Below are the terms of agreement between you and us for the La Ruta De La Guitarra Spring 2024 trip to Spain.

Risk/Responsibility/Liability/Indemnification

Our responsibility is to provide the services listed below in the Services section.

Your responsibility is to

  • Provide us with accurate and up to date contact information and communicate with us in a timely manner.
  • Have a travel insurance policy.
  • Have proper ID and documentation at all times while traveling.

  • Notify us of any conditions, physical or otherwise, that will have an impact on any of the other travelers.
  • Respect fellow traveler’s time, space and personal preferences and opinions.


We will be moving together as a group often. We need everyone to be aware of and understanding of our need to be on time and cooperate with the direction of the guides. We must adhere to our schedules and cannot be held responsible for missed opportunities or additional travel arrangements that must be made due to the traveling party’s oversight of, or failure to comply with, the trip itinerary.

The traveling party releases Flavio Rodrigues and Steve Pederson from responsibility for any and all liabilities that may result from this trip, such as bodily injury, theft, loss of property, etc.

Services

The services we provide are 1) guiding you to destinations in Madrid, Seville, Granada and Valencia, Spain, 2) setting up housing accommodations for 14 consecutive nights beginning the evening of May 14th until the morning of May 28th, 3) Travel arrangements between each of the cities aforementioned and 4) connecting you with two high-level professional instructors for two separate guitar lessons or masterclasses (one with each instructor).

Fees and Payment

Full payment must be received by March 15th. First half of payment is due by February 15th.

US Dollars are collected by Steve Pederson and Brazilian Reals are collected by Flavio Rodrigues. We will make arrangements with you via What’sApp or email on the specifics of how to send payment.

Termination/Cancellation/Refund

You have 7 days from the date of payment to request a refund. A full refund, minus any non-recoverable finance charges, will be issued. After March 14, 2024 there are no refunds.

Due to the nature of the arrangements we make for the trip for everyone, we will not be able to issue a refund after March 14, 2024, even in the case of an emergency, which is why we require you to have travel insurance.
