We require a deposit (usually $5,000 or $10,000) to secure your desired tour dates. After your down payment has been made and your dates have been locked in, the balance will be due before you depart for your tour. We generally ask for tours to be paid in full 60 days prior to departure. Exact details will be included in your initial invoice. University-issued checks are the most standard form of payment but we can accept credit cards if you’re willing to pay the 3% fee. In the event that your travel party includes family members or outside friends who will not be covered by the university for their trip costs, we will deal with them directly and have them on a special “Booster Package” with BIP. Please contact Tim or Cory if you have any questions about this.
