THE VELO ADVENTURE COMPANY TERMS & CONDITIONS

The Velo Adventure Company’s terms and conditions reflect our commitment to providing an excellent customer experience and are designed to be as accommodating as possible. If you do have any questions, please feel free to contact The Velo Adventure Company team.

Deposit

To reserve your trip, we require a deposit of 30% per person for each trip. Once a trip is under deposit, the trip price is guaranteed unless alternate booking conditions have been noted. The Velo Adventure Company reserves the right to decline a reservation to anyone whose health or behaviour could impede the welfare or enjoyment of fellow guests.

Final Payment

The balance of your payment is due 60 days prior to the departure date. For reservations booked within 60 days of the trip’s departure, final payment is due at the time of booking.

Accepted Payment Methods

Payments must be made by bank transfer. If you would like to use an alternative payment method, please contact The Velo Adventure Company.

Pricing

We are proud of the value of our trips. Our prices are based on double occupancy and includes taxes. Prices are based on an annually set exchange rate. In the event of uncontrollable currency fluctuation, we reserve the right to adjust our rates accordingly. Price breakdowns will not be provided since there are a variety of proprietary factors that are involved. Unless based on the exceptional discretion of The Velo Adventure Company, there is no price reduction offered for arriving late or departing early from a trip.

A single supplement will be charged to each traveller in a private room. The amount of this supplement varies depending on the trip. A single supplement is not meant to penalise solo travellers, but reflects the actual cost that is reduced for double occupancy reservations since they are sharing a room.

Cancellations

We encourage all travellers to purchase travel insurance to protect their financial investment. The Velo Adventure Company does not currently provide travel insurance and it is the responsibility of guests to purchase their own.

The Velo Adventure Company strictly adheres to the following cancellation policy for public tour departures and will make no exceptions.
