2) If a group member leaves the tour unexpectedly or does not participate in any group activities during the trip (such as meals or sightseeing), they must complete and sign the Mid-Tour Withdrawal Declaration provided by our company. Fees paid are non-refundable.

3) All of the above must be confirmed in writing; otherwise, they will be deemed automatically forfeited, and the company accepts no responsibility.

2. Liability:

1. Our company acts only as an agent for services arranged by airlines, hotels, transportation providers, or other travel organizations. We shall have no connection with, and accept no responsibility for, any property loss, accidental death, or additional expenses incurred by participants or guests on the itineraries or brochures as a result of natural or man-made disasters, mechanical failures, traffic delays, fires, strikes, war, political unrest, circumstances beyond our control, or changes to government regulations.

2. The organizations operating the sightseeing transport and hotels used by our company, such as aircraft, ships, trains and buses, each have different rules concerning passenger safety, lost luggage and other matters. Any cases involving lost luggage, accidental injury or death, or property loss will be resolved according to the rules established by the relevant organizations. They are entirely unrelated to our company, which bears no responsibility whatsoever.

3. In exceptional circumstances, such as severe weather, strikes, typhoons, lost documents, hotels unexpectedly announcing that they are fully booked, cancellation or delay of the scheduled flight, political upheaval, epidemics, or any other unforeseen event beyond our control, it may be necessary to change or cancel any part of the itinerary, accommodation, or transportation. Our company reserves the right to make decisions at its sole discretion based on the circumstances at the time. In such cases, participants may not object or claim compensation. Participants are responsible for any resulting losses or additional costs.

4. All tour participants must comply with the laws of each country. Carrying goods for illegal resale or prohibited items is strictly forbidden. Entry and exit regulations are set by each individual country. If you are denied entry to any country for personal reasons, our company will bear no responsibility. No refund will be given for the remainder of the tour, and you will be responsible for any additional costs incurred, such as transportation and accommodation. These costs are unrelated to our company.

5. In the event of theft at any time or place resulting in the loss of money or belongings, the company, driver, tour leader and tour guide accept no responsibility. Participants are responsible for looking after their own valuables, documents and other belongings.

6. If a participant is late for any reason or under any circumstances and misses the flight or bus departure, the Company accepts no responsibility and will not refund any fees.

7. As the bus model may not be suitable for transporting wheelchairs, we regret that we cannot accept bookings from wheelchair users. (Note: For a “Private Tour”, please notify us before requesting a quote.)

8. Our company reserves the right to publish images of participants, and we may take photos and videos of activities during the trip.

9. Important: If, during the trip, travellers accidentally or deliberately damage the tour bus or any facilities within the hotel premises, they will bear full responsibility and must compensate for all related losses. Serious damage may also result in criminal liability under local law. We ask all travellers to take care of public property and enjoy their trip!

3. Important Information for Tour Participants:

1. As luggage compartment space on tour buses is limited, each passenger may bring only one large and one small piece of luggage on board (the large item must not exceed 30 kg or 158 cm in total dimensions). Passengers bringing more than one large and one small item (if there is sufficient room in the luggage compartment) will be charged €5 per additional item per day for the driver’s handling fee (£5 per item on UK tours). We appreciate your understanding.

2. European travel differs from travel in other parts of the world. Most attractions cannot be reached directly by tour bus and must be visited on foot. Travelers with limited mobility may have to wait on the bus at some attractions and may be unable to join the group visit. No compensation or refund may be requested for attractions missed for this reason. Please take note and consider this carefully before booking. Once your booking is confirmed, you are deemed to have accepted these terms.

3. The driver and tour leader work hard throughout the journey to serve all participants, explain the attractions and provide assistance. Please show your appreciation by tipping them before the end of the tour. In keeping with European custom, our company requires each participant to give the driver and tour leader a minimum combined tip of 10 euros / 10 pounds per day.

4. Please present this tour voucher to board at the meeting point. The tour will not wait for late arrivals, and the tour fee will not be refunded. Our company accepts no responsibility. In the event of an emergency, please call the emergency number.

5. Participants are responsible for obtaining and carrying valid travel documents (passport) and visas. These must be valid for at least six months from the departure date. If entry is refused by immigration or customs for any reason, our company accepts no responsibility. Participants are responsible for all resulting losses, and tour fees will not be refunded.

6. Please avoid bringing valuables and expensive jewellery where possible. Keep valuables and travel documents with you and take care of them yourself. The Company, driver and tour leader accept no responsibility for any loss.

7. All tour participants must abide by the laws of each country. Carrying goods for illegal resale or any prohibited items is strictly forbidden. Smoking is prohibited in all public places and indoor premises in Europe, including hotel rooms. Fines may be as high as €1,000, so please comply with local laws. In recent years, visitors have been prohibited from sitting on the ground to rest or eat at some famous European buildings and attractions. This is not only considered disrespectful, but may also result in immediate prosecution.

8. Meals and admission tickets during the itinerary are at your own expense. Please refer to the Spending Guide to estimate costs and bring an adequate amount of local currency for use during the trip. Please bring your own medication if needed.

9. If participants wish to travel independently, return separately or leave the tour partway through for any reason, the Company will assist with arrangements. However, the Company will not be responsible for any direct or indirect costs or losses relating to transport, accommodation or other delays that result in participants missing pre-arranged itinerary items.

10. If any tour participant deliberately obstructs the tour leader’s work, endangers the personal safety of others, or disrupts the normal activities or interests of the group, the tour leader may, depending on the circumstances or with the approval of the majority of participants, cancel that person’s right to continue on the tour and require them to leave the group. No refund will be given for the uncompleted portion of the trip, and the company accepts no responsibility for the participant’s actions after leaving the group.

11. If a flight or bus departure is delayed due to a breakdown or traffic congestion, and the itinerary must be changed or activities canceled, participants may not object or withdraw on these grounds. If bad weather, strikes, or unforeseen accidents cause itinerary delays, participants may not claim compensation or a refund of the tour fee on these grounds.

12. The itinerary is for reference only. The company will make appropriate arrangements and adjustments to the sightseeing schedule and accommodation based on actual circumstances. Activities may also be canceled if attractions are closed for holidays or local festivals. Tour members are expected to accept such changes and may not object.

13. If people who do not know each other share a room, including when the arrangement is made by our company, the participants’ character and conduct are not the company’s responsibility. We will not intervene in any disputes that may arise.

14. The operators of the sightseeing transport and hotels used by our company, such as airlines, shipping companies, railways, and bus operators, each have their own regulations concerning participant safety, lost luggage, and other matters. Cases involving lost luggage, accidental injury or death, and property damage will be handled according to the regulations established by the relevant operators, and are not the company’s responsibility.

15. We recommend that participants take out their own travel accident and luggage insurance. For information about insurance arrangements, please contact the travel agency where you booked or enquire directly with our company.

16. As not all bus models are equipped to carry wheelchairs, we regret that we cannot accept bookings from wheelchair users on group tours. (Note: For private tours, please notify us before requesting a quote.)

17. Temperatures in Europe vary considerably between day and night. The average temperature exceeds 30°C for no more than two months each year, and European countries place a strong emphasis on environmental protection. As a result, some hotels in Europe do not have air conditioning. This does not mean that the hotel facilities are below standard. We appreciate your understanding.

18. Our company has the right to publish images of participants, and we may take photographs and videos during the tour. If you do not wish to appear in them, please avoid the camera.

19. If the tour group is small, goEUgo reserves the right to combine guests speaking different languages on the same tour bus.

20. As other tour participants may be allergic to pets and some hotels do not allow pets, pets are not permitted on the tour. Please make arrangements for your pet in advance. Thank you for your understanding.
