    Do you do this tour in December?

  • C

    Carole

    Asked on August 4th, 2022

    I see that on your site the minimum deposit is 692.40 (on the site of the operator it is 223). Having checked explore! cancellation/modification policy it seems that the deposit is a "non-refundable" cost. Can you confirm that if I need to modify the dates of my booking this amount will be lost in any case, whatever the moment I take such a decision? are there still many spots left for that departure? (I would prefer to book in September)

    Payments
    Price / Availability
    • Explore!OperatorWritten August 2022

      The deposit is non-refundable if you are cancelling. However, you can cancel and transfer to another date - or you can cancel and receive a credit for future tours valid for 12 months. Cancelation charges will apply as follows: 59-42 days before trip start date - 30%, or loss of deposit if higher. 41-28 days before trip start date - 60%. 27-14 days before trip start date - 90%. Less than 14 days before trip start date - 100%. For this trip there are no dates available in September. However we have these dates instead: Sat 19 Nov 2022 - Sat 3 Dec 2022, Sat 25 Mar 2023 - Sat 8 Apr 2023, Fri 20 Oct 2023 - Fri 3 Nov 2023, Sat 18 Nov 2023 - Sat 2 Dec 2023.
