  • All tours have a tour director available to you 24/7 throughout the tour.

  • All reservations for bus tours are fully transferable and you may transfer your seat to anyone else, at any time, without penalty or any administrative fee. Simply send us an email through the Contact Us button at the top of the page. 
  • In the event that a tour is cancelled, the liability of ShortTrips.ca will be limited to providing a rescheduled date for that identical or equivalent tour. 
  • No refunds or adjustments will be made for portions of the trip that you have not taken or used. If you have a problem with the services provided while on tour, inform your tour director or hotel immediately. They will do their best to correct the problem.

  • On trips involving an overnight stay, ShortTrips.ca guarantees a room mate of the same gender for single travellers who wish to share a room and take advantage of double occupancy prices. 
  • There is no single surcharge or single supplement on any of our bus tours. 
  • If you select double occupancy and are travelling by yourself, a roommate of the same gender will be assigned to you.  If we are unable to assign you a roommate, we pay the single occupancy surcharge. Of course, if you wish to have your own private room, you can pay the single occupancy surcharge.

  • Although every effort is made to handle all luggage as carefully as possible, ShortTrips.ca cannot assume liability for loss, theft or damage due to breakage, water, etc.
Price Increases
  • Our prices are based on fixed costs at the time the tour is planned. These costs are dependent on fuel costs, exchange rates and other factors. Should these costs increase, ShortTrips.ca reserves the right to increase the price. 
  • Should the price increase be greater than 5% the customer has the right to cancel the contract for travel services and obtain a full refund of amounts paid, unless the price increase is the result of government taxation. Every effort will be made to advise the consumer and/or your travel agent of any increase at least 15 days prior to your departure date.

Liability
  • ShortTrips.ca acts only in the capacity of an agent in arranging transportation, accommodations, additional side tours and attractions, including meals, and are not responsible for any loss, damage or injury due to an act or default of any company engaged in providing service included in our tours. If our office is advised of a significant change which may affect your enjoyment, every effort will be made to inform you in advance.
  • In the event that a tour or part of a tour cannot be delivered as described due to inclement weather, other "acts of God" or circumstances beyond our control, we will attempt to provide restitution for those parts of the tour that were not delivered to the best of our ability but ShortTrips.ca does not accept liability for circumstances outside our control and does not guarantee refunds.
