The Client may use their own insurance, provided it is adequate for the destination and type of tour, or may take out the insurance offered by the Agency through its partnership with IATI, available at https://www.unusualvoyages.com/travel-insurance.
Failure to contract or present valid insurance may prevent participation in the tour, without entitlement to any refund.
Any request for changes to the booking made by the Client (including changes of date, tour, participant name or services) is subject to the Agency’s express consent and availability.
