Notes from Jennifer:
Any information provided is for guideline purposes only and is subject to availability and change which will be confirmed with you before making a reservation.
  • We subscribe to a "No Surprises Please" advertising credo, but sometimes even we are surprised.
  • All attempts have been made to insure a complete, honest price in our advertisements.
  • Some situations are very fluid and beyond our control.
  • As itinerary package details or pricing structures change, our advertisements will be updated.
  • Canadian dollar (CAD) pricing for some international itineraries is based on prevailing exchange rates at time of publication. An updated CAD pricing will be verified with you at time of booking.
  • I have watched prices change right on my computer screen. Only by confirming a booking with a deposit can prices be finalized.
  • If airfare has been included in a quote, then it should be noted that airfare pricing and availability is like the stock market - and subject to change at anytime prior to booking.
  • Many times international airfare can be placed on a no cost/no obligation hold for up to 72 hours on providing only your full name as it appears in your passport.
  • If hotel accommodation has been part of a quote, it may be based on limited or time sensitive, consolidator-contracted rates. These rates can change without notice and may be subject to capacity controls.
  • Travel insurance is highly recommended.
    • Quotes routinely provide the deluxe insurance package rate.
    • Conditions are subject to health and age qualifications.
    • You must be presented with the insurance options and must acknowledge your decision on coverage as per TICO regulations.
    • There is no obligation to buy travel inurance.
  • By booking with us, a TICO registered travel agency, you are afforded certain limited protections and guarantees; please visit http://www.tico.ca for more information.
