WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK?
We’ll be ready at a moment’s notice at all hours of the day. However, most tours end by dusk, so it’s best to plan for a late morning/early afternoon pickup for a productive day. Since our tours are customized, we have more availability.

DO YOU HAVE A CANCELLATION POLICY?
Yes, we do! If you elect to pay for Cancellation Insurance at the time of booking, you are allowed to cancel all or any portion of your service up to 24 hours prior to the service date/time. With the insurance, we will reimburse you for all cancelled services, less the insurance, tax and any applicable booking fees.
