Itineraries

The shows, attractions and meals listed on our itineraries are the ones for which we currently hold reservations. However, changes in the featured performers or availability of attractions, are changes over which we have no control. If changes occur, we will do our best to book shows/meals of comparable quality and to advise you of those changes when they happen.

If you are late for your pickup, you may drive to the nearest pickup location and board the coach. Unfortunately, "No Shows" will not be granted a refund for any portion of the tour. Please refer to the time printed on your original confirmation as that is the departure time.

Registration

If you're filling out the registration form from the book, please mail it along with your payment to Vagabond Tours, C/O Peoria Charter Travel, 5901 N. Prospect, Suite 3B, Peoria, IL 61614. Please make your check payable to Peoria Charter Travel. If you prefer to call us and make your reservation, you can reach us at 309-688-9523, Ext. 130 or 800-448-0572, Ext. 130. We can take MasterCard, Discover & Visa over the phone for your payment. If you'd like to stop in, we are at Junction City, (next to the old Pumpkin Glass), 5901 N. Prospect, Suite 3B, Peoria. We are open Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM unless otherwise posted on our door.

Invoices/Email Blasts

We do require your e-mail address to send you the invoice, itinerary and if necessary, the insurance information. We will also periodically send out e-mail blasts about upcoming trips that need help for them to go. Your Vagabond Escort will ask for these on trips and if you’ve already given it to us, just pass it along to the next person.

Trip Cancellation/Refunds

We do our best to get you a refund however a lot depends on when the cancellation occurs. If you cancel 30 days or more from departure date, we'll refund all monies paid with the exception of the insurance policy; that is non-refundable. Once we make final payment, it depends on what we can get back from our vendors to determine your refund. With this being said, we can't always tell you what you’re going to be refunded as we may have to wait and hear from the vendors first. You may always find a friend to take your place and work out any payments with them on your own. On Multi-Day Trips we STRONGLY recommend purchasing the Travel Protection Plan associated with your specific trip. This would protect your money should you need to cancel for a medical reason. On Broadway Shows & Baseball Games, we have to pay for tickets about 90 days prior to departure so if you cancel you may incur a fee for the ticket if we can't re-sell your seat as they are non-refundable when we pay for them. If we can re-sell them or get money back from a broker we use, then we would refund what we can.

Gratuities

Our Drivers & Tour Escorts appreciate a tip for a job well done. We have envelopes that the Escort will pass out; one for the Escort & one for the Driver on each trip. We suggest $3 per customer for each on a one-day trip and $4 per customer per day on a multi-day trip. They work very hard to make sure you have an enjoyable, safe trip.

We have a policy of "No Smoking / No Alcohol" on the bus. We make stops about every 2 hours for your convenience. Seats on the bus are first come – first serve. Luggage for Multi-Day tours will be 1 Large Suitcase (not weighing more than 50 lbs. per person for underneath the coach and a personal item for the overhead inside the coach.
