4. Departure Points and TimesBIG BUS & DUCK Group endeavours to provide departure points and times for the Tours as accurate as possible. However, BIG BUS & DUCK Group reserves the right to vary such departure points and times without prior notice to or consent from you, as circumstances require.
5. Check-in for a TourIf you are joining a Timed Tour, you are strongly encouraged to arrive and ‘check-in’ at the departure points/check-in location at least 30 minutes (Check-in Time) prior to the Tour Time, as per your booking confirmation email/voucher. This is to allow time for temperature taking, SafeEntry/TraceTogether and collection of your boarding pass. Our Tours run on a schedule and depart on time. If you are late and unable to complete the check-in by the Tour Time, you may not be allowed to join the Tour at BIG BUS & DUCK’s discretion, and you will not be allowed refund and re-schedule.

Late Arrivals and No-shows6.1 We will not be able to reschedule your Tour or issue refunds for no-shows or late arrivals, whether due to any circumstances or last minute unforeseen circumstances such as unexpected illness, road construction, traffic congestion, public transport disruptions, getting lost/cannot find the check-in location, or any number of events that could happen. For Timed Tours, it is not possible to join and board the Craft after it has departed.
6.2 We cannot wait for late arrivals as this is unfair to our guests that are on time for their Tour. If you arrive late you may miss your Tour even if the Craft has not departed yet. This is because even though you are there, your checking in and getting ready will delay the rest of the guests in your Tour. Late arrivals who miss their Tours will be considered as no-show and will not get a refund for any reason. Late arrivals will also not be rescheduled to another Tour without booking and paying fully for another Tour.
6.3 We pride ourselves on our professionalism and excellent customer service. All we ask is that you show up on time for your Tour. In the case of a delay, we recommend contacting us as soon as you know you will be late. The earlier we know, the more we can do for you.
