Please note that 15 days prior to your arrival we will use your deposit to prepay all museum tickets and other charges which are non-refundable to us.

In case of partial cancellations resulting in reduction of the initial group size, cancelling party may not receive refund as provided above. The reason is such cancellations make per person tour price for the remaining group members more expensive and it is against our policy to raise tour prices at the last minute. Refunds will only be entertained in case the remaining group members do not object to paying more per person as a result of such cancellations.

We highly recommend Travel Insurance to protect yourself and your family members from possible penalties arising from late cancellations.
