GREAT DAY! TOURS & CHARTER BUS SERVICE

Enjoy Traveling With Ohio's Largest Tour Operator!                                         Charter Buses Too!

BOOKING A GROUP TOUR OR CHARTERING A BUS

Step 1:      Review the various group destinations in this book or other literature you may have received from various sources.

Step 2:      Call (440) 526-5350 (a local call in the Cleveland calling area) to confirm that tour is offered on date preferred by your group. Outside Cleveland calling area, our toll-free number is (800) 362-4905 .

Step 3:      Send in $100.00 deposit/coordination charge to Great Day! Tours , 375 Treeworth Blvd. , Cleveland , Ohio 44147 . Be sure to include your name, address and phone number as well as tour destination selected, date of trip, pick-up point, group name, and number of passengers on the form (see inside back cover); form to be signed. (We assume 46 unless otherwise notified, although price remains same down to 40 paying passengers). It is the responsibility of the Group Leader to be sure that the group has permission to park at your designated pickup point. It is essential that if your group has special “needs”, you must tell us at this time. Failure to do so could jeopardize being able to make the scheduled stops and possible disappointment to the group. Having to reschedule times (even for something a simple as a coffee stop) at a later date could necessitate a charge to the group to cover the numerous long distance calls to change the arrival times.  Please call our office if more reservation forms are needed. Buses may be upgraded to 55-passenger models based on availability.

Step 4:      A Charter Order/Confirmation will be sent to you for your review and approval; it will detail the payment requirements. Please review each detail carefully before signing and returning. Cancellation charges and any other applicable refund/charge policies are considered to be in effect based on submission of initial deposit rather than the act of signing the charter order contract.

GRATUITIES

Tips and all applicable taxes are included on all meals, rooms and admissions which are included in the tour price. Tips to the Driver and Guides, as applicable, are left to the group’s discretion. While customary and sincerely appreciated, they are never obligatory. Practices on Casino meal tips to servers may vary.

TOUR COSTS / COMPLIMENTARY TRIP PACKAGES FOR GROUP COORDINATORS

All tour prices, unless otherwise noted, are based on forty-one to forty-six total passengers. Each package recognizes the work of the Group Leaders/Trip Coordinators and includes two free trip packages with forty-four to forty-six passengers per bus (52 to 54 on 55-passenger buses), unless otherwise requested by the group. Group Leader “comps” in effect only if payment for all passengers is made in one check, not by individual checks. The same price remains in effect with as few as forty paying passengers (fifty on a 55-passenger bus); on those trips, there would be one complimentary trip package. Prices can be varied to accommodate any size group or different numbers of free trip packages. On overnight tours where Group Leader elects to stay in a single, that Group Leader is responsible for paying the “single supplement”. Group Leader “comps” also available on our Scheduled-Departure Tour.

LOCAL GUIDES AND ESCORTS

All Group Tours are Driver-escorted for your enjoyment. Many of the tours also include Local Guides whom, we have found, are generally best-equipped to describe their area to your group. Great Day! Tours Escorts are available at an extra cost.

OTHER NOTES TO GROUP COORDINATORS

1)     All tours are based on availability at time of order. While not anticipated, all prices and offerings are subject to change.

2)     No buses will be reserved nor packages set-up until the $100 per bus coordination charge and the signed reservation form are received. To assure motorcoach availability, the Coordinator may place the deposit on their MasterCard, VISA or Discover credit card. Once received, the deposit is non-refundable except in those cases where we cannot secure bus, rooms, or major attractions at the time of receipt of deposit. We recommend booking early. The right is reserved to substitute specific stops, lodging facilities and/or meals based on availability (or other factors) at time of your order or during period prior to trip date. Casino bonuses and show packages including Branson are always subject to availability and change.

3)     Refunds, should they be required, will be made only upon receipt of same from our suppliers less the $100.00 coordination charge. We assume no responsibility for deposits not returned by motels, attractions, casino/hotels or other suppliers.

4)     Group members should be aware that some suppliers, especially certain hotels, have strict policies regarding deposits and may release rooms with or without refunds should payments and/or rooming lists not be received on their indicated “due dates.”

5)     Because of the very competitive rates offered, all trips must have specified number of passengers or the price per person could increase. Should you encounter trouble filling a bus, call our office first and we’ll certainly attempt to work with you to “salvage” the trip for your group . . . before you cancel the tour.

6)     All overnight tour prices are based on double occupancy. Single supplements are generally available. Group Leaders are responsible for assuring that their passengers understand that triple or quad room accommodations are generally based on the hotel/motel providing two double beds or a double bed and a single bed (for a triple). We do not encourage this practice and make no promise that a third bed (or cot) will be provided. Should a third bed (or cot) be provided at the time of arrival, this could be done at additional cost which would be the responsibility of the passenger requesting it.

7)     No responsibility is incurred by this company for travelers not at departure point at designated times. Failure to depart at the scheduled time due to the group waiting for passengers shall leave no liability on Great Day! Tours part for late arrivals, shortened visits or missed attractions. We cannot be responsible for weather or traffic-caused delays; additional rooms, meals are the customers responsibility.

8)     Refunds for passengers who are unable to make the trip will be made based on a review of the variable costs refunded to us by the suppliers. Group Leader is responsible for assuring that all passengers are aware that trip interruption & cancellation insurance is available and agrees, for those on his/her tour, that the customer has agreed to accept the refund, should they cancel, without dispute, whether they have purchased insurance or not.

9)     Any check returned to us for insufficient funds will be charged a service charge of $30.00 per check.
