Cancellation/Refund Policy: Tickets cancelled more than 7 days prior to the day of the tour will receive a full refund. Any cancellations made 7 days or less before the day of your tour will only be refunded if your ticket(s) can be resold before the day of the tour. SPECIAL COVID-19 REFUNDS: If you need to cancel due to experiencing COVID-19 diagnosis, symptoms or exposure, you will receive a full refund regardless of date of cancellation.
Requests to change your tour date or time: If, after you purchase your tickets, you would like to change the date or time of your tour to another one that is offered, you must contact the NCHS Office at info@newcastlehistory.org or by calling 302-322-2794. Requests for date/time changes will only be made on a space available basis. Due to the limited number of people who can participate in each time slot, and how quickly our tours sell out, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to exchange your purchased tickets for a tour on another date/time. We will do our best to accommodate you if your plans change. However, if we cannot move you to another date/time that works for you, please note the Cancellation/Refund Policy that is listed above.
Group Tours: If you are part of a smaller group, we strongly suggest having one person purchasing all of the tickets at one time to ensure that you can all be on the tour together. If this is not possible, please inform the NCHS office at info@newcastlehistory.org or by calling 302-322-2794 of the names of the people in your group so that we can try to make sure you are not split up.
For corporate/community groups: Please contact the NCHS office to find out what dates and times are available!
