1.TRAVEL GUIDE Services :- 

TRAVEL GUIDE is a private company. TRAVEL GUIDE is not associated with any Canadian or foreign government offices or embassies. TRAVEL GUIDE is not responsible for the granting or denying of documents. TRAVEL GUIDE acts only as agents for the travelers in making arrangements for services provided by third parties, such as airlines, hotels, buses or other transportation suppliers in connection with TRAVEL GUIDE’s travel packages (hereinafter “Service Providers”).

Our Website displays information about travel locations, airfares, travel agents’ locations, flight times and dates, tours, packages, insurance, cruises, transportation, foreign currency, schedules, travel companies and many other things. Although TRAVEL GUIDE uses best efforts to ensure the information supplied to TRAVEL GUIDE by the Service Providers is correct and up to date, you agree that TRAVEL GUIDE is not liable for the accuracy of such information. Many of the services which made up your travel booking are provided by Service Providers. Service Providers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you.

TRAVEL GUIDE accepts no responsibility for information supplied to us by third parties including the Service Providers. TRAVEL GUIDE recommends that you confirm all information contained on or linked from our Website with the Service Providers. The details of the prices, packages, tours, flights and other information displayed on the Website are subject to change without notice. The travel products and services described on the Website are subject to availability. It should be noted that all documents issued to travelers are non- transferable. Such documents may include but are not limited to, visas, airline tickets, hotel vouchers, tour vouchers, or any other document used to confirm an arrangement with a Service Provider. Such documents may also be subject to conditions such as, but not limited to, being non-refundable, non-date-changeable and subject to cancellation or amendment fees. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with these conditions. If for any reason, any Service Provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies with that Service Provider, and not against TRAVEL GUIDE.

In the event TRAVEL GUIDE received payment by credit card, you agree that you will not seek to chargeback or recover your payment or any other losses from TRAVEL GUIDE.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by TRAVEL GUIDE in writing, you are responsible for obtaining all passports, visa and health information required.

Insurance has to be purchased and paid for in full as soon as the booking is made to become effective.
