For all international departures with customs clearance, it is necessary to be present at the relevant port on the day of departure three hours before the tour departure time. Guests arriving at the port or airport via domestic flights from other cities should adjust their flight times accordingly. Late arrival and/or inability to participate in the tour due to this reason is the responsibility of the passenger, and our Agency has no liability for compensation to the passenger. If the relevant airline has an online check-in website, it is recommended that passengers check in in person 24 hours before their tour departure.
Our agency acts as an intermediary between the airline and our passengers and is subject to the Hague Protocol of September 28, 1955. Flight times are subject to change prior to departure. All flight times must be confirmed by the passenger 48 hours prior to the tour departure. Passengers purchase the tour with the understanding and acceptance that flight details are subject to change.
Breakfasts at the hotel, which are included in the tour program, are served in accordance with the country's breakfast culture and are generally offered as a continental breakfast, consisting of a limited menu of butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee. Groups may be served in a separate lounge.
Triple rooms are available based on hotel availability. The bed allocated for the third person in these rooms is smaller than the standard bed. Triple rooms consist of one queen bed + one extra bed. Since extra beds consist of fold-out and couch beds, tour participants are deemed to have accepted the potential for room crowding and the type of bed required when booking for a third person and/or child. Child discounts apply to one child (of the same age group) sharing with two adults.
Due to the limited number of TWIN (two-bed) rooms available at hotels, please verify your TWIN room request before booking.

Panoramic city tours are 2-3 hour tours designed to introduce cities and can be arranged on different days, provided their content remains the same. They do not include entrance to museums or historical sites. Additional tours are conducted with a number of people determined by the tour leader, and the dates may be changed depending on the itinerary. Tours may not operate due to weather conditions. Excursions or tours that are not permitted by local authorities for any reason will not be carried out. Our agency cannot be held responsible for the failure to carry out these excursions or tours.
