On registering for a tour, passengers (hereafter the Client or the Clients) accept our terms and conditions as set out in the present document.

DEAR CUSTOMERS,

Due to many clients canceling their tours hours or minutes (unbelievably but true) before their scheduled tour start, we find it necessary to put in place some rules, which will allow us to respectfully continue and appreciate the efforts and services provided by our professional Haku Tours team (Tour guides, drivers, coordinators, etc.).

As background, it’s important to let you know that when you book a tour, at least a guide and driver are scheduled for that time. Booking a driver and guide may mean that they have to cancel work for other companies or other activities they may have scheduled for that time.

Please keep in mind when you book and confirm your tour, we IMMEDIATELY start arrangements which include buying entrance tickets, paying government taxes and any other fees involved in your tour. We do this in advance to provide you a GUARANTEE that you will not miss any place or attraction listed as part of your tour.

For this reason, it would not be fair if you cancel the tour you had booked hours or minutes before it starts and decide not to pay for it. For this reason, we have established a policy:

1. FOR TOURS IN LIMA CITY & SHORE EXCURSION FROM CALLAO PORT:

• Once your tour is confirmed is very important to send us your passport number as it is required to issue the invoice to the Peruvian government and comply with our mandatory commercial declarations. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this process. This information will be strictly between you and us, used only for what we mentioned before. Thank you for your understanding.

CANCELLATIONS:

• If  you cancel at least 24 hours in advance of the start of the tour: 100% of the amount paid will be refunded. But banking costs or processing fees will be borne by the customer and deducted from the amount to be refunded.
• If you cancel on the same day of the tour, no refund will be made.

• Rescheduling must be done at least 1 day in advance, no additional charges will apply.
