What if it rains or I change my plans?

Fortunately, the weather is predictable in San Diego. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we only have 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this. For more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?

The booking fee that you have to pay is set by our ticketing provider.

Foreign Transaction Fees

FEESA few banks have charged their customers an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
