CANCELLATION POLICIES TO COVER SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES AS FOLLOWS:

ALL CUSTOMER CANCELLATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA EMAIL or phone and confirmed by us so your cancellation will be on record.

As we are Washingtonians, our tours run rain or shine, we won't cancel for weather unless it is deemed hazardous, in which case a refund/reschedule option will be offered. (We know all the good spots to duck out of the weather!)

Tours may be cancelled by us due to unforeseen circumstances or guide illness. In the event that the Tour Guide cancels the tour, or does not deliver it as promised, you may choose between a rescheduling of the tour OR a full refund of all monies paid or a credit towards an alternative tour. If you choose to accept a credit, the difference in the cost of the alternative tour will be refunded by Bellingham Ghost Tours  or paid by you, as applicable.

You are also welcome to bring along your own interpreter at no extra charge.  If you need to be closer to the guide, please let them know at the start of the tour.  

VISUALLY IMPAIRED CLIENTS

For clients who are visually impaired your guide will ensure that his commentary is descriptive. Guide dogs are welcome on all the tours. We appreciate a heads up and please be sure to introduce yourself to the guide at the start of the tour.
