Last Updated: 2 September 2026

This policy applies to bookings made with India Food Tour through www.indiafoodtour.com or directly with our team.

Some hotels, flights, tickets, activities or customised services may have their own cancellation conditions. Where special conditions are clearly mentioned in your quotation or booking confirmation, those conditions will apply.

1. How to Cancel

All cancellation requests must be made in writing.

Please email:

info@indiafoodtour.com

The cancellation date will be the date we receive your written request.

2. General Cancellation Charges

Unless different conditions are mentioned in your booking confirmation, the following charges apply to multi-day tours:

Cancellation Before Tour	Cancellation Charge
46 days or more	10%
45–31 days	25%
30–15 days	50%
Less than 15 days	100% – No Refund

These costs may be deducted from any refund.

4. Supplier Cancellation Charges

Hotels and other travel suppliers may have stricter cancellation policies than India Food Tour.

If a supplier has already charged us a non-refundable amount for your booking, that amount may also be deducted from your refund.

5. Date Changes

Requests to change your travel date are subject to availability.

Additional charges may apply because of:

Hotel price differences
Transport costs
Supplier charges
Seasonal price changes
Tickets already purchased

A date change is not guaranteed.

6. No-Show

No refund will normally be provided if you:

Do not arrive for the tour;
Miss the agreed departure time; or
Fail to inform us that you will not be joining.

7. Late Arrival

Please arrive at the agreed meeting point on time.

We will try to assist delayed guests where possible, but we cannot guarantee that the tour can wait or restart.

Services missed because of late arrival are normally non-refundable.

8. Unused Services

No refund will normally be given for services voluntarily not used after your trip has started.

This includes:

Hotels
Meals
Activities
Sightseeing
Transportation
Guides
Other included services

9. Cancellation by India Food Tour

If we have to cancel a service for reasons within our control, we may offer:

Another date;
A suitable alternative service;
Travel credit; or
A refund for the affected service.

The appropriate option will depend on the circumstances.

10. Events Outside Our Control

Travel can sometimes be affected by circumstances outside our control, including:

Extreme weather
Natural disasters
Government restrictions
Political disturbances
Strikes
Road closures
Transport disruption
Closure of attractions
Public health emergencies

We will make reasonable efforts to find suitable alternatives.

Where suppliers have already been paid and their charges cannot be recovered, those amounts may be deducted from any refund.

11. Refund Method

Approved refunds will normally be returned through the original payment method wherever possible.

We may ask for additional information where required for banking, security or fraud-prevention purposes.

12. Refund Processing Time

Once the refundable amount has been confirmed, approved refunds are normally initiated within 7–13. business days.

Banks, credit-card companies and payment gateways may take additional time to credit the amount to your account.

14. Payment and Currency Charges

Payment gateway charges, bank charges and currency-conversion charges already incurred may not be refundable.

The final amount received may also vary because of exchange-rate changes or charges imposed by your bank or card provider.

15. Third-Party Booking Platforms

If you booked through an online travel platform, travel agent or another third party, their cancellation and refund conditions may also apply.

In some cases, the refund must be processed through the same platform used for the original booking.

16. Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend travel insurance that includes trip cancellation and travel disruption cover.

India Food Tour is not responsible for personal costs such as independently booked flights, visas, insurance or other expenses that are not part of your booking with us.
