Changes or Cancellations made by Us
While all precautions are to be taken
and the wellbeing of the customers is a concern, occasionally changes may be made to your tour which we reserve the right
to do so at any time. This may be due to seasonal conditions which may involve a diversion of route or
the cancellation of some stages. In most cases these will be minor. We can not be held
legally responsible if we are forced to cancel, or in any way change your tour due to damage caused beyond our personal control,
including injury or delay due to sickness, machinery breakdown, war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute,
terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions.
|
Payment
Payment will be accepted by means of bank transfer. Once
your itinerary has been agreed we will send you an email with the necessary bank information. By using
this method, the client acknowledges that the bank transfer may take up to 15 days and that confirmation will only be accepted
when payment is received. Payment can also be made using Western Union. The correct Transaction Number
(MCTN) must be emailed to Balthazar Tours and the funds received before your tour can be confirmed. The
client is responsible for all fees and charges issued by Western Union.
