TRAVEL PROTECTION:
Please note Our refund and deposit policy carefully. Life happens, but for piece-of-mind, a competitively priced group travel insurance option is offered for all B.A.G. Travel bookings.

If You wish to add the travel protection assurance later, please note that it may be available up to 30-days before departure.

Passengers registering for the tour accept the responsibility for being in good health and able to walk and travel on the tour(s). Many sites are not accessible to the physically challenged, those needing oxygen, wheelchairs, or other ambulatory assistance, and persons needing accommodations will find the tour extremely limiting to their experiences. Travelers MUST email [email protected] with the specific accommodations that are needed and wait for an acknowledgment from B.A.G. Travel.
B.A.G. Travel can make alternate recommendations for activities outside of the posted trip itinerary, but those activities are 100% at the traveler’s expense. Any accommodation made to the planned tours will be clearly stated, and the pricing will be reflected in Your invoice.
We reserve the right to refuse or revoke travel to anyone who is, in the sole judgment of us, incapable of group travel without causing undue demands upon the staff or other tour participants. Accessible rooms/cabins are limited and subject to confirmation after receiving the passenger’s written request.
