Travel Insurance: expenses associated with medical emergencies, tour interruption, emergency medical transportation, accidental death, or lost, stolen or damaged baggage are not included in the cost of the tour.  Information on supplemental insurance is best obtained from your personal insurance agent. IF YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE TRAVEL INSURANCE, WE ASK THAT YOU DO SO WHEN MAKING YOUR INITIAL DEPOSIT.
