Quality is Number #1
Our long history has allowed us to constantly modify our tours so that you, our guest, receives the best experience money can buy! We offer a lot of “little things” that make us stand apart from our competition. Don’t be fooled by those that promise a tiny 3-6 person tour (And we offer MANY of those too!!!) as being better. The experience is what counts and with Silver Lining Tours you’ll walk away with not only a fantastic tour experience but with more knowledge on the mechanics of severe weather (And a copy of our own copyrighted Weather 101 booklet you can use forever!). Give us a try and see why our tours are labeled as “The Atmospheric Adventure of a Lifetime (c)”.
Deposit and Final Payments
When you sign up for a tour, your deposit is due at the time you sign up and submit tour paperwork. A nonrefundable/nontransferable deposit of $700 is required for any tour (And the Desert Thunder tour as well.). We will send you a secure invoice for the deposit payment. Your final balance payment is due no later than February 1st in the year of your tour.
Available Discounts
If we are not able to witness at least one tornado warned storm during your tour, you will receive a $100 credit towards any future tour! (This does not apply to the May Minitour/Primetime Mini tour due to the short duration of the tour.)
Multitour discount: Book two tours in the same year and receive $100 off each tour price! (Does not apply to the May Mini tour/Primetime Mini tour due to the low cost and short nature of the tour)
Rooming discounts: Room together with your spouse or friend and each of you get $100 discount from your tour price!
Lifetime discount of $50 applies to any tour. (does not apply if using the Multitour discount or rooming discount)
CASH PAYMENT discount of $50 applies if you pay your tour fee by check.
Any refunds given will be charged a $200 administrative/processing fee.
NOTE: ANY PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTS OR OTHER DISCOUNTS WILL BE APPLIED TO THE FINAL TOUR BALANCE, NOT THE REQUIRED DEPOSIT.
