Subject: Inquiry on Adjusting Tour Plans for Our Group

Dear City Tours Team,

I recently perused your brochure on the various walking tours and found the offerings quite , especially the blend of historical and cultural elements. However, as I'm organizing a trip for a diverse group of 12, including some with mobility concerns, I need to whether the Riverside Cultural Path truly accommodates wheelchairs as claimed, given past experiences where such assurances proved unreliable. Moreover, the Nighttime Ghost Stories Stroll seems intriguing, but its thematic intensity might younger participants, prompting me to compare it against the milder Historical Downtown Tour for suitability.

Could you clarify the cancelation policies across tours? The brochure mentions a 48-hour notice for refunds on the ghost tour, yet it's ambiguous for others, which potential financial risks if our plans shift due to unforeseen weather. Additionally, we're interested in membership discounts—does the 10% off apply cumulatively to group bookings, or is it per individual? This detail would help in the overall value against competing tour operators in the area.

Looking forward to your prompt response to finalize our itinerary.

Best regards,

Alex Rivera
