This company's cancellation fees are outrageous and insensitive to safety concerns. Here's the fee breakdown: - Cancel within 61 days of booking: Lose 15% of the tour price. - Cancel 60-31 days before arrival: Lose 35%. - Cancel 30-15 days before arrival: Lose 50%. - Cancel 1-14 days before arrival: Lose 100%. If you must book with them, delay payment as long as possible to protect your money in case of cancellation. This company's attitude towards safety is reprehensible. These exorbitant cancellation fees are an even bigger problem because they aren't disclosed in any contract or on their website. Beware of this company's hidden fees and consider alternative options with more transparent policies. Your safety should be a top priority when planning any trip.Show more
