Guaranteed Departures

Guaranted Departure Policy and Small Group Supplement

We guarantee our tours will run with a minimum of four or five participants*, but we do require a small group fee of €250 to be added to the minimum price for groups of six or more for tours with only four or five participants.

Here’s how it works:

• Four or Five Participants: The tour is guaranteed, but a €250 per person small group fee will be added to the published tour price for groups of six or more. The usual cancellation terms apply.
• 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 this case, a €600 per person small group fee will be applied to the published tour price for groups of six or more.

Summary of Small Group Fees:

• Six or more participants: No small group fee.
• Five or 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 at least 4 reservations 90 days before departure, the tour may be cancelled, or we may agree to run the tour for just two or three people, if all the participants agree.
• 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.
