FITNESS-

Most tours are constructed with physical fitness in mind. Locations have been selected based on their access however, a reasonable level of fitness for all ages is required for all tours. When I say reasonable levels of fitness I am  not talking about being able to run the marathon.Most of the workshops are short walks and nothing is difficult. If you are in doubt, call Pete to discuss the workshop that you wish to go on and to clarify.Most are short walks  and a few have long windy steps and these are steep going back up. That’s as hard as it gets.  You will also be carrying your own camera equipment.

If you are unsure please contact myself and I’ll  let you know what is involved on the tour you have selected so you can make well informed decision.

Also not included are insurances needed for the tour, travel accident, travel delay, baggage delay or theft (we recommend you organise the appropriate coverage well before coming on tour), medical or hospitalization costs.

REFUND POLICY-

In order to book a place on any of the  workshop Tours you need to pay the fee in full at the time of booking or at the very least a retainer fee of 33%. The retainer will secure your place on tour and is non refundable should you choose to cancel for any reason. 33% is not refunded on any workshop if cancellation takes place for whatever reason..

The remaining balance of the cost is due 2 calendar months before the scheduled start date of the tour.

Workshops that are at a min number, 33% of the total cost is not refunded.This is kept back to make sure the workshop can still go ahead without cancelling it for the rest of the guests .This is because when a person cancels and we have the min number of people for the workshop, it means the workshop cannot go ahead. With that extra 33% not being refunded it ensures that the others guests are not at a disadvantage. Without that 33% being kept back, the workshop would have to be cancelled.

Any day or weekend workshop within Australia that is cancelled 3 months out only 50% is  refunded.

CANCELLATION

MORE THAN 2 CALENDAR MONTHS BEFORE TOUR

If for any reason you need to cancel your place on the tour you may do so prior to 2 calendar months before the tour date, a $500 cancellation fee from the remaining amount must be paid (or will be held) as well as the 25% non-refundable retainer. All money paid aside from these 2 fees will be refunded.

LESS THAN 2 CALENDAR MONTHS BEFORE TOUR

Should you need to cancel during the last 2 months leading up to the tour any money paid will not under any circumstances be refunded. At this point it is highly unlikely for Pete  Dobre workshop Tours to refill the vacant place or downsize accommodation and rearrange plans.

If you need to cancel in the final 2 months leading up to the tour you may offer the place to a family member or friend as long as this person agrees to all terms and conditions. Pete  Dobré workshop Tours is not responsible for any third party arrangements.
