TRIPS & TOURS REFUND POLICY
These tours require advance coordination with our transportation partners and host gardens, and as such, all reservations are final. We are unable to offer refunds or exchanges once registration is complete, regardless of personal circumstances or scheduling conflicts. This policy ensures we can uphold our commitments to our partners and continue offering high-quality, thoughtfully curated experiences.
Refunds will only be issued if NEBG must cancel the trip due to unforeseen circumstances such as severe weather, political unrest, emergency shutdowns, or if the minimum number of registered participants is not met. In the event of a cancellation, all registrants will be notified promptly and refunded in full.
We appreciate your understanding and your support of NEBG’s adult education programming.
