Terms and Conditions
Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend that you take out appropriate travel insurance to cover your travel arrangements. Your insurance protection should include cover for cancellation, medical and repatriation expenses, personal injury and accident, death and loss of personal baggage and money and personal liability insurance
Claims
If you have any complaint about your trip please inform your group leader or our local representative at the time to rectify the matter. If satisfaction is not reached through these means then any further complaint should be put in writing to us within 14 days at the end of the trip.
Healthy
To travel you must ensure that you are suitably fit to allow full participation in the trip and to obtain proper and detailed medical advice for your latest health requirements. You must ensure that you are aware of any health requirements and recommended precautions relevant to your travel and ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation. In some cases, failure to present required vaccination documentation (e.g. proof of Yellow Fever vaccination) may deny you entry into a country. We recommend that you consult with your local doctor, travel medical service or specialist vaccination clinic before commencing your travel.
Prices
All prices are subject to availability and can be withdrawn or varied without notice. The price is only guaranteed once paid for in full by you. Please note that prices quoted are subject to change. Price changes may occur by reason of matters outside our control which increase the cost of the product or service. Such factors include adverse currency fluctuations, unfavorable change in exchange rates, fuel surcharges, government taxes and airfare increase. Please contact your consultant for up-to-date prices.
Change and cancellation fees
Cancellations must be sent in writings or email to the office that confirmed the reservation. All cancellations shall only be effective from the date of receipt of cancellation by the booking office
Subject to your refund and remedy rights, the following change and cancellation fees apply to all bookings (including online bookings and bookings made with a consultant)

In case the booking is cancelled after rescheduling the original trip date will be used to calculate any refunds.
Supplier change and cancellation fees
Cancelled bookings may also incur supplier fees, which can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced.
