Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Here are the answers to the most frequent questions.  Call us with your specific inquiries.

Q: Can I plan a trip for my family and friends, or my club?

A: Yes!  We would be happy to customize a tour if you have 10 or more interested participants (for less than 10 participants with an up-charge).  We can even plan a tour specifically to your interests- from hiking and adventure to bird watching and rock hounding and everything in-between.  Please see our Custom Group Tours page for more information.

 

Q: Will I be comfortable as a single traveler on these tours?

A: Yes.  Our tours are designed to be comfortable for singles, couples and friends.  Because we never take more than 16 participants per tour and no more than 9 travelers per passenger bus, you will have many chances to make new friends.  If you wish to share your accommodation with another single traveler let us know!  It is very possible that we can pair you up with someone.  All our hotel rooms are large enough to comfortably accommodate two people.  If you prefer a single room there is an additional charge.

Q: How do I make reservations?

A: Please see our Reservations page for detailed instructions on how to make reservations.  If you want to see the prices and dates for all our tours a list can be found at Rates, Dates and Terms.

 

Q: Where can I find the terms and conditions for the tours?

A: Please take a look at our Terms and Conditions page.

 

Q: Are there any discounts available to me?

A: We have a "refer a friend" travel credit incentive program.  If you refer a friend and he/she decides to book a trip through us you will receive a $100.00 credit towards any of our tours, some limitations apply.  Each referral must be a first time traveler with Travel Dream West and cannot be sharing accommodation with you.  Make sure your friend mentions your name when making their reservations.  At the end of their tour you will receive a statement with the travel credit, good for 2 years from the date of issue.  Contact us for more information on this rewards program.   

 

Q: I have young children- are these tours suitable?  What would be an alternative?

A: Our tours are aimed primarily at adults and there are long drives and activities that may not be suitable for young children.  If you are interested in a specific tour please contact us for further information.  We encourage you to take advantage of our customized tours if you are traveling with a group of families.  We offer a wide variety of custom tours specifically designed with children in mind. 

 

Q: I have a medical condition that prevents me from doing certain things.  Can you accommodate me?

A: We will do everything in our power to accommodate you.  Due to the nature of our tours it may not be possible to accommodate certain conditions.  Please contact us directly with questions related to medical issues or disabilities. 

 

Q: What kind of accommodation is offered on these tours?

A: Our tour groups stay at a variety of accommodations with a range of two and three star hotels, most including breakfast and swimming pool facilities.  A selection of our accommodations are chosen for their unique location or ambiance.  Please see each individual tour page for further information about accommodations, or contact us if you have any questions.

 

Q: What form of transportation is used on these tours?

A: A comfortable, custom 14 passenger Dodge van / mini-bus is used for the majority of our tours.  This vehicle is equipped with individual reclining high back seats and arm rests for each passenger, a DVD player, air conditioning and luggage space.

 

Q: How long in advance should I make my reservations?

A: We encourage you to make your reservations as soon as you know of your plans.  Generally we do not accept reservations after 8 weeks before the tour start date, but please contact us if you are in a situation like this as it may be possible that we have additional space available. 

 

Q: How do I make reservations for a specific tour?

A: Please see our Reservations page for booking information, or send us an e-mail at info@traveldreamwest.com for more information. 

 

Q: What happens if I need to cancel my trip?

A: Cancellations result in costly charges from hotels and travel providers. Cancellation fees are imposed depending on how long ahead of the tour date you cancel.  Regardless of reasons, cancellations received fewer than 60 days before departure date will be charged with $50 per person for administration fees. If you cancel within 30-15 days, the initial 30% down payment will be charged for non-refundable expenses including hotels, carriers and other out-of-pocket expenses.  For more detailed information please see our Terms and Conditions page. Please consider buying a trip cancellation or interruption insurance ahead of time. Contact us for more information.

 

Q: Where and how should I buy my plane ticket?

A: Our tour rates do not include air transportation. See your travel agent for flight reservations and airline tickets. It is your responsibility to meet our tour guides at the tour start location on the date and time indicated on your travel documents. Please contact us for help. 

 

Q: What kind of information will you provide for me once I've made my reservation?

A: Latest three weeks before your tour starts you will receive a finalized schedule, instructions on how to get to the tour start location, and information on what to bring.  If you are coming from outside of the USA we are happy to help you with visa information, etc. 

 

Q: Am I covered with any kind of insurance through your organization?

A: Please contact us for further information and available options.
