Eligibility
Our clients are responsible for choosing small group tours appropriate to their own fitness level. Minors (under age 18) must be accompanied by an adult. Minimum age of participants for bike and hotel or walking and hotel tours is ten years old. There is no minimum age for bike and barge tours.
Release of Liability Form
A release form will be sent to you and must be signed and returned to VGT prior to departure.
Helmets
We strongly recommends that all bicyclists wear helmets. On many tours helmets are provided, or are available to rent. Please see individual tour details (under “Included”) for more information about helmets.
Bicycle Insurance
You will be responsible for theft and damage to a bike rented through VGT. Do not leave your bike unattended, even for a minute! On some tours bike insurance is included, or is available for purchase. Please see the “Included” section in individual tour details for more information on whether this is included for your chosen tour.
Changes to the Itinerary
Due to unforeseen circumstances, on rare occasions we sometimes need to alter the accommodations or routes from those mentioned in the itinerary. In these circumstances, all efforts are made to select an alternative hotel of the same high quality and to keep the route changes to a minimum. VGT also reserves the right to cancel a tour for any reason. In the unlikely event that this happens a refund of all money received will be made.
Fuel (only for bike and barge tours)
The (barge)tour prices are based on the current fuel price. Should the fuel price increase more than 10%, then we need to ask a supplement. Even for reservations that already have been made.
