Terms & Conditions

Deposits and Payments

A deposit of $300 per person will reserve 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

Individual Cancellations – Travel arrangements cancelled prior to 90 days before departure are subject to a $50 per person administrative fee; cancellations received 89-60 days prior are subject to forfeiture of deposit; cancellations 59 days or less prior will be charged hotel and supplier expenses which cannot be recovered or 50% of the tour costs, whichever is the greater amount.
Event Cancellation – HistoryAmerica does not like to cancel tours. Extensive preparation and expense go into the planning. These are lost if we cancel, but more important, your confidence in HistoryAmerica can be damaged. If we must cancel due to insufficient participation or other circumstances, our total obligation will be to refund all monies paid to us.

Battlefield Preservation

A portion of every tour and cruise taken by a Civil War Preservation Trust member will be donated to the CWPT for battlefield preservation.

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 at that time will cover pre-existing medical conditions. Insurance purchased at a later date excludes this coverage.
