Cancellation Policy
-
Please note that the tour remains unaffected by the weather conditions, be it sunny or rainy. However, there are certain exceptions to this, which will be mentioned in the text below.
Rain will never be a cause for cancelling the tour.
Possible uniques of the paragraph are:
- Even though we plan to embark on the bike tour, bad weather might force us to deviate from the plan and switch to a walking tour instead (or modify the plan altogether if the weather doesn't permit us to cycle at the scheduled time). If the rain stops and conditions improve, we'll attempt to cycle again at some point during the excursion.
- Our intention is to commence the bike tour, but we have to be flexible in case of inclement weather. If it's pouring down, we may opt to change to a walking tour instead (or commence with a walking tour directly if the climate isn't conducive for cycling at the appointed location). If the rain eases up, we'll endeavor to resume biking, provided circumstances permit.
- Our aim is to conduct the bike tour as planned, but we acknowledge that the weather is beyond our control. If it's pouring, it might be better to switch to a walking tour (or adapt the schedule if it's not possible to use the bikes at the meeting point). If the weather improves, we'll make an effort to get back on the bikes when it's feasible.
On a rainy day, guests have a few different options to choose from.
Hoping for a break in weather, we invite you to join our tour, with the caveat that no compensation will be offered if we're unable to ride due to rain or if the tour must be cut short due to weather. Rest assured, we'll make every effort to ensure you're able to cycle, as long as the weather allows.
A voucher called a "Rain check" can be redeemed for the same value that clients paid. It can be used on the following day or any future date, depending on availability. The Rain check voucher is transferable and valid for up to one year from the date given. It holds a value that can be applied to any of our company's tours.
For the safety and comfort of our clients, it is absolutely essential that those who opt to ride in wet weather conditions must wear appropriate rain gear. Please keep this in mind.
