PLEASE NOTE:
•Planning a complicated trip of this nature so far in advance is obviously a difficult undertaking, as unexpected events may occur. Go Ahead Tours and the trip organizers reserve the right to make changes in our itineraries and modify transportation arrangements, if circumstances so demand.
•In the unlikely event that a paid entrance to a site or attraction is unavailable, Go Ahead Tours reserves the right to substitute another paid entrance to a comparable site or attraction. Go Ahead will consult with the Group Coordinators (Kirk and Carol Figus) before making any such modifications to the tour’s itinerary. (Note: Our prior Single Malt Society trips encountered no such occurrences.)
•In the event of changes being made, refunds will only be given in accordance with the provisions of the Go Ahead Terms and Conditions.
