Should Ultimate Italy Tours cancel a trip at any time, for any reason, on which you have a confirmed reservation, we will not only refund all monies paid by you, but we will also give you a $200 credit you can use to transfer to another tour that same week or use on any trip for which space is available departing within the next 12 months.
