Hi, this is your Parang Tour guide.

We know that even the best-laid travel plans can change. Life happens. A flight gets canceled, a work project comes up, or you just need to shift your dates. It’s a normal part of travel, and we believe our policies should be as clear and straightforward as possible.

That’s why we’re writing this post: to give you a simple, honest breakdown of our refund policy. No confusing jargon, just the facts, so you can book your dream American West tour with total peace of mind.

1. Why Our Policy is Built for Small Groups

First, it helps to understand who we are. Parang Tour isn’t a massive corporation running 50-person bus tours. As our founder Steve explains on our About Us page, we started this company to offer a better experience: intimate, small-group tours (a maximum of 12 people) with a dedicated Korean-speaking guide. This means every single traveler is important to the group dynamic.

When we have a cancellation, it doesn't just mean an empty seat. It affects hotel bookings, vehicle arrangements, and the overall tour logistics we’ve carefully planned. Our refund policy is designed to be fair to you while also allowing us to maintain the high-quality, small-group experience we promise.

2. The Core of Our Policy: 100% Refund 30 Days Out

Here is the most important part of our policy, stated as clearly as possible:

If you cancel your tour at least 30 days before the scheduled departure date, you will receive a 100% full refund.

It’s that simple. We’ve set this 30-day mark because it gives us a fair amount of time to manage our commitments. It allows us to offer the spot to another traveler who might be on a waiting list and to adjust our guide and vehicle schedules without incurring major costs. This policy is our commitment to giving you flexibility.

OUR PROMISE: Cancel at least 30 days in advance for a 100% full refund.

3. Cancellations Inside the 30-Day Window

So, what happens if you need to cancel with less than 30 days' notice? This is where things get more complex.

By this point, we have already finalized and often pre-paid for non-refundable costs associated with your spot. This includes things like hotel rooms and vehicle reservations. Because of this, we cannot guarantee a refund for cancellations made within this 30-day window.

However, we are not a faceless company. We are guides and travel lovers, just like you. The very first thing you should do is contact us directly on KakaoTalk. We handle these situations on a case-by-case basis. We will always listen, review the circumstances, and do our absolute best to find a fair and reasonable solution for everyone. While we can't promise a specific outcome, we can promise to be transparent and helpful.

4. How to Book for Maximum Peace of Mind

To get the most security and flexibility, the best strategy is to plan ahead. By booking your tour more than 30 days in advance, you automatically give yourself a safety net where you can cancel for any reason and get a full refund.

Many of our most popular tours, like the bestselling 2-Night 3-Day Grand Canyon Tour, fill up weeks or even months in advance. Booking early not only secures your spot but also locks in your refund eligibility.

Here’s a simple way to think about it:

5. Our Commitment to You

Our refund policy isn't about being strict; it's about being sustainable so we can continue offering the kind of tours we believe in. Tours that are personal, in-depth, and create lasting memories. We want to take you to the heart of the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, and Zion, and do it in a way that feels comfortable, not rushed.

We are always here to help you navigate the process. Whether you have a question about our policy, need help choosing from our list of tours, or just want to chat about your trip, we're here for you.
