Booking & Tour Confirmation

Tours will only proceed upon reaching the minimum number of participants, usually 6 unless otherwise specified. No deposit is required until this minimum number is reached.
Once the minimum number has been confirmed, we will notify you that the tour is guaranteed. At this point, your booking will be converted to a deposit-based package with an associated payment plan.
It is strongly recommended that you do not purchase flights until the tour has been officially confirmed as going ahead.

Upon confirmation of the tour, a 10% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your place.
A payment plan will be provided and you agree to make payments according to the schedule. Failure to adhere to this schedule may result in the cancellation of your booking.
At your discretion, you may make lump sum payments earlier than scheduled.
Unless expressly stated, flights (international or domestic), visas, insurance, and most meals and beverages are NOT INCLUDED in the tour cost.
You are solely responsible for the WeTravel service fee and credit card processing fees incurred as part of your payment.

If you cancel your booking 60 or more days prior to departure, 50% of the tour cost (excluding the non-refundable deposit) will be refunded.
