Activity Level and General Fitness

All Plant-Based Voyage tours require walking and other physical exertion. Depending on the trip, you may walk up to 2-3 miles on average over a day. European trips may be more.  Navigate steps, get in and out of transportation, and manage your personal belongings without assistance. On some tours, especially European tours, the walking can increase to 5-7 miles of walking over a day. For these reasons, our tours are unsuitable for anyone physically challenged, anyone who is walking impaired, or a slow walker who cannot keep up with the group’s pace. We cannot provide individual assistance to you for walking, dining, getting on and off buses and trains, carrying baggage, or other personal needs. Persons needing such assistance must bring a qualified and physically able companion responsible for providing such assistance and/or services.

If a traveler chooses to go on a tour and then opts out of included activities, for whatever reason, no refund will be given.

The effective date of the cancellation, and any cancellation penalties, will be based on the date of receipt of the written cancellation. If you cancel less than 30 days before departure, then you understand that NO REFUNDS will be issued. Refunds for payments made directly to 3rd parties are subject to their refund policies, irrespective of the date of cancellation. Please refer to the cancellation dates on your registration and invoice. Any penalty imposed by your airline(s) is the complete responsibility of the traveler.
