Booking
To reserve your place on a Fantastic Roads Tour, a deposit as specified on each itinerary is required. This deposit guarantees your place on the tour and requires you to pay the full outstanding amount of the trip fee 10 weeks prior to departure. Your payment of the deposit also confirms your acceptance of all terms and conditions as laid out here. If booking is made less than 10 weeks before departure, then the full amount is due on reservation. Please note if full payment is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel your booking as laid out in our cancellation policy.
You have the right to cancel the booking at any time within seven working days from the day after the date that you made the booking. You can do this by contacting us by email to cancellations@fantasticroads.com and we will fully refund the deposit paid. If the trip that you have booked takes place within the statutory seven day cooling off period, there will be no refund if you cancel. After the statutory cooling off period, the following will apply:
