When booking your trip, a deposit is collected.
Deposits for cycling holidays are not refundable.
Non refundable are also events/gran fondo entry/vouchers registrations.
Outstanding balances, payable by bank transfer, are due 31 days before the trip, and are subject to the following cancellation policy:
- For cancellations made between the deposit date and 31 days prior departure, a full credit of your balance (not including the initial deposit) will be carried forward for a future trip, to be used within two years.
- For cancellations made fewer than 31 days before the trip no refunds can be issued. For this reason, we highly recommend travel insurance.
Credits can be used towards a new balance only. A new deposit will be required for each new booking.
