1. About Travel with Likya

Travel with Likya offers small-group, place-based travel experiences centered on cultural immersion, guided exploration, and independent discovery.

Participants are responsible for ensuring they hold valid travel documents, including passports and visas where required, and for assessing their own readiness for travel.

3. Booking & Payments

A 20% deposit is required to reserve a place in a program. The remaining balance is due on the balance due date shown for your departure. Spaces are limited and confirmed on a first-come basis. Failure to complete payment by the stated deadline may result in loss of the reserved spot.

Programs are intentionally small. The group size and the minimum number of participants for each departure are shown on its departure page.

7. Cancellations, Refunds & Program Changes

Each departure has its own cancellation and refund policy. It is linked from the departure page and shown again when you reserve, before you pay, and the policy for the departure you book is the one that applies to you.
