Tour Notes
To protect your interests to the greatest extent, please read carefully our Registration Notice and Liability Rules. These Registration Notice and Liability Rules are important matters notified to outbound travel group members by our company and, together with our Overseas Travel 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 all terms published on our company webpages and in the order confirmation and pre-departure notice. After 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 shall be borne by the group members themselves.
1. When registering, please first complete the registration order form on the webpage. Fill in carefully and verify all information entered, 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 tour 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 accuracy, please complete payment within the valid order period. Those who fail to pay the full tour fee by the deadline will be automatically treated as having withdrawn from the tour, and our company has the right to cancel your order without further notice.
2. Group members must, provided the group is confirmed to depart, pay 100% of the tour fee within the order retention period. Because tourist 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 promptly complete payment; otherwise our agency has the right, depending on the specific situation, to retain or cancel such orders without prior consent from the registrant. Any handling fees arising from the payment method are borne by the payer. After payment, please send proof of payment (bank counter remittance 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 payment is delayed such that the tour fee has not arrived 2 days before the group ends, our agency has the right to require the group member to deposit the corresponding tour fee in cash with the tour guide; if it is later verified as a duplicate payment, our company will immediately refund the excess amount.
3. After confirming receipt of group members' payment, our company will confirm their participation in the tour. Three days before departure, group members will receive a pre-departure notice at the email address provided during registration, containing information such as the guide, itinerary, and pick-up/drop-off points for reference. Due to network delays or spam filtering, group members may not receive the pre-departure notice three days before departure. If this happens, please proactively contact relevant staff for assistance.
4. Our company defaults to same-gender room sharing. When arranging hotel room types based on group members' registration requirements, if single or odd-numbered guests register (such as 3, 5, 7 people, etc.), our company will pair them according to the actual situation. If they do not accept the room-sharing arrangement, they may choose to pay the additional single room supplement. In special circumstances, such as insufficient rooms at certain hotels during peak tourist seasons or other uncontrollable reasons that may cause room type changes, group members must cooperate with our arrangements. If on-site room arrangements do not meet participants' requirements due to incorrect gender or room type information entered during registration, our agency will coordinate and arrange based on the availability of rooms on the day of hotel check-in, and any additional expenses incurred will be borne by the group member.
Note: For guests who do not know each other and share a room arranged by our company, although the arrangement is made by us, we are not responsible for any group member's personality or behavior. If any differences in habits or disputes arise, neither our company nor the tour guide is responsible for mediating or intervening.
5. If a traveler needs to leave the group midway due to special circumstances, they must proactively request this at the time of registration/before joining the tour and sign a "Mid-Tour Departure Statement." For early departure, a reduction of 30 euros will be made for each night not stayed (or 50 euros per night for full-trip single rooms). If no hotel nights are cut, no refund will be given. If a traveler requests to leave the group during the tour, they must proactively inform the tour guide and sign a "Mid-Tour Departure Statement"; fees paid will not be refunded. Travelers must provide truthful information regarding their health, identity, and other details during registration and the itinerary, fill in relevant information honestly, and complete all legal procedures. Expenses and losses arising from personal reasons such as physical discomfort during the trip shall be borne by the traveler. Travelers with special medical histories (for example, those with serious illness, terminal illness, or infectious diseases) must disclose this truthfully at registration. Based on travelers' health conditions or other reasons, our company reserves the right to accept or decline registration.
6. Travelers over 70 years old must be accompanied by a family member and complete a "Group Participation Statement." If there is no family member accompanying them but they insist on registering, our company has the right to refuse acceptance depending on the circumstances. All consequences caused by the traveler's own reasons during the trip shall be borne by the traveler.
7. If a traveler is pregnant, they must truthfully disclose this at registration. Pregnant travelers beyond 24 weeks of pregnancy are generally not recommended to join the tour. If they insist on registering, they must be accompanied by a family member and complete a "Disclaimer"; however, our company has the right to refuse acceptance depending on the circumstances. For pregnancies under 24 weeks, if the traveler insists on registering, they must be accompanied by a family member and complete a "Group Participation Statement"; however, our company has the right to refuse acceptance depending on the circumstances. All consequences caused by the traveler's personal reasons during the trip shall be borne by the traveler.
8. Minors joining the group must be accompanied by at least one adult who fulfills guardianship duties and is responsible for the minor's safety. Any consequences arising from the minor's own conduct or the accompanying person's negligence during the trip shall be borne by the group member.
9. Group members must confirm that all submitted group registration information is accurate and complete, especially personal identification and contact phone numbers. Any consequences resulting from incorrect information provided by group members (for example, inability to cross borders due to an expired ID or a visa type not meeting the entry requirements of the relevant country, or group members being unreachable by the tour guide and other relevant staff due to an incorrect mobile phone number) shall be borne by the group member, including personal return costs, transportation fees, travel expenses and other losses.
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 member books flights or tickets related to the itinerary on their own initiative and the registration ultimately fails, all losses shall be borne by the registrant.
11. If a member falls under any of the following circumstances, the travel agency may terminate the contract (except where 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 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 morality; (4) engaging in activities that seriously affect the rights and interests of other members and refusing to stop after being dissuaded; (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 member in writing or by other means, and may refund the remaining balance to the member after deducting necessary expenses as appropriate.

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

4. Strive to acquire the knowledge needed for travel and improve self-protection awareness. We recommend that group members choose and purchase personal accident insurance for travel and other insurance on their own. During the trip, properly safeguard your belongings; valuables should be carried with you or protected by other measures. Unless group members make specific requests, the travel agency assumes that group members have purchased overseas travel insurance on their own, and is not responsible for consequences arising from customers not purchasing insurance.

Vehicle transportation, entertainment, and other items already include corresponding insurance required by local law, which is not included in overseas travel insurance.)
5. When traveling, pay attention to local weather conditions and ensure children's safety.
6. When travelers 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 traveler personally, and our company bears no liability.
(4) Liability
1. Our company reserves the right to change accommodation locations, travel routes, sightseeing order, attractions visited, and departure dates as circumstances require.

If the itinerary is cancelled, our company will fully refund the fees paid by group members or recommend a similar product as a substitute, and our company bears no liability for cancelling any itinerary.
3. In the event of social unrest, terrorist activities, major infectious disease outbreaks, natural disasters, turmoil, murder, riots, war, or other disasters beyond the company's control that could seriously endanger group members' personal safety, as well as weather, traffic, strikes, or other accidents, the company has the right to cancel or replace any tour item before departure or after departure, and also has the right to shorten or extend the itinerary, but must notify group members in advance. Any additional expenses or losses incurred are unrelated to the company, and group members may not object or withdraw on that basis.
4. Since public security conditions vary from country to country, travelers 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 bears no legal responsibility for such matters.
5. Travelers must carry valid passports, visa pages, residence permits, and other necessary documents at all times.

If this affects the normal itinerary of other travelers, the traveler shall bear corresponding compensation liability.
6.

(5) Overseas Travel Safety Guidelines and Other Precautions
I. Friendly Reminders
1. Some attractions in Europe offer student discounts. Students are advised to bring their student ID cards.
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 have separate child safety seats, parents bringing children under 3 years old may prepare their own. However, one child safety seat can only occupy one bus seat, so it cannot be guaranteed that all self-provided safety seats will be suitable for tour buses. Please take note.
II. Safety Notice
Clothing
1. The weather in Europe is changeable. Be sure to carry rain gear and a thicker 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 for the convenience of returning it if lost luggage is found. If luggage is lost, promptly notify the relevant organizations (such as hotels, airlines, etc.) and report to the police. If it is ultimately not recovered, you must keep the police report to claim from the relevant organizations or insurance company (if insurance was purchased).
Dining
1. Hotel breakfast: Europeans typically eat a simple breakfast, and the breakfast provided by hotels usually consists only of bread, coffee, tea, juice, etc. Hotels arranged by our agency include a buffet breakfast;
2. Carry bottled water and dry snacks and other food with you for emergencies, especially for the elderly and children.
3. Do not drink unclean water, and do not eat unhygienic, odorous, or spoiled food;
4. Do not accept or eat cigarettes, food, or drinks offered 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 medicines provided by others at random.
6. Our company does not provide or arrange alcohol consumption. Travelers who enjoy drinking should strictly control their alcohol intake during the trip. Any responsibility arising from drunkenness, disturbances, disruption of social 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, and their scale is not large. Facilities are relatively old, and the standard is not comparable to similar hotels in China.
② European hotels generally do not provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers. Please prepare your daily necessities.
③ Check whether the supplies provided by the hotel are complete and undamaged. If any items are missing or damaged, please report immediately to the hotel staff or tour guide.
④ For various reasons, such as environmental protection, historical preservation, and Europe's relatively cool climate, many hotels do not have air conditioning.
⑤Italian hotels are relatively old in architecture. Blankets are generally kept in the room's cabinet; if none are found, please contact the front desk to request one.
⑥Guests who need one 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 also common in most parts of Europe.
2. Hotel dining:
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 Since breakfast times differ among European hotels, please be sure to go to the restaurant early according to the time notified by the hotel, to avoid arriving late due to personal reasons and finding insufficient food available.
④ Dining in hotels differs somewhat from China. Breakfast is relatively simple (German breakfast is more substantial, while Italian breakfast is the simplest, consisting only of bread and coffee). Lunch and dinner are also not very lavish, and their quantity and quality differ considerably from domestic standards.
3. Hotel check-in safety reminders:
① Please keep valuables safe yourself 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 replacement in case of loss. Our company is not responsible for any 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, and locate fire-fighting equipment. Learn the hotel's emergency exits, the location of safety stairs, 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 freely. 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 items close to you rather than near windows or other exposed areas.
⑤When group members leave the hotel during their stay, they should inform the tour guide and collect a hotel business card from the hotel front desk. The card shows the hotel address and phone number, which can be shown to others for help if you get lost.
Travel
1. Boarding and disembarking:
① Group members must gather on time and depart on time. Please arrive at the boarding location 15 minutes early. Our tour bus 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 withdrawn, and no refund will be given.
② The departure and arrival times stated on this webpage are estimated times. The specific boarding and alighting locations are subject to confirmation by our company. (If due to traffic or other special circumstances our bus cannot arrive 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: large buses, medium buses, and 9-seat minibuses. Generally, large buses have a dedicated luggage compartment, while the luggage space in medium buses and 9-seat minibuses is relatively small. Given the limited luggage space on buses, it is recommended to carry 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. Drivers are not allowed to park randomly, and violators will face heavy fines. Sometimes the drop-off and pick-up points are some distance from the attractions. Please kindly understand.
2. Bus safety tips:
① Smoking is prohibited in the vehicle.
② Do not carry prohibited items.
③ Do not randomly handle any items in the vehicle to avoid unnecessary damage.
④ During temporary bus stops, follow the tour guide's arrangements and do not wander far away.
⑤ When group members get off the bus for sightseeing, dining, or shopping, please ensure the bus 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 along the way, if a vehicle 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 Precautions
1. Please observe the laws and regulations of each location.
2. Be sure to carry your relevant documents and 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, travelers must assess their personal health and abilities and follow the safety guidelines for the activity, such as wearing life jackets, fastening seat belts, and wearing suitable or designated clothing. Travelers are strongly advised to avoid these activities during free time on the tour; if a traveler insists on participating, they must bear the risks 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 freely or feeding animals in wildlife parks.
7. When touring in areas with poor public security, be especially vigilant and avoid going out alone.
