Archaeological Paths (hereinafter referred to as the “Tour Operator”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) is a Tour Operator that plans and executes one-of-a-kind tours that delve into the destination’s history, culture, and customs and often include uniquely curated experiences for our tour guest (hereinafter referred to as the “Traveler”, “you”, “your”, and “their”).

Contract: We draw your attention to the Terms and Conditions of travel below. These Terms and Conditions, including all brochures, documents, correspondence, and the terms and conditions of our Suppliers, form the basis of the Contract with you (hereinafter The Agreement). Before making a booking with us you must ensure that you have read and understand these Terms and Conditions (raising any questions you may have with us). By asking us to confirm your booking you are accepting all of the Terms and Conditions laid out below and acknowledging that you have read the terms of this Contract and agree with it. By booking a tour with us, you are accepting and consenting to The Agreement. If you do not agree to the Terms and Conditions of The Agreement, you must not make any booking with us. The Agreement supersedes any and all previous communications between the parties, whether written or oral, with respect to the same. If you are making a group booking, the leader of the group is responsible for sharing these Terms and Conditions with all members of the group and is financially responsible for the booking. If a travel agent makes the booking on your behalf, the agent is responsible for sharing these Terms and Conditions with you and all the members of the group you are traveling with and is financially responsible for the booking. We will not be liable for a group leader’s or travel agent’s failure to share these Terms and Conditions with all travelers in their group. The Agreement affects a tour organized by the Tour Operator for the Traveler. The Traveler confirms that all personal information provided is correct. In case of any incorrect information provided on the Registration Form (The Agreement) or over the telephone, the Traveler shall cover the costs of any potential changes in relation to their reservation. The Terms and Conditions are provided to the Traveler upon booking. By pre-booking the tour and making a deposit payment over the phone, The Traveler fully accepts the Terms and Conditions of this Contract as well as the Cancellation and Refund Policy. Upon pre-booking the tour over the phone, the Traveler is required to fill out, sign, and submit the Registration Form to the Tour Operator no later than 14 calendar days after the deposit payment or to authorize a travel consultant to fill out the Registration Form on the Traveler’s behalf based on the personal information provided over the phone by the Traveler. In such a case, the Traveler shall receive a filled-out Registration Form to their email address and send an email to the Tour Operator no later than 14 calendar days after the deposit payment confirming that all the information on the Registration Form is correct. Failure to meet any of those requirements will be deemed a cancellation by the Traveler and will result in automatic cancelation of the Traveler’s reservation in accordance with the Cancellation and Refund Policy as described in the below Terms and Conditions.

Pricing: All prices shown on the Registration Form or quoted on the telephone are per person and in U.S. dollars. Pricing may vary depending on a tour and its date, as well as the time of registration. When booking Solar Eclipse 2027 Egypt Tours, all tour prices are based on costs and U.S. dollar exchange rates, tariffs, tour transportation, fuel surcharges, and airfares in effect at the time of posting. Pricing is based on standard capacities on vehicles and at restaurants, hotels, and other venues and does not include any costs that may be incurred due to any capacity limitations that may be imposed for any reason. All tour prices are based on costs in effect at the time of posting. While we do everything possible to maintain the listed prices, they are subject to change. In the case of early bookings, the Traveler has the opportunity to book the tour at the lowest prices, which the Tour Operator will attempt to maintain for early reservations. For reservations made later, the then-current prices will be offered. However, in the event of a significant increase in prices of any type in Egypt, the Tour Operator reserves the right to adjust the tour price, including the single room supplement fee if applicable, for all Travelers, including those with early bookings, which the Traveler hereby fully accepts. The Traveler subject to an additional charge will have the option to decline the price increase and cancel the reservation at no cost—in which case the Tour Operator will refund 100% of payments already made, excluding transaction (bank) fees. By June 30, 2026 (i.e., by the time the second deposit is due), the Tour Operator will inform the Traveler of any potential changes in the tour price.

The Tour Operator reserves the right to change the payment methods which – upon such a change is made – shall automatically come into force. In certain cases, you have the ability to dispute charges with credit card companies ("chargebacks"). Before initiating a chargeback, the Traveler undertakes to send an email to contact@archaeologicalpaths.com concerning any questions or concerns about our charges, so that we can work with you in an attempt to resolve your concerns.

The Tour Operator incurs costs with the Suppliers of your tour well in advance of your tour date. All Suppliers have their own cancellation policies, which apply to your booking. Upon receipt of your cancellation request, we will contact the Suppliers for any applicable refunds subject to the Supplier’s terms and conditions. If you are entitled to a refund, please note that the Supplier is responsible for this refund, not the Tour Operator. Suppliers may choose to provide a travel voucher or credit in lieu of a refund. We are not responsible for a Supplier’s failure to pay a refund or for the Supplier's bankruptcy or insolvency. In addition to the terms and conditions of the Supplier, the following applies to all cancellations.

During the tour, no refund shall be made for transfers, sightseeing tours, additional trips, additional nights, room upgrades, unused site entries, or any other services, including but not limited to meals, accommodation, or transportation, voluntarily not taken. If the Traveler decides to leave the tour in progress voluntarily, the Traveler shall not receive any type of refund.

Cancellation by the Tour Operator: The Tour Operator reserves the right to cancel any tour before departure, in which case the Tour Operator will provide the Traveler with a full refund of all net payments paid to the Tour Operator unless the cancellation is due to a force majeure or an extraordinary event that makes it infeasible to operate the Tour as normal.

Force Majeure: The Tour Operator assumes no liability for any loss, damage, delay, or cancellation resulting in whole or in part from an Act of God or any other force majeure condition, including, without limitation: fire, volcanic eruption, hurricane, environmental pollution or contamination, inclement weather, earthquake, low or high water levels, flood, water or power shortages or failures, tropical storms or hurricanes, riots or civil commissions or disturbances, and any other acts of a similar nature, sabotage, arrests, strikes or labor disruptions, restraint of rulers or peoples, expropriations, acts of terrorism, war, insurrection, quarantine restrictions, government health advisories, governmental and administrative actions (including the closure of borders, tourist attractions, and travel warnings and restrictions), epidemics, pandemics, or warnings or alerts of any kind of nature, government seizures, refusal or cancellation or suspension or delay of any government authority or any license, permit or authorization, damages to its facilities or the travel Supplier and its facilities, or any other unforeseen circumstances or any other factors unforeseen by The Tour Operator that impacts negatively on, or hampers, its ability to fulfill any of its contractual conditions. In the circumstances amounting to force majeure, the Tour Operator shall provide the Traveler with a possibility of rescheduling the tour or with a credit toward a future tour. The credit shall be equivalent to the amount paid by the Traveler to the Tour Operator less any sums the Tour Operator is not able to recover from Suppliers. The rescheduling of the tour or credit equivalent toward a future tour or both is at the Tour Operator's discretion. The Tour Operator is not responsible for services purchased by the Traveler which are not part of the tour package (e.g., advance airline tickets, transaction fees, or travel insurance). Payments made toward the tour shall not be applied to another tour unless a separate agreement made between the Tour Operator and the Traveler provides otherwise. In the event of an agreement made between the Tour Operator and the Traveler, which shall result in applying the Traveler’s funds to another date in full or partially, the transferred funds shall become non-refundable in any case. The transferred funds may be applied to another tour again only if the Tour Operator cancels the tour for which the Traveler is registered at that time without the possibility of a refund. Any complaints or refund inquiries must be made by the Traveler via e-mail to contact@archaeologicalpaths.com within 30 days after the end of the tour or cancellation of the tour. Complaints and refund inquiries sent later than 30 days after the end of the tour, or cancellation of the tour, will not be considered by the Tour Operator. Complaints and refunds inquiries shall be considered by the Tour Operator within 30 days from the date of the inquiry and if there is a need for our Suppliers or Partners to send us any supplementary documents, this period may be extended by an additional 30 days.

Documentation: The Traveler is responsible for obtaining all documents, such as a valid passport, visas, travel or medical certificates, and any other documents, and getting any vaccines required by a country of travel at the time of travel to participate in the tour. The Traveler needs a passport with sufficient blank visa pages for entry and exit stamp and valid for at least six months after the date of departure from a country of travel. Any extra costs incurred for rerouting due to lack of the necessary documents are the Traveler’s responsibility. It is your responsibility to be aware of any and all requirements for admittance to a country, including Covid-19 requirements

Responsibility/Assumption of Risk/Release: The Tour Operator is not responsible for any injury, financial or material loss, death, inconvenience, delay, or damage to personal property in connection with the provision of any goods or services whether resulting from but not limited to acts of God or force majeure, illness, disease, government actions, weather, natural disasters, acts of war, civil unrest, insurrection or revolt, animals, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist activities of any kind, overbooking or downgrading of services, food poisoning, mechanical or other failures of aircraft or other means of transportation or for the failure of any transportation mechanism to arrive or depart on time, or any delay or cancellation that causes the Traveler to miss all or any portion of the tour. The Traveler releases the Tour Operator from and agrees not to sue or make claim against the Tour Operator for, property damage, cancellation of any excursions for any reason, including illness, negligent rescue operations or procedures, personal injury, or death arising out of the participation in any activities during the tour, and any activity related thereto, including transportation to and from the site of the attractions, regardless of whether such property damage, illness, personal injury, or death results from the negligence of the Tour Operator, and/or from any defect in the equipment. If the Traveler decides to participate in activities including but not limited to any excursions involving animals, riding on animals, hot-air ballooning, climbing and any other activity that the Tour Operator considers to carry inherent risk of serious illness, injury, or death, then the Traveler fully understands and acknowledges that such activities carry with them various inherent risks, include but are not limited to: serious illness, injury or death; motor vehicles collisions, animals, roadway hazards, slips, and falls, malfunction of climbing equipment, improper equipment, balloon accident; criminal or terrorist acts, government actions, consumption of alcoholic beverages, tainted food, or non-potable water; exposure to the elements, including heat, cold, sun, water, and wind; your own negligence and/or the negligence of others, including tour guides, other travelers, Tour Operator and its employees, agents and/or representatives; attack by or encounter with insects, reptiles, and/or animals; accidents or illness occurring in remote places where there are no available medical services; fatigue, chill, overheating, and/or dizziness; known or unknown medical conditions, physical excursion for which you are not prepared or other such accidents; the negligence or lack of adequate training of any third-party providers who seek to assist with medical or other help either before or after injuries have occurred; accident or illness without access to means of rapid evacuation or availability of medical supplies or services; and the adequacy of medical attention once provided.

The Tour Operator is not responsible for any services that do not form part of the agreement. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities that the hotel or any other Supplier agrees to provide for the Traveler where the services or facilities are not advertised by the Tour Operator as forming part of the tour and the Tour Operator has not arranged them as part of the agreement. The Traveler understands that the hotel facilities used by the Tour Operator during the tour are owned by third-party entities and that the Tour Operator assumes no liability for the photographs and descriptions of rooms, room upgrades and other facilities provided by these entities. By booking a hotel or cruise ship upgrade through the Tour Operator, The Traveler accepts that the desired upgrade will be booked in accordance with the hotel’s or cruise ship’s policy and their upgrade categorization for which the Tour Operator is not responsible. The Tour Operator shall not be held responsible for any misrepresentation in the upgrade description and images as well as for any inconsistencies between the representation of the upgrade and the actual state of the upgrade and shall not provide the Traveler with any type of refund or voucher in connection to that. The Traveler agrees not to submit any claims with regard to the above.

COVID-19 Release of Liability: By booking a tour at this time, you acknowledge the highly contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk for yourself and any minors traveling with you that you or they may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by traveling and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death even if such injuries or losses occur in a manner that is not foreseeable at the time you book your tour. You acknowledge that exposure to such viruses or disease is an inherent risk of traveling, that cannot be controlled or eliminated by the Tour Operator. You acknowledge that – due to the uncertainty of travel at this time – your tour may be postponed or cancelled or changes may be made to itineraries due to closures of certain sites or activities, for which our COVID-19 Release of Liability shall be in effect. None of these modifications or changes listed in the „COVID-19 Release of Liability” section shall affect the tour price or entitle the Traveler to any credit or refund. You may also be required to quarantine upon arrival in some locations. Some locations may require you to have a vaccination or proof of a negative test. You may have additional reentry requirements on your return home. You are responsible for understanding these requirements and must not rely on the Tour Operator to provide these details. You understand that you may become sick before, during, or after the tour and may not be able to travel and such cancellation or interruption will be subject to our cancellation terms, for which we will not be liable. If you test positive during the tour, you may be required to spend a certain period in isolation or quarantine at a hotel. The Tour Operator shall cover the cost of the Traveler’s stay at the hotel until the last day of the Traveler’s tour, including additional nights at hotels booked earlier through the Tour Operator. This applies only when the hotel used by the Traveler is the same as in the tour package offered by the Tour Operator. You, for yourself, and any minors traveling with you, and on behalf of your and their heirs, assigns, personal representatives, and next of kin (The Releasors), hereby release, and hold harmless the Tour Operator, its members, officers, agents, and/or employees, Suppliers, and other tour members (releasees), of from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, losses, and liability arising out of or related in any way, in whole or in part to any postponement, cancellation, changes, injury, disability, death or any other loss you may suffer due to exposure, infection, spread, closure, and travel restrictions related to COVID-19, whether arising from the negligence of the releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law. The terms of this hold harmless and release of all liability paragraph shall survive any termination or cancellation of this Contract, whether by operation of law or otherwise.

Itineraries: The Traveler fully understands that the travel experience may differ depending on individual goals and expectations. The Tour Operator will not be bound by, or liable for, any description, photograph, representation, or warranty made by or provided by the Tour Operator’s promotional materials. All elements connected to the tour presented in the promotional materials are subject to modification and change by the Tour Operator. Every effort will be made to operate the tour and its itinerary as planned, but alterations may still occur after the final itineraries have been prepared. The Tour Operator reserves the right to change the itinerary or tour features at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, and the Tour Operator shall not be liable for any loss of any kind as a result of any such changes. The Tour Operator reserves the right to substitute hotels or attractions. In the event of a change of accommodation, the Tour Operator guarantees the same or similar standard. In case of exclusion of a given attraction, visit, or meeting from the itinerary, the Tour Operator reserves the right to cancel such a visit and replace it with another site/attraction, or meeting. The Traveler shall acknowledge that during certain holidays and peak periods or due to repairs or renovations of sites, some activities may be disrupted or unavailable. Each group is limited to a given number of people as advertised in promotional materials; however, multiple groups of Archaeological Paths’ guests, as well as other passengers, may be traveling aboard a cruise ship on the Nile simultaneously or participating in certain activities. The stated group maximum size may be marginally exceeded if necessary to accommodate a family or parties traveling together. None of these modifications or changes listed in the „Itineraries” section shall affect the tour price or entitle the Traveler to any credit or refund.

Travel Concierge: Tours are attended by a Travel Concierge during the main tour Itinerary. In the unlikely event, the Tour Operator reserves the right to organize the tour on an individual basis, without the presence of the Travel Concierge. Pre- or post-tour add-ons are organized on a locally hosted basis and are attended by English-speaking experts.

Photography: The Tour Operator reserves the right to take photographs or record videos during the tour or any part thereof and to use the resulting photography, videos, or recordings for promotional or commercial use. By making a reservation on the tour, the Traveler agrees to allow their likeness to be used by the Tour Operator or the Tour Operator’s authorized third parties without compensation to the Traveler. If the Traveler prefers their likeness not to be used, the Traveler must notify the Tour Operator in writing prior to the tour. If such a notification is made during or after the tour, The Tour Operator shall be released from any responsibility related to any potential use of the Traveler’s likeness. 

Special Requests: Any health conditions, treatments, or dietary requests requiring special attention must be reported by the Traveler in writing at the time of registration. While every effort will be made to fulfill the Traveler’s special requests, the Tour Operator cannot guarantee their fulfillment. Depending upon the nature of the Traveler’s requirements, all extra costs for any potential arrangements shall be covered by the Traveler.

Air Transportation: International airfare (to the tour starting point and from the ending point) is not included in tour pricing. The Tour Operator can offer quotations from any gateway. By standard, all payments made by the Tour Operator for the Traveler’s international airfare are non-refundable and we are not responsible for any air carrier’s decision regarding refund unless separate agreements between the Traveler and the Tour Operator provide otherwise.

Behavior/Indemnification: The Tour Operator will not tolerate abusive or aggressive behavior from the Traveler. The Tour Operator will refuse to deal with and may terminate the tour of a traveler who assaults staff, Suppliers, or fellow travelers or who is abusive or aggressive to them and is generally affecting the enjoyment of others with their behavior. The Tour Operator reserves the right at any time and our discretion to terminate the travel arrangements with the Traveler and/or cease to deal with any party member(s) whose behavior, in the reasonable opinion of the Tour Operator or our Suppliers, may cause danger, upset, disruption or distress to anyone else or damage to property. In such a case, the Traveler is responsible for the cost of travel back to their hometown and the Tour Operator shall not be liable for the Traveler’s potential losses and no refund shall be provided. Traveler agrees to and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Tour Operator, and each of our officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively “Tour Operator”), from any expenses, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, and costs (collectively, “damages”) involved with or incurred by the Tour Operator (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the advancement of same) with respect to any claims, lawsuits, arbitrations, or other causes of action, which result, directly or indirectly, from: (i) the Traveler’s breach or violation, or threatened breach or violation, of this Agreement and (ii) any damage caused by the Traveler while participating on the tour. While the Tour Operator values opinions and points of view of each Traveler and appreciates every bit of feedback shared with the Tour Operator, or on the Tour Operator’s website, or other platforms, the Traveler shall ensure that that their review of the tour or any other service provided by the Tour Operator is consistent with facts and real events that have taken place during the tour and concerns only those components of the tour in which the Traveler personally participated or used. The Traveler's review should relate to the entire tour and include all its aspects in an honest and complete manner. The Traveler agrees to avoid any form of blackmailing, bad publicity, or actions that aim to damage the Tour Operator’s image. The Traveler accepts that failure to respect the above-mentioned provisions enables the Tour Operator to take legal actions against the Traveler and recover any costs, including attorney’s fees, as well as seek compensation from the Traveler for any potential damages related to the Tour Operator’s image and financial losses.

Roommates: Single Travelers may choose to share a room with another tour participant during the tour. In such a case, the Tour Operator will try to find a roommate for the single Traveler. If the Tour Operator is unable to find a roommate for the single Traveler, the single Traveler will need to pay for the single supplement at the rate applicable at the time of this change. If the Traveler has already been assigned to a shared room with another participant before, during, or after a standard tour and then decides to purchase the single supplement for himself/herself, the Traveler shall also purchase the single supplement for the participant he/she was paired with to share the room initially. The cost of the single supplement shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions applying at the time of the requested change.

Additional Nights: The Traveler may purchase additional hotel nights through the Tour Operator. The additional hotel night includes meals (as stated in the individual offer sent to the Traveler via email before the tour), Travel Insurance, the assistance of the Tour Operator’s representative, and airport transfer(s) on a non-standard arrival/departure day. If the Traveler purchases additional hotel night(s) on their own, the Tour Operator shall not provide the Traveler with airport transfers to/from the hotel on non-standard arrival and departure days, meals, Travel Insurance, and assistance of the Tour Operator’ representative during the additional day(s) and the Traveler’s extended stay at the hotel will be at their sole expense. If the Traveler participates in an add-on that ends a day before the standard arrival day of the main tour or in an add-on that starts a day after the standard departure day of the main tour, the Traveler shall purchase an additional hotel night(s).

Hotel Check-in: Check-ins at the hotels usually take place during the midafternoon. If the Traveler wishes to have a guaranteed room ready for their immediate check-in upon arrival, it requires an additional room night to be confirmed. Early check-in depends on hotel availability and, therefore, cannot be guaranteed.

Tailor-Made Tours: The Traveler may book a Tailor-Made Tour customized to their own specific needs. In such a case, the Tour Operator shall prepare an individual tour offer for the Traveler. The price per person included on the Registration Form for such Tailor-Made Tour is based specifically on the number of travelers booking the Tailor-Made Tour. In the event that the number of travelers decreases, the Tour Operator reserves the right to increase the price per person included previously on the Registration Form. The Tour Operator shall notify the Traveler about the increase of the price per person. The Traveler shall agree to pay the increased price for their Tailor-Made Tour prior to the tour.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Clause: The Tour Operator takes the privacy of the Traveler seriously and will only use their personal information (entered on the Registration Form and in email messages by the Traveler, or passed to the Tour Operator during telephone conversations with the Tour Operator’s consultants) to administer the Traveler’s tour and to provide the tour services the Traveler has requested from the Tour Operator.

Choice of Law/Jurisdiction/Class Action Waiver/Limitation of Damages/Notice of Claim: Any disputes between the Tour Operator and the Traveler shall be settled by the court having jurisdiction over the Tour Operator. You agree that you will only bring claims against The Tour Operator in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.
