See our website and the invoice for your trip for exact amount of additional fees.
3.4 We can confirm your reservation once we have received both the deposit and the reservation form. At that time, we will send you a receipt of payment via e-mail or post, detailing the total cost of the tour, the amount paid and, where necessary, how much remains to be paid and the deadline for such payment. We will also send, separately, advice on preparation, and a clothing and equipment packing list together with a Release and Assumption of Risk form (Liability Waiver), which must be signed and returned in order to finalize the reservation process.
3.5 A contract shall come into effect between you and us upon receipt by us of the relevant deposit or, in the case of a late booking, upon full payment of full payment of the tour price.
3.6 On receipt of full payment we will send a receipt of payment via e-mail or post, and separately, further information about the tour, including a detailed itinerary and hotel contact list.
You may book a tour at any time less than 60 days before departure, without extra charges, on the understanding that confirmation will be subject to availability. Full payment of the total trip cost must be made for late bookings. However, we recommend that you book your trip well in advance to help ensure you get your preferred arrangements.
Any cancellation must be notified to us in writing, and will only be effective upon receipt by us. Cancellation fees are according to the following schedule of when we receive your notification:
60 days or more before the trip commencement date: full deposit paid
59 – 30 days before the trip commencement date: 50% of full cost of the trip;
29 – 15 days before the trip commencement date: 75% of full cost of the trip;
Less than 14 days before the trip commencement date: 100% of full cost of the trip
No refund is available for late arrival / early departure / unused portion of a tour.
Depending on the reasons for your cancellation, you should be able to reclaim these cancellation charges from your insurance company if you have taken out travel insurance. All of the above are also subject to applicable fees, in other words, Iberian Adventures / Coral Cultura y Aventura, S.L. will retain the cancellation charge amount stated above, then credit the remainder back to your credit card or transfer the remainder back to a bank account of your preference, but with all applicable bank transfer fees to be subtracted from said remainder.
One exception shall be made to loss of 100% of the deposit if cancelling 60 days or more prior to trip departure. This is the case where we quote you an “estimated price” for the trip, but require the payment of the deposit to proceed with booking. Then in the process of reserving your rooms, due to availability issues on your preferred dates, despite our best efforts, we are forced to use more expensive lodging or lodging requiring additional transfers etc. IF the result of this situation is that the final quoted trip price is more than 10% higher than originally quoted, you shall have the option to cancel, with only a partial loss of the deposit, equal to 150 euros per person. In other words, in this case only, we will refund your deposit minus 150 euros per person
