Each service provider has the right to determine their pricing as well as to adjust the cancellation policy according to the nature and availability of their service. Where strict cancellation applies, you will be notified of any deviation from the regular policy as it is defined below.

Our Regular Cancellation Policy is as follows:

• You may cancel your reservation and still be entitled to a full refund provided your cancellation takes place up to sixty (60) calendar days prior to the check-in date or other booking of any service made through our website. For cancellations within such timeframe, no cancellation fees shall apply.
• For cancellations taking place between fifty nine (59) to thirty (30) calendar days prior to the check-in date, you will be charged with fifty per cent (50%) of the total booking amount as cancellation fees.

Arriving late: Please note that tour guides are not allowed to wait for guests arriving late. Please make sure to make the necessary arrangements to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the tour. We are on a tight schedule with the service providers we work with. We cannot be held responsible for delays from public transport, flights or other delays in your travel time that may make you late for our tours. In case you arrive late and miss the tour (or for any other no-show reasons) you will not be refunded for the service.

Each tour or multiday experience is subject to cancellation on our behalf due to:

• Low participation: A minimum number of participants is required in order for certain services to run. If the participation number is not met, you will be notified prior to the tour of alternative days when the tour can be rescheduled for or alternative tour options that can be done on the selected date. In case the alternative option is not of interest to you, you will be fully refunded for the service cancelled.
• Weather conditions: at the day of the tour, in which you will be notified prior to the tour of alternative days when the tour can be rescheduled for or alternative tour options that can be done on the selected date. In case the alternative option is not of interest to you, you will be fully refunded for the service cancelled.
• Unexpected cancellation by Supplier: In event of unforeseen circumstances where the supplier cannot honour his commitment and provide the service as expected, you will be notified prior to the tour of alternative days when the tour can be rescheduled for or alternative tour options that can be done on the selected date. In case the alternative option is not of interest to you, you will be fully refunded for the service cancelled.

Change of Date of Services Policy: All bookings are non-refundable beyond a certain date prior to tour date, as your space is guaranteed at the tours. We may be able to offer alternative days to attend depending on availability. If you have made any mistake in your booking details or there is a bank error that did not allow for the payment to be processed, thus you have not received the confirmation on time, it is mandatory that you notify us no later than 24 hours, in order to be able to accommodate a suitable change of your booking valid up to (6) six calendar days prior to the tour date.

Health Conditions and Allergies: In case you have any physical, mental or other health condition, or any type of allergy (such as to cosmetics, food, etc), it is your responsibility to inform us, as well as your tour guide in advance of the activity you selected to participate to.
