Terms & Conditions of Booking

Welcome to Halal Travel Guide! Please take a moment to read these terms before booking. By booking with us, you’re confirming your understanding and agreement with the policies below, which are designed to help ensure a smooth, enjoyable experience for everyone.

1. BOOKING & PAYMENT TERMS

DEPOSIT & PAYMENT SCHEDULE:

● A £100 deposit is needed to secure your booking. This deposit helps us hold your spot and is non-refundable and non-transferable.

● After securing your spot with the £100 deposit, we ask for a further £300 contribution towards the trip cost within 6 weeks. This, too, is non-refundable, but it helps confirm your commitment to joining us on the journey!

FOR INSTALLMENT PLANS:

● If you’d like to pay in instalments, we’re happy to offer up to 3 equal payments at no extra cost. Any payments made after the initial deposit are non-refundable to ensure that your place is set, and all instalments must be completed 8 weeks before the trip.

FINAL PAYMENT:

● For all trips, we kindly ask for the remaining balance no later than 8 weeks before departure.

● For last-minute bookings (within 2 months of departure), we’ll need full payment 6 weeks before departure or within two weeks after booking, whichever comes first.

TRAVEL INSURANCE:

● We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance at the time of booking to protect against any unexpected cancellations, disruptions, or health issues. Halal Travel Guide does not cover these risks, whether or not insurance is purchased. Opting for insurance provides peace of mind that you’re covered in case of last-minute changes to your plans.

2. CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

CANCELLATION TIMELINE & FEES:

● If you cancel more than 10 weeks before your trip, we’ll retain the deposit and any contributions made up to that point, to cover any non-recoverable costs we have incurred up to that point. We will refund you/not charge you the remaining balance of your trip. 

● Cancelling 4 weeks before departure means a 50% charge of the total trip cost, while cancelling within 3 weeks means a 100% charge.

● To keep things simple, we’re unable to offer refunds or credits after your trip has started, as we have already paid our local partners and vendors by this point.

TRANSFERRING YOUR SPOT:

● If something comes up and you can’t join us, you’re welcome to transfer your spot to someone else! Just note that arranging a replacement is up to you, and any payments made to date are non-refundable.

3. PRE-TRIP ESSENTIALS

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS:

● For a smooth journey, please check the entry requirements of your destination, such as visas and health checks. While we’re here to support, it’s ultimately up to you to confirm any requirements. 

SCREENING & HEALTH:

● After booking, all guests go through a quick screening process. If anything prevents your participation, don’t worry—we’ll refund your deposit.

● To help us prepare for any special needs, please let us know about any health considerations when booking. This information is confidential and only helps us better serve you.

4. YOUR TRIP EXPERIENCE

FLEXIBLE ITINERARY:

● The itinerary we provide is a flexible guide. Adjustments may be made by the tour leader to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment, especially in the case of changing weather, closures, or health requirements. Any changes will be made with the group’s overall experience in mind.

ROOMING ARRANGEMENTS:

● Accommodation details will be shared in your Booking Voucher. For solo travellers booking a twin/shared room, we will do our best to pair you with another traveller of the same gender.

● Sharing a Twin room: Please note, if we are unable to find a same-gender roommate for you, a Single Room upgrade will be required, and this will incur an additional charge. By booking a twin/shared room as a solo traveller, you acknowledge that this upgrade and its cost may apply if a roommate is unavailable.

FLIGHTS:

● In the event of flight cancellations or delays, we’re here to help where we can, so please keep it touch! Arranging alternative flights will be your responsibility. If a delay means missing part of the trip, please note that we’re unable to offer refunds.

5. RESPONSIBILITY & SAFETY

ASSUMPTION OF RISK:

● Joining our tours means you’re aware of the natural risks that come with adventure travel. These may include, but aren’t limited to, potential injuries, illnesses, or unexpected events.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:

● While we strive to create safe and enjoyable experiences, Halal Travel Guide can’t be held responsible for injuries, losses, or disruptions due to factors outside our control, such as natural disasters or unforeseen events.

MEDICAL RESPONSIBILITY:

● If you need medical attention during the trip, we’ll do our best to assist. However, any medical expenses are your responsibility, so travel insurance is a wise choice.

WAIVER OF LIABILITY:

● By joining us, you’re agreeing to waive any claims against Halal Travel Guide, even in cases of possible negligence on our part. We strongly advise insurance to cover these and other risks.

6. PHOTOGRAPHS & MEDIA

MEDIA USE:

● We love to capture the magic of our journeys! By joining us, you agree that any photos or videos taken during the trip may be used for promotional purposes. If you’d rather not appear in these, please let us know before your trip.

● If you’d like access to these photos or videos for personal use, reach out to us—we’ll be happy to share them where possible, either as a courtesy or with a small fee.

Thank you for reading, and for choosing Halal Travel Guide! We’re here to make your trip as enriching and memorable as possible. If you have any questions about these terms or need assistance at any stage, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We can’t wait to travel with you!
