CUSTOMIZED TOURS / ITINERARIES:

TREK Travel Programs can customize any tour itinerary to meet the specific needs of your group. Tour pricing will vary depending on tour destination, mode of transportation, hotels utilized, sightseeing attractions, tour length, and other determining factors listed in your trip criteria. Our mission is to develop travel programs that enhance the learning experience.

 

TOUR PRICING:

The cost of all tours are quoted per person, based on group size, and the customized features of your tour. Tour prices will be affected by choice of hotel, sightseeing attractions, and mode of transportation selected. Pricing for adults may be higher depending on the actual tour reservations. Tour pricing will include all components of the tour package as listed in your specific trip criteria. Final tour pricing can only be guaranteed upon receipt of your initial deposit.

 

BOOKING / DEPOSIT:

After having decided upon a tour and receiving a tentative itinerary, an initial deposit must be received to book your reservations. The amount of this deposit, usually

$50.00 per person, will be determined in your specific trip criteria. Final tour pricing and tour reservations can only be guaranteed upon receipt of this initial deposit. Within 45 days of departure cancellation fees will apply.

 

FINAL PAYMENT:

Final payment for tours is due 30-60 days prior to the departure date. Specific payment due dates will be stated in your written tour proposal. Final payments are based on the number of participants and your final rooming list. Travel reservations can only be guaranteed if final payment is received by the specified due date. Failure to meet the final payment due date may result in the cancellation of tour reservations and the assessment of penalties and fees.

 

COMPLIMENTARY POLICY:

One complimentary chaperon will be provided for every 20 paying students. If your group requires more than 2 complimentary participants, please provide that information prior to making the initial tour deposit so any change in tour pricing can be made.

 

REFUNDS / CANCELLATION PENALTIES:

Full refund for cancellation 45 days or earlier from the departure date. Penalties will apply for cancellation 45 - 7 days prior to departure. No refunds for cancellation within 7 days of departure.
