All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to Vela Private Tour via email or official messaging channels. Refunds will be processed according to the following conditions:
· Cancellation more than 30 days before arrival: A full refund will be issued, minus actual non-refundable expenses already incurred on your behalf (e.g., non-refundable hotel deposits, private transport bookings, or advance venue admission fees). Official receipts/vouchers for these costs will be provided.
· Cancellation 15 – 29 days before arrival: A 50% refund of the total tour cost will be issued, or the remaining balance after deducting actual incurred expenses, whichever is lower.
· Cancellation 0 – 14 days before arrival: No refund will be provided under any circumstances.
· Non-Refundable Expenses: Any special advance bookings, seasonal hotel deposits, or customized experiences specified as "Non-Refundable" at the time of purchase cannot be refunded regardless of the cancellation date.
· Force Majeure: In the event of unforeseen circumstances beyond our control (e.g., severe natural disasters, sudden government restrictions, or airport closures), actual non-refundable costs incurred with third-party suppliers will be deducted, and the remaining balance will be refunded or applied as credit for future travel.
