Booking Terms & Conditions
How to reserve a tour with us:
NOTE: Insider Tours are about authenticity. Expect home-cooked food; the warmth and generosity of local hosts; the occasional uncertainties of local transport; and clean, but simple, facilities when camping or in ecolodges and homestays.
Looking for luxury and privacy? that's not a problem. We can arrange for accommodation that suits your needs. For privacy, we recommend that you combine one of our tours with some final rest time on your own. We can help you arrange this.
Reservation Deposit
A deposit of $230/£150 per person (deductible) is due at the time of reserving your tour. Payment is by UK pounds sterling (cheques) or bank transfer. If it is via bank transfer – you will cover the costs of the transfer. To comply with the UK government client protection scheme we have a Trust Account where the tour funds are deposited. Read more about the Trust Account on the Financial Protection page.
Tour Price
Full payment of the balance is due 45 days before your tour date. The tour price quoted is based on the agree schedule. Changes to the schedule may incur additional costs.
Travel Insurance
Tour participants will provide their own travel insurance. We recommend comprehensive insurance cover. You understand and accept that your proposed tour may expose you to inherent dangers and you may be traveling through remote areas which can be subject to, among other things, unfavourable political, physical, health or climatic conditions.
Contract Validity
This tour is valid only when the completed booking form along with the appropriate reservation deposit (or full payment if the reservation is made within 30 days of the tour date) has been received by Insider Tours. Note that up until this time, all itineraries are provisional. In peak season, high quality accommodation is often booked up well in advance.
Group Reservations
If your reservation is made for a group, the person submitting the reservation form must have authorization from all participants listed.
Amendments
As your tour coordinators, we incur non refundable expenses in booking your accommodation, travel arrangements and other tour costs. Thus changes made by you to your reservation after the deposit is received may incur an amendment fee of £20/$30 per amendment. Cancellation fees may also be applicable.
Health and Fitness
We recommend you visit your doctor and dentist before your tour. The right is also reserved to decline to accept any person for any reason, at our sole discretion, or to remove from the program any person for reasons of health, safety and/or general welfare of the tour group, or of the individual participant. Baggage and personal property are carried at the owner's risk entirely.
Cancellation Charges
We treat all cancellations sympathetically. However, due to the nature of these tours, we reserve the right to apply the following maximum charges if the tour is canceled by the participants for any reason:
Liability
Insider Tours accepts no liability for cancellations, delays or changes that are caused by war, threat of war, airport closures, civil strife, industrial action, natural disaster, technical transport problems, staff cancellations, negligence or other events or acts and omissions by others (including our guides and accommodation providers) beyond our control; participants' medical or psychiatric conditions which may develop during or subsequent to the tour; loss of or damage to any personal property of the participants.
