All prices are listed in U.S. dollars. Payments are processed in USD, and your credit card provider will automatically convert the total to your local currency.

If you’d like to estimate the converted cost in advance, you can use this helpful currency conversion tool.

Please note that the converted amount will not appear in your cart; the final converted total will be reflected on your credit card statement.

At Travel & Culture Salon, our hosted trips are planned in close coordination with local guides, venues, and operators who work with limited availability. Once your place on a trip is confirmed, we commit to securing specific dates, times, and group reservations on your behalf. For this reason—and out of respect for our partners and other travelers—bookings are subject to the following terms.

DEPOSITS

A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total trip cost is required at the time of booking to secure your place on the Amsterdam Tulip Trail.

For the April 2026 trip, the remaining balance is due by March 1, 2026.

CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS

All payments are non-refundable, and we do not offer cash refunds.

Travel & Culture Salon requires all travelers to obtain specific travel insurance when traveling with us, which protects your investment in the event of unexpected changes.

Your final payment is due by March 1, 2026.

We will send you an email reminder 1 week before the due date and another on the due date.

You can make your final payment HERE at any time.

Unfortunately, payment methods cannot be modified once a transaction has been processed.

We know schedules are full, so we keep booking straightforward.

To reserve your place, we’ll ask only for your name, email address, and phone number, along with your payment details. That’s all that’s needed to confirm your spot.

Passport and travel insurance information will be collected later through a brief traveler form.

Most of our travelers are adults, but we welcome travelers ages 10-18 as long as they are accompanied by a legal guardian.

I don’t book flights directly for clients, and here’s why:

Airline partnerships with travel advisors vary widely, and while I can sometimes secure excellent fares, I’m not able to book Basic Economy. That fare class comes with significant restrictions and carve-outs that prevent me from advocating on your behalf if anything changes with your trip.

I’m happy to book Premium Economy and above, where flexibility, support, and occasional fare advantages are possible. For Basic Economy, it’s typically easiest—and often cheapest—to book directly.

If you’re using airline points or miles, that can also be a great value, and I’m always happy to advise on route options, timing, or which airports make the most sense for your trip.

Planning travel – if you have a lot of time – can be fun. It’s what we do!

But you’ll still benefit from using a Fora Advisor. Tell me the hotels you’re interested in and I’ll book them for you so you get perks such as free breakfast, a room upgrade, early check-in or late check-out, at no extra cost to you.
‍
Plus I’ll let you know if my network has any intel on the property that may not be obvious online (like the fact that the room you requested looks onto a wall). It’s like having a best friend who works in travel, and can help you plan your dream trip.
