Tour routes, stops, and timing may vary depending on traffic, weather, attraction availability, guest needs, public events, closures, scheduling, and other conditions beyond our control.


2. Website Use

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes. You may not use this website to:

  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information
  • Interfere with the website’s operation or security
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, accounts, payment systems, or booking systems
  • Copy, reproduce, or misuse website content, images, text, branding, or materials without permission
  • Use the website in a way that could damage 5 Star Tours of Memphis or other users

We reserve the right to refuse service, cancel bookings, restrict website access, or take appropriate action if we believe a user has violated these terms.


3. Tour Information and Availability

We make every effort to provide accurate tour descriptions, pricing, availability, durations, and details on our website. However, tour information may change without notice.

Tour times, routes, stops, attraction access, and schedules are subject to change due to:

  • Weather conditions
  • Road closures
  • Traffic delays
  • Special events
  • Attraction closures
  • Museum or venue schedule changes
  • Safety concerns
  • Vehicle availability
  • Circumstances beyond our control

Some tours may include exterior sightseeing only, while others may include admission to certain attractions when specifically stated in the tour description. If admission tickets are included, that will be clearly listed on the tour page.


4. Booking and Payment

Tour bookings may be made through our website or by contacting us directly.

When booking online, you may be asked to provide information such as your name, email address, phone number, preferred tour date, number of guests, billing information, and payment details.

Payments are processed through third-party payment providers, such as Stripe, and may be handled through our website’s ecommerce and booking system. 5 Star Tours of Memphis does not store full credit card numbers on our website.

By submitting a booking, you agree that:

  • The information you provide is accurate and complete
  • You are authorized to use the payment method submitted
  • You agree to pay all charges associated with your booking
  • Your booking is not guaranteed until payment or required deposit has been successfully processed and your reservation has been confirmed

5. Pricing

Tour prices are listed on our website and may be shown as a flat vehicle rate, per-person rate, or other pricing structure depending on the tour package.

Prices may change at any time, but confirmed bookings will generally be honored at the price shown at the time of booking unless there was an obvious website, system, or typographical error.

Additional costs may apply for optional add-ons, attraction admission, extended time, additional guests, special pickup locations, parking, or other custom requests unless those items are specifically included in the tour description.


6. Cancellations, Refunds, and Rescheduling

Because private tours require advance scheduling, vehicle preparation, and guide availability, cancellations and rescheduling requests must be made as early as possible.

Customer Cancellations

Unless otherwise stated on a specific tour page or booking confirmation:

  • Cancellations made at least 48 hours before the scheduled tour time may be eligible for a refund or rescheduling.
  • Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the scheduled tour time may be non-refundable.
  • No-shows may be charged the full tour price and may not be eligible for a refund.
  • Late arrivals may shorten the tour time and do not guarantee a refund or extension.

Rescheduling

We will make reasonable efforts to reschedule your tour if you contact us in advance. Rescheduling is subject to guide availability, vehicle availability, and open tour dates.

Company Cancellations

5 Star Tours of Memphis may cancel or reschedule a tour due to severe weather, unsafe conditions, vehicle issues, guide illness, emergency circumstances, attraction closures, or other events outside our control.

If we cancel a tour, we will make reasonable efforts to offer a rescheduled date or refund.


7. Weather, Traffic, and Delays

Tours may operate in various weather conditions unless we determine that conditions are unsafe or unsuitable.

Memphis traffic, special events, parades, road construction, weather, and public closures may affect tour routes and timing. We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our control, but we will do our best to provide a quality tour experience.


8. Guest Responsibilities

Guests are expected to conduct themselves respectfully and safely during the tour.

Guests agree to:

  • Arrive on time for the scheduled tour

  • Respect the vehicle, guide, other guests, public spaces, and attraction rules
  • Avoid disruptive, threatening, intoxicated, abusive, or unsafe behavior
  • Supervise children and minors in their party
  • Comply with all applicable laws and venue rules

We reserve the right to end a tour early or refuse service without refund if a guest’s behavior creates a safety concern, disrupts the experience, damages property, violates the law, or interferes with the tour.


9. Minors and Children

Children and minors must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult.

Guests are responsible for ensuring that any required child safety seats, booster seats, or special accommodations are provided unless other arrangements have been confirmed in advance.


10. Accessibility and Special Needs

We want every guest to have an enjoyable experience. Guests with mobility concerns, accessibility needs, medical considerations, or special requests should contact us before booking so we can discuss whether the selected tour and vehicle can reasonably accommodate those needs.

Some locations, sidewalks, museums, entertainment districts, and historic areas may have uneven surfaces, stairs, crowds, limited accessibility, or other physical conditions outside our control.


11. Attraction Admissions and Third-Party Locations

Some tours may include visits to or views of third-party locations, museums, attractions, restaurants, entertainment venues, or public landmarks. These third-party locations are not owned or controlled by 5 Star Tours of Memphis.

We are not responsible for third-party closures, pricing changes, admission policies, ticket availability, delays, service issues, or guest experiences at third-party venues.

If a tour includes admission tickets, the included ticket type will be described in the tour listing. Unless specifically stated, meals, drinks, souvenirs, admission tickets, gratuities, parking, and personal expenses are not included.


12. Photos, Videos, and Marketing

Guests may take personal photos and videos during the tour unless restricted by a specific attraction, venue, or public rule.
