Cancellations By Us

French Walking Tours STRONGLY recommends that the customer checks with their airline carrier and any pre-trip or post-trip hotels to see what the refund terms and conditions are. Thus, refunds are limited to the above outlined conditions. French Walking Tours will transfer the customer's payments to an alternative trip if so desired.
