      Leah

      Traveler•Written February 2025

      Is there still a chance this tour date could be cancelled if there is not enough people? Or will it definitely be running?

    • Cullinan Guided JourneysOperator•Written February 2025

      The tour will go as usual if we have guests scheduled. However, we do need a minimum of two guests to conduct the tour, therefore you will be responsible for paying the per person sharing charge x2 if all three guests cancel. Currently this is not the case, and you will pay the single rate.
