All tour cancellations by a participant must be in writing by e-mail and the date of cancellation will be the date of receipt of the e-mail. We maintain a waitlist for all trips and do our best to locate a replacement if cancellation of your booking becomes necessary. At no time, however, can we guarantee that we will be able to fill a cancelled spot.
For two week tours-Up to November 1, 2024 when the second deposit is due, we can consider a cancellation. In that case we will reimburse $400 of your initial $800 deposit. After November 1, 2024, we will be glad to reimburse $400 of your initial $800 deposit ONLY IF we are able to fill your spot.
In the unlikely event Bike and the Like should cancel a tour or program prior to the date of departure certain fees may be refunded.
If a tour is cancelled as a result of a force majeure event, all trip payments will be refunded less a $200 administrative fee per person. If a Bike and the Like tour is cancelled due to any reason other then a force majeure event, all trip fee payments will be refunded. A "force majeur event" is any event beyond the reasonable control of Bike and the Like, including but not limited to war, threat of war, sabotage, civil disturbance, acts of God, fire, accident, flood or explosion, sickness, contagion, epidemics, quarantine, Government intervention, travel bans and weather conditions.
Refunds constitute full settlement in the event of cancellation of a tour; Bike and the Like is not responsible for airfares fees or other expenses incurred by a participant due to change in itinerary or tour cancellation. No refunds or discounts will be granted for a Participant arriving late or leaving a tour prior to the tour's conclusion.
Because it is necessary for Bike and the Like to adhere to its cancellation/refund policy and because unexpected things can happen to interrupt your plans, Bike and the Like requires all participants to secure Travel Insurance. For comparative analysis of Travel Insurance companies and policies we found Square Mouth to be helpful.
