One of the most common policies you’ll see is the 24-hour cancellation window:

What Does This Mean for Your Booking?
- Plan ahead: If your plans change, notify the operator or GetYourGuide as early as possible.
- Check the fine print: Cancellation terms vary by tour, so always read your booking details carefully.
- Watch out for non-refundable deals: Some special offers or discounts might not allow cancellations or changes.
