A planned schedule/itinerary will be sent to you with your receipt upon booking or latest 30 days prior to departure. The itinerary may be subject to change due to circumstances beyond our control such as weather, late arrival of aircraft etc. or the order in which we view sites.
Door-to-door transportation, all entrance fees and fares for items on the itinerary, background and historical information on the day’s attractions and a knowledgeable and friendly driver/guide.
20% Down Payment is due at the time of booking. Balance (Payment in Full) is due three weeks prior to the tour or by the date listed on the confirmation/invoice. Payment in Full may also be made at time of booking. Payments can be made by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX), PayPal or bank transfer. Balance payments may be automatically settled, where possible, by using the same payment method as the deposit, unless the traveler specifically indicates otherwise in writing. Special Offers may have different payment terms.
Our prices are set in Euros but we can bill US residents in US dollars if desired. The traveler is guaranteed the US dollar tour price set at the time of down payment unless the US$/Euro exchange rate varies over 5% before the balance payment is made. Neither party should be required to take a hit if the 5% threshold is reached in the current climate of financial instability, so the remaining balance will be adjusted per se. This may mean a lower US$ price, or may lead to a surcharge.
The 20% deposit is non-refundable except under the following conditions: (1) You find a person to replace you on the tour, or (2) The deposit is transferred to a future tour, or (3) certain conditions of Force Majeur (like the pandemic); see below). The following charges apply if a cancellation is made three weeks or less prior to departure (percentage of total tour price):
21+ days prior to departure: 20%
11 – 20 days prior to departure: 50%
10 days or less prior to departure or no-show: 100% / No Refund.
