Cancellation Policy

Up and running rain or shine, the tour is running smoothly despite unfavourable conditions. Please check below for information on tour operations during inclement weather. Our bike tours are never cancelled by rainfall, thanks to our proactive approach to navigating unpredictable weather. As torrential rain descends, our trusty minivan is primed to carry us through our tour with ease. We'll dodge and weave, trying to outrun the storm while prioritizing safety above all else. But should the rain prove to be more persistent than we anticipated, we'll seamlessly shift the tour to the cozy interior of the minivan. Not only does this ensure the safety of our passengers, but also allows us to fully enjoy the journey ahead. When precipitation permeates the atmosphere, guests can rest assured that entertainment options abound. Some of the diversions available for guests may encompass indulging in cinematic productions, devouring written works, and savouring auditory stimulation. Downtime enthusiasts may alternatively opt to catch up on some well-deserved shut-eye, immortalize their emotive musings, or partake in a preferred pastime pursuit. A few individuals may derive solace in culinary artistry when the sky surrenders to the symphony of rain. With a plethora of choices at their disposal, guests can enjoy themselves to no end when the elements confine them indoors. Our bike tour proceeds without any compensation if it rains. Participants will have to take responsibility for not being able to ride due to the weather or if the bike tour is shortened for the same reason. We will strive to provide biking opportunities if the weather permits. However, we do hope that the weather changes for the better soon. Named a rain check, our company issues a voucher to clients that holds a value equal to what was originally paid and can be used on any available day. This voucher is transferable, meaning anyone can use it within a year from the issue date, whether given or sold to them. Furthermore, it's redeemable for any tour offered by our company. For the well-being and satisfaction of our customers, we strictly require the use of appropriate rain equipment during wet weather while riding with us. It is imperative that this point is taken into consideration. From our guests, we request that they arrive at the appointed place a quarter of an hour earlier before embarking on the tour.
