Preparing a customized tour requires some time, especially if reservations for restaurants or other venues are required. We recommend making a reservation as early as possible. Ideally, it should be 3 months before your travel date, or 1 month before the travel date at the very least. For Custom Tour bookings that are requested with less than 7 days before the travel date, we may not be able to arrange your custom tour in time so your booking request may be cancelled and you will receive a full refund.
Guests are provided with the tour guides’ phone number before the tour and you can call the tour guide if you need help.
Hotel pickup and drop-off (if the hotel is within city center)
If your cancellation falls within the fees applied to the Standard Cancellation Policy, the service fee of 15% will no longer take effect.
