Your overseas destination has a different electrical current (220V) and outlets. Therefore, you will want to consider your electrical converter/adapter options in order to protect your devices.
A converter is needed when you need to change the voltage in a foreign country (220V-240V) to match the voltage in your device (typically 110V).
An adapter simply ‘adapts’ the shape of your plug to fit the different-shaped wall sockets in foreign countries. It does NOT change the electrical voltage!
Many modern travel gadgets are already dual-voltage and require just an adapter. Most smartphones and tablets fit into this category. If your device is already dual-voltage, using a converter can damage your device. Always verify the manufacturers recommendations for your device!
Purchase your converter/adapter before you travel; otherwise, it may be difficult to find one that is designed to convert your voltage & plug to a foreign voltage & plug.
Converters/adapters are easily found at stores, pharmacies or online.

You will see the Pyramids from a distance and also close up. However, going inside the pyramids is not a part of the regular tour program. Time permitting, those who wish to go inside the pyramids must speak with the tour guide. Please remember an additional entrance fee will be required.
We recommend you do not participate if you:

Upon arriving at the hotel, you will be asked to label your bag (with a sticker provided by the hotel) with your hotel room number. The porters will then bring your bag to your hotel room. Your will be responsible for your carry-on.
We have used many airlines, depending on your destination.
Hotel rooms are European First Class or better. Each room will have a private bath, TV, and phone. Most hotels do not provide washcloths, so you may want to bring your own but do not leave them in the bathroom as the staff will whisk them away into the laundry and you will probably never see them again.
While EOT will try to match you with a roommate, we cannot guarantee one will be available. Therefore, you should try to find a roommate and notify us of your selection no later than 90 days prior to departure. If no roommate can be found, you will receive an invoice for the single room supplement charge(s) as listed in the Fine Print under Accommodations. This notification may come as late as 30 days prior to your departure.
It is the airline's responsibility to get you to your final destination as quickly as possible. However, you must call EO's office with your new flight information so we can inform our overseas office of your new arrival time. Failure to call EO with this information means there will be no one overseas to greet you when you arrive! Be sure to contact our office when you have your new flight information so we can arrange to meet you at the overseas airport.
NOTE: When calling the EOT office (863-648-0383) after 5:00PM Eastern time, listen carefully for the emergency instructions given in the recording. Our emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Call our office immediately, then submit your cancellation in writing. Refer to the information in the program fine print regarding cancellation fees. Beginning at 105 days prior to departure (earlier for some cruises), you will be charged the single room supplement if your cancellation forces your roommate into a single room.
File a claim at the airport before you leave the baggage claim area. It will be the airline's responsibility to get lost luggage to you or compensate you for damaged luggage. We will do our best to follow-up with the airline but the responsibility ultimately rests with the airline. We strongly suggest that you pack at least one change of clothes in your carry-on bag.
Breakfast and dinner are included. Lunches only included when specified. Coffee or tea are served at breakfast but beverages at dinner will be an additional charge.
After going through passport control, you will need to collect your luggage (luggage carts may be free or available for an extra charge) and go through customs. You will be met by an airport representative outside the baggage claim area. Please follow instructions from our representative.
Deposits are required to register to travel. Please see the Fine Print of your program for the payment schedule which may vary from trip to trip. After the the Final Payment Date, a late payment fee of $100 will be assessed. Please note: once the insurance premium has been paid, it is non-refundable.
Flight information will be available approximately 2-3 weeks prior to departure. As you can imagine, coodinating flights for so many people can be a challenge. Please bear with us as we work to prepare your group's travel arrangements.
All flight times are subject to change by the airlines without advance notice. EO is not responsible for changes and/or delays in airline schedules, nor the expenses associated with such changes.
Our personnel will meet groups upon arrival at your final destination and will help with return departures to the US. In most cases, there will not be a representative at US airports.
No. Groups may depart from several of the major international departure gateways throughout the US.
Every effort will be made to keep groups together if they are traveling from the same departure city; however, depending upon the size of the group and the availability of seats on the same flights, some groups may be on several different domestic and/or international flights. You will be on the same tour bus during the entire program.
NOTE: If part of the group is participating in a pre-tour or an extension, they may not be on the same international flights as passengers doing the basic program only.
NOTE: If you depart from a different airport than your group, you may fly on a different international flight.
Every effort will be made to ensure you see the sites listed in your program; however, we reserve the right to alter the sightseeing itinerary and travel arrangements to accommodate changes in local conditions and/or circumstances. If possible, you will be notified of any changes that are made to this itinerary prior to your departure from the U.S.
The itinerary is subject to change in the sequence of days, local conditions, and preference of the guide and host.
