TOUR PRICE
The prices shown on our website or in our other published literature are “Land Prices” and are based on double room occupancy. Single supplements are charged to cover our additional costs for single occupancy of double rooms. The price of your trip is fully guaranteed and will not be subject to any surcharges.
PAYMENT
If you book online the travel sum stated on our website is payable either in full or in part. If you decide to pay in part, then a deposit equal to 20% of the total tour price is payable immediately. Some of our tours charge a non-refundable deposit which may be equal to or less than 20% of the total tour price. If the deposit that you are paying is non-refundable then we make this clear to you during the checkout process. The remaining balance must be in the possession of GARDENTOURS.COM no later than six weeks before the day of departure or following receipt of our invoice for the remaining balance, whichever is the earlier. In the event of overdue payment, the travel agreement can be terminated by or on behalf of the GARDENTOURS.COM with immediate effect after summons and after the expiry of the term set in the summons. The cancellation conditions will then continue to apply.
If you decide to pay in full, 100% of the total tour price is payable immediately.
If any booking is made within 6 weeks before the day of departure, the entire travel sum must be paid immediately upon receipt of the invoice.
