Where a major change is made prior to departure the Client will have the choice of either: (i) accepting another tour of equivalent or superior standard; or (ii) a choice of specified travel arrangements of a lower standard to those previously booked together with a refund of the difference in price; or (iii) cancelling the tour and obtaining a full refund.

Any overdue balance payment must also be received. For flight inclusive bookings, you must pay the charges levied by the airline concerned.

Clients agree to accept the authority and decisions of the Company's employees and tour leaders whilst on tour with the Company.

Where a client is excluded, the Company will have no further responsibility towards them (including any return travel arrangements) and we will not meet any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the exclusion.
In the case of ill health, the Company may make such arrangements as it sees fit and recovers the costs thereof from the client. If a client commits an illegal act (including, for example, causing any damage) the client may be excluded from the tour and the Company shall cease to have the responsibility to/for them as above.
No refund will be given for any unused services. When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party.

If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded.
You will also be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own and the other party's full legal costs) as a result of your actions.
You should ensure you have appropriate travel insurance to protect you if this situation arises.

You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition or disability which may affect your active participation in your tour or the tour arrangements of any other person develops after your booking has been confirmed.

Please note that if you choose for any reason not to participate in any part of the tour itinerary once on the tour, there will be NO refund for these services, as they are prepaid based on the number participating.
If you miss part of the tour due to medical reasons your Insurance should cover this portion if pre-purchased.

15. TOUR CANCELLATION BY US:
The Company reserves the right to cancel a tour in any circumstances but will not cancel a tour less than 8 weeks before the start of the tour except for force majeure or any political disturbances, or the client's failure to make all payments (including the final balance and any surcharge) when due.

If any tour does not have the minimum number of participants required to make it commercially viable, we are entitled to cancel it.
We will notify you of cancellation for this reason not less than 8 weeks before the start of your tour.

We regret we cannot meet any visa, vaccination or similar costs in the event of any change or cancellation by us.
