IF WE CANCEL YOUR TOUR:

 

If we have to cancel the whole tour before departure because of unusual, unforeseen circumstances beyond our control or Underbooking, then we will refund all money already paid by you but you will not be entitled to any compensation for the loss of the tour. Underbooking is the situation in which the minimum number of bookings required to run a tour is not met. We will notify you no later than seven days before departure for our day tours. Please note that we cannot be held responsible for any consequential loss you may suffer as a result of the cancellation of your holiday, for example, travel expenses etc.

If you cannot take your holiday you may find another person replace you, provided they take the holiday exactly as booked; otherwise, our normal cancellation charges will apply. You, as transferor of the holiday, and the transferee shall be jointly and separately liable to us for the payment of the balance due.
