Simply contact our Traveler Relations team and request information about room sharing. We will send you a Room Share Program agreement form to complete and return. This form allows you to specify preferences for potential roommates and gives useful information about traveling with a roommate.

After receiving your completed Room Share Agreement form, you will be placed on the Room Share Program Waitlist. Please understand that this is a waitlist; therefore, it does not guarantee a Room Share match or reservation.

As other travelers express interest in sharing accommodations, we can begin matching you with a roommate. We can complete the reservation process once both matched travelers confirm the room share.

Because of the trust we have built with ministry leaders and artists, they have asked us to exclusively handle all logistics for their travel events—including reservations. Even if an outside travel agent books you at the same hotel, they cannot reserve a spot for you in any of the event programming. Only Inspiration can issue special event materials, including branded name badges that secure your entrance to every concert, gathering and event experience.

For your convenience, Inspiration offers travel insurance plans through Travelex Insurance Services, which can easily be added to your reservation. For important consumer information, disclaimers, and fraud warnings, please visit here.

Governmental and medical vaccination requirements vary considerably for different areas of the world and are subject to change at any time.

We recommend seasonal influenza vaccinations for all guests. Furthermore, you are strongly urged to seek advice from your primary care physician, the Department of Public Health, the World Health Organization (WHO), or the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to identify any specific vaccination or health precautions required for each place on your itinerary.

International regulations for disabilities are very different from those in the U.S. Few destinations have modified hotel rooms and tourist sites are not required to have ramps or elevators.

Most tours require physical activities involving a need for you to be in good health and able to climb stairs without assistance, walk at a modest pace over uneven terrain and be able to transport your own luggage. If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician before booking and notify us immediately. Additionally, if you require assistance during travel, we require you to bring a traveling companion.

Your travel documents will arrive via FedEx 21-30 days before departure. If you need your documents sooner or delivered to an alternate address, please notify our office at 800 247 1899.

Please see a list of travel documentation requirements here.

Please plan to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your international flight departure.

Airport transfers to and from the group hotel are included in the tour package and will be arranged for you if you have purchased your flight through Inspiration. If you have made your own flight arrangements, we will arrange your transfers to and from the hotel as long as you provide us with your flight itinerary at least 90 days prior to your departure.

Under most circumstances, women may travel until their 24th week of pregnancy. Since airline policies vary regarding traveling during pregnancy, please contact our office at 800 247 1899 for further information and policy requirements.

Due to the amount of walking and the in-depth historical lectures given at the sites, we do not recommend this tour for children under 12.

Passengers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent or guardian at least 25 years old and in the same room.

Disclaimer: Due to international regulations, regardless of the relationship of the adult traveling companion, all children (anyone under the age of 18) must have written consent or provide a copy of a death certificate should one or both parents be deceased. This written consent must accompany the child during their travel.

Unless noted in the brochure or event website, the price for children is the same as for adults.

What you pack depends on your destination and the activities planned during your trip. We recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes or sandals, as you'll likely be on your feet exploring. Lightweight clothing such as shorts, loose-fitting shirts, and a hat or sun visor is great for warm weather, while a light jacket or sweater may come in handy for cooler evenings. If you're traveling to a destination with religious or cultural sites, you may need modest clothing to cover your shoulders and legs during visits.

Remember essentials like sunscreen, sunglasses, and a swimsuit if you'll be near the water. For rainy weather, pack a light raincoat. If you wear prescription medication or contact lenses, ensure you bring enough for the duration of your trip in their original containers.

Your tour booklet, with your confirmation, provides more detailed packing recommendations for your trip.

Yes. Luggage allowances vary between airlines and international and domestic flights (and are subject to change). We recommend that each passenger travel with at most one large suitcase and one carry-on. Many airlines charge additional fees for checked luggage.

Please contact your airline directly for applicable and current information regarding luggage allowances and fees.

For more helpful packing tips and travel information, visit the 'Travel Tips by Destination' section under the Resources tab on our website. You'll find useful guidance tailored to your specific trip.

The amount of spending money you bring depends on your personal preferences and travel plans. Most purchases can be made with a credit card, but having some cash on hand is a good idea, especially smaller bills for tips, transportation, and local purchases. You can also withdraw cash from ATMs at your destination, which may offer better exchange rates than currency exchange services.

Breakfast, dinner and some lunches are included with most tours. Check the information for your tour for specific information on meals.

Basic gratuities for the hotels, guides, and drivers are included in the price of your tour. However, you are always free to give an extra gratuity for exemplary service.

Yes. Ironing services differ between hotels. Most have a self-service laundry room with an iron or offer laundry service for an additional fee. Some hotels have irons in the guestrooms.

Your travel packet will include a tour schedule. Once you arrive for the tour, a screen listing the following day's schedule will be in every hotel lobby.

In most cases, participants can use their personal cell phones (be sure to activate international call plans before leaving) or hotel phones to receive calls. In case of emergencies, contact Inspiration Travel at 800 247 1899, and our staff will know the best course of action.

While each day and destination are different, most tours require walking several miles at a moderate pace each day to fully participate in the scheduled events.
