world on our Duniya Dekho Escorted Group
Holiday Tours. Please find below a few of Cox
& Kings suggestions and advice to make your
holiday a memorable one.
Picture Postcard Sightseeing!
To fit in all the must see sights, we structure
our sightseeing tours to suit the itinerary, to
give you a proper overview of any city.
Note:
Panoramic city tour
A view from your coach of the sights /
monuments as you drive past. Some tours will
also have a few photo stops.
Orientation city tour
Walk and see the sights at close quarters but
from outside.
Visit
Enter the site / monument and spend time in
the place.
SHOP TILL YOU DROP !
A treasure trove awaits savvy shoppers. See
first hand where some of the worlds most
exclusive products are made. Great gifts and
souvenirs like Papyrus, Carpets, Ceramics,
Handicrafts, Perfume, Crystals, Venetian Glass,
Spices, are yours at great prices.
Tour Manager
We request you to kindly co-operate with your
Tour Managers and abide by their instructions
for a successful and a memorable tour.
Professional Guides
Theres no substitute for a little local flavour,
so we employ English Speaking local guides
who provide detailed insights in specific cities,
thereby complementing your Tour Manager.
Coaches
Since most of your travel in different tours
around the world will be by road, for your
comfort we have carefully chosen airconditioned modern coaches for travel.
However in the UK air-cooled coaches are
used. There are long drives from one city to
another and we provide frequent convenience
stops to ensure that you have an opportunity
to smoke, stretch your legs, or use the rest
rooms facilities.
In the USA on certain days the journeys are
over 8 to 10 hours and in Europe, the average
travelling time by coach is approximately
8 to 10 hours or more.
Some of the motor coaches are equipped with
in-built emergency washroom facilities. The
word emergency is stressed upon because
these facilities are not designed to be used as

essential that the itineraries, schedules and
timings are strictly adhered to by you so as to
ensure that all the services can be duly provided.
If you or any of your co-passengers miss any
service due to unpunctuality, there would be
no refund for the same. This shall be applicable
even on occasion when you are affected by your
co-passengers lack of punctuality.
Tipping
Tipping is a way of life everywhere. Since
your coach driver spends a large part of the
day driving you safely, loads and unloads your
luggage onto the coach; it is customary to tip
him. It is mandatory that you tip Euro 3/- in
Europe and USD 2/- in USA per person per
day to the coach driver / porterage at hotel
if required. Euro 2/- in Eur ope or USD 2/- in
USA per person to each local guide. Refer to
the below table:

Local Guide
Note:
If travelling on your own after the tour ends,
the responsibility to reconfirm air tickets
would be yours.
Taxes
The tour price does not include airport,
government taxes and fuel charges or any
other taxes that may be levied, unless
specified otherwise.
Arrival / Departure Transfers
As other members of your group would be
flying from different hubs from India, you
would be required to wait for some time so
that they can join you at the arrival area as
common airport pick-up facility is provided for
the entire group. Also in view of the common
airport drop facility provided for your group,
you would be required to travel to the airport
along with other group members even though
your flight time is later than other members
of your group.
Things To Carry On Tour
In general, carry 4 to 5 pairs of casual
clothing like jeans, trousers, shorts, T-shirts,
shirts, Punjabi dresses, sarees, swimwear,
comfortable walking shoes and a formal attire
for occasions like a Gala Evening Dinner,
Captains Dinner and Casino visit. In Europe,
Australia and New Zealand you will need
to additionally carry thermal wear / warm
clothing like woollen sweaters / pullovers,
shawls, warm socks, warm jacket, stockings,
gloves and a wind cheater. In USA, Buffalo
& San Francisco can be comparatively
cooler than other cities. Carry some woollen
pullovers / shawls.
Baggage Information
We recommend an overnight bag with the
bare essentials for the overnight stays in
some hotels.
Airline Baggage Allowance
Economy class passengers may carry upto
20 kgs of check-in baggage per person and
one piece of hand luggage not more than
5 kgs. For USA, economy class passengers
may carry upto 2 pieces of check-in baggage
per person each weighing not more than
Note:
Airline rules regarding baggage keep
changing. All your baggage will be screened
and possibly hand-searched as part of the
security measures.
Travellers may carry limited quantities of
liquids, gels or pastes in containers not
exceeding 3 oz. or 90 ml. The containers must
be carried in a separate clear plastic, ziptop or re-sealable bag that does not exceed
20cm x 20cm. At the airport, the plastic bag
must be removed from the cabin bag and be
x-rayed separately.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR
DOCUMENTS AND POSSESSIONS
All guests will have to take the risk and
responsibility of all their baggage, belongings,
currency, valuables, documents and personal
effects (collectively baggage) at all times
during the tour, whether during travel on the
airline or during your stay in hotel or during
travel in coaches, while on excursions or
otherwise.

Cox & Kings Duniya Dekho
Pearls of wisdom
If you forget to carry or if you lose essential
travel documents such as passport, visa, tickets
etc., you may be compelled to curtail the tour
and you may have to incur extra expenses, for
which you alone shall be responsible. Cox &
Kings shall not be responsible or liable for any
loss or damage in respect of your baggage
etc. or their contents whether due to theft,
accident, negligence or otherwise; and for
any cancellation or curtailment of your tour
compelled by any such loss of baggage etc.
And we shall pay no compensation or refund
to you. It is advisable that you do not carry
valuables on the tour. However, if you carry
any valuables, we recommend that you use all
available facilities to keep them secure during
your tour. In this regard, some hotels provide
Safe Deposit Lockers (which may be charged
separately). In case of airlines, we recommend
that you declare your valuables to the airline
at the time of check-in and pay an additional
charge, as may be stipulated by the airline,
to make the airline responsible for valuables.
Without such declaration, airlines can invoke
limitation of liability protections provided in
international conventions and laws.
If your baggage is lost or misplaced at any
time during the course of your tour, it is
your responsibility to take all appropriate
actions to file complaints with the
concerned authorities, including police,
airline office etc.
Please understand that as the Tour
Manager is responsible for the whole
group of tour participants, he may not
be in a position to escort you to lodge a
complaint with the authorities, as it could
compromise the convenience and time of
the group. Furthermore, tour managers
/ assistants / escorts are assisting the
tourists throughout the tour and are not
responsible for tourists baggage or any
kind of personal belongings.
On the entire tour the tourists have to be
responsible and carry the baggage on their
own. Instructions as well as information of
the tour are to be followed in the group
tours and the tour manager / company is
not responsible for any instructions not
followed / overruled by the tourists and / or
its consequences.
Travel Documents
You should carry your Cox & Kings service
vouchers, hotel contact list, airline tickets, your
passport, passport-sized photographs, overseas
travel insurance policy, emergency contact
numbers, travellers cheques / foreign exchange
pre paid card, etc. with you.
Please carry a photocopy of all the documents
listed above including valid visa pages, which
are to be kept separately from the original.
Example: photocopy in your suitcase and the
original passport with you on person.
6
Important:
Keep one set of these documents with your
family / relatives in India
Carry one set with you on the tour in
your handbag.
Carry one set with you on the tour in your
suitcase / check-in baggage.
This is necessary should you lose or misplace
any of your documents whilst on tour. If you
are carrying Travellers Cheques, please keep
the purchase receipt in a safe place, away from
the original Travellers Cheques. Your passport
is required as identification to encash your
travellers cheques. Most credit cards and US
Dollar travellers cheques are widely accepted.
PASSPORT REQUIREMENT
Bring the original passport at the time of
booking. The passport must be valid for at
least 6 months (For Malaysia 9 months) after
the date of your return to India. All passports
should have sufficient number of blank pages
for the required visas. The passport and
the pages inside should not be damaged /
stapled / soiled / torn etc. Embassies /
Consulates of few countries do not accept
passports for visa processing if your passport
is valid for more than 10 years. Also, for some
countries the issue date on your passport
should be after 01.04.2011
Visas
Please ensure you have the appropriate visas
for going on the tour. Applying well in advance
is always beneficial. In fact, in the current
scenario it would be far more prudent to furnish
all documents at least four months before the
departure date to avoid disappointments.
At the very least, it is your responsibility
to promptly furnish to us all documents required
for application of your visas etc. latest by
60 working days before the departure date.
Given the security concerns and the overcautious approach adopted by embassies and
consulates, visa processing can take quite long.
The processing time for visas varies according
to the tour you have selected which depends
on the number of countries you wish to visit.
Embassies / Consulates are located in various
cities and may require longer processing
time. We assist you in preparing and submitting
the visa application based on documents
provided by you. We cannot take responsibility
of getting your visa granted. Grant /
rejection of visas is the sole discretion of
embassy / consulate.
We only act as a facilitator for obtaining
visas. You may be required to appear
personally before embassy / consulate for
any interview(s) / providing biometrics For
USA, the biometrics and personal interview
will be on separate days which may or may
not be consecutive.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Embassies / Consulates may give you the
Interview dates after one and half months
or more from your application date.
Grant / Rejection of visas is the sole
discretion of embassy /consulate.
Embassies / Consulates do not grant visas
on damaged passports.
You are required to furnish only genuine
documentation.
1. Why is personal attendance
required for some VISAS?
Biometrics: Biometric data that will be
collected are scans of your fingertips and a
digital photograph of your face or eyes. There
should be no cuts, wounds or Mehendi on your
hands when going for biometric scanning.
All UK, USA and FRANCE visa applicants are
required to provide biometric data as part of
the application process. Children under the
age of 5 (UK), 6 (FRANCE) and 14 (USA)* do
not have to visit a Visa Application Centre
to have their photographs and finger scans
taken, but their photographs will need to
be provided with the application form. Each
time you apply for a UK and FRANCE visa
you will need to have your fingers scanned
and photograph taken. If you are a regular
traveller to the UK, we recommend that you
consider applying for a longer term visa. The
procedure is simple and quick and should
take less than 5 minutes. Visa procedures

MEALS
Please refer to the itinerary in the brochure / website for details of the meals which would be served to you on the tour. Unlike
an airline, we cannot process a special meal, nor can we guarantee a special diet. The same is at the sole discretion of the service
provider. We do not assure special meals or special timings or extra halts for infants, children, or passengers with diabetes,
cholesterol, high blood pressure or any other condition. We cannot guarantee quantity of the food as may be provided by the service
provider. If you have any such special requirements arising from medical conditions or from the needs of your children or otherwise,
it would be advisable to travel on a customized tour and coach tours are not recommended.
We, however, reserve the right to change the meal arrangement, where circumstances compel us to do so. At some places a meal
allowance may be paid to you at our discretion to enable you to have a meal of your own choice.
HOTELS
The Company selects hotels for your stay at locations, which give comfort and value for money. For various reasons, such as reducing
the overall traveling time on the coach for the following day, the hotels may be chosen away from the city centre. Unlike other
countries, most hotels in Europe do not have air conditioners or fans. Modern facilities such as attached toilets with showers /
bathtubs are provided. We cannot guarantee the availability of adjoining rooms / interconnecting rooms / non-smoking room /
rooms on the same floor etc. Hotels in Europe may / may not have room service facilities.
The check in time is usually 2 p.m. and check out time is usually 11 a.m. In Australia, the check in time is 12 noon and the check out
time is 10 a.m. In certain hotels like Genting Resorts, though the check in time is 2:00 pm, you may have to wait for some hours till
the rooms are cleared. The same is subject to change from time to time.
If you seek a change in rooming while on a tour, the same will be subject to availability and you will need to pay any additional
charges as may be applicable.
Please note that hotels in Europe and Far East can have exceptionally small rooms unlike what you may have experienced in
other countries.
Single Accommodation
In case you book on a single occupancy basis, you will have to pay a single room supplement unless another tour participant is
willing to share your room. You shall also be liable to pay the single room supplement if earlier having booked on a shared room
basis, you later have to take the room on single occupancy basis since your intended room partner has either dropped out of the
tour for any reason or since you and / or your room partner are no longer willing to share a room.
Note that the single room supplement will be charged in all cases where a booking on a shared room basis has to be changed to
single room basis including the following:
(i) Intended room partner was arranged by you.
(ii) Intended room partner was arranged by us for you.
(iii) No room partner was found available for you.
Double (Twin) Accomodation
A double room has either a single queen-size bed or two separate beds. If you request for a room with a queen-size bed, the
same would be provided subject to availability as most of the hotel rooms in Europe & Far East are twin-bedded. In case of nonavailability of a room with a queen-size bed, a twin bedded-room would be given.
Triple Accomodation
We recommend a maximum of only three persons in one room. Triple rooms are usually no larger than twin rooms and the third bed
is often a rollaway bed or cot placed in a twin room.
Children Accommodation
A child travelling for whom without a bed charge has been paid would not be entitled to a separate bed in the hotel. In case with
bed charge has been paid for the child and you decide not to avail such facility whilst on the tour, you would not be entitled to any
refund. In case you decide to seek an extra bed for the child booked on without bed basis on the tour, this will be provided subject
to availability and you shall be bound to pay any additional amount charged by the concerned hotel directly.
PRE / POST TOUR / ADD ON EXTENSION PACKAGES
Pre / post tour accommodation / add on packages or extensions are available to you at special rates. You must ensure that you
request your travel agent or your sales officer for the same at the time of booking your tour.
COACH AND SEATING
We generally engage air-conditioned / air-cooled luxury coaches but we are not responsible if the air-conditioning equipment
malfunctions for any reason. On group tours, you are not allotted seat numbers as a seat rotation system is followed. You must follow
the instructions of the Tour Manager in this regard.
The average traveling time by coach is approximately 8 to 10 hours or more a day in Europe and in U.S.A. under normal road
conditions. Comfort stops are provided every 2-3 hours, after appropriate intervals. The foregoing timings are indicative only. Though
some of the coaches are equipped with emergency washrooms, such a facility can be used only in case of a dire emergency.
The coach drivers are bound by restrictions concerning maximum driving hours per day and per week and the itineraries are planned
with regard to the same. It is therefore essential that the itineraries, schedules and timings are strictly adhered to by you so as
to ensure that all the services can be duly provided. If you or any of your co-passengers misses any service due to unpunctuality,
we shall not be liable to refund any amount. Further, we shall not be liable to refund any amount or pay any compensation /
damages for any change in itinerary or for missing any service due to the unpunctuality or actions of your co-passengers or for
any delays due to any reasons.
Please note that smoking, consumption of alcoholic beverages and snacks is strictly prohibited on coaches. Please keep the coach
clean to avoid discomfort to yourself and other tour participants.
Please take care not to leave behind any property in the coach while disembarking. The Company would not be responsible or liable
in case of loss of such property under any circumstances.
BAGGAGE ON COACH
Please note that porterage is not included in the tour price. It is often difficult to get porters to assist as hotels may or may not
provide this service and it is therefore advisable to use bags with wheels. Coaches have limited space for luggage and hence we permit
only one suitcase and one handbag per person in the coach. The suitcase should be of a size of 158 cms. (width + length + height).
AIRLINES
We shall in no circumstances whatsoever be liable to you or any person travelling with you, for loss of baggage by the airline, failure
to provide meal of your choice by the airline, denied boarding or down-gradation due to overbooking or any other reason, failure
on the part of the airline to accommodate you despite having confirmed tickets, quality or quantity of meals offered by the airlines,
flight delays or rescheduling, flight cancellation, changes of flight schedule or routing, change of airline mentioned at the time of
booking etc. In these circumstances, we will not be liable for the injury, loss or inconvenience suffered by you but you will be free
to pursue your remedies against the concerned airline.
BAGGAGE ON AIRLINE
Airlines have restrictions on the kind of baggage, number and weight of baggage that you can carry and you will need to carefully
read and understand the rules and regulations of the airline, in this regard.
Typically, weight restrictions on baggage for Economy Class is 20 Kg, for Business Class 30 kg and for First Class is 40 kg and one
hand bag (cabin luggage) not exceeding 7 kg per person except for flights to USA and Canada, where the passengers are permitted
to carry two pieces of checked-in baggage and one hand bag. In the case of low cost carriers are used by the Company during the
tour, the permitted baggage allowance may be lower than what is mentioned above.
Baggage is not included for internal flights in USA. One needs to pay for every piece of baggage checked in. The charges vary from
USD 25 to USD 35 per bag. Please check with our sales staff for correct details.
Please note that every airline has a different set of rules and regulations regarding the weight restrictions and furthermore, airlines
keep changing the rules quite frequently. Hence, you are requested to please check the updated baggage rules of the individual
airlines, with whom the ticket is booked.
We are not liable / responsible, in any manner, if you are unable to carry any baggage or if you have to pay any extra-charges due
to restrictions imposed by the airline. You shall be liable to pay all such charges directly to the airline. Also, we are not liable /
responsible for any loss or damage to baggage while it is in the custody of the airline.
