FAQ's How do I submit payments? Once guests complete the traveler preference form [by clicking the Book Now button], they will be sent an invoice to submit their nonrefundable deposit and secure their spot.
Why are payments nonrefundable? Once the group accepts the itinerary contract, they are agreeing to travel based on the accepted itinerary and pay the contracted cost in full. Failure to uphold the contract will result in penalties and/or fees from the travel suppliers ( hotels, transportation. and other tour operators.] Purchasing Travel Insurance is strongly suggested.
Why do I need travel insurance? Life happens! Although travel insurance doesn't cover all inconveniences or tragedies, it is the best way to protect your travel investment. In some cases, it can also protect monies travelers spend to offset inconveniences that arise during travel. How will I know when I need a travel Visa? Visa applications are usually accepted beginning 90-days prior to departure. Once your trip is paid in full, the tour company will send an invitation to apply for your travel Visa. What happens if I am unable to travel after I have submitted payments? As soon as you know you have to cancel, you must submit a cancellation request in writing to info@curatedadventurespro.com. You will receive confirmation of receipt within 48 hours and you can then file a claim with your travel insurance. CURATED ADVENTURES PRO | TRIP ITINERARY & TRAVEL GUIDE
