I contacted this company to cancel a shore excursion from the Salaverry port. I did this 2 weeks before the scheduled tour.
Buyer beware, communication and request for payment was prompt when I enquired about the tour months in advance, but being concerned ships were cancelling all Peru ports, I decided to cancel well outside of their penalty phase for cancelation. I sent several emails before getting a response, never received the refund.
