Change of Itinerary:

While we make every effort to adhere to the trip itinerary, we reserve the right to make changes if necessary. If we make a major change before departure, we will notify you as soon as possible. A major change is defined as a change that affects at least one day of the itinerary. In the event of a major change, you may choose to accept the change, obtain a refund of money paid, or accept an alternative tour offered.

If a major change occurs after departure, we will do our best to make necessary itinerary alterations at no additional cost.

Authority on Tour:

Our group trips are led by a group leader (guide), whose decision is final on all matters that may affect the safety or well-being of any traveler or staff member.
