Terms and Conditions
To Secure Your Booking
To secure your booking, you must inform Heritage Egypt of your request. A company representative will contact you to discuss and finalize the arrangements and send you an itinerary for final confirmation. You must confirm these details and pay the deposit, as discussed in your details, to Heritage Egypt by wire transfer or credit / debit card (Paypal or Cash, both are accepted).
Payment/Booking Policy
We are offering a low down payment of just 25% to secure your spaces on the tour including hotel room, cruise cabin, domestic flight ticket, and other travel-related services. The remaining balance can be paid up to 30 days prior to your arrival date.
Payment by Credit Card
At the time of booking, when paying by credit card, we ask you for payment information such as credit card number or bank transfer details. We use the utmost level of online security to safeguard your personal data.
Cancellation Policy
The lead name on the booking must give notice to cancel the tour in writing or mail us and we shall refund the tour cost after deduction cancellation charges as below:
Cancellation within 40 days prior to the departure date, 30 % of the package cost is chargeable.
From 40 days to 20 days prior to the departure date, 50 % of the package cost is chargeable.
From 20 days to 7 days prior to departure date, 75 % of the package cost is chargeable.
For cancellations made within 5 days prior to the departure date, 100% of the package cost is chargeable.
Additionally, airlines charge fees for both domestic and international flights which are subject to the airlines terms and conditions at the time of the booking.
Force Majeure
Heritage Egypt can be very flexible in cancellation policy in case the government or the airline issues a travel warning from/to your departure country and/or your destination. In the event of this happening, we will be refunding you the amount paid for the tour package or in some cases your payment will be available as future travel credit and travel voucher that can be used towards any of the destinations we operate tours in. You have the flexibility to apply this amount towards new travel services booked within 12 months. Reservations will be adjusted to reflect these travel credits automatically. Only flights’ cancellation/changing fees are charged, according to the airline’s terms and conditions, and bank surcharges fees applied on the deposit amount paid.
Here at Heritage Egypt, we prioritize your well-being and safety above all else and for that reason, we have adapted our cancellation policy to reflect our values.
Changes made by you
Any changes made to the original booking are subject to availability. If the full payment has been received and/or a voucher has been issued, no administrative fees will be applied except on changes to tickets for air travel.
Changes Made By Us Before Travel
We reserve the rights to do any change in your Tour program due to unexpected conditions. If you do not want to accept a significant change, which we will tell you about before you depart, we will (if we are able to do so) offer you an alternative tour of equivalent or closely similar standard and price at no extra cost, or a less expensive tour, in which case we will refund the difference in price. If you do not wish to take the alternative we offer you, you can choose a different tour offered for sale by us and pay, or receive a refund of, any price difference. Or, if you prefer, you can cancel your tour and receive a full refund of deposits, which you have paid to us.
