Cancellation & Refund Policy
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Booking a tour does not mean that you cannot cancel it. Unplanned situations can arrive anytime and can put your already planned vacations on the back foot, which is why we at Tourhopers also provide you with a proper cancellation window and an excellent refund policy, where you will be able to get your money back easily
Can I get my money back?
Tourhopers makes sure that all its customers can get their money back if they have cancelled their tour within the operator's cancellation window. There are different kinds of refunds that you can get based on when you cancel your tour.
- Full refund - You will get a full refund of the entire amount if you cancel the tour 48 hours before the tour.
- 50% refund - If you are cancelling the tour 24 to 49 hours before the tour, then you will be able to get 50% of your money back.
- No refund - If you are cancelling the tour less than 24 hours before the tour, or you do not show up for the tour, then in this case, we will not be able to provide you with any refund.
- Complete refund or a new date for the tour - In case either Tourhopers or the tour operator cancels the tour, then you will be able to get either a complete refund or a new date for the tour depending on your preferences.
The above example shows you how the cancellation and refund work for a Big Bus Paris 24-hour ticket of ₹5,116.83.
