• What is your cancellation / refund policy?

  • If you book direct, you may cancel up to 24 hours prior to tour start time. If you do so, you will receive a full refund (please allow up to seven days for the refund). If you book on a third-party website, the policies depend on each specific platform, but generally the same rule applies. If our company cancels or no-shows a tour for any reason, you will receive a full refund no later than seven business days after cancellation. Please do not seek a refund if you cancel within 24 hours of tour start time, because holding a reservation means denying other potential customers (sometimes with large groups) those spaces. Within 24 hours of tour start time, no refunds / credits / time exchanges will be given, for any reason, even emergencies. All redeemed third-party vouchers are non-refundable, and no credits or exchanges are guaranteed (unless our company cancels your tour).
