Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client", "you", or "your") and Luminary Tours LLC ("Luminary Tours", "we", "our", or "us"), a limited liability company registered in the United States.

By accessing our website at luminarytours.com or booking any of our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

Luminary Tours provides premium private tour experiences, transportation services, and travel consulting across multiple destinations including Japan, South Korea, Morocco, Egypt, and Brazil. Specific service offerings, availability, and pricing are detailed on our destination pages and confirmed in your booking documentation.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service at any time without prior notice. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate changes to clients with existing bookings.

All bookings are subject to availability and confirmed only upon receipt of full or agreed partial payment. A booking confirmation email constitutes the formation of a contract between you and Luminary Tours LLC.

• Deposit: A non-refundable deposit may be required at the time of booking, as specified in your tour quote.
• Balance: The remaining balance is due no later than 30 days prior to the tour departure date, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• Currency: All prices are quoted in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated.
• Payment processing: Payments are processed securely through Stripe. By providing payment information, you authorize Luminary Tours to charge the applicable fees.

We understand that travel plans may change. The following cancellation policy applies to all bookings:

• 60+ days before departure: Full refund of amounts paid, minus any non-refundable deposit.
• 30–59 days before departure: 50% refund of the total booking value.
• 15–29 days before departure: 25% refund of the total booking value.
• 14 days or fewer before departure: No refund. The full booking amount is forfeited.

Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to hello@luminarytours.com. The cancellation date is the date on which we receive your written request.

We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellations, medical emergencies, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Requests to change booking dates, itineraries, or group sizes must be submitted in writing at least 21 days before the tour departure date and are subject to availability. Amendment fees may apply. Changes within 21 days of departure may be treated as a cancellation and re-booking.

We reserve the right to cancel or alter a tour due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to:

• Natural disasters, extreme weather, or acts of God.
• Civil unrest, political instability, or government travel advisories.
• Pandemic or public health emergencies.
• Insufficient bookings to operate a viable tour.

In the event of cancellation by Luminary Tours, you will receive a full refund of all amounts paid, or the option to reschedule at no additional cost. We shall have no further liability to you.

By booking with Luminary Tours, you agree to:

• Ensure that all members of your traveling party hold valid passports and any required visas for the destinations visited.
• Disclose any medical conditions, dietary requirements, or physical limitations that may affect your ability to participate in activities.

• Comply with all local laws, regulations, and customs of the countries you visit.
• Arrive on time for all scheduled activities and transportation.
• Obtain appropriate travel insurance covering medical emergencies, cancellations, and personal liability.

Luminary Tours LLC acts as a tour operator and coordinator. We work with third-party suppliers including hotels, transportation providers, and local guides. While we carefully vet all partners, we are not liable for:

• Loss, damage, or injury caused by the acts or omissions of third-party service providers.
• Loss or damage to personal belongings during a tour.
• Delays, cancellations, or changes caused by factors outside our control (force majeure).
• Illness, injury, or death arising from participation in tour activities.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Luminary Tours' total liability to you shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the specific booking giving rise to the claim.

In no event shall Luminary Tours be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Luminary Tours LLC and its officers, employees, agents, and partners from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your breach of these Terms, your use of our services, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
