CANCELLATION CHARGES If you cancel, and we receive your written cancellation (60) days or more prior to departure, a refund less a handling/administrative fee of $50.00 per-person will be made. For written cancellations received less than sixty (60) days before departure, the following per-person cancellation fees will apply, regardless of resale:

• 59 to 30 days: 50% of the applicable gross amount;
• 29 days or less prior, or for non-appearance: the cancellation fee is 100% of the applicable gross fare.

MEALS: Meals that are included in Montana Rockies Rail Tours packages are noted at the end of each tour itinerary.
B = Continental Breakfast
L = Lunch
Lunch is always included onboard the train in both Discovery and Big Sky levels. All meal service is included with Montana Gold. Continental Breakfast included daily. Motorcoach meal stops are on your own except where noted in the tour itineraries.

HOTELS: We pre-register you and distribute keys aboard the coach. We feature quality hotels that are clean and comfortable. Some hotels featured in our national parks tours are heritage properties that pos-sess historical elegance, but they may not reflect current deluxe hotel standards; i.e. no “in-room” telephone, televisions and coffee makers.
While “MONTANA ROCKIES RAIL TOURS” makes every effort to accommodate passengers in the properties featured in the brochure, it is sometimes necessary to substitute hotels of equal or greater value.

BAGGAGE: We handle luggage at the hotels for you. Due to limited motorcoach capacity, each person is allowed one piece of checked luggage plus your overnight carry-on bag. Porterage for extra bags is $3.00 per traveling day, payable to the Tour Escort. Remember, you will have your overnight bag only, in Missoula.

MOTORCOACH: Front seats are rotated on a daily basis so everyone has a turn up front. No smoking allowed in the coach, please. There are fre-quent photo or shopping stops. All coaches have restroom facilities. Complimentary Beverage and Snack daily.

WEATHER: Days are usually warm to hot, 65 to 90 degrees. Evenings can be cool. At higher elevations, expect cooler temperatures.

WHAT TO WEAR: Informal, comfortable clothes are the best. Since tem-peratures in the mountains vary during the summer months, layered clothing is most comfortable, including sweaters and windbreakers for outdoor tours. A jacket is recommended and walking shoes are a must! Dinner attire both on and off the train is informal.

GRATUITY GUIDELINES: Tipping is at your discretion. Because it is a frequently asked question, we recommend the following guideline for superior service.
