At this time, we are unable to offer additional pickup locations other than what is given for each trip.

All of the itinerary information is available on the tour page of the website. If you have additional questions, please email us or give us a call at 615-212-9595. We’d be happy to answer your questions.

Each person’s concept of “too much walking” is different. Each tour will have a Walking Guideline on the tour detail page which can help you assess the level of walking needed for the tour. On most of our tours, you may have the option to drop out of an activity to rest if you need to.

Tickets will be issued by your tour host when you are on the tour.

We don’t assign seats on the bus but will do our best to accommodate special requests on a first come first served basis based on the order in which the reservation was made.

Go With Gilpin is required to pay all suppliers well in advance of your tour date.  This includes but is not limited to hotel accommodations, meals, tickets, transportation, etc. All suppliers have their own cancellation policies, which apply to your booking. Should a cancellation become necessary, please inform Go With Gilpin immediately in writing and request a written confirmation of your cancellation. Upon receipt, Go With Gilpin will follow industry procedures for any applicable refunds as outlined in the supplier’s terms and subject to their review. If you are entitled to a refund, please note that the supplier is responsible for this refund, not Go With Gilpin. Suppliers may choose to provide a travel voucher or credit instead of a refund.  We are not responsible for a supplier’s failure to pay a refund or for supplier bankruptcy or insolvency.

In addition, cancellation charges will apply.  Cancellation charges are expressed at a percentage of the quoted price as follows:

Credit card and processing fees will not be refunded. No refunds will be given under any circumstances for cancellation within thirty (30) days of the tour departure date.  A refund of twenty-five percent (25%) shall be granted if cancellation occurs between 31-59 days prior to the tour departure. A refund of fifty percent (50%) shall be granted if cancellation occurs between 60-90 days prior to the tour departure. A full refund of any funds paid to Us towards attending the tour shall be granted if cancellation occurs 90 or more days prior to the tour departure.

If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel protection plan you may be able to reclaim these charges, for this reason we strongly encourage the purchase of a travel protection plan including additional cancel for any reason coverage. You can purchase travel insurance or by calling 883-297-2258.

There will not be any service charge for the transfer of monies from one tour to another if done 30 days or more prior to the tour departure date, unless there are non-refundable deposits made for this tour on your behalf. If transfer of monies from one tour to another is made within 30 days prior to the tour’s departure, the result will be a $10.00 per person service charge for one-day tours; $25.00 per person service fee for overnight tours, plus any monies that cannot be recovered that were prepaid on your behalf.
