Cancellation by Top Class Egypt Travel
In the unlikely event that the Company is required to cancel your confirmed tour, you will be offered either a full refund of all payments made to us, or a rescheduled tour on alternative dates at no additional cost. The Company is not liable for additional expenses independently incurred by the Client — such as international flights or accommodation booked outside our arrangements — in the event of a Company-initiated cancellation.
Refund Processing
Where a refund is due under the cancellation schedule above, we process it promptly and transparently. Here is how it works:
Processing Time
Eligible refunds are processed within 7–14 business days of the written cancellation being confirmed by our team.
Refund Method
Refunds are returned via the same payment method used for the original transaction. Bank transfer fees incurred during the refund are deducted from the refund amount.
Credit Voucher Option
Where eligible, you may opt to receive a credit voucher instead of a cash refund. Vouchers are valid for 12 months from issue date and are transferable to another traveller upon written request.
No-Show Policy
No refund will be issued for a no-show against a confirmed reservation, regardless of the reason. We strongly recommend travel insurance to cover unforeseen circumstances.
Postponing Your Tour
You may request to postpone your tour to a future date, provided that no hotel, flight, or cruise bookings have yet been confirmed on your behalf by our operations team. Once the postponement is agreed in writing, any subsequent cancellation of the rescheduled dates will be subject to the standard cancellation policy calculated from the date of the new confirmation.
Visa Requirements
Entry rules depend on your nationality. Check your own case before you travel — we are happy to advise, but the final responsibility for holding the correct visa rests with the traveller.

|---|---|
| Visa on Arrival | $35 USD — available to many nationalities |
| E-Visa | Applied for online — selected countries |
| Advance Visa | Required for some nationalities |

What We Need From You
To complete a booking we need the following for every traveller: full names exactly as they appear in the passport, dates of birth, nationalities, passport numbers (valid for at least six months), your international flight details for arrival and departure, and the payment receipt once the deposit has been sent.
Check-in & Check-out
Standard hotel check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Early check-in and late check-out can usually be arranged for a supplement.
Name & Date Changes
Name changes may incur a fee once tickets have been issued. Date changes are subject to availability, and adding or removing tours may change the total price.
Health, Safety & Accessibility
Health
No vaccinations are compulsory for Egypt. The WHO and CDC commonly recommend hepatitis A and B, rabies, influenza, mumps and chickenpox. Bring any prescription medicines with you together with the prescription — the same brand names are not always available in Egypt.
Travellers with Disabilities
Travellers with disabilities are very welcome. Tell us before booking and we will arrange accessible accommodation, suitable transport, and an itinerary planned around what works for you.
Safety
Tourist sites in Egypt are well protected and tourist safety is a government priority. You travel with vetted guides and professional drivers, and our team is reachable throughout your trip.
Your Personal Data
The information you give us is used only to arrange your booking. It is kept confidential and is never sold or shared with third parties for their own purposes.
