A: A California attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. There are animal law attorneys here who would have the strongest insight into legal issues with service animals, and you could reach out to them at this point. However, from an international law/health care law standpoint, your tour company could be bound by the laws of the country you plan to visit. That could be something not within the control of the tour company. Good luck
