      Would you reconfirm the final total price for the 12 days 'India Highlights with Varanasi' tour, 2 people, 5 star hotels, last night in Varanasi instead of Delhi? Cancellation policy seems very rigid. Could we apply a different policy like full refund until 60 days before, 50% until 30 days before?
