I understand Tours start promptly, at the scheduled departure time. I acknowledge that Aucky Walky Tours ’s policy in relation to late arrivals is as follows:

I (being the person who is booking a walking tour) accept that leisure activities have inherent risks. I understand that these risks can include (but are not limited to): crossing roads, oncoming traffic, walking on uneven or slippery surfaces, sun exposure or climbing hills and steps.

I agree to abide and to comply with all instructions given to me by any representatives of Aucky Walky Tours Limited.

Also that a tour requires a minimum of two Participants (Hello Auckland) or four Participants (Taste Auckland tour) to proceed. If the minimum number is not reached then the Company reserves the right to change or cancel any bookings.
