It is your responsibility to ensure that you have a valid passport, visas, permits, and vaccinations for the countries you will visit during your tour.

We are not responsible if you are refused entry to a country because you lack the correct passport, visa, or other travel documentation.

7. Tour Conduct

You agree to comply with the authority and decisions of our tour leaders and local representatives. If your conduct compromises the comfort or enjoyment of other travelers or staff, or contravenes local laws, we reserve the right to terminate your participation in the tour without refund.

You must respect the customs, religions, and etiquette of the places you visit. You must act responsibly and with consideration for others throughout your tour.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability for any loss, damage, injury, or illness suffered by you or any other person, whether direct, consequential, special, or incidental, arising from your booking or participation in a tour, whether caused by our negligence or otherwise.
