Tour Booking Terms and Conditions
Your tour package provides a unique and adventurous vacation experience for both group and individual travelers, with features including:

• Guaranteed departures, which allow you to make definite vacation plans without having to worry that your   trip may be cancelled due to insufficient participation.
  
• Booking your airfare – Each tour offers a land only    price. There are a few exceptions (air included tours) that   are noted. Please make certain that airfare is from your   gateway city. It is your responsibility to book your airfare.   Since your land tour is a guaranteed departure, you can   book your air well in advance to obtain the best price. Our  partners will certainly book your airfare for you. Additional service fees may apply. On certain tours it is required that  you arrive at the tour’s beginning point the night before   the tour begins. TAP Partners will book a pre-night stay at  the origin city for an additional cost. Ask us about blocking  group airfare.
  
• Deposits – Standard deposit is 10% of Retail Tour Price, payable at time of booking. Certain programs may require  additional deposits, please inquire with your operator at   the time of booking.
  
• Final Payments – Terms for final payment are set when a  client books, and are pursuant to the operator’s policy and  the nature of the product being offered.
  
• Cancellation Policy – Each tour program will incur different cancellation policies, based on the unique nature   of products being offered. Each cancellation is set at the   time of booking and is pursuant to the operator’s policy.
