Reality Tours & Travel

Terms and Conditions

Payment & Fees

All our trips are in INR (Rupees) and if you are using an international card to pay via our online booking system (which uses PayPal) a small percentage fee may be applied. This is due to foreign exchange conversion and certain Paypal transaction fees incurred.

Payment for most tours needs to be made when we have confirmed availability. Payment needs to be done in advance of the tour to confirm your booking in one of the following ways:

Assumption Of Risk

You understand and accept that your proposed tour may expose you to inherent dangers including but not limited to physical exertion, equipment failure, or the activity itself. You acknowledge that alterations to the schedule itinerary or activity may be made as necessitated by weather, group size, road transport, road closures, illness or other factors, you agree to accept the decisions of the tour leader or representative, and you accept that neither we nor the providers of services can be held responsible for expenses or inconvenience incurred as a consequence. You acknowledge that the enjoyment of your tour or holiday is derived in part from travel beyond the safety risks of life at work or at home, and you accept and assume all the risks involved.

All disputes are subject to Mumbai jurisdiction only.

LATE ARRIVAL BY CUSTOMER

The tour starts at the designated time. If you arrive late for whatever reason and miss the tour, then no money will be refunded

CANCELLATIONS BY US

While we always endeavour to avoid cancellations and changes, we must reserve the right to do so. However, we promise we will only cancel your confirmed booking where we are forced to do so as a result of circumstances outside our control or because an insufficient number of people have booked your chosen tour.

We will notify you before the tour starts if we have to cancel for lack of numbers. Please note that we do reserve the right to run tours with less than the stated minimum number. If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If we have to cancel, we will pay back the full amount and will not deduct any non-refundable expenses. Compensation will not be payable and no liability assumed by us.

NON-REFUNDABLE EXPENSES

If you cancel/change a tour, if we have incurred expenses which we can’t recoup (such as car hire), then you will have to pay for these expenses.

Changes, Cancellations And Refunds (Multi-Day Tours)

CHANGES BY YOU:

A change of departure date and/or a change in tour must be requested in writing by the person who made the original booking.

Should the changes result in additional fees or charges to Reality Tours and Travel from suppliers then Reality Tours and Travel reserves the right to pass on those additional charges to the client. Or to apply an ‘administration charge’ accordingly.

Changes should be notified at earliest opportunity. If the change results in the cancellation of the tour in whole or in part then cancellation charges will be applied.

Whilst every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate changes and additional requests their availability can’t be guaranteed.
