CANCELLATION AND REFUND
POLICY:
On most
tours, refunds will be given if cancellations are made at least one
month prior to
the departure date. Please note: Certain tours may
require more notice of cancellation for a refund - particularly when
show tickets,
cruises, rail fare or airfare are involved. In the event
you must cancel a tour that involves a non-refundable ticket, a refund
will only be
issued if the ticket can be re-sold before the departure
date. This cancellation policy will be strictly enforced due to the
payment policies
set forth by
the attractions, restaurants, hotels, and other providers we use on our
trips. For your
peace of mind, we strongly encourage
the purchase of travel insurance
to avoid financial loss.
