​

Quality Guarantee

​

Inspired Sojourn offers the best Accommodations, tours, transportation and service. We reserve the right to make changes to any accommodation, tour, transportation or service in our itineraries. However, should Inspired Sojourn need to substitute any accommodation, tour, transportation or service, we will endeavor to provide you with a comparable alternative in time, price and quality.

​

Rate Guarantee

​

Tour prices are guaranteed once Inspired Sojourns receives your first deposit. However, in the unlikely event of a substantial increase in operating costs, fuel costs, tariffs or taxes prior to the vacation, we reserve the right to add a surcharge, not to exceed 3% of the land cost per person. All assessed government or quasi-government fees and taxes are subject to change without notice at any time, and we reserve the right to add a surcharge for these fees and taxes whether you have a confirmed booking under deposit or have made final payment.

​

Cancelation Policy

​

If you cancel your reservation or re-book to a different trip, refunds of the total package price will be subject to a cancellation charge according to the following schedule:

​

More than 180 days before departure = Deposit is non-refundable 
180 to 121 days before departure = 50% of total package price
120 or less days before departure = 100% of total package price

​

Travel Insurance

​

We offer, and strongly recommend, purchasing trip cancellation insurance to protect your vacation investment before and during your trip. Most policies offer a waiver of all pre-existing medical conditions, and cover most unexpected occurrences such as illness or injury to you or a traveling companion or immediate family member (including domestic partners), jury duty, job layoff or job termination. Our preferred vendor is Square Mouth.

Name Change On Sojourn 

​

Inspired Sojourn packages may be transferred to another guest. In rare occasions there may be a service fee, but this is unlikely. Airline tickets may not be transferred due to the carrier’s restrictions beyond Inspired Sojourn’s control.

​

​

Passports and Visas

​

While Inspired Sojourns will assist when possible, please note that passport, visa, and vaccination requirements vary from country to country, and are the sole responsibility of the traveler. Generally speaking, your valid passport should have at least two blank pages and should be valid for at least six months after your planned departure from the country you are visiting. Passport and visa requirements can change at any time, and travelers should always check their country-specific requirements for traveling abroad.

Validity 

​

All prices quoted are in United States dollars (USD).

 

Should any government charges change between now and the time of travel we reserve the right to adjust the package accordingly.

 

All prices are subject to change until your deposit is received and reservation is confirmed by Inspired Sojourns.
