Tour Notes
To protect your interests to the greatest extent, please carefully read this company's Registration Notice and Liability Rules. The Registration Notice and Liability Rules are important matters notified to outbound travel group members by our company and, together with this company's Overseas Tour Safety Notice and Other Precautions, form part of the travel contract. Our company reserves the right to interpret the content of this website.
(1) Registration process and precautions
By registering through this website, please carefully read in advance all terms published on our company's web pages, order confirmation and group departure notice. Once you submit your order, our company will consider that you have confirmed and fully agreed to the terms we have published. If group members violate the rules mentioned in the terms, all consequences arising therefrom shall be borne by the group members themselves.
1. When registering, please first complete the registration order on the webpage. Carefully fill in 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 arising from incorrect registration information entered by the individual. After successful submission, our company will send you an order confirmation. Since tourist bus seats are limited, our company will prioritize boarding arrangements based on payment receipt. Ultimately, our company 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 Those who fail to pay the full group fee by the deadline will be automatically treated as withdrawn from the group, and our company has the right to cancel your order without further notice.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 ensure that, once the group is confirmed to depart, 100% of the tour fee is paid within the order retention period. Because tour bus seats and hotel room allocations are limited and hotel bookings often have time limits, members who register within five working days before departure must proactively and promptly complete payment; otherwise, our company has the right to retain or cancel such orders depending on the specific circumstances without obtaining prior consent from the registrant. Regardless of payment method, any handling fees incurred are borne by the payer. After payment, please send the payment proof (bank counter remittance slip or screenshot of successful online transfer success page) to our company by email or fax, and be sure to note the corresponding order number on the proof; otherwise, finance cannot match the received payment to the order. If the tour fee has still not arrived 2 days before the group ends due to late payment, our company has the right to require the member to deposit the corresponding tour fee in cash with the tour guide on duty. If it is later verified as a duplicate payment, our company will immediately refund the overpaid amount.
3. After confirming receipt of travelers' payment, our company will confirm their participation in the tour. Three days before departure, travelers will receive a pre-departure notice at the email address provided during registration, containing information such as the tour guide, itinerary, and pick-up/drop-off points for reference. Due to network delays or spam filters, travelers may not receive the notice three days before departure. If this happens, please contact the relevant staff proactively for assistance.
4. Our company defaults to same-gender room sharing. When arranging hotel room types based on travelers' registration requirements, if a single or odd number of guests registers (such as 3, 5, or 7 people), our company will arrange room sharing according to actual circumstances. If travelers do not accept room sharing arrangements, they may choose to pay the additional single supplement fee. In special circumstances, such as insufficient rooms at certain hotels during peak tourist season or other uncontrollable reasons, room types may change, and travelers must cooperate with our arrangements. If on-site room assignments do not match travelers' requirements due to incorrect gender or room type information entered during registration, our agency will coordinate and arrange based on available rooms on the day of hotel check-in, and any resulting additional costs will be borne by the travelers.
Note: Travelers who are not acquainted with each other and are sharing a room as arranged by our company; the personalities and behavior of group members are unrelated to our company. Should any habit differences or disputes arise, our company and the tour guide bear no responsibility for coordinating or intervening.
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 a 'Mid-Tour Departure Statement.' For early departure, a reduction of 30 euros will be applied for each night not stayed (or 50 euros per night for those who registered for a single room throughout the tour). If no hotel nights are cancelled, no refund will be given. If a group member requests to leave the group during the tour, they must inform the tour guide proactively and sign the 'Mid-Tour Departure Statement,' and the fees paid will not be refunded. Group members must provide truthful information regarding their health, identity, and other matters during registration and the itinerary, fill in relevant information accurately, and complete legal procedures. Expenses and losses arising from personal reasons such as physical discomfort during the journey shall be borne by the group member. Travelers with special medical histories (for example, those with serious illnesses, terminal illnesses, or contagious diseases) must disclose this truthfully at registration. Our company reserves the right to decide whether to accept a traveler based on their health condition or other reasons.
6. Elderly persons over 70 years old registering for the tour must be accompanied by a family member and fill out a 'Group Participation Statement.' If there is no accompanying family member and the person insists on registering, our company reserves 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. Pregnant women registering for the tour must disclose this truthfully at registration. Pregnant women beyond 24 weeks of pregnancy are generally not recommended to join the tour; those who insist on registering must be accompanied by a family member and fill out a 'Disclaimer,' though our company reserves the right to refuse acceptance depending on the circumstances. Pregnant women under 24 weeks who insist on registering must be accompanied by a family member and fill out a 'Group Participation Statement,' though our company reserves the right to refuse acceptance depending on the circumstances. All consequences caused by the group member's personal reasons during the trip shall be borne by the group member.
8. Minors joining the tour must be accompanied by at least one adult who assumes guardianship responsibility and ensures the minor's safety. Any consequences arising during the trip due to the minor's own actions or the accompanying adult's negligence in supervision shall be borne by the group member.
9. Group members must confirm that all travel group information provided is accurate and complete, with personal identification documents and contact phone numbers being especially important. Any consequences resulting from incorrect information provided by group members (e.g., inability to cross the border due to expired personal documents or visa types not meeting the entry tourism regulations of the relevant country; inability of the guide and other relevant staff to contact the traveler due to an incorrect mobile phone number provided by the traveler) shall be borne by the traveler, including personal return fees, transportation costs, travel expenses, and other losses incurred.
10. Registrants are strongly advised not to book any flights or train/bus tickets related to the registered itinerary on their own before the order is confirmed for participation. If a group member personally books flights or tickets related to the itinerary and the registration ultimately fails, 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 (unless 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 social morality; (4) engaging in activities that seriously affect the rights and interests of other parties and refusing to stop after being advised; (5) other circumstances affecting the performance of the contract 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 after deducting necessary expenses as appropriate, refund the remaining balance to the group member.

(3) Group member obligations
1. Group members shall not engage in illegal activities during the tour.
2. Group members must not harm the interests of the country, society, or collective, or the lawful rights and interests of others when exercising their rights.

Travelers should respect the dignity of tourism service personnel and show mutual respect and assistance among fellow group members; respect local ethnic customs and local conditions; strictly refrain from defacing scenery or buildings, and do not spit or litter or engage in other uncivilized behavior.
4. Strive to learn the knowledge needed for travel and enhance self-protection awareness. We recommend that travelers independently choose and purchase personal accident travel insurance and other insurance. During the trip, travelers should properly safeguard their belongings; valuables should be carried on the person or protected by other measures. Unless travelers specifically request otherwise, the travel agency assumes travelers have purchased overseas travel insurance on their own and is not responsible for consequences arising from travelers not purchasing insurance. (Note: The insurance mentioned here refers only to overseas travel insurance. Vehicle transportation and recreational activities include the corresponding insurance required by local law, which is not part of the overseas travel insurance.)
5. When traveling, pay attention to local climate conditions and the safety of children.
6. When group members voluntarily participate in dangerous tourist activities included in regular travel 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 sequence, sites visited, and departure dates as circumstances require.
2. In case of insufficient participants, or changes beyond our company's control such as problems with the ship or aircraft, our company reserves the right to change or cancel the itinerary. If the itinerary is cancelled, our company will fully refund the fees paid by group members or recommend a similar product as a replacement, and our company bears no liability for cancelling any itinerary.
3. In the event of social unrest, terrorist activities, major contagious epidemics, natural disasters, calamities, riots, murder, civil disturbances, war, or other incidents beyond the Company's control that could seriously endanger travelers' personal safety, as well as weather, transportation, strikes, or other unexpected situations, the Company has the right to cancel or replace any tour item before departure or after departure, and also the right to shorten or extend the itinerary, but must notify travelers in advance. Any additional expenses or losses incurred are not the Company's responsibility, and travelers may not object or withdraw on that basis.
4. Since public security conditions vary from country to country, group members should pay attention to personal and traffic safety and properly safeguard their belongings and luggage. If any loss, theft, robbery, or other damage occurs during the trip, please notify the tour leader promptly and report it to the police immediately. Our company assumes no legal liability.
5. Group members must carry valid passports, visa pages, residence permits, and other necessary documents at all times. If early departure from the group results from problems with documents or passports, the traveler shall bear the responsibility, and the remaining tour fees will not be refunded. If this affects the normal itinerary of other group members, the group member shall bear the corresponding compensation liability.
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 a group member violating the terms and notices stated in our company's agreement), the relevant liability and expenses shall be borne by the group member. Our company is not responsible for such injuries or property losses. If losses are caused to our company as a result, the group member shall bear the compensation liability.

The fees paid will not be refunded, and the company bears no responsibility for the group member's actions after leaving the group.
8. The times marked in the itinerary are for reference only. Actual arrival times may be delayed due to force majeure factors such as weather, traffic jams, traffic accidents, festivals and events, riots, strikes, etc. We appreciate your understanding. If group members have subsequent travel arrangements requiring other transportation to other cities, we strongly recommend leaving at least 3 hours of buffer time to avoid inconvenience caused by itinerary delays. Our company is not responsible for losses incurred from self-arranged itineraries due to insufficient buffer time reserved by group members.
(5) Safety notes for overseas travel 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, plugs 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 traveling with children under 3 may bring their own. However, each child safety seat can occupy only one coach seat, so it cannot be guaranteed that all self-provided safety seats will be suitable for tour coaches. Please take note.
II. Safety Notice
Clothing
1. Weather in Europe is changeable; be sure to carry rain gear and a warm jacket.
2. Please keep your belongings and luggage safe. Our company is not responsible for 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 ultimately be recovered, keep the police report to claim from the relevant organizations or insurance company (if insurance was purchased).
Food
1. Hotel breakfast: Europeans typically eat a simple breakfast, and hotel breakfasts usually consist of only bread, coffee, tea, juice, etc. All hotels arranged by our company include a buffet breakfast;
2. Bring bottled water and dry food and other snacks for emergencies, especially for the elderly and children.
3. Do not drink unclean water, and never eat unsanitary or spoiled or foul-smelling food.
4. Do not accept or consume cigarettes, food, or drinks offered by strangers.
5. To prevent the effects of changes in water and environment during the trip, bring commonly used or habitual medications. Long-term patients should carry medical records for emergencies. Never take medications provided by others without caution.

① European cities are relatively small, the number of hotels in city centers is very limited and the scale is not large, and the facilities are relatively old, not on par with comparable hotels in China.
② European hotels generally do not provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers. Please bring your daily necessities.
③ Please check whether the supplies provided by the hotel are complete and undamaged. If anything is missing or damaged, please report it immediately 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.
⑤Hotels in Italy are relatively old in construction. Blankets are generally kept in a cabinet in the room. If there are none, please contact the front desk to add some.
⑥If needed, guests should bring their own small travel hair dryer.
⑦German-style double beds usually consist of one large bed with two bed sets. Regardless of whether guests request one large bed or two single beds, this bed type is common in most parts of Europe.
2. Hotel food and drink:
① European hotel rooms do not provide hot drinking water.
② Please cherish food, do not waste it, and do not take it away.
③ Breakfast times vary among European hotels. Please be sure to arrive at 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 not particularly elaborate. The quantity and quality differ considerably from domestic standards.
3. Hotel check-in safety tips:
① Please keep valuables safely 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 one set of photocopies of travel documents and credit cards to serve as proof for reissuance in case of loss. Our company is not responsible for any loss or theft. ② Please do not smoke in hotel rooms. Any 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 fire-fighting equipment, and learn the hotel's emergency exits, safety 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 casually. Lock the door when entering or leaving the room, check that the door and windows are closed and the safety lock is engaged before sleeping, and keep valuables close to you rather than near windows or other easily accessible places.
⑤When group members leave the hotel during their stay, they should inform the accompanying tour guide and collect a hotel business card from the hotel front desk. The card shows the hotel address and phone number, so if you get lost, you can show the card to ask for help.
Travel
1. Boarding and alighting:
① Group members participating in the tour must gather on time and depart on time. Please arrive at the boarding point 15 minutes in advance. Our tour bus will not wait. Those who fail to gather at the agreed time and place or join midway will be deemed to have voluntarily given up, and no refund will be provided.
② The boarding and alighting times stated on the webpage are estimated times. The specific boarding and alighting locations are subject to confirmation by our company. (If traffic conditions or other special circumstances prevent our bus from arriving at the boarding point on time or cause a temporary change in time, our company will notify you promptly. Please be patient.)
③ Coaches come in three types: full-size buses, midi buses, and 9-seat minibuses. Full-size buses generally have dedicated luggage compartments, while midi buses and 9-seat minibuses have relatively smaller luggage space. Given the limited luggage space on buses, it is recommended not to bring too much luggage when traveling. Our company will arrange vehicles based on the final group size to ensure 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 appreciate your understanding.
2. Bus safety reminders:
① Smoking is prohibited inside the bus.
② Please do not carry prohibited items.
③ Please do not randomly handle any items on the bus to avoid unnecessary damage.
④ During temporary bus stops, follow your tour guide's arrangements and do not wander far away.
⑤ When members get off the bus for sightseeing, dining, or shopping, please make sure to close the bus windows and carry your valuables with you. The travel agency is not responsible for any loss or theft.
⑥Because the journey is long and the vehicles carry heavy loads along the way, if a bus breaks down and affects the itinerary, the travel agency will take prompt remedial measures. Group members are asked to cooperate actively.
III. Other Important Information and Precautions
1. Please observe the local laws and regulations of each location.
2. Be sure to carry relevant documents and a valid passport at all times.
3. When participating in group activities, follow the instructions of the tour leader/guide and avoid leaving the group for safety.
4. Before participating in any high-risk activities, you must assess your personal health and abilities, and comply with the safety guidelines for those activities, such as wearing life jackets, fastening seat belts, and wearing appropriate or designated clothing. Group members are kindly advised to avoid these activities during free time on the trip. If a group member insists on participating, they must assume the risk themselves.
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.
7. When visiting areas with poor public security, be especially vigilant and avoid going out alone.
