​​​​​​​​​​​​
Our Trip Protection Plan
We strongly encourage travelers who anticipate the possibility of canceling their trip to consider purchasing a Trip Protection Plan or Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) Travel Insurance. In today’s unpredictable travel landscape, shaped by experiences like the COVID-19 pandemic and potential government-imposed restrictions, safeguarding your investment has never been more essential.
Our Trip Protection Plan is available for $450 and allows you to cancel your trip for any reason up to 45 days before departure. If you cancel during this period, you’ll receive a full refund, minus the $450 paid for the plan. On day 44 before departure, the Trip Protection Plan will expire, and $250 of the plan cost will be automatically credited toward your final payment. From this point, our standard Cancellation Policy outlined in the Terms & Conditions will apply.
If you purchase the Trip Protection Plan, and you decide to cancel, you must contact us by email no later than 45 days before the tour. Please note, this plan applies only to monies paid toward the land cost of your tour and does not cover prior credits, vouchers, or airfare, which are subject to the airline's Terms & Conditions.
If you choose to purchase this plan, you must include its cost with your initial deposit. Unfortunately, it cannot be added after the initial payment is made.

Cancel For Any Reason Insurance (CFAR)
Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) Travel Insurance offers travelers unparalleled flexibility and peace of mind by allowing them to cancel their trip for any reason not covered by standard travel insurance policies. Unlike traditional plans that only reimburse for specific, documented reasons such as illness or severe weather, CFAR gives you the freedom to cancel for personal concerns, changing circumstances, or simply a change of heart. Typically, CFAR coverage reimburses up to 50-75% of prepaid, non-refundable trip costs, provided the cancellation occurs within a specified timeframe—usually up to 48 or 72 hours before departure. This optional add-on must be purchased shortly after booking your trip, often within 14-21 days. While it may cost more than standard coverage, CFAR is an excellent option for travelers seeking maximum flexibility in uncertain times.
We do not sell CFAR Insurance directly but recommend these two websites to purchase a CFAR plan:

International Medical Insurance
Even if you have health insurance in the United States, it’s important to consider purchasing international medical insurance when traveling abroad. Most U.S. health insurance plans, including Medicare, provide little to no coverage outside the country, leaving you financially vulnerable in the event of an unexpected illness or injury. International medical insurance ensures access to quality healthcare wherever you are, covering costs such as doctor visits, hospital stays, and emergency medical treatments. Additionally, it often includes emergency medical evacuation, which can save you tens of thousands of dollars if you need to be transported to a hospital or back home for specialized care. Having international medical insurance provides peace of mind, knowing you're protected from the high costs of unexpected medical emergencies while exploring the world.​ These plans are relatively inexpensive and provide peace of mind.
We recommend the following sites to find an international medical plan:
​
If you choose to decline Trip Protection or Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) insurance, we still strongly recommend purchasing International Medical Insurance for all travelers, regardless of age or health. Most U.S. health insurance plans, including Medicare, provide little to no coverage outside the country, leaving you vulnerable to unexpected medical expenses while abroad. International Medical Insurance ensures access to quality care and emergency services, giving you peace of mind during your travels. These plans can be purchased anytime before you depart from the United States. Most people can get coverage for under $100.
