If Your Booking is Changed by Us:  

This tour is prepared months in advance, 

and occasionally a part of it has to be modified or is not available. 

On occasion, even after your booking is confirmed, 

we may have to make changes to your requested arrangements. 

Most changes will be minor, 

however, we may need to make a major change prior to your departure. 

Major changes include: 

1. change of departure or return by more than 24 hours; 
2. change of accommodation and/or accommodation standard;
3. increase in your costs in excess of 7% (unless government imposed); and
4. change of route requiring additional traveler identification 
   or documentation without sufficient time 
   to obtain this documentation before departure

If we make a major change, we will advise you as soon as possible, and you may then:

a. accept the change as offered;
b. select an alternate tour with Us based on availability and the applicable price; or
c. cancel your trip completely with a refund of the price paid, minus the non-refundable deposit.

Sometimes the hotel reserved is not available 

due to unexpected maintenance or overbooking, 

and a substitute hotel of equal or greater quality will be provided. 

If the hotel standard is downgraded and you accept the change as offered, 

a refund for any difference in price will be issued.

 We reserve the right to change published prices without notice and/or 

to pass on government imposed taxes, 

transportation related fees or surcharges 

including those for fuel or currency fluctuations to you. 

Force Majeure: 

We may not be able to refund you in full for some or all changes made because of 

war or threat of war, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist activity, 

industrial disputes, natural and nuclear disasters, 

fire, weather causing beach erosion, epidemics or health risks, 

technical or mechanical problems with transport, 

flight delays due to weather, government action, 

closed or congested airports or seaports,

 supplier insolvency and any events beyond our direct control.

Tour Escort: 

If the tour escort is unable to accompany the tour, 

she will be replaced and the tour will go ahead as scheduled. 

It is Not the Same Away From Home: 

As Canadians, we enjoy a very high standard of living. 

In other parts of the world, uninterrupted supply of water and electricity, 

the local health conditions, levels of security and standards of food and drink 

differ from those we enjoy at home.
