• A non-refundable deposit is required to book a tour. Please contact us to confirm the price of deposit because deposit prices vary depending on the tour. Reservations will be confirmed upon our receipt of a signed booking form and deposit.
• Make payments via PayPal , bank  transfer or Credit card ( in this case an extra fee of 3% of the total amount is applied) .

• Payment in full is due 20 days before the date of the tour.
• Reservations made without payment in full as of maximum 20 days prior to the date of a tour will be subject to cancellation and forfeiture of deposit.

Breakfast

• Please note that breakfasts in Europe do not usually include American breakfast items such as pancakes, waffles, omlettes, ham, eggs, etc. Instead, we typically use accommodations that offer buffet-style breakfasts.

Photographs

• Sicily By Experts  reserves the right to use photographs of clients taken during tours in our promotional materials without compensation or advanced notice. If you desire that a specific picture of you not be used, please contact us  and we will remove the picture from our promotional materials.

Refunds and Adjustments

We maintain such consistent quality by guaranteeing payment to all those involved in the programme (i.e. cooks, drivers, guides, hotel owners). It’s impossible to refund or re-apply deposits or payments in the event of cancellations made by travelers because we must run the programme for those who still have reservations. Additionally, we must honor our payments to our suppliers.
