OPTIONAL TOURS & EVENTS
Optional tours and events are organized by the local agency providing our services with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people and participation is not mandatory. If the required number is not met, the tours may not take place, or optional tour/event prices, content, and vehicles used may vary depending on the number of participants. Additionally, the dates and times of optional tours/events may be changed by the guide based on whether museums, historical sites, or venues are open or closed, and weather conditions.
ACCOMMODATION
During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be located further than the indicated kilometers.
Triple rooms are provided subject to hotel availability. In such rooms, the bed provided for the 3rd person may be smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of one large bed and one extra bed. Since extra beds are folding or coach beds, participants who are the 3rd person and/or children booking are considered to have accepted potential crowding in the room and the type of bed.
Child discounts apply only for one child within the age group specified in the pricing section, staying with two adults.
Breakfasts included in the tour package, as part of the services, are served according to the breakfast culture of the country visited, generally as a continental breakfast consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee, and may be served in a separate hall dedicated to the group.
