How does the GreatSights Best Price Guarantee work?

Best Price Guarantee Booking direct means you should always pay the lowest price on GreatSights tours. If you find any GreatSights tours sold under the same terms and conditions (brand, date, number of people, availability, inclusions) and at a lower price online, we’ll credit you the difference between the price paid and the lower price found. All special offers and promotional campaigns are marked as such.
