100% |
Please Note:
In the case of any possible refund, PayPal service fee (4.5%) will be deducted from the original payment.
Once the trip starts, we are unable to refund any amount for unused services due to your unwillingness/inability to participate, early departure, late arrival, or missed days on tours.

For some items, such as hotels in peak season, airlines, Cruises, bullet train tickets/flights tickets, certain tickets/reservations for theme parks, games, shows, restaurants, and special experience may result in full charges upon cancellation.etc, it cannot be refunded and changed once has been reserved and issued whether or not booked 21 days before or after.

However, if the client decides to cancel the itinerary, a handling fee of 10% of the total tour cost will apply — regardless of the reason or timing of the cancellation — to cover the administrative work involved.
