Guest Conduct
Each guest will conduct themselves in an adult and civil manner to not only me, but my other guests and my guides. I have no tolerance for toxic and rude behavior. You have come on the tour to learn, not to teach/argue or try to override me. This, and other discourteous behavior will result in a verbal warning from me, if this behavior continues , you will be released immediately from the tour, with no refund.
And it will be your and only your responsibility to remove yourself from the group both physically and financially. This is also in my contract.
I work very hard to provide my guests with the best experiences and opportunities. The locations, guides and lodging is all part of the experience. If you can’t enjoy these type of experiences, please do not sign up.
