Cancellation and Refunds

Cancellation and refund policies vary, with penalties increasing as the departure date approaches. Regardless of reason, cancellations are costly. To offset these costs, if cancellation in writing is received, Gutsy Women will assess the following penalties. If you cancel, non-recoverable expenses of Gutsy Women’s suppliers will be charged, plus the following per person charges:

A $50 per person fee will be assessed for each change to a tour or air booking plus any additional fees that may be charged by our suppliers. Changes in departure date, itinerary or passenger are considered a cancellation and a new booking. No change will be made unless permitted under the terms of our cancellation policy, even if you transfer to another departure.

A minimum number of participants is required to operate all escorted/hosted programs. Guaranteed departures are based on meeting the minimum number of participants but can change subject to cancellations that result in the tour falling below the minimum participant level.

Gutsy Women Travel cannot be responsible for delays or changes in air or other services, sickness, weather, strikes, acts of terror or war, or other factors beyond Gutsy Women Travel’s control. Should an additional overnight be required due to any of these causes, the hotel, meals and associated costs will be the passenger’s responsibility. Any refund owed to you will be made directly to your credit card account or to your travel agent. Refunds are made on the basis of savings recovered from non-use of hotels, etc. No refund will be granted for missing sightseeing or meals, etc. You can also review the complete refund policy by contacting your Vacations To Go travel counselor and asking for a copy.

Deposit, payment and cancellation terms may differ for group bookings.

Timetables and rates are subject to change, and exceptions may apply for holiday departures; please confirm payment and cancellation policies with your Vacations To Go travel counselor at time of booking.

Purchase of an Insurance Plan may reduce or eliminate the cancellation and interruption fees outlined above. For more information please call your Vacations To Go travel counselor.
