While every care will be taken to maintain itinerary timings, Your Trails Tours is unable to guarantee exact arrival and departure times, and cannot be held liable for failure to make connections with other services, or for any expenses incurred by its guests as a result of weather and resultant road conditions, mechanical defects, or any other unforeseen cause.
Your Trails Tours reserves the right to alter any advertised itinerary, including accommodation for extended tours, if weather conditions or any other unforeseen circumstances are prevailing at the time of the tour. Your Trails Tours will not refund any monies in the case of itinerary alterations. The operator also has the right to substitute vehicles or use alternative operators or carriers for transport.
Your Trails Tours reserves the right (without refund or compensation, and whether before or after commencement of travel or tour) to exclude any passenger if that passenger appears likely to endanger the health or safety of themselves or others, or impair the comfort of other passengers; this includes any passenger who commits, or allegedly commits, any illegal act.

In full consideration of passenger and staff safety, and in the interests of providing a comparable tour experience, we also reserve the right to change, cancel, use alternative vehicles or alter tour routes or itineraries without prior notice due to weather, road conditions or operational circumstances. No refund will be given in these circumstances, or in the event of any delay.
