We strongly recommend that you consider purchasing travel insurance. Should illness or an unforeseen event force you to cancel your travel plans after your final payment or during your trip, it would be doubly unfortunate to incur a significant financial loss.
Trip cancellation protection will enable you to be reimbursed for the loss of your payment if you are unable to travel for any of the covered reasons in the “Outline of Coverage” section, or should you have an accident or suffer from any medical conditions during the trip.

Far Horizons expects all participants to be physically active and able to walk and climb independently throughout the full touring days. This includes walking over uneven terrain (uphill and downhill) for 2 miles or more at each site.
You should expect to be on your feet for much of each day, averaging as much as 5 miles of walking per day. As such, each participant should be able to walk unaided at a pace of 3 miles per hour for at least an hour at a time and to stand unsupported for at least 60 minutes
Bearing this in mind, we suggest that, if you have not already done so, you begin walking several miles every day, ideally including stairs and hills.
If you have questions about your ability to keep up with the group or the strenuous nature of this trip, please contact the Far Horizons staff.
You will be required to complete a health form upon registration and will be asked about dietary restrictions and allergies. Your tour staff will do their best to coordinate accommodations for your needs.
If your allergies or restrictions are likely to affect your ability to eat in some restaurants, we recommend that you prepare to supplement with bars and snacks.
We are always happy to speak with you or communicate via email if you have additional questions. Please feel free to email us at [email protected].
