***Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours lasting a maximum of 2-3 hours, organized for general introduction to cities, conducted from the vehicle with guide commentary, and do not include entry to museums or historical sites. Panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, may not take place if local authorities do not permit visiting or entering on the scheduled day and time, due to closed roads caused by any event, or if weather conditions make the tour impossible. In such cases, PCSTUR is not responsible for the inability to conduct these tours. Some tours may be carried out via public transport or on foot, depending on available facilities, at points where road access or vehicle entry is restricted.
***Extra tours are organized by the local PCSTUR we work with, requiring a minimum participation of 20 people. If this number is not met, the excursions may not take place, or extra tour prices, content, and vehicles used may vary based on the number of participants.
