INSURANCE:

We recommend that you purchase short-term traveler's insurance that covers baggage, accident/life, trip interruption, and trip cancellation insurance. Trip interruption insurance reimburses you for certain non-refundable travel costs should you have to return home because of personal reasons or illness. Trip cancellation insurance reimburses you for non-refundable travel costs should you need to cancel your application because of illness or accident. We strongly recommend that you take measures to protect yourself while on the tour.

JOINING AND LEAVING GROUPS:

Our trips start and end at the points specified in each trip description. We will not be held responsible for a participant who leaves his/her trip before its completion. If a participant leaves a trip after the tour has begun, no refunds will be given.

TERMINATION/MODIFICATION OF TRIPS:

We reserve the right to shorten or terminate a trip already in progress if we deem it necessary for the safety or well-being of the group. In the event that a trip is terminated, a refund will be issued to each participant based on his/her share of all unused funds. Refunds, if any, will be made depending on whether or not refunds can be obtained for transportation and prepaid accommodations payments. We also reserve the right to make changes to itineraries (and prices) due to unanticipated circumstances.
