TOUR NOTES
T-Mobile Park
TOUR POLICIES
The Toronto Blue Jays: The Blue Jays are a Canadian
professional baseball team based in Toronto. They
compete in the Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member
club of the American League (AL) East division. They are
the only Canadian team in the MLB. The Toronto Blue
Jays have won two World Series Titles (in 1992 and 1993),
two AL pennants (1992 and 1993), and have clinched the
American League East Division 6 times.
Seattle Mariners: The Mariners are an American
professional baseball team based in Seattle. They
compete in MLB as a member club of the American
League (AL) West division. The club has not made a
World Series appearance, but has won the AL West
three times (1995, 1997, 2001). The Mariners tied the
MLB single-season wins record in 2001 with 116 wins,
but ended up losing to the New York Yankees in the AL
Championship Series during that postseason run.
T-Mobile Park: The Mariners’ home ballpark is located
in the SoDo district of Seattle and is a retractable roof
stadium with a seating capacity of 47,929. Previously
called “Safeco Field” for 20 years, T-Mobile Park
is renowned for its picturesque location near the
waterfront, offering stunning views of the Seattle skyline
and Puget Sound. Come and experience the exhilarating
atmosphere of a Major League Baseball game as the
Seattle Mariners play the Toronto Blue Jays.
Payments: A deposit of $300 per person is requested
at time of booking and balance is due May 16, 2024. By
paying the deposit, you agree to the Terms & Conditions,
Activity Level and Cancellation Policy outlined. Payments
can be made by online banking or cheque (1.5% discount
on tour fare), or by Visa or Mastercard.
Cancellation Policy: Up to April 16, 2024, your tour
payments will be refunded less an administrative charge of
$50 per person. From April 17 to May 16, the cancellation
charge is $150 per person. From May 17 to June 3, the
cancellation charge is 60% of the tour fare. After June 3,
there is no refund.
Itinerary and Fare Changes: Due to continuing after
effects of the pandemic, sometimes we are notified about
changes to the itinerary prior to departure and sometimes
during the tour. We do our best to substitute a similar
service if something cancels, but occasionally the only
alternative is to provide a refund for the missed activity.
Please note that if we are forced to cancel a component
of an extensive tour due to an issue beyond our control,
the current penalties still apply if you choose to cancel the
entire tour. Fuel surcharges and changes to taxes, currency
exchange or other tour costs can occur at any time,
therefore Wells Gray Tours reserves the right to increase
fares due to such changes up to departure.
Game Delays or Cancellations: Baseball games can
be delayed, postponed, cancelled, or rescheduled for
a variety of reasons that are beyond our control. Ticket
refunds may not be possible, and the itinerary may
change as a result. Viewing of batting practice is held
at the discretion of both teams and can be cancelled
at any time.
Food Allergies: You must notify us no later than at final
payment if you have a food allergy. An allergy causes
medical distress, a preference does not. Unfortunately,
restaurants cannot accommodate food preferences.
Travel Insurance: A Comprehensive Insurance policy
is available through Wells Gray Tours and coverage is
provided by Travel Guard. Policies purchased at deposit
include a waiver of the pre-existing condition clause for

Tour Size 30
This tour is limited to 30 participants, making it a more intimate travel experience.
Activity Level 2
Moderate Activity: As a traveller you like a variety of activities and walking up to 2 km with
breaks such as a guided walking tour is very doable for you without assistance. There will
probably be stairs to climb or descend to get to your stadium seats. The Underground Tour option has many
stairs and uneven walkways. You may bring a cane or walking poles if needed. The coaches cannot carry a
scooter or motorized wheelchair. The tour director and driver have many responsibilities, so please do not expect
them, or your fellow travellers, to provide ongoing assistance. If you are not capable of keeping up with the group
or require frequent assistance, the tour director may stop you from participating in some activities or some days
of the tour. In extreme situations, you may be required to leave the tour and travel home at your own expense;
travel insurance will probably not cover you.
Offices are open weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm. Book an appointment or walk-in and visit us.
ACCOMMODATIONS: The hotels named in the tour descriptions
are confirmed at the time the brochure is printed. It is very unusual
for changes to occur, but clients will be notified whenever possible.
Hotel Lists: Your ticket package contains a hotel list, which gives
the hotel name, address, and phone number. You can leave this list
with family/friends so you can be contacted while on your tour.
Special rooming requests: If you wish to have a ground floor room
where there is no elevator, a lower floor room in a high-rise hotel, or
a room adjacent to another traveller, please make this request at the
time you book your tour. Although we make every effort to confirm
your request by passing the information onto the hotels, it cannot be
guaranteed.
Class of Room: Our choice of accommodation is in the deluxe to
first class range. We try to strike a happy medium by maintaining a
high standard of hotels while keeping a close eye on costs. Most
hotels we use are members of the National Tour Association or
approved by the Canadian or American Automobile Association.
AAA rating is usually ♦♦♦ or better.
ROOM PARTNERS: Our reservation system tracks partner requests,
and you can add your name to our partner request list, or we can
provide you with the name and phone number of a possible partner.
Together you can decide if you are compatible and would like to
travel together.
SINGLES: Some hotels limit the number of single rooms assigned to
each group, so people travelling alone should make reservations
early. On a full tour, singles are requested to sit with other singles on
the coach, so that travelling companions can sit together.
SEAT ROTATION: This is mandatory on all tours, and your tour
director will describe the pattern and the frequency of the moves. For
fairness to other clients, exceptions will not be made.
BOARDING PASS: Your ticket package contains a boarding pass
which we request you fill out and give to the tour director upon
departure. This contains essential information that the tour director
would require in case of an emergency. Note that these are shredded
after the tour returns to protect your privacy.
SMOKING POLICY: All motorcoaches are non-smoking, but rest
stops are frequent. If smoking outdoors, please be considerate of
those clients who may have allergies to smoke. Also note that many
hotels are entirely non-smoking.
FOOD ALLERGIES: You must notify us no later than at final payment
if you have a food allergy. Some tours go to remote places where
restaurants may not be able to satisfy all food allergies. Please do not
tell us about your food preferences, as restaurants ignore these
requests. An allergy causes medical distress, a preference does not.
For some allergies, please consider bringing your own snacks or
food items so you are not dependent on what restaurants are able to
serve.
ITINERARY NOTES: Some tours have choices for attractions or
accommodation, and sometimes there are attractions that are at an
additional cost and listed as optional. Please choose these options
when you book your tour as some are limited in space. If you wish to
leave the tour at any time to visit friends and family, you are certainly
welcome to do so. Please ensure that the tour director is informed
and note that Wells Gray Tours Ltd. will not make a refund for any
missed or unused portions of the tour package.
SPECIAL NEEDS: If you require ongoing assistance in any way, you
must be accompanied by a travelling companion who will be fully
responsible for your needs while on tour. Your tour director cannot
provide ongoing assistance. Some tours may not be suitable due to
the level of activity, so please discuss your needs with us when you
book your tour. Please note that coaches cannot carry a scooter or
motorized wheelchair.
DEPARTURE TIMES: We suggest that you arrive at your departure
point no later than 15 minutes prior to the time shown on your ticket.
The first day of a tour usually has many stops for client pick up. Please
turn on your cell phone so the tour director can notify you if the coach
is late.
TRAVEL INSURANCE: Insurance is not included in tour fares, but it
is available for purchase. We strongly recommend purchasing
insurance to protect the non-refundable portion of your fare and to
provide coverage for unexpected events. Our policies are
underwritten by AIG Insurance Company of Canada. Policy must be
purchased no later than the time of final payment. Policies purchased
at deposit include a waiver of the pre-existing condition clause as
relates to cancellation, upgrade, or trip interruption. A detailed
brochure is available. Premiums are always subject to change until
paid as insurance companies can change premiums without notice.
GRATUITIES: Gratuities are at your discretion; however, they are a
significant portion of income for these professionals. Please use local
currency. The following are guidelines:
Tour director and coach driver: $7 CAD per person per day to
the tour director and $5 per person per day to the driver. Please do
not start a group collection. The most discreet method is to place the
tip in an envelope and on the final day either hand it to the tour
director or driver or leave it on her/his seat.
Meals: In Canada and the USA, 15-20% of the pre-tax bill; note:
For included meals, gratuities have been included.
Housekeeping staff: $2 per person per night local currency.
Luggage handling: $2 per bag. Note: Tip for one piece of
luggage at hotel is usually included.
Transfer driver with luggage handling: $2 per person.
LOST ITEMS: Clients disembarking at the end of a tour are urged to
check that they have all their personal belongings with them. Lost
items are usually held in Kamloops or Victoria Wells Gray offices.
CURRENCY: Your credit card is a convenient way to pay for many
meals and purchases. ATMs are easily accessible in Canada and the
USA but may be difficult to find in other countries. You should also
carry some cash with you in the currency of that country for gratuities
and in case credit cards cannot be used.
LUGGAGE: The limit per person is one large suitcase, weighing no
more than 50 lbs., and a small carry-on bag. A luggage tag is
included in your ticket package. The Wells Gray tag is essential for
the efficient handling of bags at hotels. Please attach the completed
tag to your suitcase before arriving at your departure point. If you
are on a cruise, please do not attach your cruise luggage tag until
the morning of embarkation. Airlines charge a fee for checked
luggage on Canada and USA flights. This is included in your tour
fare if the airline allows Wells Gray to prepay this fee, but if payment
is required at the airport, you must pay this directly to the airline at
check-in.
COMMENT SHEETS: We always strive to improve, and comments
from our customers are very important. Your tour director will hand
out a comment sheet during the tour (with a confidential envelope if
desired), so you can tell us what you think. To maintain a high
standard of service, Wells Gray management reads every client’s
comments and discusses any problems and praises with the hotels,
motorcoach company, other suppliers, and our staff.
TOUR PACKAGE: Your tour price includes all items listed in the
“What’s Included” section in the tour brochure. GST on applicable
tours is extra.
Your Tour Experience
PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
Consumer Protection BC Licences: Kamloops 178, Vernon 655, Kelowna 588, Penticton 924, Victoria 65842 Revised March 2023
PAYMENTS: A deposit is required within three days of booking and
is outlined in each tour brochure. If a deposit or balance becomes
overdue and we cannot contact you, your reservation will be
cancelled. By placing a deposit, you agree to the Terms and
Conditions. Payments can be made by online banking or cheque
(1.5% discount on tour fare), or by Visa or Mastercard ($5,000 limit
per person on credit cards). If your cheque payment returns as 'non-
sufficient funds', Wells Gray Tours Ltd. must charge you a $25 NSF
fee.
CANCELLATIONS: The cancellation policy for each tour is described
in detail in the tour brochure. If you cancel after the final payment
date, without paying in full, you forfeit the full deposit paid.
CONSUMER PROTECTION: In British Columbia, Consumer
Protection BC requires that any business or organization that collects
advance deposits from people for future travel must be registered
with the government and must hold those deposits in trust. This
protects consumer deposits in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.
Wells Gray Tours Ltd. is also a member in good standing of the
National Tour Association, which requires its members to carry at
least $1 million in professional liability, errors, and omission
insurance.
BORDER CROSSING: For any travel outside of Canada, a valid
passport is required. Passport numbers and expiry dates are
required in advance for many tours, and this information will be
collected before final payment. Clients are responsible for ensuring
that they have valid documentation for all border crossings. Clients
without valid documents may be detained by Customs Officers and
therefore miss their tour. Wells Gray Tours Ltd. cannot assume
responsibility for portions of a tour missed due to improper
documentation.
ROOM PARTNERS: Wells Gray Tours Ltd. cannot assume
responsibility for added costs due to disagreements encountered
while travelling or for cancellations by one party of a double or twin
accommodation room prior to departure.
LUGGAGE & LOST ITEMS: Luggage insurance is not included in
your fare. Please note that neither Wells Gray Tours Ltd. nor the
motorcoach company can assume responsibility for lost or damaged
luggage or its contents.
ITINERARY: Expect the unexpected. If you are unable to participate
in all aspects of the itinerary, Wells Gray Tours Ltd. will not issue a
refund or provide a fare reduction for any missed or unused portions
of the tour package. If any unforeseen delays, cancellations, changes,
or add-ons happen that are beyond Wells Gray Tours control, (or by
customer choice) there may be extra costs involved that may be
passed onto you, the client, after the trip returns. There is no
guarantee of refunds or reimbursements.
EXPERIENCE POINTS: Each time you travel with Wells Gray Tours,
you earn Experience Points (e-points). The number of e-points you
earn is written on the front page of each tour brochure. Your e-points
will be awarded to you after your tour returns and can then be
redeemed on future tours. E-Points must be earned before they can
be redeemed. 1 e-point is equivalent to $1.00.
PHOTOGRAPHY: Wells Gray Tours Ltd. and its designated tour
director reserve the right to take photographs or videos during the
operation of any tour or part thereof and to use the resulting
photography or videos for promotion on Facebook, the Wells Gray
Tours Ltd. website or for other commercial uses. By making a
reservation with Wells Gray Tours Ltd., you agree to allow your
likeness to be used by Wells Gray Tours Ltd. without compensation
to you. If you prefer that your likeness not be used, please notify us
in writing at final payment, or give a note to the tour director on the
first day.
CHANGES TO FARES: Due to the uncertainties of inflation, fuel
surcharges, taxes and foreign exchange, Wells Gray Tours Ltd.
reserves the right to modify tour fares in the event of cost changes.
COVID-19: Some countries we are visiting may require all tour
participants to be tested for Covid-19 prior to departure and/or be
fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least 14 days prior to departure.
You are responsible for ensuring you meet the requirements for the
countries they you are visiting. Expect changes to the itinerary. It
may not be possible to communicate changes ahead of departure.
FACE MASK REQUIREMENTS: Although it is not mandatory, Wells
Gray Tours strongly encourages everyone to wear a face mask at
airports, in public places, and onboard motor coaches, ships and
airplanes. If you unfortunately become ill with Covid-19, you can still
ride on the coaches in the rear seat, but you must wear a KN-95 or N-
95 mask.
TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS: Wells Gray Tours Ltd. has no special
knowledge regarding the financial condition of any supplier or the
existence of unsafe conditions, health hazards, weather hazards,
political conditions, or climate extremes at locations to which you
may travel. For information about these concerns, we recommend
contacting the Travel Advice Section of the Government of Canada
website at travel.gc.ca. For public-health information, we
recommend contacting the BC Centers for Disease Control at 604-
707-2400 or bccdc.ca. The responsibility for checking and verifying
all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of your
destination(s) and all conditions regarding health, safety, security,
political stability, and labour or civil unrest at such destination(s)
solely belongs to the traveller. Each tour has many suppliers, each
with their own policies or rules which you are expected to abide by
while on their premises. It is extremely rare, but suppliers can close
unexpectedly overnight or declare bankruptcy. Funds that we have
deposited with them on your behalf may not be recoverable and
therefore not refundable to you.
PRIVACY: Information collected by Wells Gray Tours Ltd. for
purposes of the tour or marketing or to assist attending personnel in
the event of an emergency is confidential and will not be disclosed
to third parties.
FORCE MAJEURE: In the circumstances amounting to force
majeure, Wells Gray Tours will not be required to refund any money
to you, although if Wells Gray Tours can recover any monies from our
suppliers, we will refund these to you. Suppliers may choose to
provide travel vouchers or credits in lieu of refund. Wells Gray Tours
is not responsible for a supplier’s failure to pay a refund.

Neither Wells Gray Tours Ltd., nor any of its agents or representatives
shall be held liable or responsible directly or indirectly for any delay,
injury, loss or damage to any person or property, occasioned by the
neglect or default of any person or company providing transportation,
accommodation or any other services in connection with these tours,
or damages resulting directly or indirectly from act of God, sickness,
strike, quarantine, weather, government restraints, machinery
breakdown, or any other cause beyond our control. Wells Gray Tours
Ltd. acts as an agent for its suppliers, including but not limited to

services rendered. The right is reserved to withdraw all, or part of any
tour should conditions warrant and make such alterations in the
itinerary as may be found necessary for the convenience and proper
operation of any tour, without penalty.
