Cancellation & Refunds
Can I cancel my reservation?
Yes. Cancellation requests may be submitted directly to Val Global Tour. However, the amount you may receive, if any, depends on when you cancel and the applicable cancellation terms.
What happens if I cancel within 24 hours of booking?
You may request cancellation within 24 hours of booking. Any eligible refund will be processed subject to applicable law and any amounts already committed to third-party suppliers that cannot reasonably be recovered.
What happens if I cancel after 24 hours but within 7 days?
For cancellations made more than 24 hours but within 7 days of booking, you may receive 90% of the eligible amount paid, with a 10% cancellation deduction.
What happens if I cancel more than 7 days after booking?
If you cancel more than 7 days after booking and more than 30 days before departure, a cash refund will ordinarily not be provided. At its discretion, Val Global Tour may provide a travel voucher or credit toward a future tour.
Can I cancel within 30 days of departure?
Cancellations made 30 days or less before departure are generally non-refundable, except where applicable law requires otherwise, Val Global Tour expressly agrees to an exception, or coverage is available under travel protection purchased by the customer.
What happens if I miss the tour or motorcoach departure?
If you do not appear at the required departure location and time, you will be considered a no-show and no refund will be provided. The motorcoach will generally depart at the published time and cannot be guaranteed to wait for late passengers. If you miss the departure, Val Global Tour is not responsible for transportation, lodging, meals, or other expenses required to join the tour later.
Tour Changes
Can I change my tour date?
You should contact Val Global Tour at least 60 days before departure if you need to request a tour-date change. Changes are not guaranteed and depend on availability, hotels, transportation, attractions, supplier policies, and any applicable price differences.
Can I transfer my reservation to another person?
Reservations cannot automatically be transferred to another individual. You must contact Val Global Tour before attempting to transfer a reservation. Transfers are subject to supplier requirements and Val Global Tour approval.
Can Val Global Tour change or cancel a tour?
Yes. While Val Global Tour intends to operate tours substantially as advertised, circumstances such as severe weather, natural disasters, road closures, transportation problems, hotel or supplier issues, safety concerns, emergencies, or insufficient participation may require a tour or itinerary change. Val Global Tour will make reasonable efforts to notify affected travelers as soon as practicable and, when possible, provide a comparable alternative.
Accessibility & Wheelchairs
Can I bring a wheelchair or motorized wheelchair on the tour?
Yes. Travelers may bring their personal wheelchair or mobility device, including a motorized wheelchair, subject to the requirements and capacity of the transportation provider and the specific tour arrangements. Customers should notify Val Global Tour before booking whenever possible so that we can determine whether the specific motorcoach, hotels, attractions, and other facilities can accommodate the mobility device.
What information do I need to provide about my wheelchair?
You may be asked to provide information such as the wheelchair’s size, weight, dimensions, and other relevant specifications. Providing accurate information helps Val Global Tour and the transportation provider determine whether appropriate arrangements can be made.
Is every wheelchair or motorized wheelchair guaranteed to be accommodated?
No. Accessibility can vary depending on the specific motorcoach, transportation arrangements, hotel, attraction, terrain, and other facilities. Customers should not assume that a motorized wheelchair or other mobility device can be accommodated without receiving confirmation from Val Global Tour before booking.
Are pets or animals allowed on the tour?
Animals and pets are not permitted on Val Global Tour tours. Customers should not bring pets or other animals onto the motorcoach, into tour accommodations, or to tour activities unless Val Global Tour has provided prior written authorization. Customers with accessibility needs should contact Val Global Tour before booking to discuss their specific requirements and available accommodations.
