You must contact us by email or fax as soon as possible with any request to change your booking and confirm your request in writing.

In the event of either you or a named person on your booking form being unable to join your Walk Andalucia holiday, the place may be transferred to another person but only after: i) a Transfer of Booking form has been completed and returned; ii) the total holiday price on the original booking form has been paid in full, and; iii) written permission of the transfer of place has been given by Walk Andalucia. Although unusual, Walk Andalucia reserves the right to refuse any transfer of place. Each transfer of place will incur a change of booking fee of €20 plus any additional costs incurred to Walk Andalucia.

If Walk Andalucia has to make changes:

In order to maintain your safety, enjoyment and comfort during your holiday, Walk Andalucia reserves the right to make changes to your itinerary due to unforeseen circumstances, e.g. severe weather conditions. If Walk Andalucia has to make major changes to your holiday prior to your holiday start date, you will be notified of the changes in advance in writing. If you are not satisfied with the changes, you will be offered an alternative holiday or a full refund of monies paid.

Walk Andalucia reserves the right to exclude any persons from part or all of their holiday itinerary if reasonably judged by the tour leader to be: inappropriately insured; physically or mentally unfit to participate safely and responsibly, or; behaving in an inappropriate or offensive manner. In such circumstances, refunds might be made at the discretion of Walk Andalucia.
