If you have concerns about your own capabilities and/or fitness as it relates to your tour, please inquire with our office before reserving a space. By forwarding a signed reservation and/or a tour deposit, you certify that you do not knowingly have any physical or other conditions of disability that would create a risk for you or other tour participants. We reserve the right to require a doctor’s statement of good health. The company’s or tour escort’s judgment shall provide the ultimate determination of an individual’s ability to embark on or to continue a tour. Once a tour has been confirmed, medical circumstances will not be considered as exceptions to our cancellation policy. We assume no responsibility for medical care or for special dietary needs. All participants are strongly urged to purchase trip cancellation and interruption insurance and to consider purchasing medical emergency evacuation insurance. You should check online or with your own insurance agent to obtain policy information.
The itineraries and arrangements shown in our brochure are based on the information available at the time the brochure was prepared and are subject to modifications, additions, and deletions as deemed necessary by Italy Adagio, due to factors such as, but not limited to, weather conditions, changing local schedules, strikes, and logistical problems.
The fee for each tour includes and is based on lodging in double-occupancy or single-occupancy rooms, all breakfasts (except as otherwise noted), specified lunches and/or dinners, specified events (e.g., wine tasting and cooking lessons), transportation during the tour as specified in the itinerary for that tour, all tour-related personal-escort and private-guide fees, and all tour-related museum reservation fees and entrance fees. Not included in the cost of your tour are insurance, wine or other alcoholic beverages (unless specifically provided in the tour itinerary – e.g., tour-related wine-tasting), tips for personal services, phone calls, passport expenses, laundry or any items of a personal nature. Rates are based on twelve to fifteen participants.
Italy Adagio may be compelled to amend prices, and we reserve the right to do so without prior notice. The prices of the tours are based on tariffs and exchange rates in effect at the time of their publication and are subject to adjustment in the event of any change therein. An increase in tour prices shall not be sufficient grounds for any refund of funds paid for the tour.
