The prices of trips are subject to change.

Any increase in the cost of a trip beyond 10% of the original price quoted to you will constitute a "substantial change" in the terms of the trip, thereby entitling you to cancellation rights detailed above. If you choose to continue with the trip booked, you will be responsible for the increase in cost. Any such increase in cost payable by you must be paid upon notification to you. Examples of increased costs beyond the control of Journey Beyond Travel's includes, but is not limited to, currency devaluation, increased costs of third party providers of services such as transportation and taxes.

Journey Beyond Travel reserves the right to deny anyone the right to travel with our organization. In this highly unlikely situation, if you have paid the initial online booking deposit for reservations and are denied traveling privileges with Journey Beyond Travel before you arrive in country, Journey Beyond Travel will base the reimbursement according to our cancellation policy.

Journey Beyond Travel will not cancel a trip for any reason within our own control. We do, however, reserve the right to cancel any trip due to unforeseen mishaps, acts of God or Nature, and in-country political and civil situations and/or instability, including terrorism. It is up to Journey Beyond Travel to judge and decide if a trip shall be cancelled due to any such incidents, not the traveler(s), family, or travel group coming on a tour. If Journey Beyond Travel cancels a trip before the tour start date, we will attempt to accommodate travelers for another travel date or give a 40% refund. If a trip is in process and is interrupted due to any unforeseen events, Journey Beyond Travel will not reimburse any monies.

Changes Made to Booked Tour:
If a traveler or group wishes to change their tour dates, it will be dependent upon availability. If a change of dates is granted, each traveler will be expected to pay an amount equivalent to the booking fee in order to re-arrange transport and hotels. If a traveler or group requests a change of tour dates before a trip’s start date and it cannot be arranged, it will be treated as a full cancellation. No changes of tour dates will be made 60 days before an already booked tour. Journey Beyond Travel does not cover any charges due to these changes.

Changes to Hotels and Itineraries:
Any initial or additional requests (meals, rooms, etc.) before a trip will cost $99 USD to cover administrative costs. Each request therein and thereafter will be US $49, plus the fees to cover said changes. If a traveler would like rooms booked before and/or after a set-tour itinerary advertised on our website, there will be a $49 fee.

If an individual or a tour group wants to travel within 30 days of a tour’s start date, the entire booking fee and pre-departure payment will both be due immediately.

Amendments and Risk:
Journey Beyond travel reserves the right to change the itinerary, change routes or shorten the trip for any reason that the tour leader(s) see fit. If emergency evacuation from a country is necessary, Journey Beyond Travel will not be responsible for these costs, but will help to arrange the procedure. By joining a trip, you agree to listen and abide by all rules and decisions made by your tour leader and guides. However rare the case, Journey Beyond Travel reserves the right to ask any traveler to leave the group at any time.
