Each booking is subject to availability and is not confirmed until we have emailed an official confirmation.

Payments

Deposits are due within 10 days after confirmation of the tour. Final payment is due 90 days before the tour date.

If a tour is booked within 6 weeks of the tour date, deposits will be processed in Sterling Pound via credit card info provided with booking, (incurs 4% processing fee) and the final invoice will be prepared immediately in the currency of your choosing. Note, a credit card is required to submit a reservation, however, the card will not be charged (unless payments are overdue). Upon official confirmation, you will be able to decide on your preferred method of payment.

Once a final invoice is prepared, the exchange rate is set. Price is fixed regardless of changing exchange rates. If a tour is booked within 100 days of the tour date, the deposit stage will be skipped and the final invoice will be prepared.

You are able to request a final invoice sooner than 100 days to lock in an exchange rate.
