Deposits and
Payments -
A $6000 per person deposit
is required within
2 days of booking for an inside cabin. This deposit may increase for a
higher cabin category. This payment is not refundable should
you
later cancel.
Refunds
and Cancellations - Cancellations
after final
payment will result in a refund limited to whatever we can recoup from
the airline.
Insurance
-
Adequate
travel insurance is essential. We can arrange
this for you if desired. Macleay
Valley Travel
offers Suresave Travel Insurance. Please note that
we can
only process your travel insurance when we have
received
full payment for the insurance and the signed Suresave Travel Insurance
application form, located on the last page of the Suresave Travel
Insurance information booklet. Until this time the travel insurance
cannot be processed and will not be valid. Macleay Valley Travel will
bare no responsibility for any consequences that may occur as a result
of an incomplete insurance application.
Passports
- All
travellers require a current passport with at least 6 months left
on it at the end of the tour. Non-Australian passport holders require a
re-entry visa for Australia. Visas are required for Russia and
the
cost is $110 per person plus $30 processing fee.
Basic
Tour Price and Taxes
- Air taxes and Fuel Levies are included in the
basic tour
price if the tour is paid in full on or before the
due date
on the final invoice. Macleay Valley Travel reserves the right to
charge for any increase in Air taxes and Fuel Levies if the tour is not
paid in full by the due date.

items of a personal nature such as telephone calls, drinks, excess
baggage, tips, meals, (except those specified in the itinerary), travel

any
deviation from the set itinerary will incur a breakaway

Valley Travel recommends that the passenger is
reasonably healthy and/or fit to participate in this tour.
Persons with a disability requiring special assistance must
be
accompanied by a companion. Macleay Valley Travel and their
representatives cannot provide this service. Macleay Valley
Travel reserves the right to accept/decline or terminate a passenger's
participation in the tour under certain circumstances.
Booking
through other Agents
- As we keep the cost of our tours as low as possible, there is
insufficient margin for us to be able to pay commission to other travel
agents, so some bookings can only be accepted if the client pays the
other agent's commission. Macleay Valley Travel is a fully licensed
travel agent and as such any
monies paid to us are fully insured by the Travel Compensation Fund. We
are happy for any prospective traveller with us to check us out with
your local Consumer Affairs (fair trading) department.Similarly, credit
card payments can only be accepted if 2% is added to
the price to help defray the heavy merchant fees charged to us by the
credit card companies.
