Group Tour Notes
To best protect your interests, please carefully read this company's Registration Notice and Liability Details. These Registration Notice and Liability Details are important matters notified by our company to outbound travel group members and, together with this company's Overseas Travel Safety Notice and Other Precautions, form part of the travel contract. Our company reserves the right of interpretation of the contents of this website.
(1) Registration Process and Precautions
By registering for a tour through this website, please carefully read in advance all the terms published on our company webpage, in the order confirmation, and in the group tour notice. Once you submit your order, our company will consider that you have confirmed and fully agreed to the terms we have published. If a group member violates the rules mentioned in the terms, all consequences will be borne by the group member.
1. When registering, please first complete the registration order form on the webpage. Please fill in carefully and verify all entered information, including name, gender, ID number, contact information, required room type, and pick-up/drop-off points. Our company is not responsible for any losses caused by incorrect registration information entered by the individual. Upon successful submission, our company will send you an order confirmation. Because tour bus seats are limited, our company will prioritize boarding based on payment receipt, and ultimately our agency will arrange vehicles according to group size, ensuring one seat per person. After verifying the information, please arrange payment within the valid order period. Those who fail to pay the full tour fee by the deadline will be automatically treated as withdrawn from the group, and our company has the right to cancel your order without further notice.
2. Group members must, once the group is confirmed to depart, pay 100% of the tour fee within the order retention period. Because tour bus seats and hotel room allocations are limited, and hotel bookings often have time restrictions, members who register within five working days before departure must complete payment promptly. Otherwise, our company has the right to retain or cancel such orders depending on the specific circumstances without prior consent from the registrant. Regardless of the payment method, any processing fees are borne by the payer. After payment, please send proof of payment (bank counter transfer slip or screenshot of successful online transfer) to our company by email or fax, and be sure to note the corresponding order number on the proof; otherwise, finance cannot match the payment to the order. If, due to late payment, the group fee has not arrived 2 days before the group ends, our company has the right to require the member to deposit the corresponding group fee in cash with the tour guide. If later verified as a duplicate payment, our company will immediately refund the overpayment.
3. After confirming receipt of payment from group members, the Company will confirm their participation. Group members will receive a pre-departure notice at the email address provided during registration 3 days before departure, containing information such as the guide, itinerary and pick-up/drop-off points for reference. Due to network delays or spam filtering, you may not receive the notice 3 days before departure; if this happens, please contact our staff proactively for assistance.
4. Our company defaults to same-gender room sharing. When arranging hotel room types according to the requirements submitted by group members, if single or odd-numbered guests sign up (such as 3, 5, 7 people, etc.), our company will arrange room sharing according to the actual situation. If guests do not agree to room sharing arrangements, they may choose to pay the additional single room supplement. In special circumstances, such as insufficient rooms at certain hotels during peak tourist season or other uncontrollable reasons, room types may change, and group members must cooperate with our arrangements. If on-site room arrangements do not meet the requirements of participants due to incorrect gender or room type requirements entered during registration, our company will coordinate and arrange based on the remaining room availability on the day of hotel check-in, and any additional costs incurred will be borne by the group member.
Note: Guests who do not know each other and are paired to share a room are arranged by our company, but the personal conduct and behavior of group members are unrelated to our company. In the event of any differences in habits or disputes, our company and the tour guide bear no responsibility for coordination or intervention.
5. If a group member needs to leave the group midway due to special circumstances, they must notify us proactively at the time of registration or before joining the group, and sign the "Mid-Tour Departure Declaration." For early departure, a reduction of 30 euros will be made for each night not stayed (or 50 euros per night if registered for a full-trip single room). If no hotel nights are cut, no tour fee reduction will apply. If a group member requests to leave midway during the tour, they must proactively inform the tour guide and sign the "Mid-Tour Departure Declaration," and fees paid will not be refunded. Group members must provide truthful information regarding health, identity and other matters during registration and the itinerary, fill in relevant information honestly, and complete legal procedures. Costs and losses arising from personal reasons such as physical discomfort during the trip shall be borne by the group member. Tourists with special medical histories (such as those with severe illness, terminal illness or infectious diseases) must disclose this truthfully at registration. Due to tourists' health conditions or other reasons, our company reserves the right to accept or decline bookings.
6. Persons over 70 years old registering for the tour must be accompanied by a family member and fill in a "Group Participation Declaration." If there is no family member accompanying and the person insists on registering, our company has the right to refuse acceptance depending on the circumstances. All consequences caused by the group member's own reasons during the trip shall be borne by the group member.
7. If a travel group member is pregnant, this must be truthfully declared at registration. Where the pregnancy exceeds 24 weeks, joining the tour is in principle not recommended. Those who insist on joining must be accompanied by one family member and complete a Disclaimer, although our company reserves the right to refuse acceptance depending on the circumstances. Where the pregnancy is under 24 weeks but the member still insists on joining, one family member must accompany them and complete a Travel Group Declaration, although our company reserves the right to refuse acceptance depending on the circumstances. All consequences arising from individual reasons of group members during the trip shall be borne by the members themselves.
8. Minors joining the tour must be accompanied by at least one adult who assumes guardianship duties and is responsible for the minor's safety. All consequences arising from the minor member's own reasons or the accompanying adult's negligence during the trip shall be borne by the member.
9. Members must confirm that all travel group information provided is accurate and correct, with personal identification and contact phone numbers being especially important. All consequences arising from incorrect information provided by members (such as being unable to cross borders due to expired personal documents or visa types not complying with the entry tourism regulations of relevant countries, or guides and other relevant staff being unable to contact members due to incorrect mobile phone numbers provided by members) shall be borne by the members, including personal return fees, transportation costs, travel expenses, and other losses.
10. Registrants are kindly requested not to book any flights or train/bus tickets related to the registered itinerary before the order is confirmed. If a group member books flights or tickets related to the itinerary on their own initiative and the registration is ultimately unsuccessful, all losses shall be borne by the registrant.
11. If a group member falls under any of the following circumstances, the travel agency may terminate the contract (except as otherwise provided by relevant laws and administrative regulations): (1) suffering from an infectious disease or other illness that may endanger the health and safety of other group members; (2) carrying items that endanger public safety and refusing to hand them over to the relevant authorities; (3) engaging in illegal activities or activities contrary to public morals; (4) engaging in activities that seriously affect the rights and interests of other members and refusing to stop after being advised; (5) other circumstances affecting contract performance as stipulated by law. When the travel agency terminates the contract due to the above circumstances, it shall notify the group member in writing or by other means, and may deduct necessary expenses as appropriate before refunding the remaining balance to the group member.

[Note: the free roommate-matching service does not apply to accommodation before or after the tour;]

3) Some routes do not arrange room sharing. If an odd number of people sign up for such a route, they must register at the single-room rate, for example for the USA/Canada/Kenya/Egypt, etc. [Note: For routes where room sharing is unavailable, customer service will notify you separately.]
(3) Obligations of Group Members
1. Group members must not engage in illegal activities during the tour.
2. Group members, when exercising their rights, must not harm the interests of the country, society, or collective, or the lawful rights of others.

4. Make every effort to learn the knowledge needed for travel and improve your self-protection awareness. Group members are advised to choose and purchase personal travel accident insurance and other insurance on their own. During the trip, you should properly keep your luggage and belongings, and carry valuables with you or take other protective measures. Unless a group member specifically requests otherwise, the travel agency assumes by default that the group member has purchased overseas travel insurance on their own and is not responsible for consequences arising from the customer not purchasing insurance. (Note: The insurance mentioned here refers only to overseas travel insurance. Transportation and entertainment items all include the corresponding insurance required by local law, which is not included in overseas travel insurance.)
5. Pay attention to local climate conditions during travel and take care of children's safety.
6. When group members voluntarily participate in dangerous tourist activities included in regular tour itineraries, including rock climbing, mountaineering, rafting, diving, bungee jumping and other activities that may cause personal injury, any resulting disputes, property losses or personal injuries shall be borne by the group member individually, and our company bears no responsibility.
(4) Responsibility
1. Our company reserves the right to change accommodation locations, travel routes, sightseeing order, attractions visited and departure dates according to specific circumstances.
2. If the number of participants is insufficient, or if changes beyond our company's control occur, such as problems with ships or aircraft, our company reserves the right to modify or cancel the itinerary. If the itinerary is canceled, our company will refund all fees paid by group members in full or recommend a similar alternative product. Our company bears no liability for canceling any itinerary.
3. In the event of social unrest, terrorist activities, major infectious disease outbreaks, natural disasters, calamities, riots, murder, civil disturbances, war or other incidents beyond the Company's control that may seriously endanger the personal safety of group members, as well as weather, traffic, strikes or other unforeseen circumstances, the Company has the right to cancel or replace any tour item before departure or after setting out, and also the right to shorten or extend the itinerary, but group members must be notified in advance. The Company is not responsible for any additional expenses or losses incurred, and group members may not object or withdraw on such grounds.
4. Since public security conditions vary from country to country, group members should pay attention to personal and traffic safety and properly keep their belongings and luggage. If any loss, theft, robbery or other damage occurs during the trip, please promptly notify the tour leader and report to the police immediately. Our company assumes no legal liability.
5. Group members must carry valid passports with visa pages, residence permits and other required documents at all times. If mid-tour withdrawal results from problems with documents or passports, the participant shall bear the consequences, and the remaining tour fee will not be refunded. If this affects the normal itinerary of other group members, the group member shall bear corresponding liability for compensation.
6. If a group member suffers personal injury or property loss during the itinerary due to an accident (such as an accident during entertainment or games, or illness, death, falls or injuries resulting from personal activities, or violation of the terms and notices stated in our company's contract), the relevant liability and costs shall be borne by the group member. Our company does not bear responsibility for such injuries or property losses. If losses are caused to our company as a result, the group member shall bear compensation liability.
7. If a group member deliberately violates the rules or obstructs the normal activities and interests of the group, this company's tour leader has the right to cancel their participation qualification. Fees paid will not be refunded, and this company bears no responsibility for the member's actions after leaving the group.
8. The times marked in the itinerary are for reference only.

If members need to take other transportation to other cities for subsequent travel arrangements, we strongly recommend reserving at least 3 hours of spare time to avoid inconvenience caused by itinerary delays. Our company is not responsible for losses incurred from self-arranged itineraries due to insufficient spare time reserved by members.
(5) Overseas Travel Safety Notice and Other Precautions
I. Friendly Reminders
1. Some attractions in Europe offer student discounts; students are advised to bring a student card.
2. Plug standards differ across European countries (for example, the plugs used in Italy and Switzerland differ from those used in Germany). If needed, please bring your own plug adapters.
3. For safety reasons, European coach regulations require that children must occupy a seat regardless of age. Since most tour buses do not provide child safety seats, parents bringing children under 3 may prepare their own; however, each child safety seat occupies one seat only, and we cannot guarantee that all self-provided safety seats are suitable for tour buses. Please take note.
II. Safety Notes
Clothing
1. The weather in Europe is changeable; please be sure to carry rain gear and a thicker jacket.
2. Please keep your belongings and luggage safe; the Company shall not be responsible for any loss or theft.
3. Clearly write your name and contact method on your luggage for identification and easy return if found. If luggage is lost, promptly notify the relevant organizations (such as hotels, airlines, etc.) and report to the police. If it cannot be recovered, keep the police report to claim compensation from the relevant organizations or insurance company (if insurance was purchased).
Food
1. Hotel breakfast: Breakfast in Europe is usually simple. Hotel breakfast typically includes bread, coffee, tea, and juice. Hotels arranged by our company include buffet breakfast.
2. Carry bottled water, dry food and other snacks with you for emergencies, especially for the elderly and children.
3. Do not drink unclean water, and do not eat food that is unhygienic, has an odor or has spoiled;
4. Do not accept or consume cigarettes, food or drinks given by strangers.
5. To prevent discomfort from changes in water and climate during travel, bring commonly used or habitual medications. Long-term patients should carry medical records for emergencies. Never take medicine provided by others without caution.
6. Our company does not provide or arrange alcohol consumption. Group members who enjoy drinking should strictly control their alcohol intake during the trip. Any responsibility for drunken disturbances, disruption of public order, infringement on others, or financial losses to third parties shall be borne by the person responsible.

① European cities are relatively small, the number of hotels in city centers is extremely limited, the hotels are not large, and their facilities are rather old, not on par with comparable hotels in China.
② European hotels do not provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers. Please prepare your daily necessities.
③ Please check whether the amenities provided by the hotel are complete and undamaged. If anything is missing or damaged, please immediately report it to hotel staff or your tour guide.
④ For various reasons, such as environmental protection, historical buildings, and Europe's relatively cool climate, many hotels do not have air conditioning.
⑤ Hotels in Italy are often housed in older buildings. Blankets are generally kept in the room's wardrobe. If you cannot find one, please contact the front desk to request one.
⑥Guests who need one should bring their own portable travel hair dryer.
⑦German-style double beds usually consist of one large bed with two sets of bedding. Regardless of whether guests request one large bed or two single beds, this bed configuration is also common in most parts of Europe.
2. Hotel dining:
① Hotel rooms in Europe do not provide hot drinking water.
② Please cherish food, do not waste it, and do not take it away.
③ Breakfast hours vary among European hotels. Please be sure to go to the restaurant early according to the hotel's notified time to avoid arriving late for personal reasons and finding insufficient food available.
④ Hotel dining in Europe differs somewhat from China. Breakfast is relatively simple (German breakfasts are more substantial, while Italian breakfasts are the simplest, consisting only of bread and coffee), and lunch and dinner are also not especially lavish. Their quantity and quality differ considerably from domestic standards.
3. Hotel check-in safety tips:
① Please keep valuables in safe custody and do not leave them in the hotel room. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash, expensive watches, or jewelry. Keep travel documents and belongings safe, and carry a set of photocopies of your travel documents and credit cards to serve as proof for replacement in case of loss. Our company is not responsible for loss or theft. ② Please do not smoke in hotel rooms; fines imposed by the hotel as a result will be paid by the person responsible.
③ After checking into the hotel, you should familiarize yourself with the hotel's safety instructions, check whether the room windows can be opened, locate the firefighting equipment, and become familiar with the hotel's emergency exits, emergency staircases, and evacuation routes.
④ Do not tell strangers where you are staying or your room number. Do not let strangers or people claiming to be hotel maintenance staff enter your room. Lock the door when entering or leaving, check that windows and doors are closed and the deadbolt is locked before sleeping, and keep valuables close to you rather than near windows or other exposed places.
⑤ When group members need to go out after checking into the hotel, they should inform the tour guide, and pick up a hotel business card at the front desk. The card shows the hotel's address and phone number, which can be shown to others for help if you get lost.
Travel
1. Boarding and alighting:
① All group members must gather on time and depart on time. Please arrive at the boarding location 15 minutes in advance. Our tour coach will not wait. Those who fail to gather and depart at the agreed time and place, or fail to join midway, will be deemed to have voluntarily given up, and no refund will be provided.
② The departure and arrival times stated on the webpage are estimates. Specific boarding and alighting locations are subject to confirmation by our company. (If traffic conditions or other special circumstances prevent our coach from arriving at the boarding location on time, or the time or location changes temporarily, our company will notify you promptly. Please be patient.)
③ Coaches come in three types: full-size coaches, midi coaches, and 9-seat minibuses. Full-size coaches generally have a dedicated luggage compartment, while midi coaches and 9-seat minibuses have relatively less luggage space. Given the limited luggage space on coaches, it is recommended to bring as little luggage as possible when traveling. Our company will arrange vehicles according to the final group size, ensuring one seat per person.
④ To avoid overcrowding at attractions, bus parking areas in most European cities are located far from the attractions, and drivers are not allowed to park randomly; violators face heavy fines. Sometimes the boarding and alighting points are some distance from the attractions. We kindly ask all group members for their understanding.
2. Bus safety reminder:
① Smoking is prohibited inside the vehicle.
② Please do not carry prohibited items.
③ Do not randomly handle any items in the vehicle to avoid unnecessary damage.
④ During temporary stops of the coach, follow your tour guide's arrangements and do not wander far away.
⑤ When group members get off the coach for sightseeing, dining, or shopping, please make sure the coach windows are closed and carry your valuables with you. The travel agency is not responsible for any loss or theft.
⑥Due to the long travel time and heavy vehicle loads, if the bus breaks down and affects the itinerary, the travel agency will promptly take remedial measures. Group members are kindly asked to cooperate actively.
III. Other Essential Information and Notes
1. Please abide by the laws and regulations of each location.
2. Please be sure to carry your relevant documents and valid passport with you.
3. When participating in group activities, follow the instructions of the tour leader/guide and avoid leaving the group for safety.

If a group member insists on participating, they do so at their own risk.
5. Do not participate in entertainment activities suspected of being illegal.
6. Pay attention to and heed all warnings, such as not wandering around or feeding animals in wildlife parks.
