Terms & Conditions

Deposits and Payments

Tour Deposits: A deposit of $250.00 per person reserves the tour of your choice. Full payment is due in our office at least 60 days prior to departure.

Important Tour Information

Increasing Fuel Prices: These may make it necessary to institute a fuel surcharge. Any price increase to our participants will be based solely on the additional cost charged to us from our suppliers.
Seating: Seat rotation on coaches is made daily with rare exceptions. Your Tour Director will explain the policy at the welcome briefing. This allows everyone an equal opportunity for choice seating.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellation of Event: It is very important to let us know as soon as possible that you want to register for a tour. We often get requests to join a tour after it has been cancelled for lack of participation. Please remember your reservation can be the one that makes a trip a go. If we must cancel due to insufficient participation or other circumstances, our obligation will be to refund all monies paid to us.
Individual Cancellations for the Tours: Travel arrangements cancelled 90 days or more before departure will incur a $50 per person administrative fee; cancellations received 89–60 days prior are subject to forfeiture of deposit; cancellations 59 or less days prior will be charged 50% of the tour cost, or hotel and supplier expenses that cannot be recovered, whichever is the greater amount.

Travel Insurance

Once HistoryAmerica TOURS has made the commitment to operate a tour and pay suppliers, it is not possible to recover all monies for individuals who must cancel their travel arrangements. If you are interested in purchasing trip cancellation insurance, please notify us at the time of your initial deposit. Insurance purchased within two weeks of registering for a tour covers pre-existing medical conditions. Insurance purchased at a later date excludes this coverage.
