BOOKING AND PAYMENT PROCESS

Our tours take many hours of planning and work to create the unique experience we aim to give our travelers. This planning takes place long before your trip departure date. Therefore, our trips do include non-refundable deposits as detailed in your trip itinerary. In addition, our suppliers require payments long in advance of your departure date and so all bookings are subject to their terms and conditions.

Our bookings do not include airfare. You must not make any air reservation until you receive confirmation of your booking. Your contract for airfare is with the carrier and subject to its terms and we will not be liable for any change fees or cancellation fees or other additional cost you incur with the air carrier.

Final payment for your trip reservation will be due no later than 61 days before your scheduled departure date. Failure to receive the final payment will result on your trip being cancelled. In such a case this would be considered a cancellation by you and the cancellation terms and fees as described below would be in effect. We will not be held responsible for lost reservations.

 

TRAVELER INFORMATION

While we do not assist with air reservations, we bring to your attention the importance of accuracy. Names provided to secure reservations must match travelers’ passport. Middle names are not required to appear on airline tickets. Date of birth and complete passport details are required. Any minor name corrections advised after airline tickets have been issued will incur fees. Not all name corrections will be permitted by airlines and may require the purchase of a new ticket. Travelers voluntarily assume full and sole responsibility for any and all risks and/or costs involved with failure to report any errors and/or omissions to documentation.

 

CREDIT CARD BOOKINGS

While we do accept major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, you must provide to us a click or signed authorization for every transaction for your trip. Your authorization is an agreement for us to charge your card and an acknowledgement and agreement to these terms and conditions, including the privacy and cookie policy and the cancellation terms. As such you agree not to make any improper dispute. In certain cases, you can dispute charges with credit card companies ("chargebacks"). Before initiating a chargeback, we ask you first to call us to discuss any questions or concerns about our charges. We will work with you in attempting to resolve your concerns. By using our service to make a reservation, you accept and agree to our cancellation policy. Today Voyages retains the right to dispute any chargeback that is improper and recover any costs, including attorney’s fees related to improper chargebacks. Additionally, in the event of an improper chargeback, we retain the right to cancel any travel reservation related to that improper chargeback. The following chargeback scenarios are improper, and we retain the right to investigate and rebut any such chargeback claims: 

  • Chargebacks resulting from non-cancellable reservations, whether or not the reservation is used.

  • Chargebacks resulting from charges authorized by family, friends, associates or other third parties with direct access to your credit card. This does not include credit card fraud.

  • Chargebacks arising from inconsistency or inaccuracy with regard to the supplier’s product description.

  • Chargebacks resulting from force majeure or other circumstances that are beyond the control of Today Voyages or the Supplier.

  • Chargebacks resulting because you do not agree with the cancellation policy.

PRICING

For trips that include a hotel stay, our prices depend on the room type. Unless otherwise indicated, prices are per person and are based on a double room. Single rooms are available with a supplement. Triple and Quad rooms are available for certain trips only with an applicable discount. Triple and Quad rooms consist of 2 double beds. The price of your itinerary will be based on known costs at the date of issue of the itinerary. All prices we advertise are accurate at the date published, but we reserve the right to change any of those prices from time to time. At the time of booking confirmation, we will provide you with an invoice reflecting the current price. We reserve the right to add a supplement to your travel prices should our costs of supplying your travel increase, until we receive your final payment. Any increase to your travel price will be as the result of changes in our costs of supplying your travel resulting from changes by our suppliers, dues, or taxes payable locally, currency 4 fluctuations and government action. If our costs to supply your travel increases, we reserve the right to increase the price of your travel and will forward a new Invoice reflecting any changes made. After final payment, your price is locked in. We also reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices at any time before your travel is confirmed. We will advise you of any errors of which we are aware and of the then applicable price at the time of booking.

CANCELLATION AND NO-SHOWS

As described above, Today Voyages is required to pay all suppliers well in advance of your departure date. This includes but is not limited to hotel accommodations, meals, show tickets, admission tickets, transportation, etc. All suppliers have their own cancellation policies, which apply to your booking. Should a cancellation become necessary, please inform Today Voyages immediately in writing and request a written confirmation of your cancellation. Upon, receipt, Today Voyages will communicate with the suppliers regarding any applicable refunds subject to suppliers’ terms and conditions. If you are entitled to a refund, please note that the supplier is responsible for this refund, not Today Voyages. Suppliers may choose to provide a travel voucher or credit in lieu of refund. We are not responsible for a supplier’s failure to pay a refund or for supplier bankruptcy or insolvency.

Exceptions to suppliers’ cancellation policy cannot be made for any reason, including but not limited to weather, terrorism, civil unrest, epidemics, or the thread of personal, family or medical emergencies or force majeure. There is no refund for arriving late or leaving a trip early.

If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel protection plan you may be able to reclaim these charges, for this reason we strongly encourage the purchase of a travel protection plan including additional cancel for any reason coverage.

Airline tickets are governed by the air carriers’ terms, and we are not responsible for any air carrier’s decision regarding refund.

It is the traveler’s responsibility to protect their purchases. For this reason, Travel Protection Coverage including additional cancel for any reason coverage is strongly recommended. Such plan should cover Trip Cancellation or Interruption, Medical Expense, Emergency Evacuation/Repatriation, and Baggage. Travel protection plans can help protect you in the event of loss of non-refundable trip deposits and payments that result from cancellation or trip interruption (due to a covered reason such as injury or illness before or during the trip). It also helps with reimbursement for medical emergency costs (including very costly medical evacuation costs), missed connections and baggage loss. Travel Protection Plans including cancel for any reason coverage must be purchased in close conjunction with your travel purchase.

Today Voyages is not qualified to answer technical questions about the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of travel insurance plans. Today Voyages cannot evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured's existing insurance coverage. If you have any questions about your travel protection, call your insurer or insurance agent or broker.

 

Declining to purchase an adequate travel protection plan could result in the loss of your travel cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. You also acknowledge that without this coverage, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs or expenses incurred. If you choose to travel without adequate coverage, we will not be liable for any of your losses howsoever arising, for which trip protection plan coverage would otherwise have been available.

Some of our trips include airport transfers, please refer to your itinerary or contact us if you are unsure. For those trips, we will arrange and provide airport transfers, both inbound and outbound, with the following conditions:

  1. You must provide your flight information no later than 31 days before your travel date.

  2. We cannot provide the airport transfer if it is not scheduled for the first and/or last day of the tour. Thus, no transfer can be provided in the event of a pre- or post-stays.

  3. We cannot guarantee welcome or transfer services if you do not arrive on the flight or date that you have communicated to us;

  4. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide airport transfer services if the flight arrives two or more hours later than its scheduled arrival time. (Guides do their best to accommodate travelers who do not arrive as scheduled, but since they normally work alone, it is likely that the guide will need to welcome the other travelers and might not be able to provide welcome services to latecomers).

In cases 3 and 4, we will do our utmost to ensure that welcome and transfer services are provided, especially if we have been notified of the issues. However, we cannot guarantee the execution of these services and cannot be held financially responsible if they are not provided. In those cases, you will have to manage your own transfer to the 1st hotel of the tour.

Upon cancellation of the transportation or travel services, where the guest is not at fault and has not canceled in violation of any terms and conditions previously clearly and conspicuously disclosed and agreed to by the guest, all sums paid to for services not provided will be promptly paid to the guest, unless the guest advises in writing, after cancellation. This provision does not apply where Today Voyages has remitted the payment to another registered wholesale seller of travel or a carrier, without obtaining a refund, and where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing the agreed-upon transportation or service. In this situation, Today Voyages will provide the guest with a written statement accompanied by bank records establishing the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to a wholesale seller of travel, proof of current registration of that wholesaler.

 

CALIFORNIA TRAVEL RESTITUTION FUND

If your transaction is with Today Voyages, and you are a resident of California the transaction is covered by the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund (TCRF) if Today Voyages was registered and participating in the TCRF at the time of sale and the guest is located in California at the time of payment. Eligible guests may file a claim with TCRF if the guest is owed a refund of more than $50 for transportation or travel services which Today Voyages failed to forward to a proper provider or such money was not refunded to you when required. The maximum amount which may be paid by the TCRF to any one guest is the total amount paid on behalf of the guest to Today Voyages not to exceed $15,000. A claim must be submitted to the TCRF within 12 months after the scheduled completion date of the travel. A claim must include sufficient documentation to prove your claim and a $35 processing fee. Claimants must agree to waive their right to other civil remedies against a registered participating seller of travel for matters arising out of a sale for which you file a TCRF claim. You may request a claim form by writing to Travel Consumer Restitution Corporation, P.O. Box 6001, Larkspur, CA 94977-6001; or by visiting TCRC’s website at: www.tcrcinfo.org. The TCRF does not cover any guests purchasing a Today Voyages Tour from outside of the state of California.
