If you have purchased medical protection, either from Hanover Holiday Tours or your Travel Agent, be sure to call the 24 hour travel assistance line within the time specified on your policy should you need medical assistance. Failure to contact the assistance provider may result in the compensation being declined or substantially reduced. If you wish, please ask your tour director for assistance.

RULES/ALLERGERIS
For the comfort of all our passengers we do not allow smoking on our motorcoach. Passengers should also be advised that due to transportation laws, there is absolutely no consumption of alcoholic beverages on board the motorcoach. As many people suffer from a growing list of allergies, some who suffer very severely, we are asking all of our clients to
refrain from using items that may affect a person with allergies. This includes perfume, cologne, peanuts, etc. We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
