  • Consumer Agreement
  • General Terms and Conditions The Booking Form is a legal and binding contract; once submitted and confirmed, all provisions in the Terms and Conditions apply. Road Trips: The full fee is due at time of booking to secure a place on the trip. Reservations will be confirmed upon receipt of a signed booking form and payment.

Texas Toast Culinary Tours Company guarantees programs, trips, tours and classes of very high quality for small numbers of participants. The only way to ensure this and to have a continuum of quality, is to guarantee payment to all of the varied people involved in the running of a program; i.e., chefs, drivers, guides, translators, inn keepers, etc. Therefore, it is not possible to refund, except in some very unusual cases. Travel Insurance We strongly recommend the purchase of travel insurance. We have had success with policies offered by Travel Guard, www.travelguard.com. We are happy to assist with any necessary documentation to make your claim. Texas Toast Culinary Tours Company cannot issue refunds or reapplication toward future trips in most cases. If you choose not to purchase travel insurance, you indicate that you understand that all payments are non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be re-applied, sometimes even in the event of an emergency, catastrophe, or unexpected illness, accident, or death. Cancellations Full refunds will be made if Texas Toast Culinary Tours Company cancels a program, which it may do at any time before departure for any reason, including insufficient participants to operate the program. Texas Toast Culinary Tours Company will make every effort to follow any published itinerary, but variances may occur due to availability and factors beyond the control of said operator. Texas Toast Culinary Tours Company may in its sole discretion substitute a service or good of similar quality for any stated in any itinerary. If a tour is cancelled, Texas Toast Culinary Tours Company will make every effort to find a suitable replacement, but its liability is limited to a full refund of payment rendered. Certification of Health By making payment, traveler certifies that he or she does not have any condition or disability that would create a hazard or hardship for other travelers participating in the program and the traveler understands that health care standards, facilities and services in remote areas may be different or inadequate for treatment of certain health conditions. Texas Toast Culinary Tours Company makes no representations or warranties and disclaims any made regarding special accommodations or handicap accessibility on any program. Texas Toast Culinary Tours Company reserves the right to decline accepting or retaining any traveler whose health or actions in the company’s sole judgment impede the operation of a trip or the welfare or enjoyment of fellow travelers. Refunds and Adjustments There will be no refunds for any unused portion of the tour. We hope that your trip will be ideal. However, should there be any problems that are not satisfactorily resolved with your local contact, you must notify Texas Toast Culinary Tours Company while you are at the program. If you do not, there will be no possibility of any adjustment, should that be deemed appropriate. Transfers Where transfers are included, there is one scheduled group transfer for arrival and departure at a designated time and place. It is the responsibility of the tour participant to be at the transfer point at the designated time. Please be advised that if you are arriving and/or departing on the dates of the program, a late arrival or very early departure may necessitate a special transfer at an additional fee. We would be happy to confirm transfers with you before you finalize your travel arrangements. Neither Texas Toast Culinary Tours Company nor its providers are responsible for late arrivals due to flight delays or any other reason. If you are delayed, we will do our best to transfer you to the program whenever you arrive, but please be prepared to pay an additional fee. Tour Prices All prices are per person and based upon double occupancy. If you are a single traveler, confirmation will be based upon and include the posted single supplement for that specific program. (If you wish a roommate, we will try to accommodate your request.) Triple room accommodations may be available upon request. Price is subject to change without notice as a result of adverse economic changes or currency fluctuations that may affect air/land transportation, hotels, or other related service providers.
