THE GUIDED TOUR HAS FACED MANY CHALLENGES IN OUR 50 PLUS YEARS - MOST RECENTLY THE POST COVID FINANCIAL CHALLENGES WE ARE ALL PRESENTLY ENDURING - NOW WE MUST ALL ALSO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A REAL ID FOR ANY TRIP THAT REQUIRES A FLIGHT. Starting May 7, 2025, when the REAL ID law takes effect, if you plan to fly anywhere in the United States, the State ID you show to security is going to need to have a star at the top, essentially an enhanced State ID known as the REAL ID. It will be required at the airport check-in, unless you have another accepted form of ID, such as a Passport. To apply for a REAL ID, you typically need to present a birth certificate or green card, a Social Security card and two documents that show your address. Our travelers travel with us from all over the United States. Since The Guided Tour is located in Pennsylvania, we are going to highlight the documents needed in PA. Slightly different REAL ID documents may be required when you apply for a Real ID in your state of residence. The documents needed for the Pennsylvania REAL ID include some of the following: • One identity document, such as a birth certificate, passport, permanent resident card or certificate of naturalization. • One document proving your Social Security Number (SSN), such as a Social Security card, W-2 form, 1099 form or pay stub with your full SSN. • Two documents that show your residential address in your home state, such as a utility bill, bank statement, medical bill, voter registration card or other documents. In addition, you may need to provide a name change document if your current name does not match the one on your identity credentials. As an example, you need a marriage certificate or divorce decree if your name does not match your birth certificate. No matter which REAL ID card documents you provide, keep in mind that all items must be original or certified copies, not photocopies. Furthermore, no documents should be laminated. YOU BASICALLY HAVE TWO CHOICES IF YOU WANT TO BOARD A PLANE AFTER MAY 7, 2025, EITHER APPLY FOR A REAL ID OR APPLY FOR A PASSPORT. YOU MUST DO ONE OR THE OTHER ASAP TO ENSURE YOU WILL HAVE THE PROPER ID TO TRAVEL BY AIR BEGINNING May 7, 2025. Please feel free to call Jon at The Guided Tour office to discuss what is needed to apply for your Real ID. In many cases it may be easier to apply for a passport, which will work just as well as the Real ID. Please visit the following website www.dhs.gov/real-id for more information on the REAL ID. This website has a map in which you can touch your state and it will tell you what your respective state is requiring for their REAL ID.

ALL ID’S MUST BE VALID (CURRENT, NOT EXPIRED.) “ON WHEELS” TRIPS (Persons in Wheelchairs, Visually Challenged and Slow Pacers) You will find that The Guided Tour, Inc. has certain trips designated for “ON WHEELS.” These vacations are geared for our travelers who require a slower pace and cannot handle 6-7 hours of walking a day; they may need a wheelchair for long distances, such as walking through a theme park (Disney’s Magic Kingdom, for instance) or use a wheelchair the majority of the time. Slow-pace travelers do not have the stamina to keep up with our typical travelers and require a 1:1 staff to traveler ratio. Our wheelchair travelers MUST be able to transfer with assistance. The Guided Tour does not provide 1:1 staffing for “ON WHEELS” trips. Travelers needing 1:1 staffing (for any reason) must come with their own staff person (often referred to as a Personal Care Assistant – PCA). Every situation is unique, so please call our office to discuss the traveler and vacation desired. Please remember that many of our vacations require a great deal of walking and it is very important that we are aware of any situations which would impact a traveler having the best vacation possible. Prior to every Guided Tour vacation, an application must be completed and a photo attached to it. This form asks questions such as those related to prior vacation experiences, health and diet. It is important that this questionnaire be filled out honestly and completely. It is the responsibility of the traveler, his/her advocate or agency to fill out this form. The Guided Tour, Inc. reserves the right to refuse a traveler for a vacation without it. Any changes to the form must be reported to The Guided Tour, Inc. in writing at least 48 hours prior to vacation departure. The Guided Tour, Inc. reserves the right to return a traveler from a vacation at the traveler’s expense if the form submitted is misleading or incomplete. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MAJORITY OF OUR TRAVELERS FLY INDEPENDENTLY TO THE DESTINATION CITY WHERE GUIDED TOUR STAFF ARE WAITING TO GREET THEM AT THE GATE, AS THEY COME OFF THE PLANE. LIMITED LIABILITY The staff of The Guided Tour. Inc. are prepared to lead a safe and enjoyable trip. As in many outdoor or travel experiences, risk to body or property may be present. Some trips may take place in a wilderness environment, an area without immediate available medical attention, or outside the United States. Participants, or the guardians or agents, enrolling on a trip do so at their own risk and release The Guided Tour, Inc. and its staff from liability for any harm to person or property that may occur. Participants may wish to inquire about specific tour dangers from The Guided Tour, Inc. prior to enrollment or departure and/or seek the advice of a physician. The Guided Tour, Inc. cannot assume responsibility for any medical expenses that may occur if the participant must receive medical care. Applicants are advised to secure their own medical insurance, although some insurance may not cover all situations in the United States or in a foreign country. Each traveler vaca- tioning with The Guided Tour, Inc. (or in such situations, his/her guardian or court appointed representative) by his/her acceptance of the terms and conditions of this document, hereby agrees to save and hold harmless The Guided Tour, Inc. from any claims, liability, costs or judgments arising out of negligent acts or omissions of any independent contractor as defined in the next paragraph. The responsibility of The Guided Tour, Inc. as the vacation operator is limited to the negligent acts or admissions of The Guided Tour, Inc. its agents or employees. Those companies or individuals providing transportation, lodging, or other travel related services to The Guided Tour, Inc. are engaged as independent contractors only, and are not subject to the direction or control of The Guided Tour, Inc. Consequently, The Guided Tour, Inc. disclaims liability for the negligent acts or admissions of any such independent contractor. Although it is an extremely rare occurrence, situations do arise in which a traveler’s behavior becomes disruptive, unacceptable or threatening to the safety and enjoyment of other travelers on a Guided Tour vacation. If this does take place, we will return the traveler to his or her home as soon as possible and without a refund or, if possible, provide staffing at an additional fee. The traveler and/or responsible parties will be assessed whatever charges are incurred. As much as we dislike the idea of sending a traveler home, we believe it necessary because we cannot allow one traveler to ruin the vacation of all of our other travelers and risk our being welcome at a traveler destination in the future. If it is deemed by The Guided Tour, Inc. that the traveler cannot travel home unescorted the care provider is required to send a representative to escort the traveler home covering all additional expenses incurred. In addition, if a traveler becomes ill and cannot return home or requires hospitalization during a Guided Tour trip, it is the responsibility of the traveler’s care provider to provide one on one care for the traveler, escort the traveler home, and cover all additional costs incurred by The Guided Tour, Inc. in relation to the traveler. Unfortunately, our country is experiencing unprecedented expense due to the volatility of oil. The airline, tour, cruise, bus companies, etc. have responded by imposing “fuel surcharges” (Charges may vary by destination.) The Guided Tour has absorbed much of these increases but must bill our travelers for these charges. We appreciate your understanding. 10
