Group Size and Trip Costs
The advertised cost for each tour is based on an established minimum level of participation. Should the group for any tour fall below this number, each traveler may be assessed a surcharge dependent upon the number of persons traveling (usually between £100 and £300 per person). Travel and Explore BDmakes every effort to keep the surcharge as small as possible. If assessed a surcharge you will be notified of the amount at least two weeks prior to the departure date. Payment is due upon notification.
Or in the event that we do not have the minimum number of participants, we reserve the right to:
- 1. Add a 10% small group surcharge or,
- 2. Cancel the tour. In either case, you will be notified as soon as possible. In the event of a tour cancellation, you will receive a full refund or you may transfer to another trip.
