PRICES quoted herein are based on current rates and are subject to change without notice. Should tour costs increase, Valhalla Tours has the right to increase the price accordingly.

You must notify us of your intention at least 48 hours after notification or if the change is a last minute change - within 24 hours of notification.
Where a tour package includes air - the price may be based on a seat sale / promotional airfare which may not always be available at time of booking. A surcharge may therefore be added to the tour price.
