Submitting your reservation and required deposit confirms that you have read, understood, and accepted Remember the Time Cultural Journeys’ Terms and Conditions and Passenger Agreement.

• Final Payment: Your final payment due date will be provided during booking and displayed on your reservation confirmation. All remaining balances must be paid in full by that date. Reservations with an unpaid balance may be subject to cancellation in accordance with RTT’s Terms and Conditions.
• Deposit: A non-refundable deposit of $350.00 USD per traveler is required to reserve your place. Additional payments are subject to the cancellation schedule outlined in RTT’s Terms and Conditions.
• Minimum Participation: This journey requires a minimum of 10 travelers to operate. If RTT cancels the journey because the minimum has not been reached, registered travelers may receive a refund of payments made or transfer those payments to another available RTT journey, as described in the Terms and Conditions.
• Traveler Identification: Born from the Soil is a domestic U.S. journey. Travelers arriving by air are responsible for carrying identification accepted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), such as a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, passport, or another TSA-approved form of identification. Please review the current TSA identification requirements before departure.
• Legal Name: Your reservation must be made using your full legal name exactly as it appears on the identification you will use while traveling.
• Pricing: Prices and availability are subject to change until your reservation and required deposit have been received. Once your reservation is confirmed, the terms and pricing shown on your confirmation will apply.
  
• Payment Plans: If you choose a payment plan, payments must be made according to the schedule provided on your invoice. We recommend adding each payment deadline to your personal calendar. When reserving with a roommate, each traveler remains responsible for keeping their individual reservation and payments current. 
• Name Changes: Name changes are permitted for a fee of $25.00 USD per occurrence. All requests must be submitted in writing and remain subject to any applicable supplier restrictions.
• Late or Missed Payments: If you anticipate difficulty meeting a payment deadline, please contact RTT in writing before the due date. Requests for additional time are reviewed individually and are not guaranteed.
• Hotel Loyalty Programs: Because accommodations are reserved under a group agreement, hotel points, benefits, upgrades, or qualifying-night credits are not guaranteed. Any recognition of loyalty-program status is determined solely by the hotel.
  
  

Traveler Conduct & Our Shared Experience

Remember the Time Cultural Journeys is committed to providing a welcoming, respectful, and thoughtfully coordinated experience for every traveler.

Throughout the journey, travelers are expected to treat one another—as well as RTT representatives, historians, guides, drivers, hotel staff, cultural partners, and members of the local community—with courtesy and respect.

Behavior that is disruptive, threatening, discriminatory, unsafe, or otherwise inappropriate may result in removal from an activity or from the remainder of the journey without refund. RTT reserves the right to take reasonable action when necessary to protect the safety, comfort, dignity, and overall experience of the group.

We travel to connect more deeply with history, culture, community, and one another. Honoring the destination, respecting the people who welcome us, and caring for the shared group experience are essential parts of every RTT journey.

Photography & Media Acknowledgment

Meaningful moments naturally unfold during group travel, and photographs or video may be captured during scheduled activities, cultural experiences, celebrations, and other shared moments. By participating in this journey, travelers acknowledge that photographs or video in which they appear may be used by Remember the Time Cultural Journeys in website content, social media, advertising, and other promotional materials. All content will be selected and shared thoughtfully, respectfully, and in keeping with RTT’s values and brand.

Travelers who prefer not to be photographed or featured publicly should notify RTT in writing before departure. We will make every reasonable effort to honor that preference; however, travelers may appear incidentally in group photographs or background footage taken in shared spaces.

Why Travel with Remember the Time Cultural Journeys?

Remember the Time Cultural Journeys creates intimate cultural experiences for travelers who want to move beyond sightseeing and connect with the people, places, and stories that have shaped our history. 

With no more than 20 travelers, each journey is intentionally designed to offer meaningful access, genuine connection, and room to experience the destination without getting lost in a crowd.

From accommodations and transportation to historians, cultural partners, immersive activities, and signature moments, every detail is thoughtfully coordinated so you can remain present in the experience.

Born from the Soil is more than a stay in New Orleans with a collection of tours. It is an invitation to explore the city through its Black history, living traditions, music, creativity, resilience, and community.

We don’t simply visit history. We walk with it.
