If panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, cannot take place because local authorities do not permit visiting or entering the relevant locations on the day and at the time scheduled for the tour, or due to roads being closed for any event, and likewise when weather conditions make it impossible to conduct the tour, the agency is not responsible for the inability to conduct these tours.
