receipts and tickets issued are subject to the terms and conditions specified by suppliers. By utilizing the service of the suppliers, you agree that 206 Tours will not be liable for any change in flight or

our optional travel insurance. 206 Tours is not responsible for circum-stances beyond its control. In circumstances where trip cancellations

resulting from the inability for trip to depart as scheduled, such as cancel-lations due to acts of war and/or terrorism, war, God, or nature takes place, 206 Tours is not liable for restitution. Though every effort will be

made to follow the itinerary, it should be considered as an indication of the tour, rather than a contract of places to be visited. Occasionally local religious holidays, national days, traffic conditions and other events may

necessitate changes in the sequence of visits or the missing of certain visits. We will have daily mass and strive to be in places as indicated.

However, sometimes this is not possible as the site may not be available for Mass or itinerary changes are forced upon us. In this case an alterna-tive site for Mass will be arranged.

level of comfort may be adversely affected by traveling. YOUNG TRAVELERS Travelers who are less than 18 years old on
