Tour departure date is calculated as three days prior to the published tour start date.
Reservation means the day you sign up for the tour and pay the deposit.
Trip price is calculated as the entire amount owed, including upgrades.
COVID Cancellations
For tours where borders may close to travelers, we will be reviewing trips at 65 days but no later than 35 days prior to departure (or closer as the situation changes) to determine if it is feasible to run the trip. In the event your trip is postponed, we will place 100% of your trip funds on account to use for a future date.
We will cancel a tour if local, state, or federal authorities prohibit us from entering the country due to COVID-19. Under those circumstances, we will attempt to refund everyone in full (minus a 3% processing fee if paid by credit card online).
