Expectations

Things to remember before making your booking

Traveler Fitness & Participation Guidelines

Our journeys are designed to provide immersive cultural experiences and meaningful exploration. To ensure that all guests are able to fully enjoy the itinerary and travel comfortably with the group, we ask that participants maintain a reasonable level of physical mobility and overall health.

While our tours are not athletic expeditions, they do involve a moderate level of activity typical of international travel.

Guests should be able to:

  • Walk approximately two or more miles per day, sometimes on uneven terrain such as cobblestones, dirt paths, or historic streets

  • Navigate stairs and moderate inclines without assistance

  • Stand for extended periods during guided visits and site explorations

  • Manage personal luggage and belongings during travel days (including airports, train stations, and hotel transitions)

To maintain the smooth operation and enjoyment of the tour for all guests, participants should be able to complete the above activities independently and without assistance from tour staff or fellow travelers.

Health & Well-Being

Guests should ensure they are in good physical and mental health prior to travel and that any medical conditions are appropriately managed. Travelers should not participate if a medical condition may significantly disrupt the experience of the group or compromise their own safety while traveling.

Participation During the Tour

In rare circumstances, if a guest becomes unable to participate in the tour in a way that materially affects the group’s experience or the safety of the traveler, John Shors Travel reserves the right to require that the guest discontinue the tour early. Any related travel, accommodation, or medical expenses would be the responsibility of the guest.

Traveler Agreement

All participants will be asked to review and sign a traveler agreement and liability waiver at the time of booking. We encourage guests to read these documents carefully and reach out with any questions before confirming their reservation.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, or would like to consult with us before making your booking!
