A guaranteed departure means that the tour will definitely operate on the day it is scheduled and will not be cancelled. All departures will run except in the event of a natural disaster or other similarly disruptive events that are beyond our control.
Almost all of our tour departures are guaranteed to run. Some tours are guaranteed more than 1 year ahead of time. Others may not be guaranteed until 2 months ahead of time. Every week we receive more bookings and this allows for more guaranteed departures.
Our itineraries are based on historical and current weather patterns, schedules and popular periods. Our itineraries are flexible so that the more people who book tours which are not 'guaranteed departures', the more tours we can name as guaranteed departures.
