No guide or vehicle is included during free time at the Red Sea. Transfers between cities are with a driver only, without a guide; an English-speaking assistant will provide the driver's phone number or license plate number.)

4. 1 bottle of mineral water per person per day in Turkey

2. Optional activities in Cappadocia, such as hot-air balloon rides, ATV tours, and camel rides

2. Visa fees

4. Flights (international flights; Istanbul–Cairo flight at your own expense)

5. Lunches, dinners, and personal expenses not included in the itinerary

7. Personal travel insurance: Travel insurance is required for all group tours. We strongly recommend purchasing insurance before traveling to help protect your interests through the insurance company in the event of a personal mishap, such as illness or loss of belongings.

Important travel information for the Turkey segment

Turkey is visa-free for holders of Chinese passports.

A scan of the passport information page (an email copy is sufficient), in case it is lost overseas

Local SIM card (can be purchased on Taobao)

Buy and bring a travel adapter. The local plug type is the European two-pin round plug.

Bring a scarf (a headscarf must be worn inside the mosque; if you don’t have one, free scarves are available to borrow outside the attraction); bring sunglasses, an umbrella, a bath towel, and sunscreen as appropriate for the season and your personal needs.

The official currency of Turkey is the lira. Euros and US dollars are accepted in many places, but attraction tickets can only be purchased in lira.

Turkish ATMs charge withdrawal fees, and exchange rates are unpredictable. We recommend bringing euros or US dollars to exchange for lira locally.

Temperatures in Turkey can vary considerably between day and night. Bring enough clothing to stay warm, as it’s easy to catch a chill.

Most hotels in Turkey do not provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or razors, so remember to bring your own.

Regarding optional activities on the Türkiye itinerary: Registering in advance does not guarantee a successful booking. Advance registration allows us to reserve a place ahead of time and increase the likelihood of securing a spot. (Some activities are not suitable for guests under 1.1 m tall, those with a fear of heights, asthma, high or low blood pressure, panic disorder, or other cardiovascular conditions.)

Important information for the Egypt segment:

1. This is a destination-join-in tour with international group departures. Provided the promised services and standards remain unchanged, different vehicles and guides may serve you on different days. You will share vehicles with other guests, and guests arriving a few days before or after you, or taking the same itinerary, may be regrouped to travel together in a different order. The travel agency and guide may make reasonable adjustments to your itinerary based on weather, traffic, and other conditions (such as changing the itinerary order, sightseeing order, timing, or flights), without reducing the number of attractions. Please take note.

2. Under local Egyptian regulations, the Chinese-speaking guides and English-speaking assistants on this tour are all Egyptian. They are professional and welcoming, and most have religious beliefs. Please respect their beliefs, lifestyle, and food culture during the tour. No Chinese-speaking guide or vehicle is provided during free time. An English-speaking assistant can come to the hotel to help if needed. Some transfers and domestic flights may be accompanied only by an English-speaking assistant or driver.

3. We recommend exchanging for US dollars in advance or at the airport. US dollars are preferred locally in Egypt, and euros are also accepted in cash. The guide uses WeChat, so can also accept renminbi through WeChat. If you exchange for Egyptian pounds, you may not be able to buy entrance tickets (some guides can help purchase them, but accept only US dollars, euros, or renminbi). Cruise tips are accepted only in US dollars or euros. Egyptian pounds have few uses during a short trip of just a few days, aside from paying to use the restroom, so exchanging for them may not be necessary.

4. Egypt is still a relatively underdeveloped developing country. Due to local economic constraints, transportation, hotel services and facilities, dining, and other aspects may fall short of standards in developed cities. Local five-star hotels may be equivalent to four-star hotels in China, and some are fairly basic because they opened or were renovated some time ago. The hotels we commonly work with are often outside the city center. Thank you for your understanding.

5. Tipping is deeply ingrained in Egyptian culture. Tips are requested for using public restrooms, hotel porters, restaurant servers, and other services. This is unrelated to our company. Please respect local customs and be prepared for this before your trip.

6. There are no mandatory shopping requirements or arrangements on this tour (excluding shopping at attractions, on cruise ships, and other venues not organized by our company). However, the guide may recommend local specialty shops, such as papyrus painting or essential oil shops. If you are not interested, please decline directly. If other group members wish to shop, a stop may be arranged. Thank you for your understanding.

7. During special holidays (such as May Day, National Day, Christmas, and Chinese New Year) or peak season, cruise ship cabins may be limited. The guide may be on a different cruise ship from the group, or some group members may be assigned to another ship. However, at the docking stops, the guide will arrange to explain the relevant temple attractions (Kom Ombo Temple and Edfu Temple). We appreciate your understanding of any inconvenience this may cause.

8. If you are late or miss an itinerary activity for personal reasons, you will be considered to have voluntarily forfeited that activity. You may not leave the tour group without the consent of the guide or travel agency. If you receive their consent, you must sign a liability waiver for leaving the group and are responsible for your personal safety and belongings during that time. No refunds will be issued in any of these circumstances. You will be solely responsible for any personal safety issues and additional costs arising as a result.

9. Some entertainment and consumer venues at the destination are privately operated and may have inadequate or inconsistent credentials, posing various risks. For your safety and health, please spend cautiously. During free time, do not go out privately with anyone outside the travel agency or visit dangerous areas. While you are away from the group, our company cannot ensure your safety or accept responsibility for any other activities you take part in or any issues arising in dangerous areas. Please take care of your personal safety when going out or taking part in optional activities, and do not take part in high-risk activities such as camel riding. Please note that our company cannot ensure your safety during such activities.

10. Meals listed in the itinerary are included. Without reducing the number of meals, the dining locations and standards may be adjusted according to the actual itinerary and group size. If you choose to forgo a meal, no refund will be given. All buffets listed in the itinerary are provided by hotels or cruise ships and generally do not include beverages or alcoholic drinks; please pay for these yourself if needed.

11. Local guides may recommend optional excursions for this product depending on the circumstances. These are generally offered as packages, and you may choose whether to participate according to your needs. There is absolutely no forced spending. Please review and understand the excursions before signing up and paying; once confirmed, they cannot be refunded or changed.

12. Local transport conditions in Egypt are poor. Traffic jams are common in city centers, and drivers generally have poor driving habits. If a driver drives unsafely or speeds, please promptly point this out and ask them to correct their behavior. If you have any concerns, contact our company promptly to avoid potential hazards and danger.

13. Public security in Egypt is relatively good, and it is a safe country. However, please keep valuables with you in hotels and crowded places, and take good care of your belongings whenever you go out. When getting off the vehicle for sightseeing, dining, shopping, etc., please make sure the vehicle doors and windows are closed and keep your valuables with you. The travel agency accepts no responsibility for loss or theft.

14. During your trip in Egypt, local police may conduct random passport checks. The English-speaking assistant meeting you at the airport will also ask to check your passport to verify your name. Before departure, check that your passport is valid and that you have the correct visa type. You must carry a valid passport with you while on the tour. If a group member joins without a valid passport, the guide has the right to refuse them or remove them from the tour.

Changes and cancellation policy

Tour Information

To protect your interests as much as possible, please read our Booking Notes and Terms of Liability carefully. This document contains important information that our company wishes to bring to the attention of tour members traveling overseas, and, together with our Important Safety Information for Overseas Travel and Other Notes, forms part of the travel contract. We reserve all rights to interpret the content of this website.

(I) Registration Process and Important Notes

If you book through this website, please carefully read all the terms published on our company website, in the order confirmation, and in the tour information notice. By submitting your order, you confirm that you have read and fully agree to the terms published by our company. If any tour participant violates the rules set out in these terms, they shall bear all resulting consequences.

1. When booking, please fill out the booking form on the website. Carefully complete and check all information, including names, gender, ID/passport numbers, contact details, required room type, and pickup and drop-off points. Our company accepts no liability for losses arising from incorrect information provided by the customer. After successful submission, we will send you an order confirmation. As seats on the tour bus are limited, we will prioritize boarding arrangements according to when payment is received. The final vehicle will be assigned based on group size, with one seat guaranteed per person. After checking that all details are correct, please arrange payment within the validity period of the order. If the tour fee is not paid in full by the deadline, the booking will be treated as automatically canceled, and we reserve the right to cancel your order without further notice.

2. Guests must ensure that the full tour fee (100%) is paid at least five business days before departure. As tour bus seats and hotel rooms are limited, and hotel bookings are often subject to deadlines, guests booking within five business days of departure must promptly complete payment. Otherwise, depending on the circumstances, we reserve the right to hold or cancel the order without first obtaining the applicant’s consent. The payer is responsible for any fees incurred regardless of the payment method. After payment, please email or fax proof of payment (the bank transaction slip for an in-person transfer or a screenshot of the successful online transfer) to our company. Be sure to include the corresponding order number on the proof; otherwise, our finance department cannot match the payment to the order. If the tour fee has still not arrived two days before the end of the tour because payment was made late, we reserve the right to ask the guest to provide the corresponding amount in cash to the tour guide as a deposit. If we later confirm that payment was made twice, we will promptly refund the overpayment.

3. After our company confirms receipt of the participants’ payments, we will confirm their tour registration. Five days before departure, participants will receive a tour confirmation notice at the email address provided during registration. It will include information for reference, such as the tour guide, itinerary, and pickup and drop-off points. Due to network delays or spam filtering, participants may not receive the notice five days before departure. If this happens, please contact the relevant staff for assistance.

4. In special circumstances, such as during peak travel season, room types may change if individual hotels do not have enough rooms or for other reasons beyond our control. Participants must cooperate with our arrangements. If the room assignment on arrival does not meet a participant’s requirements because they entered their gender or room-type preference incorrectly during registration, our agency will coordinate and make arrangements based on the rooms available at the hotel that day. Any additional costs incurred will be borne by the participant.

5. If a participant needs to leave the tour early for special reasons, they must notify us when registering or before joining the tour and sign an “Early Departure Declaration.” For each night of accommodation not used after leaving early, 16 EUR will be deducted (or 30 EUR per unused night if the participant booked a single room for the entire tour). If no hotel nights are missed, no refund will be made from the tour price. If a participant requests to leave the tour early during the trip, they must inform the tour guide and sign an “Early Departure Declaration”; fees paid will not be refunded. Participants must provide truthful information about their health, identity, and other relevant matters when registering and during the trip, complete all relevant information accurately, and fulfill the required legal formalities. Participants are responsible for any costs and losses resulting from personal reasons, such as feeling unwell during the trip. Visitors with a history of serious illness (for example, those with a critical, terminal, or contagious disease) must disclose this truthfully when registering. In view of a visitor’s health or other circumstances, our company reserves the right to decide whether to accept their registration.

6. Travelers aged 70 or over who sign up for a tour must be accompanied by a family member and complete the “Tour Participation Declaration.” If they insist on signing up without a family member, our company reserves the right to refuse their booking, depending on the circumstances. Travelers shall be responsible for all consequences arising during the trip from their own actions.

7. Pregnant travelers must disclose their pregnancy when booking. As a general rule, participation is not recommended for those more than 24 weeks pregnant. Those who insist on joining must be accompanied by a family member and complete a Liability Waiver, but our company reserves the right to refuse participation depending on the circumstances. Those less than 24 weeks pregnant who insist on joining must also be accompanied by a family member and complete a Participation Declaration, but our company reserves the right to refuse participation 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 fulfills their duty of care and is responsible for the minor’s safety. Participants are responsible for all consequences arising from a minor’s own actions or from inadequate supervision by their accompanying adult during the trip.

9. Participants must ensure that all information provided for the tour is accurate, especially personal identification details and contact phone numbers. Participants are responsible for all consequences resulting from incorrect information (for example, being unable to cross a border because personal identification documents have expired or the visa type does not meet the relevant country’s entry requirements, or a guide and other relevant staff being unable to contact a participant because the mobile phone number provided is incorrect). Participants are responsible for any resulting personal return travel costs, transportation costs, travel expenses, and other losses.

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

(4) Member Obligations

1. Tour participants must not engage in illegal activities during the trip.

2. When exercising their rights, group members 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 etiquette. Tour members should respect the dignity of tourism service staff, show mutual respect and assist one another, and respect local ethnic customs and traditions. Do not deface landscapes or buildings, spit, litter, or engage in other uncivilized behavior.

4. Make an effort to learn what you need to know for your trip and strengthen your awareness of personal safety. Tour members may choose and purchase personal accident travel insurance and other insurance at their own discretion. During the trip, keep your luggage and belongings safe, and carry valuables with you or take other protective measures.

5. When traveling, pay attention to the local weather and take care to keep children safe.

6. If a traveler voluntarily takes part in hazardous activities included in a regular tour itinerary, such as rock climbing, mountaineering, rafting, scuba diving, or bungee jumping, which may cause personal injury, the traveler shall be solely responsible for any resulting disputes, property loss, or personal injury, and our company shall bear no liability.

(5) Liability

1. Our company reserves the right to change accommodation, travel routes, places visited, and departure dates as required by specific circumstances.

2. If changes arise beyond our company’s control, such as insufficient numbers of participants or problems with a ship / aircraft, our company reserves the right to change or cancel the itinerary.

3. In the event of civil unrest, terrorist activity, a serious infectious disease outbreak, natural disaster, other disaster, disturbance, murder, riot, war, or other disaster beyond our company’s control that may seriously threaten members’ personal safety, or unforeseen circumstances such as weather, transport disruptions, or strikes, our company reserves the right to cancel or replace any tour activity before or after departure, and to shorten or extend the trip, but must notify members in advance. Our company is not responsible for any resulting additional expenses or losses, and members may not object or withdraw on these grounds.

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

5. Participants must carry a valid passport and identification documents at all times. If a participant has to leave the tour early because of an issue with their documents or passport, they are responsible for this themselves, and any remaining tour fees are non-refundable. If this affects the other participants’ itinerary, the participant must pay the relevant compensation.

6. If a traveler suffers personal injury or death, or loss of property, as a result of an accident during the itinerary (such as an accident while taking part in entertainment or recreational activities, illness, death, or a fall or injury resulting from personal activities, or the traveler’s violation of the provisions or notices set out in our company’s terms), the traveler shall bear all related liability and costs. Our company accepts no responsibility for such injury, death, or loss of property. The traveler shall compensate our company for any losses caused as a result.

Tour Information

Overseas Travel Safety Information and Other Important Notes

To protect your interests as much as possible, please read our Important Safety Information for Overseas Travel and Other Notes carefully. This document contains important information that our company wishes to bring to the attention of tour members traveling overseas, and, together with our Booking Notes and Terms of Liability, forms part of the travel contract.

(1) Helpful tips

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

2. Turkey uses European-style two-pin round plugs. Please bring a suitable plug adapter if needed.

3. For safety reasons, European coach operators require all children, regardless of age, to occupy a seat. As most coaches do not provide child safety seats, parents bringing children under 3 years old may bring their own. However, each child safety seat occupies one coach seat, and we cannot guarantee that every seat brought along will be suitable for the tour coach. Please note this.

(2) Safety information

Clothing

1. The weather in Europe is changeable. Please be sure to bring rain gear and a warmer jacket.

2. Please take good care of your belongings and luggage. We accept no responsibility for loss or theft.

3. Clearly write your name and contact details on your luggage for identification and to make it easier to return if it is found after being lost. If your luggage is lost, notify the relevant parties (such as the hotel or airline) and report it to the police as soon as possible. If it cannot ultimately be recovered, keep the police report to make a claim with the relevant party or your insurance company (if you have insurance).

Food

1. The guide will do their best to help arrange Chinese-style group meals for guests who need them. If there are not enough diners for a group meal, or if one cannot be arranged due to holidays, business hours, or other reasons (for example, there may be no Chinese restaurant in a small town), the guide will do their best to help arrange fast food, Western food, or meals at a supermarket or the hotel. We appreciate your understanding if meals arranged as required by the itinerary cannot meet everyone’s preferences. We recommend bringing bottled water, snacks, and other food in case of need.

2. Do not drink unclean water or eat unhygienic, spoiled, or foul-smelling food. When visiting areas with poor sanitation, choose cooked food and packaged drinks.

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

4. To help prevent travel-related illness, bring any medicines you regularly use or commonly need. Travelers with chronic illnesses should carry their medical records in case of emergency. Never take medication provided by someone else without careful consideration.

5. Our agency does not provide or arrange alcohol. Participants who enjoy drinking must strictly limit their alcohol consumption during the trip. Anyone who causes trouble while intoxicated, disturbs public order, infringes on others’ rights, or causes financial loss to a third party is solely responsible.

Accommodation

1. Hotel facilities:

① European cities are relatively small, with very few hotels in city centers. Hotels are also small and their facilities may be older, and generally do not meet the standards of comparable hotels in China.

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

③ In the event of a trade fair or other large-scale event, we reserve the right to select the hotel’s star rating.

④ If you book with us a hotel in a city that is not scheduled for an overnight stay on the itinerary, we reserve the right to select the hotel’s star rating.

2. Hotel meals:

① European hotel rooms do not provide hot drinking water.

② Hotel food differs somewhat from food in China. Breakfast is fairly simple (more substantial in Germany and simplest in Italy, where it consists only of bread and coffee). Lunch and dinner are also not especially lavish, and their quantity and quality may fall well short of what you are used to at home.

3. Hotel room types:

① Triple rooms consist of one double bed and one single bed, and are only permitted for two adults traveling with one child under 14 years of age.

② For general individual travelers, our company arranges room sharing (twin beds). If there is one male and one female traveling alone, we will try to arrange for each to share with another traveler of the same gender or provide an extra bed. If necessary, married couples may need to stay in separate rooms; please cooperate. When arranging hotel room types according to travelers’ requests at the time of booking, if an odd number of guests or a solo traveler books (for example, 3, 5, or 7 people) and selects a double room, no single-room supplement will be charged if they accept the assigned arrangement. Those who refuse the arrangement must pay the additional single-room supplement.

4. Hotel safety tips:

① Please keep your valuables safe. Do not leave them in your hotel room, and avoid carrying large amounts of cash or expensive watches or jewelry. Keep your travel documents and belongings secure, and bring a photocopy of your travel documents and credit cards to use as proof when applying for replacements if they are lost.

② Please take good care of your belongings and luggage. We accept no responsibility for loss or theft.

③ Please do not smoke in your hotel room. Any resulting hotel fines must be paid by the person responsible.

④ After checking into the hotel, familiarize yourself with its safety information. Check whether the room windows can be opened and where the fire-fighting equipment is located. Find out where the hotel’s emergency exits and stairways are, and learn the evacuation routes.

⑤ Check that all the 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.

⑥ Do not casually tell strangers the name of your hotel or room number. Do not let strangers or anyone claiming to be hotel maintenance staff enter your room. Lock the door whenever you enter or leave, and before going to sleep check that the door and windows are closed and the security lock is engaged. Keep your belongings close to you rather than near the windows or elsewhere.

⑦ If you need to go out while staying at the hotel, inform your tour guide and get a hotel key card from the front desk. The card has the hotel’s address and phone number, which you can use to ask for help if you get lost.

Yes

1. Boarding and alighting:

① All tour participants must gather on time and depart promptly. Please arrive at the pickup point 15 minutes early. Our tour bus will not wait. Anyone who fails to meet at the agreed time and place, or join the tour en route, will be considered to have forfeited their place, and no refund will be given.

② The boarding and disembarking times shown on the website are estimates. The company’s confirmation will determine the exact pickup and drop-off locations. (If traffic or other exceptional circumstances prevent our coach from arriving at the pickup point on time, or the time changes at short notice, we will notify you promptly. Please wait patiently.)

③ Coaches come in three types: 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 coach luggage-compartment space is limited, we recommend bringing as little luggage as possible. We will arrange vehicles based on the final group size, ensuring one seat per person.

④ To avoid overcrowding near attractions, coach parking areas in most European cities are located some distance away, and drivers are not allowed to park wherever they wish. Violations can result in hefty fines, so the drop-off and pick-up points may be some distance from the attractions. We appreciate your understanding.

2. Safety tips for coach travel:

① Smoking is prohibited in the vehicle.

② Do not bring prohibited items.

③ Do not handle any items in the vehicle unnecessarily, to avoid damage.

④ Follow the tour guide’s instructions during temporary coach stops, and do not wander away.

⑤ When leaving the tour vehicle to sightsee, eat, or shop, remember to close the vehicle windows and take your valuables with you. The travel agency accepts no responsibility for loss or theft.

⑥ As the journey is long and the vehicle is under considerable strain, if it breaks down and affects the itinerary, the travel agency will promptly take remedial action. Please cooperate.

(3) Other information and important notes

1. Please comply with local laws and regulations.

2. Please be sure to carry the relevant documents and a valid passport with you.
