If you are joining a private journey, please click here for the terms and conditions unique to private journeys

 

Confirmation Package
As soon as we receive your reservation and deposit, we will send you detailed information on what to bring, how to prepare for your trip, travel directions, detailed itinerary, trip cancellation insurance application, pre- and post-tour hotel information and Classic Journeys' policies.

Deposit Payments
A deposit of $300 per person, per tour is required to confirm a reservation on one of our Argentina departures. This may be paid with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express or personal check.

Balance Payments
The balance of the trip price is due 90 days prior to departure, payable by check or credit card. If you pay your deposit by credit card, we will assume that you would like your balance also paid by credit card and we will charge your card for the balance due 90 days prior to departure, unless you instruct us otherwise in writing. If the balance is not paid when due, Classic Journeys reserves the right to regard the reservation as canceled.

Cancellations & Refunds

If you must cancel your reservation, we will refund your payments, less the following fees*:

 

Days Prior to Trip Start Date	Trip Cancellation Fee Per Person
121+ days	$50
91-120 days	$300
61-90 days	50% of trip price
46-60 days	75% of trip price
0-45 days	100% of trip price

 

When you cancel a trip, we must ask you to notify us in writing. Exceptions to these policies cannot be made for any reason. We are happy to assist you in transferring from one trip to another; however any changes to trip date will incur the cancellation fees listed above on the trip (and extension if you are signed up for it) from which you are switching. If unforeseen circumstances require a change to trip itinerary, Classic Journeys will make every effort to select alternative hotels of the same standard and to keep modifications to a minimum. Classic Journeys reserves the right to cancel a trip for any reason. In such an instance, we will refund all payments received, which will constitute full settlement.

Arrival and Departure

Each trip begins and ends in a town accessible by plane, train, boat or bus. Meeting and ending locations are listed on each of the individual trip pages in the catalog, as well as in your pre-departure information. For some tours, it may be preferable to arrive at the starting point the night prior to the trip departure date. We will be happy to provide you with instructions on how to phone or fax the hotels yourself, or to make these reservations for you. If you elect to have Classic Journeys make these reservations for you, the hotels require that we provide them with a credit card number to hold these reservations or, in rare occasions, to send them a check in advance of arrival. We will advise you of specific hotel payment policies.

Accommodations

Trip prices are based on two people per room. If you are traveling alone, we will assign you a roommate of the same gender, or you can choose to room alone, paying the single supplement. There are a limited number of single rooms available on all trips. If you choose to be paired with a roommate and we are unable to pair you, we will invoice you for the single supplement 90 days prior to the trip. If we are subsequently able to find you a roommate, we will gladly refund the single supplement.

Insurance

We include in all Deposit and Final Confirmation Packages an application form for short-term travel insurance that offers you options to cover baggage, accident/ life and/or trip cancellation. Trip cancellation insurance reimburses you for non-refundable air and land costs, if you have to cancel a trip due to personal or family illness or accident. The insurance that we recommend also provides coverage for all pre-existing conditions if you complete your insurance form and postmark it within seven calendar days of our receipt of your deposit. We highly recommend that you obtain this insurance.

 

We suggest Travel Guard International, as it is America's leading travel insurance company protecting more than 4 million travelers each year. There are two ways to purchase your insurance from Travel Guard. The fastest and easiest way is to purchase your insurance on-line by clicking the Travel Guard link after you have completed your reservation with Classic Journeys. The link will take you directly to the Travel Guard web site, where in minutes you can be insured in full for your trip with us. Travel Guard will send you an insurance certificate. If you prefer to wait for your deposit confirmation package from us, we'll include with it Travel Guard's insurance application. Please keep in mind that Travel Guard makes additional benefits available to you if you take out the insurance within 7 days of making your reservation with us.
