We cannot issue refunds if you leave the tour early or choose not to complete the itinerary.
  5. Cycling Difficulty
    Because cycling tours involve a high level of physical difficulty, they are not suitable for individuals with acute or chronic medical conditions (such as cardiovascular diseases, etc.). Please carefully evaluate your own physical condition before participating.
  6. Travel Liability Insurance
    According to the law, Travel Liability Insurance covers accidental mishaps only. Accidents arising from an individual’s personal health conditions are excluded from the scope of coverage. If you feel this coverage is insufficient, please independently purchase additional insurance, such as Travel Accident Insurance or Overseas Sudden Illness Medical and Health Insurance.

Even if a previously contracted disease mentioned above has been cured, it must still be declared truthfully; please carefully consider your physical condition before signing up or ensure you are accompanied by family or friends. Given that cycling tourism involves long-distance challenges with a high intensity of riding, participants must truthfully disclose their health status. If any incident occurs during the tour due to personal health factors, the participant shall assume sole responsibility, and the company shall be held completely free from liability.

Storage space in the support vehicle is limited, and following this guideline helps us keep your luggage secure and easily accessible throughout the tour.
