Legal
Terms & conditions
These terms cover the use of this website and the quotes it produces. The specific commercial terms for your trip, what is included, the payment schedule and the cancellation charges, are set out in the written quote a consultant sends you, and those take precedence over anything here.
Quotes and availability
Prices shown on this website are real prices calculated for the dates and group size given, but they are quotations, not confirmed bookings. Availability of hotels, guides and vehicles is confirmed by a member of our team before anything is held for you. Until you receive written confirmation from a consultant, no booking exists.
A quotation is valid for the period stated on it. Prices can change after that point because the underlying hotel and transport rates change by season and by date.
What a price includes
Unless the quote says otherwise, prices are for land arrangements only and exclude international flights. The inclusions listed against a package on this site, accommodation, transport, guiding, entrance fees and similar, are what that price covers. Anything not listed is not included.
Prices are quoted per person based on the group size given. Changing the number of travellers changes the price per person, because vehicle and room costs are shared differently.
Booking and payment
You can send a booking request from any tour page. The request holds the price shown for up to seven days, or less when the trip starts soon; the exact time is shown before you send it. A booking request is not yet a booking: a consultant checks availability and confirms in writing.
Once a consultant confirms, a deposit of 30% of the trip price secures your booking, and the balance is due at least 48 hours before your trip starts. This website never asks for payment card details: payment is made through the secure payment page or method set out in your confirmation.
