Beijing – Tales of Emperors and Empires

Wake up to the rhythm of Beijing. Begin your morning at **Tian’anmen Square**, where China’s heart beats strongest — vast, symbolic, and timeless. Just beyond lies the **Forbidden City**, its golden roofs and vermilion walls telling stories of emperors, concubines, and dynastic power. Walk through centuries of history beneath carved beams and echoing courtyards. Later, climb up **Jingshan Park**, where the breeze carries a faint scent of pine and offers panoramic views of the Forbidden City’s sea of tiled roofs — an unforgettable sight. Breakfast + Indian Lunch + Indian Dinner

However, in case a client is not satisfied with a particular service, we can take up the matter with the supplier if we are intimated immediately as per the process described in this document.

Similarly, we do not take responsibility for any act or omission of co-travellers or third parties, if it results in injury, damage or danger to the life/limb or property of any Client. As we book services in advance and are bound to honour the commitments as to payment to the suppliers, cancellation of services earmarked results in the Company losing money depending upon the time of communication of cancellation to the supplier and therefore, the cancellation schedule, which is based on the above amongst other factors becomes applicable on cancellation.

In the event of an act or omission of co-travellers or third parties which results in injury, damage or danger to life/limb or property of client where-in the situation is such that the person cannot continue to travel because of the reason He/She is the victim of the happening or, a relative/friend traveling along with is the victim, the tour manager will have to continue the trip along with the group. However before leaving, the tour manager will ensure that victim/s of the happening or, the one who have stayed back with victim/s will get proper assistance from the local representative to handle the situation.

The actions may be as advised by the local supplier or as advised by the local authorities with prevailing laws of the day being applied. Discrepancies if any with the procedures that are supposed to be followed will have to be settled with the local authorities and we as a travel company will not have any role to play in this connection.

In the event of death of a person who is travelling alone without a companion on tour, the tour manager will continue with his tour along with the group, however will ensure that there is a local person who will handle the preliminary modalities to certain extent and a family member will have to travel to take the procedures forward. We will ensure proper assistance by a local person to the family member who has travelled to take the procedures forward.

The financial implication of such a happening is taken care of by the valid insurance which the deceased person is holding. However it will be the responsibility of the concerned family member to take it up with Insurance agency and we can only offer the required assistance on the same. The family will have to keep themselves ready to take-up the immediate expenses and get the claim later. With Insurance company's regulations on what can be claimed and what cannot be, expenses incurred in taking the service of local person, immediate logistics, Petty expenses etc will have to be immediately paid by the family member to us.

Miscellaneous

Hotels

As the Client would be out sightseeing most of the time and retire to room only for the night, the Company selects hotels at locations, which give comfort and value for money. Hence depending on the day-to-day itinerary, the hotel may be confirmed either in the city or away from the city centre. Most hotels do not have air conditioners or fans. Double rooms in Europe are comparatively small and single rooms are even smaller.

A double room has either a single queen-size bed or two separate beds. If the Client requests for a room with queen-size bed, the same would be provided subject to availability as most of the hotel rooms in Europe are twin-bedded. In case of non-availability of room with queen-size bed, a twin bedded-room would be given. The Company recommends that a double room be shared by not more than 3 persons, as a triple room is normally of the same size as a double room. In case of a triple room, the third bed is a rollaway bed or cot.

A child travelling for whom "without-a-bed" charge has been paid would not be entitled to a separate bed in the hotel. In case "with bed" charge has been paid for the child and the Client decides not to avail such facility whilst on the tour, he would not be entitled to any refund. In case the Client decides to seek extra bed for the child booked on "without bed" basis on the tour subject to availability, then he shall be bound to pay additional amount charged to them by the concerned hotel directly.

In case of a request in writing at the time of booking by the Client for preference of rooms, the Company would make every effort for the same; however, as room allocation is done by the hotel management there is no guarantee in this regard.

Meals

On tour meals, which are as per the menu indicated in the website are served. The Company, however, reserves the right to change the meal arrangement, if circumstances make it necessary to do so. The Company cannot guarantee a special meal / diet for the Client. If the Client misses or refrains from availing any meal arranged by the Company due to his reasons, there would be no refund. Where client makes a request in writing at the time of booking for a special meal / diet, company would make effort for the same, however, the Company shall not be held liable if the same is not provided.

Baggage

The Client travelling by air would be subject to the airline restrictions / limitations on baggage weight / size / number, currently which for Economy Class is 23 Kg and one hand bag (cabin luggage) not exceeding 7 kg per person except for flights to USA and Canada, where the passengers are permitted to carry two pieces of checked-in baggage and one hand bag.

As porterage is not included in the tour price and due to limited space for luggage in the coach, it is recommended that the Client should carry one single suitcase per person of a size of 158 cms. (width + length + height) preferably with wheels for sake of convenience. All baggage and personal effects are at all times and in all circumstances the responsibility of the Client. It is advisable that the Client does not carry valuables on the tour. However, if the Client carries any valuables, the same should preferably be kept in the Safe Deposit Lockers, that are commonly made available in most of the hotels.

Tipping

Tipping is customary (unless otherwise stated in the itinerary / pricing) in all parts of the world for services rendered (e.g. porters, coach drivers, guides etc).

Coach / Sitting

The Company uses air-conditioned / air-cooled luxury coaches. The Clients shall follow the instructions of the local representative in this regard. For Europe tours, average travelling time by coach is approximately 8 hours a day under normal road conditions. Comfort stops are provided after appropriate intervals having regard to the daily itinerary and therefore, though some of the coaches are equipped with emergency washrooms, such facility can be used only in case of an emergency.

Smoking, consumption of alcoholic beverages and snacks is strictly prohibited on coaches. The Clients should not leave behind any property in the coach while disembarking. The Company would not be responsible or liable in case of loss of such property under any circumstances.

Punctuality

The drivers are bound by restrictions concerning maximum driving hours per day and per week, and the itineraries are planned having regard to the same. It is therefore, essential that the itineraries, schedules and timings are strictly adhered to by the Clients so as to ensure that all the services can be duly provided. If the Client misses any service due to unpunctuality, there would be no refund for the same.

Law & Jurisdiction

Law prevalent in India is applicable and as a part of the cause of action arises in Mysore and the Company has its Registered Office in Mysore, it is agreed between the parties that in the event of a dispute or difference between the parties the exclusive jurisdiction shall vest in court / forum / tribunal in Mysore alone having jurisdiction.
