Guaranteed Departures

Guaranted Departure Policy and Small Group Supplement

We guarantee our tours will run with a minimum of four participants*, but we do require a small group fee of €250 per person for tours with only four participants.

Here’s how it works:

• Four Participants: The tour is guaranteed, but a €250 per person small group fee will be added to the published tour price. The usual cancellation terms apply. This means the total cost is the agreed tour price plus the €250 small group fee.
• Fewer than Four Participants: If fewer than four people are booked 90 days before departure, we will either:
  • Cancel the tour and issue a full refund, or
  • Offer to run the tour with two or three participants if everyone agrees, in which case a €600 per person small group fee will apply.

Summary of Small Group Fees:

• Five or more participants: No small group fee. The published tour price applies.
• Four participants: The tour is guaranteed with a €250 per person small group fee added.
• Two or three participants: The tour may be confirmed by mutual agreement, with a €600 per person small group fee added.

If more people join after the small group fee has been paid, making the fee unnecessary, we will refund it.

Booking Details:

• If you are the first to book a tour, we will accept your reservation and inform you once the group size reaches four, making it a “guaranteed departure.”
• If we have not received any bookings by four weeks before departure, the tour will be canceled.
• Depending on the tour and the season, we may decline bookings if we don’t anticipate reaching the minimum group size.

We believe this arrangement ensures fairness for everyone while making smaller group departures viable.
