arrange for the substitution of comparable services.

While no changes are anticipated, there may be occasions when certain alterations become necessary. These can be due to religious holidays, national celebrations, or unforeseen events including weather, governmental closures, acts of God, or any other reason. ITravel with Miki reserves the right to change the itinerary due to such unforeseen circumstances or emergencies. Additionally, sites undergo renovations from time to time which can obscure viewing or otherwise change the nature of visiting these sites. No trips will be cancelled due to renovations, although ITravel with Miki may choose to amend itineraries for such sites. These changes will not be considered a material change and will not be considered cause for cancellation by the guest.

If we suggest alternate activities in place of a planned stop or in case of leisure time, such suggestions do not constitute our endorsement. In such a case you will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Supplier of the activity and your only recourse in case of damage will be against the Supplier of the alternate activity.

What’s Not Included

Any items and matters not referred to in your itinerary are not included in the trip price. This can include but is not limited to items such as flights and airfare (international or domestic) not indicated in your itinerary, any transportation not specified in your itinerary, checked and/or excess baggage; passport and visa fees; trip protection and/or insurances of all kinds; any donations, gratuities and tips if not listed on your itinerary; laundry; phone calls; minibar; beverages and meals not detailed in the itinerary; optional experiences; souvenirs; and all items of a personal nature. Additional taxes and surcharges may be collected by foreign governmental and non-governmental entities. The price does not cover costs and expenses, including your return home, if you leave the guided trip whether of your own volition, our decision based on behavior that disrupts the trip, due to illness, action by any government or other reason. This partial list is illustrative and not an exhaustive list of every item not included.

Non-Operation of Group Trips

Some trips are based on a minimum number of participants. ITravel with Miki makes every effort to ensure that trips meet their minimum requirements. However, if the trip drops below the minimum number of participants cancellation of the trip may occur at the sole discretion of ITravel with Miki. In such case, guests will be advised at least 30 days prior to departure. ITravel with Miki reserves the right to change the departure date. We may offer alternative trip dates or other travel arrangements. You may choose to accept these arrangements or to cancel your booking, in which case a full refund will be provided. Any air cancellation will be in accordance with the terms of the carrier and ITravel with Miki will not be liable for the carrier’s refusal to make any refund whatsoever. In such case ITravel with Miki will not be liable for any additional costs incurred outside of the trip prices such as visa and passport fees, travel insurance or any other purchases made by the guest in anticipation of the trip.

Authority on Tour

ITravel with Miki tours are led by a Tour Leader. The decision of the Tour Leader is final on all matters likely to affect the safety or well-being of any ITravel with Miki guest or staff member participating in the tour. If you fail to comply with a decision made by a Tour Leader or interfere with the well-being or mobility or safety of the group or any individual participating in the tour, we may terminate your participation in the tour, and the Tour Leader may instruct you to leave the tour immediately, with no right of refund in whole or in part. We may also elect not to carry you on any future trips booked. You must at all times comply with the laws, customs, foreign exchange, and drug regulations of all countries visited, and you also agree to act responsibly and respectfully during the tour. Failure to comply with laws or customs in any region during the tour, or should you get arrested or detained by government authorities during the tour gives ITravel with Miki the ability to immediately terminate your participation in the tour, and the Tour Leader may instruct you to leave or not return to the tour immediately, with no right of refund in whole or in part. In addition, a Tour Escort will be available on some trips to assist travelers in navigating through the airport and onto the tour buses or river cruises. ITravel with Miki and its Representatives including its Tour Leaders and Tour Escorts, will not be liable for situations resulting in, but not limited to, any delays, missed flights or activities due to a traveler’s untimeliness, inability to keep up with the group, or issues with traveler information or documentation (e.g., misplaced passport, etc.) and will not be responsible for any costs incurred related to said situations. The traveler will be solely responsible for any and all of these additional costs.

CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS.

If you are unable to complete the tour due to a physical or mental inability to keep up with the group of participants, there shall be NO refunds owed.

CHANGES BY TRAVELER. Since changes may be considered cancelled services, additional cancellation penalties may apply. Changes are subject to additional Supplier charges, are based on availability, and may incur additional fees. Changes to airfare or other ticket contracts are subject to the air carrier or other applicable Supplier’s terms and conditions.

In addition to any applicable travel Supplier change fees, ITravel with Miki, in our sole discretion, may charge a change fee in a minimum amount of $50 per change/traveler/booking.

CANCELLATION BY TRAVELER. Cancellation of travel must be made in writing and is effective from the date we receive the written notification. As described above, ITravel with Miki is required to pay all Suppliers well in advance of your trip date. This includes but is not limited to accommodations, meals, transportation, museum tickets, etc. All Suppliers have their own cancellation policies, which apply to your booking. Should a cancellation become necessary, please inform ITravel with Miki immediately in writing at itravelwithmiki@yahoo.com and request a written confirmation of your cancellation. Upon receipt, ITravel with Miki will follow industry procedures for any applicable refunds as outlined in the Supplier’s terms and subject to their review. If you are entitled to a refund, please note that the Supplier is responsible for this refund, not ITravel with Miki. Suppliers may choose to provide a travel voucher or credit in lieu of refund. We are not responsible for a Supplier’s failure to pay a refund or for Supplier bankruptcy or insolvency. Cancellation and change policies for cruises vary by cruise line. Airline tickets are governed by the applicable air carrier’s terms, conditions, and policies, and we are not responsible for any air carrier’s decision regarding refund. ITravel with Miki functions solely and exclusively as a booking agent for the air carrier, that we do not handle or hold client funds for airline tickets, and that we are not the Merchant of Record under the meaning of that term under the Department of Transportation's regulations. Because ITravel with Miki does not hold or handle client funds, you understand and agree that any refund for canceled or delayed flights, baggage fees, or seat assignments must come directly from the airline and not from ITravel with Miki. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the Supplier providing you with a refund, credit or voucher but we cannot guarantee the same. By agreeing to our booking terms and conditions, you acknowledge that any refunds or credits authorized by the applicable travel Supplier at any point after the time of purchase, will be issued in the form of currency in which original payment was made.

In addition to any applicable travel Supplier cancellation fees/penalties, ITravel with Miki, in our sole discretion, may charge a NON-REFUNDABLE cancellation fee in a minimum amount of $100 per person/booking/room.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel protection plan you may be able to reclaim these charges, for this reason we strongly recommend the purchase of a comprehensive travel protection plan.

CANCELLATION OR CHANGES BY ITRAVEL WITH MIKI. If between planning time and/or during actual travel, circumstances require changes, ITravel with Miki and its Suppliers, reserve the right to cancel or vary any itinerary and substitute components of any trip, including but not limited to, ports of call and embarkation schedule, hotels and accommodations of comparable quality, air schedule or surface transportation changes (e.g., drivers and guides), security matters, and/or other events make such alterations necessary. Suppliers may substitute transportation equipment depending on any variety of factors, including the volume of passengers on the trip. Sightseeing trips may be altered as described above. ITravel with Miki cannot be held responsible for any closures, necessary itinerary changes, or curtails for any reason. These changes will not be considered material changes and will not be considered cause for cancellation by the traveler. Normal cancellation penalties still apply to the trip that has been changed. Without limitation to the foregoing, we reserve the right to cancel or reschedule any trip departure for any reason. If we cancel, except in the case of a force majeure event, we may offer alternate arrangements, and you may choose between a full refund of all money paid or credit in that amount for any alternative trip. If the alternative trip is less costly than the cancelled trip, we will refund you the difference. If the alternative trip is more costly than the cancelled trip, you will be required to pay the difference. Guest is responsible for any additional costs not directly booked through ITravel with Miki, including but not limited to, acquiring travel insurance or airline tickets or any other travel-related arrangements not made by us.

NO REFUND FOR UNUSED ARRANGEMENTS. As ITravel with Miki’s prices are based on contract rates, there will not be any refund for any unused portion of your tour. If you cancel while the trip is in progress, there is no refund for the unused portion. In addition, if you arrive late to a tour, any costs required to reach the location where the rest of the group is at the time of your arrival will be at your own expense.

FORCE MAJEURE. ITravel with Miki assumes no liability for, any loss, damage, delay, or cancellation resulting in whole or in part from an Act of God or any other force majeure condition, including, without limitation: natural disasters, fire, volcanic eruption, hurricane, environmental pollution or contamination, inclement weather, earthquake, low or high water levels, flood, landslides, water or power shortages or failures, tropical storms or hurricanes, natural or nuclear activity, riots or civil commissions or disturbances, and any other acts of a similar nature, sabotage, cybersecurity issues and/or technology outages or disruptions, changes of schedules or operational decisions of air carriers, arrests, strikes or labor disruptions, restraint of rulers or peoples, expropriations, acts of terrorism, war, insurrection, quarantine restrictions, government health advisories, epidemics, pandemics (including, without limitation, COVID-19), or warnings or alerts of any kind of nature, government seizures, refusal or cancellation or suspension or delay of any government authority or any license, permit or authorization, damages to its facilities or the travel Supplier and its facilities, or any other unforeseen circumstances or any other factors unforeseen by ITravel with Miki that impacts negatively on, or hampers, its ability to fulfill any of its contractual conditions. In the circumstances amounting to force majeure, we will not be required to refund any money to you, although if (and only if) we can recover any monies from our Suppliers (and we are under no obligation to), we will refund these to you without any charge by ITravel with Miki.

TRAVEL PROTECTION INSURANCE. Travel Protection Coverage is NOT automatically included in the cost of your trip. It is the traveler’s responsibility to protect their purchases. For this reason, Travel Protection Coverage is strongly recommended, and such plan should cover Trip Cancellation or Interruption, Medical Expense, Emergency Evacuation/Repatriation, and Baggage. Travel protection plans can help protect you in the event of loss of NON-REFUNDABLE trip deposits and payments that result from cancellation or trip interruption (due to a covered reason such as injury or illness before or during the trip). It also helps with reimbursement for medical emergency costs (including very costly medical evacuation and repatriation costs), missed connections and baggage loss. Travel protection plans, which may include Cancel For Any Reason coverage, must be purchased in close conjunction with your travel purchase.

ITravel with Miki works with reputable travel insurance industry leaders, Allianz Travel Insurance (International and Cruise Travel) and Travel Confident (Diamond Motorcoach Tours). For your convenience, the links to receive a travel insurance quote can be found at https://www.itravelwithmiki.com/copy-of-travel-insurance for Allianz Travel Insurance, and https://www.itravelwithmiki.com/diamond-tours-vacation-protection for Travel Confident Protection Plans. While we may recommend travel insurance options for you to choose from, we are not liable for any issues that result with said travel insurance options. ITravel with Miki is not qualified to answer technical questions about the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of travel insurance plans and as such cannot evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured's existing insurance coverage. Please note that any and all cancellation fees will not be accepted as part of your claim. If you have any questions about your travel protection, call your insurer or insurance agent or broker.

Certain countries have a requirement for foreign visitors to have valid medical insurance on entry. ITravel with Miki cannot be held responsible for denied entry if a traveler is unable to provide details to authorities of insurance or denial of entry for any reason. Declining to purchase an adequate travel protection plan could result in the loss of your travel cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. You also acknowledge that without this coverage, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs or expenses incurred. If you choose to travel without adequate coverage, we will not be liable for any of your losses howsoever arising, for which trip protection plan coverage would otherwise have been available.

DESTINATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION. Travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. ITravel with Miki urges travelers to remain informed on a daily basis as to current news, as well as to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the United States Government prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations can be found at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html, and http://www.cdc.gov. In addition, you should consult with government websites to ensure that you are in compliance with all requirements for admittance into that country, including COVID- 19 requirements, as well as understanding local laws that govern travel within a country, such as medical tests and tracking. A U.S. State Department list of travel advisories is available at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories.html/. Should you choose to travel to a country that has been issued a travel warning or advisory, ITravel with Miki will not be liable for damages or losses that result from travel to such destinations.

It is the sole responsibility of each traveler to obtain and carry a valid passport, visa(s), inoculations, and all other documents required by applicable government regulations. When travelling domestically within the USA or internationally, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise that everyone carry at least two forms of acceptable identification in order to board a flight, found here: http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/acceptable-ids. Air travelers with identification (ID) that does not meet the REAL ID ACT requirements will have to use alternate ID forms (passport, military ID, or permanent resident card) to pass TSA security checkpoints—even for domestic travel. Visas are required when they apply. U.S. citizens traveling to the United Kingdom (UK) for short visits, tourism, or business, including those just passing through UK airports, will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) if they do not have a UK visa or legal residency in the UK or the Republic of Ireland. You can find out if your international destination requires a visa at https://www.usa.gov/visas-citizens-traveling-abroad. Travelers voluntarily assume full and sole responsibility for any and all risks and/or costs involved with failure to report any errors and/or omissions to documentation. In some countries you may be subject to entry (reciprocity) fees and/or departure taxes/ exit fees which will be collected at the airports upon entry/departure by local government authorities. ITravel with Miki strongly recommends that you take into account that certain countries will not admit a passenger if their passport expires within six (6) months of the date of entry. Many countries require a minimum number of blank pages in your passport book. Non-USA citizens may require additional documentation. Children and infants also require all such travel documents. Minors traveling with one parent, and/or without both parents, may be stopped and not admitted, unless authenticated and verified consent forms are provided to the authorities. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency requires that for groups of children under age 19 arriving to the United States by land or sea from contiguous territory and traveling with a school group, religious group, social or cultural organization, or sports team, may also present an original or copy of his or her birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Naturalization Certificate. Parental or legal guardian consent must be provided to the supervising adult or group leader in writing. Please visit www.travel.state.gov or https://www.dhs.gov/real-id for the most updated requirements for travel documentation.

In addition, certain countries restrict travelers with criminal convictions, even if expunged. Please inform us prior to booking with us if this applies to you and seek separate legal counsel to confirm your ability to travel to your desired destination. We do not inquire about an individual’s criminal record in the interest of respecting our guests’ privacy. For example, if traveling to or through Canada, individuals with a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) record or with judgements for unpaid child support should review current entry requirements. See: https://www.canada.ca for more information. If you are denied access to a country or a Supplier due to a conviction, ITravel with Miki shall not be liable for any losses, expenses, or refunds to you or anyone in your group.

Further, recommended inoculations for travel may change and you should consult your practitioner for current recommendations before you depart. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended inoculations, take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to your trip. Inoculation requirements can be found on the Center for Disease Control website at https://www.cdc.gov/.

The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service provided by the U.S. Government to U.S. citizens who are traveling to, or living in, a foreign country. STEP allows you to enter information about your upcoming trip abroad so that the Department of State can better assist you in an emergency. Registration is recommended and provided by going to https://step.state.gov/step/.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAILURE TO STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS MAY RESULT IN DENIED BOARDING OR AN UNDUE DELAY AT AN AIRPORT SECURITY CHECKPOINT CAUSING TRAVELER TO MISS FLIGHT(S), AND SUBSEQUENT SCHEDULED TRAVEL BOOKINGS TRIPS. ITRAVEL WITH MIKI BEARS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADVISING AND/OR OBTAINING REQUIRED TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION FOR YOU, OR FOR ANY DELAYS, DAMAGES, AND/OR LOSSES INCLUDING MISSED PORTIONS OF YOUR VACATION RELATED TO IMPROPER DOCUMENTATION OR GOVERNMENT DECISIONS ABOUT ENTRY.
