Quick reference

Payments

We accept four methods of payment for balance payments: credit card, e-check, wire transfer, and check. Your confirmation email contains a personal payment link for you to choose your preferred method and make payment. More information.

Travel Insurance

We recommend travel insurance for your trip including your flights, bike tour, and other costs. If you bought travel insurance at the time you reserved your trip the travel insurance cost will be added to your initial deposit. If you chose to buy travel insurance on the client travel portal at a later date, it will be billed separately. We purchase our personal travel insurance through RoamRight. More Information.

Tour Documents: Pre-Tour

About three to four weeks before your tour (earlier, if possible), we’ll send you email attachments with your hotel list and general information. More information.

Tour Documents: Tour Start

At your start hotel, you normally receive a comprehensive information package with tips for sightseeing and dining and, on most self-guided bike tours, maps and cue sheets in English. More information.
