Cancellation & Refund Policy: CTD is required to pay all suppliers well in advance of your tour date. Our suppliers have their own cancellation policies, which apply to your booking. Should a cancellation become necessary we must receive your cancellation notice in writing, and it will become effective only when received by Country Travel DISCOVERIES, LLC (CTD). Upon, receipt, CTD will follow industry procedures for any applicable refunds as outlined in the supplier's terms and subject to their review. If you are entitled to a refund, please note that the supplier is responsible for this refund, not CTD.

The cancellation fee per person will be determined by the number of days remaining until your tour departure date (day of departure is counted as Day 0). Payment Schedule: Because of the extensive planning that goes into each of our trips, costs are incurred long before your departure date. Each reservation requires a $250 per person deposit planning fee (except Oberammergau's Passion Play, which requires a $500 per person planning fee) to be credited toward your final payment.

You will receive an invoice stating the exact due date.
