Important Information for Tour Participants

To best protect your interests, please read our “Booking Information and Terms of Liability” carefully. This document sets out important information for outbound tour participants and, together with our “Overseas Travel Safety Information and Other Precautions,” forms part of the travel contract. We reserve all rights to interpret the content of this website.

(I) Registration Process and Important Notes

For all bookings made through this website, please carefully read all terms published on our company website, in the order confirmation, and in the tour joining notice in advance. By submitting your order, you confirm that you have read and fully agree to all terms published by our company. If any tour member violates the rules stated in these terms, they shall bear all resulting consequences.

1. When booking, first complete the booking form on the website. Please fill in the information carefully and verify that all details—including name, gender, ID/passport number, contact details, room type, and pickup/drop-off point—are correct. We accept no responsibility for losses resulting from incorrect information entered by the applicant. After successful submission, we will send you an order confirmation. As bus seats are limited, we will prioritize tour placement based on receipt of payment. We will assign a vehicle according to the group size, ensuring one seat per person. After checking that all details are correct, please arrange payment within the order’s validity period. If the tour fee is not paid in full by the deadline, you will be considered to have cancelled automatically, and we reserve the right to cancel your order without further notice.

2. Participants must pay 100% of the tour fee within the order-hold period once the group departure is confirmed. As coach seats and hotel rooms are limited, and hotel bookings are often subject to deadlines, participants booking within five working days before departure must promptly complete payment. Otherwise, our company reserves the right, depending on the circumstances, to hold or cancel the order without first obtaining the applicant’s consent. The payer is responsible for any fees incurred by any payment method. After payment, please email or fax proof of payment (the transaction slip for an in-person bank transfer, or a screenshot of the successful online transfer) to our company. Be sure to include the relevant order number in the proof; otherwise, our Finance Department cannot match the payment to the order. If, due to late payment, the tour fee has still not arrived two days before the end of the tour, we may require the participant to provide the tour fee in cash as a deposit to the tour guide. If subsequent verification confirms a duplicate payment, we will promptly refund the overpaid amount.

3. We will confirm your place on the tour after receiving your payment. Three days before departure, you will receive a tour confirmation email at the address provided when booking. It will include information such as the guide, itinerary, and pickup and drop-off points. Due to network delays or spam filters, you may not receive this email three days before departure. If this happens, please contact the relevant staff member for assistance.

4. We normally arrange room sharing with someone of the same gender. Hotel room types are arranged according to the requirements provided at booking. If an individual or an odd-numbered group (such as 3, 5, or 7 people) books, we will arrange room sharing as appropriate. If you do not accept the room-sharing arrangement, you may pay an additional single-room supplement. In exceptional circumstances, such as during peak travel seasons when a hotel has insufficient rooms or for other reasons beyond our control, room arrangements may change, and group members must cooperate with our arrangements. If the room assigned at check-in does not meet your requirements because you entered the wrong gender or room preference when booking, we will coordinate and make arrangements based on the rooms available at the hotel that day. Any additional costs incurred will be borne by the group member.

Please note: Although the company arranges room sharing for guests who do not know one another, the company is not responsible for the room-sharing guests’ character or conduct. In the event of differences in habits or disputes, the company and tour guide have no responsibility to mediate or intervene.

5. If a group member needs to leave the tour early due to special circumstances, they must notify us when booking/before joining the tour and sign an “Early Departure Declaration.” For each night of accommodation missed, €30 will be deducted (or €50 per night if a single room was booked for the entire tour). No tour fee reduction will be made if no hotel nights are missed. If a group member requests to leave the tour early after the tour has begun, they must notify the tour guide and sign an “Early Departure Declaration”; fees paid will not be refunded. Group members must provide truthful information about their health, identity, and other matters when booking and during the tour, accurately complete the relevant forms, and complete all legal formalities. Any expenses or losses arising from personal reasons, such as feeling unwell during the trip, shall be borne by the group member. Travelers with a history of serious medical conditions (for example, a serious or terminal illness or a communicable disease) must disclose this truthfully when booking. In view of a traveler’s health or other circumstances, we reserve the right to refuse the booking.

6. Travelers aged 70 or over must be accompanied by a family member and complete the “Tour Participation Declaration” when booking. If they insist on booking without a family member, we reserve the right to refuse the booking depending on the circumstances. Travelers are responsible for all consequences arising from their own actions during the trip.

7. Pregnant travelers must disclose their pregnancy truthfully when booking. As a rule, travelers more than 24 weeks pregnant are not advised to join the tour. Those who insist on joining must be accompanied by a family member and complete a “Liability Waiver”; however, we reserve the right to refuse the booking depending on the circumstances. Travelers less than 24 weeks pregnant who insist on joining must be accompanied by a family member and complete a “Tour Participation Declaration”; however, we reserve the right to refuse the booking depending on the circumstances. Travelers are responsible for all consequences arising from their own actions during the trip.

8. Minors joining the tour must be accompanied by at least one adult who must fulfill their guardianship responsibilities and ensure the minor’s safety. The group member is responsible for all consequences arising from the minor’s own actions during the trip or from inadequate supervision by the accompanying adult.

9. Tour members must verify that all information provided for joining the tour is accurate. Personal identity document details and contact phone numbers are especially important. Tour members are solely responsible for any consequences resulting from incorrect information they provide (such as being unable to cross a border because a personal identity document has expired or the visa type does not meet the destination country’s entry requirements, or the tour guide and other relevant staff being unable to contact a tour member because the mobile phone number provided is incorrect). Any resulting personal return costs, transportation costs, travel expenses, or other losses must be borne by the tour member.

10. Applicants are advised not to book any flights or other tickets related to the tour itinerary before their tour participation has been confirmed. If applicants book flights or other tickets related to the itinerary at their own discretion but are ultimately unable to join the tour, they shall bear all resulting losses themselves.

11. The travel agency may terminate the contract if a tour member falls into any of the following circumstances (unless otherwise provided by relevant laws or administrative regulations): (1) They have an infectious disease or other illness that may endanger the health and safety of other tour members; (2) They carry items that endanger public safety and refuse to hand them over to the relevant authorities; (3) They engage in illegal activities or activities that violate public morals; (4) They engage in activities that seriously affect the rights and interests of other parties and refuse to heed warnings or cannot be stopped; (5) Other circumstances provided by law that affect the performance of the contract. If the travel agency terminates the contract due to any of the above circumstances, it shall notify the tour member in writing or by other means and may deduct necessary expenses as appropriate before refunding the balance to the tour member.

(III) Tour Member Obligations

1. Tour members must not engage in illegal activities during the tour.

2. When exercising their rights, participants must not harm the interests of the state, society or the collective, or the lawful rights and interests of others.

3. Observe public order and respect social norms. Group members should respect the dignity of tourism service staff and show mutual respect and cooperation toward other group members. Respect local customs and traditions. Do not deface or write on landmarks or buildings, spit, litter, or engage in other uncivilized behavior.

4. Make every effort to learn what you need to know for your trip and improve your awareness of personal safety. Group members may choose and purchase personal accident travel insurance and other insurance. During the trip, take good care of your luggage and belongings, and keep valuables with you or take other protective measures.

5. When traveling, pay attention to the local weather and take care to ensure children’s safety.

6. If a group member voluntarily takes part in hazardous activities included in the regular tour itinerary, such as rock climbing, mountaineering, rafting, scuba diving, or bungee jumping, they are personally responsible for any resulting disputes, property loss, or personal injury, and our company bears no liability.

(IV) Liability

1. We reserve the right to change accommodation, routes, sightseeing attractions, and departure dates as circumstances require.

2. If circumstances beyond our control arise, such as insufficient participants or problems with a ship or aircraft, our company reserves the right to change or cancel the itinerary. If the itinerary is canceled, we will refund all fees paid by participants or recommend a similar alternative product. Our company shall not be liable for canceling any itinerary.

3. In the event of social unrest, terrorist activities, a major infectious disease outbreak, natural disasters, riots, murder, rebellion, war, or other events beyond our company's control that may seriously endanger the personal safety of group members, as well as unforeseen circumstances such as weather, traffic, or strikes, our company reserves the right to cancel or replace any part of the tour before or after departure, and to shorten or extend the trip, provided that group members are notified in advance. Our company shall not be liable for any additional expenses or losses arising from such changes, and group members may not object or withdraw on these grounds.

4. As public safety conditions vary from country to country, group members should take care of their personal and traffic safety and keep their belongings and luggage secure. If anything is lost, stolen, or robbed during the trip, notify the tour leader and report it to the police promptly. Our company accepts no legal liability.

5. Group members must carry a valid passport and visa page, residence permit, and other identification documents at all times. If a group member has to leave the tour early because of problems with their documents or passport, they are responsible for this themselves, and the remaining tour fee will not be refunded. If this affects the normal itinerary of other group members, the group member must pay the corresponding compensation.

6. If a group member is involved in an accident during the itinerary (for example, an accident while taking part in an entertainment or game activity, or illness, death, a fall, or injury resulting from personal activities, or a breach of the rules and instructions set out in our terms), the group member shall be responsible for any resulting personal injury or property loss and all related liability and expenses. We accept no responsibility for such injury, death, or property loss. The group member must compensate us for any resulting losses.

7. If a group member deliberately fails to follow the rules or disrupts the normal activities or interests of the group, our tour leader has the right to cancel their participation. Fees paid will not be refunded, and we accept no responsibility for the group member’s actions after they leave the tour.

8. Times shown in the itinerary are approximate. Actual arrival times may be delayed due to circumstances beyond our control, such as weather, traffic jams, traffic accidents, holiday events, unrest, or strikes. We appreciate your understanding. If group members have onward travel plans and need to take other transport to another city, we strongly recommend leaving at least 3 hours of spare time to avoid inconvenience caused by itinerary delays. We accept no responsibility for losses arising from onward travel arrangements made by group members without allowing sufficient spare time.

(V) Overseas Travel Safety Guidelines and Other Important Notes

I. Helpful Information

1. Some attractions in Europe offer student discounts. Students are advised to bring their student ID cards.

2. European countries use different plug standards (for example, plugs in Italy and Switzerland differ from those used in Germany). Please bring adapters for different sockets if needed.

3. For safety reasons, European transport regulations require every child, regardless of age, to occupy a seat. As most coaches do not provide child safety seats, parents traveling with children under 3 may bring their own. However, each child safety seat occupies one coach seat, and we cannot guarantee that all personally provided safety seats will be suitable for the tour coach. Please take note.

II. Safety Information

Clothing

1. European weather is changeable, so be sure to carry rain gear and a warm jacket.

2. Please take good care of your belongings and luggage. Our company accepts no responsibility for loss or theft.

3. Clearly label your luggage with your name and contact details for identification and return if it is found. If your luggage is lost, notify the relevant organizations (such as the hotel or airline) and the police as soon as possible. If it cannot be recovered, keep the police report to make a claim with the relevant organization or your insurance company (if you have purchased insurance).

Meals

1. Hotel breakfast: In Europe, breakfast is generally simple. Hotel breakfasts usually include only bread, coffee, tea, juice, etc. The hotels we arrange all include a buffet breakfast;

2. Bring bottled water and snacks in case of need, especially for seniors and children.

3. Do not drink water that is not clean or eat food that is unhygienic, has an unusual smell, or is spoiled;

4. Do not accept or consume cigarettes, food, or drinks offered by strangers.

5. To help prevent illness caused by changes in climate or water, bring commonly used or regular medications. Travelers with chronic illnesses should bring their medical records in case they are needed. Never take medication provided by others without authorization.

6. Our agency does not provide or arrange alcoholic drinks. Group members who wish to drink during the trip must strictly limit their alcohol consumption. The person responsible shall bear all liability for drunken misconduct, disruption of public order, infringement of others’ rights, or property loss caused to a third party.

Accommodation

1. Hotel facilities:

① European cities are relatively small, and central city hotels are extremely limited in number and size. Their facilities may be rather dated and may not be up to the standard of comparable hotels in China.

② European hotels do not provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers. Please bring your own daily necessities.

③ Check that all items provided in your hotel room are present and undamaged. If anything is missing or damaged, report it immediately to hotel staff or your tour guide.

④ For various reasons, including environmental considerations, the age of the buildings, and Europe’s cooler climate, many hotels do not have air conditioning.

⑤ Hotels in Italy are often in old buildings and generally provide blankets. Blankets are usually kept in the room closet. If there are none, please contact the front desk to request one.

⑥ Guests who need one should bring their own small travel hair dryer.

⑦ German-style double beds often consist of one large bed with two sets of bedding. This bed arrangement is also common in most parts of Europe, whether travelers request one large bed or two single beds.

2. Hotel meals:

① European hotel rooms do not provide hot drinking water.

② Please do not waste food or take it away.

③ Breakfast hours vary from one European hotel to another. Please arrive at the restaurant early, at the time specified by the hotel, to avoid there not being enough food available if you arrive late for personal reasons.

④ Hotel meals differ somewhat from those in China. Breakfast is fairly simple (German breakfasts are more substantial, while Italian breakfasts are the simplest, consisting only of bread and coffee). Lunch and dinner are also not particularly elaborate, and their quantity and quality may differ considerably from what you are used to at home.

3. Hotel safety tips:

① Please keep valuables safe and do not leave them in your hotel room. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash or expensive watches and jewelry. Keep your travel documents and belongings secure, and carry a photocopy of your travel documents and credit cards in case they are lost and need to be replaced. Our company accepts no responsibility for loss or theft. ② Please do not smoke in your hotel room. Any hotel fines resulting from this will be paid by the person responsible.

③ After checking into the hotel, read the hotel’s safety information. Check whether the room windows can be opened and where the firefighting equipment is located. Familiarize yourself with the hotel’s emergency exits, stairways, and evacuation routes.

④ Do not casually tell strangers the name of your hotel or room, and do not let strangers or people claiming to be hotel maintenance staff enter your room. Lock the door whenever you leave or enter, and before going to sleep check that the door and windows are closed and the security lock is engaged. Keep valuables close to you rather than near the window or on the floor.

⑤ If you need to go out after checking into the hotel, inform your tour guide and get a hotel business card from the front desk. It shows the hotel address and phone number, which you can use to ask for help if you get lost.

Travel

1. Boarding and disembarking:

① All tour participants must assemble on time for a prompt departure. Please arrive at the pickup point 15 minutes in advance. Our tour buses will not wait. Anyone who does not assemble at the agreed time and place, and is unable to join the tour along the way, will be considered to have withdrawn voluntarily, and fees will not be refunded.

② The pickup and drop-off times shown on the website are estimates. The specific pickup and drop-off locations are subject to confirmation by our company. (If traffic or other special circumstances prevent our bus from reaching the pickup point on time, or if the time changes at short notice, our company will notify you promptly. Please wait patiently.)

③ Vehicles include large coaches, minibuses, and 9-seat minibuses. Large coaches generally have dedicated luggage compartments, while minibuses and 9-seat minibuses have relatively limited luggage space. As bus luggage compartment space is limited, we recommend bringing as little luggage as possible. Our company will arrange a vehicle based on the final group size, ensuring one seat per person.

④ To avoid congestion in front of attractions, coach parking in most European cities is located some distance away, and drivers are not allowed to park wherever they wish. Violations can result in heavy fines. The drop-off and pick-up points may therefore be some distance from attractions. Thank you for your understanding.

2. Safety tips for traveling by coach:

① Smoking is prohibited inside the vehicle.

② Do not bring prohibited items.

③ Do not handle any items in the vehicle without permission, to avoid unnecessary damage.

④ While the coach is temporarily stopped, follow the guide’s instructions and do not wander away.

⑤ When getting off the coach to sightsee, eat, or shop, please make sure the coach windows are closed and keep your valuables with you. The travel agency accepts no responsibility for items that are lost or stolen.

⑥ As the journey is long and the vehicle is under considerable strain, should the coach break down and affect the itinerary, the travel agency will promptly take remedial measures. Please cooperate.

III. Other Information and Precautions

1. Please comply with local laws and regulations.

2. Be sure to carry relevant documents and a valid passport with you.

3. During group activities, follow the instructions of the tour leader/guide and avoid leaving the group for your own safety.

4. Before taking part in any high-risk activity, assess your health and ability, and follow the relevant safety instructions, such as wearing a life jacket, fastening a seat belt, and wearing suitable or specified clothing. We recommend avoiding these activities during free time on the trip. If you choose to participate, you do so at your own risk.

5. Do not participate in entertainment activities suspected of being illegal.

6. Pay attention to and heed all warnings. For example, do not wander around or feed animals in wildlife parks.

7. Be especially vigilant when visiting areas with poor public security, and avoid going out alone.
