If you suffer from motion sickness, you must have a physician’s note to definitely be seated in the first six rows. If you suffer from any other medical condition that requires specific seating, you must present a letter from the physician, and we will try to accommodate you. We cannot guarantee you a front row seat. SMOKING/LIQUOR: No smoking, chewing tobacco, or open liquor is allowed on the motorcoach. Frequent (approximately every 2-3 ½ hours) rest or meal stops afford the opportunities to smoke outside the coach. Some hotels are now 100% non-smoking hotels. Leisure Time will make every effort to notify you of the hotel policy. If a passenger smokes in a non-smoking room, the passenger may be charged a cleaning fee by the hotel. CLOTHING: We recommend traveling light – lightweight, casual, wash and wear clothing, comfortable walking shoes (not new ones), a sweater or jacket to use on the coach, alarm clock, umbrella or raincoat and perhaps a swimming suit. PICK-UP LOCATIONS: We have pick-up locations in Rome, Emerson, and Marietta. We will pick up at other locations if we have twenty (20) or more departing from that area we are notified before final pickup times are set. Please indicate the correct pick-up location for you when you register. Please be at your departure location 15 minutes prior to departure time. Breakfast stops are NOT made on the day of departure unless otherwise noted in the confirmation letter or catalog. PARKING: Leisure Time is not responsible for damage or loss. SEAT ROTATION: Seat rotations are done on multi-day tours. Seat mates rotate together. This allows for everyone to have an opportunity to get to know your fellow passengers. This may vary from once a day to four times a day depending on the type and length of the tour. Passengers will be asked to leave the trip if they refuse to rotate seats. PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: We suggest that you carry some proof of citizenship identification anytime you travel. A passport is required when traveling into Canada or Mexico. The expiration date can be no less than six months after the scheduled date of return. Leisure Time is not responsible if you do not have the proper documentation. TIPPING: How much you tip is a personal matter and completely up to you. We suggest $2-$4 per day for the tour manager and $2-$4 per day for the driver. CHARTER SERVICE AVAILABLE: Leisure Time Charters and Tours has the pleasure of providing charter services as well as tours. We enjoy working with schools, churches, civic organizations, private companies, banks and numerous other organizations in providing charter service and planned tours. Our educational tours have been very successful. We own our own fleet of deluxe motorcoaches, including 29; 47; 52; 55; 56 passenger coaches. Safety is of utmost importance both in vehicle maintenance and staff training. If we can be of assistance, please call us for a proposal or bid at 770.382.7726 or 1.800.261.0491.
