LEGAL & SUPPORT

Cancellation, Refund & Delay Policy

Last updated:

1. Booking-specific terms

Cancellation terms may vary because hotels, tickets, vehicles, guides, venues and other suppliers have different conditions.

The quotation or booking confirmation will identify any booking-specific terms and any non-refundable third-party costs.

2. Standard Local Experiences

Unless the written booking confirmation states otherwise, the following default policy applies to standard half-day and full-day Local Experiences:

  • Cancellation seven or more calendar days before the scheduled start: full refund.
  • Cancellation from 72 hours to less than seven calendar days before the scheduled start: 50% refund.
  • Cancellation less than 72 hours before the scheduled start: non-refundable.
  • No-show: non-refundable.

Any ticket, venue, transport or other third-party cost clearly disclosed as non-refundable before payment is excluded from the refundable amount.

3. Private Journeys, Business Visits and Special-Purpose Trips

Customised bookings will have a cancellation schedule in the written quotation or confirmation.

Deposits may become partly or fully non-refundable after planning work begins or suppliers are booked.

Where a booking is cancelled, we will calculate the amount recoverable from suppliers and provide a breakdown of the refundable and non-refundable amounts.

4. Customer-requested changes

Date, route, traveller-number or service changes are subject to availability.

Additional supplier costs or price differences must be paid before the change is confirmed.

5. Cancellation by us

If we cancel a service and cannot offer a suitable alternative, we will refund the amount paid for the undelivered service.

6. Weather, closures and circumstances beyond reasonable control

Severe weather, government restrictions, transport disruption, attraction closures, public-health events or other events outside reasonable control may require a change, delay or rescheduling.

Where possible, we will offer an alternative or rescheduled service. If this is not reasonably possible, we will refund any recoverable amount after accounting for non-refundable supplier costs.

7. Guest delay or no-show

Guests should arrive at the confirmed meeting point on time.

Late arrival may shorten the service without a refund. A reasonable extension may be offered where operationally possible and may involve additional cost.

8. Refund method and timing

Approved refunds will normally be initiated to the original payment method within ten business days after the refundable amount has been confirmed.

Banks, card issuers and payment providers may require additional processing time before the refund appears in the customer’s account.

9. How to request a cancellation or refund

Please include:
