Reservations & Payments:

Prices are per person and based upon shared twin room occupancy.

If a beer tour is already full, BBV will accept reservations on a standby-basis. Should space become available, the notified participant has the choice to join the tour by paying in full by credit card or forfeiting the space.

Cancellations and Refunds:

We realize that sometimes things don’t work out the way you planned. If you must cancel your reservation, notify us as in writing as soon as possible. Cancellation refunds will be calculated as of the date we receive your written cancellation.

You will be assessed a cancellation penalty depending on how far in advance we receive this notification, as shown on the accompanying chart. Cancellation penalties will include a non-refundable processing fee of $150 per person for each reservation you cancel. This fee reflects the costs necessary to cover nonrefundable payments we’ve made, and the loss of time available to resell your space. You will receive a refund of all payments made to date, minus the applicable penalty. There are no exceptions to this policy, including weather, sickness, or terrorism. Should you have to cancel due to a medical emergency you may be able to submit a claim to your travel insurance carrier (we highly recommend you buy travel insurance)for Cancellations and Refunds. Refunds will be processed 30 days after our receipt of your written cancellation. Unless otherwise stated in the catalog, for all cancel­lations we will refund the cost of your tour less the following per-person charges. Charges shown include the $150 processing fee.

 

# days prior to departure	Cancellation penalty
121 days or more	$150 per person

We also unfortunately cannot accommodate passengers requiring wheelchair assistance for our European tours and possibly some of our Domestic tours as most features of BBV tours are not wheelchair-accessible. We suggest you contact us to discuss your particular needs before booking.

Although our tours are not considered physically demanding in some cases, we may be on a walking tour or walking from the barge to town which would require walking on cobbled streets or for extended periods up to an hour. Your health and safety during your tour are our first concern, but BBV is not a medical facility. You should be in good health to participate in our vacations.

BBV reserves the right to decline any tour participant whose condition, in our opinion, may affect the health, safety or enjoyment of other participants.

BBV is not responsible for the costs of any medical treatment you may require during the tour. Under no circumstances is BBV responsible for the quality of medical care, or lack thereof, you may receive while on the tour.

Additional hotel nights:

Please contact us if you are interested in extending your stay for any of our beer tours. Pre or post-tour nights at hotels can be requested and are subject to availability.

Travel documents:

Approximately two to three weeks prior to departure, you will receive a travel information package including your detailed itinerary.

Passports and Visas:

Passengers are responsible for ensuring that they have the proper travel documents and MUST CHECK with the respective consulate(s) or visa agency to determine whether any visas or passports are required.

Cancellation by BBV:

Though we do our best to avoid this, it may occasionally become necessary for BBV to cancel a tour. We reserve the right to cancel a tour due to insufficient sign-up, or any other cause. If a tour is cancelled due to low enrollment, you will be notified at least 30 days in advance. In this case, you will receive a refund of all payment made to date.

Refund of payments made constitutes full settlement, and releases BBV from any further liability. BBV is not responsible for any additional expenses incurred by tour participants preparing for a canceled tour, such as nonrefundable airline tickets or passport fees.

If a tour is cancelled due to natural disaster, strike, or other event outside our control, BBV shall not be held responsible; however, participants may elect to submit claims for reimbursement under any applicable insurance that participant may have.

Tour changes:

Tour itineraries are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances such as inclement weather, transportation problems, or an unexpected business closure. Our tour leaders are experienced professionals, and may need to adjust the itinerary to compensate. We’re also continually looking for ways to improve our tours. We may have discovered a special new place since the itinerary was published, that we’d like to share with you. BBV reserves the right to correct promotional or pricing errors at any time.
