Order Your Tour as Early as Possible ...
To ensure availability of accommodations, we recommend purchasing your Diverse Directions tour as far in advance as possible. For
regular season tours, four to six weeks advance purchase is recommended. We can often accommodate customers in as few as 5 to 10 days, however.
For foliage season and holiday-week tours, a minimum 60-day advance purchase is
strongly encouraged.
Acceptance and confirmation of tour purchases is contingent upon the availability of the accommodations you have chosen when ordering your tour.
Notification of the status of your order will be emailed to you no later than the end of the first business day following the date of your order.
Deposits & Payments...
For tours ordered more than 60 days in advance, a deposit equal to 25% of the total amount due is payable upon
our confirmation of the order. Deposits are non-refundable. Balances are due 60 days prior to the tour's start date.
For tours ordered less than
60 days in advance, the total amount due is payable upon our confirmation of the order. We accept
Visa and MasterCard.
Our Tour Schedule ...
Our Vermont tour season begins
May 1 and ends October 31. Tours may begin any day of the week.
Fall Foliage and
Holiday Week Tours ...
While the price of your Diverse Directions tour package is the same regardless of your tour dates, the price of overnight accommodations may be higher during holiday
weekends and the fall foliage season. In addition, most inns, B&Bs, and campgrounds impose a 2-night minimum stay requirement for holiday weekends and foliage season.
Placing your Order ...
To order your tour, you'll need to complete our online Tour Order Form.
The online Tour Order Form is secure, fast and easy to complete. Before completing the online Order Form, please identify your first, second and third choice accommodation options for each overnight
destination (See Accommodations Page for options).
Acceptance and confirmation of purchase orders is contingent upon the availability of the accommodations you
have chosen when ordering your tour. Notification of the status of your order will be emailed to you no later than the end of the first business day following the date of your order.
Following our confirmation of your order, your Tour Documentation Package will be assembled and mailed to you and either your deposit or payment
in-full will be charged to your credit card.
Our Cancellation Policy ...
For cancellations received more than 60 days before
the tour's scheduled start date, the participant will receive a refund of any amount paid in excess of the deposit paid.

Before Booking your Flight, Train, and/or Bus ...
Though Diverse Directions customers enjoy a large degree of flexibility in
scheduling their tours we STRONGLY recommend that travel arrangements NOT be finalized until you have received your Order Confirmation from us.
