Cancellation Policy

For standard tours (private and small group), cancellations made at least 30 days prior to the tour date are eligible for a 100% refund or 100% future travel credit (less ticket, reservation, and applicable service fees). Cancellations made between 29 days and 48 hours prior to the tour date are eligible for a 50% refund or 50% future travel credit, less any ticket, reservation, and/or applicable service fees. All sales are final within 48 hours of the tour date. Venue tickets and reservation fees are non-refundable and non-transferable and cannot be used without a Context tour. In the event that you request a tour reschedule, Context will need to purchase and charge for new tickets/reservation fees.

TripsTravelDeal spends significant time organizing tours and reservations, and last-minute changes can cause operational disruption. Changes requested more than 30 days in advance may be made without charge (new ticket/service fees may still apply). Date/time changes within 29 days–48 hours are not guaranteed and incur a $50 fee per tour. Substantive changes within this period are treated as cancellations and subject to a 50% penalty. Within 48 hours, all sales are final and no changes can be made.

We understand unexpected travel disruptions occur. If your cancellation is due to unforeseen circumstances beyond your control, please contact our team at support@tripstraveldeal.com with documentation. We will do our best to honor requests made within 24 hours of booking.

Please see the full cancellation and reschedule policy below for After Hours Vatican Tours as well as tours in Israel and Jordan, as these have unique terms.

All sales are final for Context Audio Guides and Context Lectures.
