Accommodations, transportation, activities, and other tour components will be provided by local suppliers chosen by the Tour Company.

We will make reasonable efforts to adjust to such circumstances, but they are beyond our control.
Client Conduct and Responsibilities
By booking a tour with the Tour Company, the client agrees to act in good faith and follow the guidance of the tour leader or designated representative at all times. The client must abide by all local laws and regulations during their travels and inform the Tour Company of any medical conditions that may impact their participation in tour activities. The client is responsible for any costs incurred due to damage or theft of facilities during their tour and must take necessary measures to ensure their own safety, including following posted health and safety warnings. The Tour Company's decision on all matters related to safety and well-being is final, and its liability will not be affected by any failure on the part of the client to comply with these terms.
