Tour Payment Plan

Once your deposit is paid, we offer a value added "optional" service to pay your Tour balance. Want to spread the payment of your tour balance out over time? We offer a payment plan for travelers to pay their tour balance over a period of several months. In order to pay a tour balance via our payment plan, travelers need to complete and submit either a secure online reservation booking form or our printable reservation booking form accompanied by the required $500 per person per tour deposit payment. The remaining tour balance due after deposit payment is made and all applicable discounts applied is divided into equal monthly payments with the last payment being due no later than 90 days before tour departure. Once your booking form is received, we email you an invoice to begin making payments. There is a 4% fee charged to participate in the payment plan to cover administrative costs.
