Private Room Surcharge (Single Supplement)
We charge more to individual travelers who wish to ensure that they have private rooms on tour as shown in the price section of each tour. If you notify us at the time of booking that you are willing to share a room, we will try our best to fulfill this request. In event that we are unable to find a roommate, the guest will be liable to pay the private room charge. Our private room surcharges are the lowest among comparable tours.

Cancellation Insurance
Tourissimo strongly encourages the purchase of travel insurance, which may cover the expenses associated with trip cancellation should you need to cancel your trip, or should your trip be interrupted.
Cancellations by Guests
Exceptions to our cancellation policy cannot be made for any reason, including but not limited to weather, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemics, personal, family or medical emergencies. There is no refund for arriving late or leaving a trip early.
Cancellations by Tourissimo
We may cancel your tour including in the following circumstances:
- Where circumstances beyond our reasonable control arise and prevent us from running your tour, for example, war, civil or political unrest, epidemic or pandemic, terrorism, poor weather conditions or technical problems arise with transport; the money received will be rolled over to the same trip rescheduled for a new date at a later time or to any future trip of equal value.
- The minimum number needed to operate one of our tours has not been met. We confirm our fixed-departure tours once four travelers have committed. We will advise you of this no later than 90 days prior to departure; however, we will run your trip even for two people for just $500 more per guest.
- Tourissimo will refund the money received within 30 calendar days.
- Under no circumstances Tourissimo shall pay for any charges for flight cancellations, nor for any other fees, penalties, and indemnity.
Alterations to the Tour Program
Very occasionally events that are out of our control could force us to make some changes to guarantee the safety of guests and overall quality of the tour. Naturally, we will notify you of any changes that may affect your arrival, departure or lodging.
Force Majeure
Tourissimo shall not be responsible for, and shall make no refund for, events beyond its control, such as, without limitation, acts of God, strikes, acts of war, terrorism or civil disturbance, government restrictions, changes of schedules or operational decisions of air carriers, terrorist activity or the threat thereof, industrial action, natural or nuclear activity, epidemic, pandemic, illness, physical injury, quarantine, medical or customs or immigration regulation, delay, or cancellation, adverse weather conditions, fire, or for acts or omission of Third Parties or other parties not under the control of Tourissimo and all similar events outside our control.
Passport & visa information
Participants are solely responsible for ensuring their passports are up to date, do not expire for at least six months after the trip return date (a requirement to enter many countries), have two completely blank pages (for some countries) and have all necessary visas. We recommend that you keep a copy of your scanned passport (photograph page) on your email while traveling.
Obtaining and carrying these documents is your sole responsibility. Tourissimo bears no responsibility for such information and will not be responsible for advising and/or obtaining required travel documentation for you, or for any delays, damages, and/or losses including missed portions of your vacation related to improper documentation or government decisions about entry. Please note that entry to any country may be refused even if the required information and travel documents are complete.
Any failure of a participant to have proper visas and/or passport will likely result in the participant not being able to leave the country or enter a destination and no refund will be available in any such case.
Waiver
Once you sign up and pay deposit, you will be asked to electronically sign a waiver. Make sure to read it through carefully.
Vaccinations
Recommended or mandatory inoculations for travel may change and you should consult your doctor for current recommendations before you depart. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended or mandatory inoculations, take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to your trip.
