IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We strongly recommend travel insurance for everyone. For US travellers we recommend Detour Insurance. All necessary entrance documents (such as passports, visas, etc.) are the responsibility of each individual. Passports should be valid for 6 months beyond your return date. All changes, requests or booking requirements should be sent in writing. Please notify us in advance should any passengers require special accommodation (such as dietary needs or disabilities).
BEST PRICE GUARANTEE – if you find the equivalent tour for less, we’ll beat it.
The tour you find with another provider should be like-for-like, for example being in the same region and of the same duration, including the same transport type, group size, hotel quality, number of meals provided, sights visited, and entrance fees and airport transfers where applicable. This offer applies to genuine written quotes from registered travel businesses and websites, and should reflect availability for the general public on the selected tour. Prices available due to membership of a group or corporate entity or subscription to a closed group are excluded. The currency quoted should directly match the traveler’s origin, and only quotes in major currencies will be accepted. The written cost must reflect the date it was advertised and the final price including all taxes, surcharges and booking / service fees. Your consultant will need to confirm that the price is genuine, available and able to be booked by the general public when you present it to us. If it is, we will revise the price of your tour accordingly.
100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE
Your experience is our top priority. If, for any reason, you feel a service does not meet our stated quality standards:
- Please notify us during your trip so we can address the issue immediately.
- If we cannot resolve the matter to your satisfaction, we will provide a refund for the affected portion of services.
We are committed to making your journey exceptional — your relocation, your way, with guaranteed satisfaction.
