Payments 

Payments for Day Tours are collected while booking. Passengers are obliged to present their voucher (Confirmation ticket), which states that the tour has been paid in full, to the driver-guide.

Cancellations or change of reservations by customers 

Tours which are prepaid online have a 10 % cancellation fee (that means 90 % refund) when cancelled more than 24 hours prior to the departure. When a cancellation is received less than 24 hours prior to the departure full price of the tour will be charged and there is no refund. (This cancellation policy may apply also when booked through a third party.) When change of reservation is requested more than 24 hour prior to the departure, no fee is applied. Change of reservation less than 24 hours prior to the departure is not possible.  All cancellations must be made in writing (e-mail for instance), in conformity with business practices within the Icelandic travel industry.

No Show

When a passenger is not present on the submitted pickup place at the beginning of the pickup time, the driver-guide is obliged to continue the pickup of other passengers and is allowed to start the tour without the missing passenger (in order not to delay the tour for the rest of the passengers). This is considered as "No Show" and no refund is provided.  

 

Right to alter or cancel tours 

Icelandic Guides reserves all rights to delay, alter or cancel tours due to weather or any unsafe conditions for the safety of the clients.   

  There is a minimum number of passengers set for standard Day Tours, number is stated in the tours' description. Icetours has the right not to operate a tour when the minimum number of passengers is not reached.   

Refunds Refunds of tours cancelled before departure by Icetours

When the tour is prepaid online, a full refund will be issued in case a customer does not wish an alternative date of the tour or an alternative tour. When a tour is a subject of a "pay as you go" payment, no refund is eligible to be demanded as no payment was done prior to the tour. When a tour is purchased through a third party (tourist office/booking agency or a hotel), please take your voucher back to the third party and they will issue the full refund after reconfirming with Icetours that the tour was cancelled.

  

Refunds of delayed, altered or shortened tours after the departure 

When a tour is delayed due to weather, any unsafe travel conditions or unforeseen circumstances, no refunds are provided if the tour still operates. When the tour is altered or shortened after the departure due to weather, any unsafe travel conditions or unforeseen circumstances a partial refund is provided. The percentage of the refund is calculated according to how much of the initial itinerary has been completed.
