Tour Information
To best protect your interests, please read carefully the Registration Notice and Liability Rules of this company. The Registration Notice and Liability Rules of this company are important matters notified to outbound tour group members, and together with this company's Safety Notice for Overseas Travel and Other Precautions, form part of the travel contract. Our company reserves all rights of interpretation of the content of this website.
(1) Registration Procedures and Notes
By registering 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 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 fill in the registration order on the webpage. Please carefully fill in and verify all information, including name, gender, ID number, contact details, required room type, and pick-up/drop-off points. The company is not responsible for any losses arising from incorrect registration information entered by individuals. After successful submission, the company will send you an order confirmation. Since tour bus seats are limited, the company will give priority to boarding based on payment receipt. Ultimately, our company will arrange vehicles according to group size, ensuring one seat per person. Please arrange payment within the valid order time after verifying the information. Those who fail to pay the full tour fee by the deadline will be automatically considered to have withdrawn from the group, and our company has the right to cancel your order without further notice.
2. Group members must ensure that the full 100% of the tour fee is paid within the order retention period, provided the group is confirmed to depart. 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 complete payment promptly. Otherwise, our agency has the right to retain or cancel such orders as circumstances warrant without prior consent from the registrant. Any handling fees incurred regardless of payment method are borne by the payer. After payment, please send the payment proof (bank counter remittance slip or screenshot of successful online transfer confirmation) to us by email or fax, and be sure to note the corresponding order number on the proof; otherwise, the finance team cannot match the payment to the order. If, due to late payment, the tour fee has still not arrived 2 days before the group ends, our agency has the right to require the member to deposit the corresponding tour fee in cash with the tour guide. If later verified as a duplicate payment, we will immediately refund the excess amount.
3. After our company confirms receipt of the group member's payment, we will confirm the member's participation in the tour. Three days before departure, group members will receive a departure notice at the email address provided during registration, containing information such as the tour guide, itinerary, and pick-up and drop-off points for reference. Due to network delays or spam filtering, group members may not receive the departure notice three days before departure. If this happens, please proactively contact the relevant staff for assistance.
4. Our company defaults to same-gender room sharing. When arranging hotel room types according to group members' requirements at registration, if single or odd-numbered guests register (such as 3, 5, 7 people), we will arrange room sharing according to actual circumstances. If you do not agree to room sharing arrangements, you 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 that may cause room type changes, group members must cooperate with our arrangements. If on-site room arrangements do not meet the requirements of travelers due to errors in gender or room type requirements entered during registration, we 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: Travelers who do not know each other and share a room are arranged by our company, but the personal conduct and behavior of group members are unrelated to our company. Our company and the tour guide bear no responsibility for coordinating or intervening in any differences in habits or disputes that may arise.
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/before joining the group and sign a "Mid-Trip Withdrawal Statement." For early departure, a deduction of 30 euros per unused night will apply (or 50 euros per unused night for full-itinerary single room bookings). If no hotel nights are unused, no group fee refund will be given. If a group member requests to leave the group midway through the trip, they must inform the tour guide proactively and sign the "Mid-Trip Withdrawal 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 materials accurately, and complete lawful 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 illness, terminal illness or infectious diseases) must disclose this truthfully at the time of registration. In view of travelers' health conditions or other reasons, our company reserves the right to decide whether to accept a booking.
6. Travelers aged 70 and above must sign up with one family member accompanying them and fill out the "Group Participation Declaration". If a traveler has no family member accompanying them but insists on joining the group, our company has the right to refuse acceptance depending on the situation. All consequences caused by a group member's own reasons during the trip shall be borne by the group member.
7. If a traveler is pregnant, this must be truthfully declared at the time of registration. For pregnancies beyond 24 weeks, joining the tour is generally not recommended; if the traveler insists on joining, one family member must accompany them and sign a Disclaimer, although our company reserves the right to refuse acceptance depending on the circumstances. For pregnancies under 24 weeks where the traveler insists on joining, one family member must accompany them and sign a Tour Participation Statement, although our company reserves the right to refuse acceptance depending on the circumstances. All consequences caused by 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 responsibility for their safety. Any consequences arising during the trip due to the minor member's own reasons or the accompanying person's negligence in supervision shall be borne by the group member.
9. Group members must confirm that all participation information provided is accurate and correct, with personal identification information and contact phone numbers being especially important. Any consequences arising from incorrect information provided by group members (for example: inability to cross borders due to expired personal documents or visa types not complying with the entry tourism regulations of the relevant country; inability of the guide and other relevant staff to contact participants due to an incorrect mobile phone number provided by the participant, etc.) shall be borne by the participants themselves, including personal return costs, transportation fees, travel expenses and other losses.
10. Travelers must not book any flights or train/bus tickets related to the itinerary on their own before the order is confirmed and the group booking is accepted. If a traveler books flights or tickets related to the itinerary on their own accord and the registration ultimately fails, all losses shall be borne by the registrant.
11. Under any of the following circumstances, the travel agency may terminate the contract (unless otherwise provided by relevant laws and administrative regulations): (1) the traveler has an infectious disease or other illness that may endanger the health and safety of other travelers; (2) the traveler carries items that endanger public safety and refuses to hand them over to the relevant authorities; (3) the traveler engages in illegal activities or activities that violate public morals; (4) the traveler engages in activities that seriously affect the rights and interests of other parties and refuses to stop after being advised; (5) other circumstances affecting the performance of the contract as stipulated by law.

(5) Overseas Travel Safety Guidelines and Other Notes
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 appropriate plug adapters.
3. For safety reasons, European coach companies 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 on the tour may prepare their own, but one child safety seat may occupy only one bus seat. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that all child safety seats brought by families will be suitable for tour coaches, so please take note.
II. Safety Notice
Clothing
1. The weather in Europe is changeable; please be sure to carry rain gear and a fairly thick jacket with you.
2. Please take good care of your personal belongings and luggage; the company is not responsible for loss, theft, or other incidents.
3. Clearly write your name and contact details on your luggage for identification, and to facilitate return if the luggage is found after being lost. If lost luggage is found, notify the relevant institutions (such as hotels, airlines, etc.) and the police as soon as possible. If the luggage is ultimately not recovered, keep the police report to claim compensation from the relevant institutions or insurance company (if insurance was purchased).
Food
1. Hotel breakfast: In Europe, breakfast is typically simple. Hotel breakfasts usually consist of bread, coffee, tea, juice, etc. All hotels arranged by our company include a buffet breakfast;
2. Carry bottled water, dry food, and other provisions with you in case of need, especially for the elderly and children.
3. Do not drink unclean water, and do not eat unsanitary food or food that smells 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 environment 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 agency 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 brawls, disruption of social order, infringement of others or causing financial losses to third parties shall be borne by the person causing the incident.
Accommodation
1. Hotel facilities:
① European cities are relatively small, the number of hotels in city centers is extremely limited, and the hotels are not large. Their facilities are rather old, and they do not match the standard of comparable hotels in China.
② Toothbrushes, toothpaste, and slippers are not provided in European hotels. Please prepare 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 the hotel staff or your tour guide.
④ For various reasons, such as environmental protection, long history, and Europe's relatively cool climate, many hotels do not have air conditioning.
⑤ Italian hotel buildings are relatively old. Blankets are generally kept in the wardrobe in the room. If there are none, please contact the front desk to request more.
⑥ If needed, guests should bring their own small travel hair dryer.
The German-style double bed usually consists of one large bed with two bed sets, regardless of whether guests need one large bed or two single beds. This bed type also suits most European regions.
2. Hotel dining:
① Hot drinking water is not provided in hotel rooms in Europe.
② Please cherish food, do not waste it, and do not take it away.
③ Since breakfast hours differ among European hotels, please be sure to arrive at the restaurant early, as stated in the hotel's notice, to avoid arriving late for personal reasons and finding insufficient food available.
④ Hotel meals differ somewhat from those in China. Breakfast is relatively simple (German breakfasts are more substantial, while Italian breakfast is the simplest, consisting only of bread and coffee), and lunch and dinner are also not very lavish. Their quantity and quality differ considerably from domestic standards.
3. Hotel check-in safety tips:
① Please take proper care of your valuables yourself and do not leave them in the hotel room. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash or expensive watches or jewelry. Keep your travel documents and belongings safe, and carry one 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. Any hotel fines resulting from this will be paid by the person responsible.
③ After checking into the hotel, please review the hotel's safety instructions, check whether the room windows can be opened, locate the fire-fighting equipment, and familiarize yourself with the hotel's emergency exits, the location of safety staircases, and evacuation routes.
④ Do not tell strangers where you are staying or your room details, do not let strangers or people claiming to be hotel maintenance staff enter your room casually, lock the door whenever you leave or enter, check that the door and windows are closed and the deadbolt is engaged 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 take 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 All tour 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 who fail to join midway, will be deemed to have voluntarily forfeited the trip, and no refund will be given.
② The departure and arrival 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 coach from arriving at the boarding location on time, or if the time or location changes temporarily, our company will notify you promptly. Please be patient and wait).
③ Coaches come in three types: large coaches, mid-size coaches, and 9-seat minibuses. Large coaches generally have a dedicated luggage compartment, while the luggage space in mid-size coaches and 9-seat minibuses is relatively small. Given the limited luggage space on buses, we recommend bringing 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, in most European cities coach parking areas are located far from the sites, and drivers are not allowed to park randomly; violators will be heavily fined. Sometimes the pick-up and drop-off points are some distance from the attractions. We kindly ask all group members for their understanding.
2. Bus safety reminders:
① Smoking is prohibited inside the vehicle.
② Do not carry prohibited items.
③ Do not handle any items on the bus at will, to avoid unnecessary damage.
④ During temporary stops of the coach, follow the tour guide's arrangements and do not wander away.
⑤ When group members get off the coach for sightseeing, meals, 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.
⑥ Because the journey is very long and the coach carries a heavy load, if the coach breaks down and affects the itinerary, the travel agency will quickly take remedial measures. Group members are asked to cooperate actively.
III. Other Notes and Precautions
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 group leader/tour 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 follow the relevant safety guidelines for the activity, such as wearing life jackets, fastening seat belts, and wearing suitable or designated clothing. Group members are kindly requested to avoid participating in these activities during free time on the trip as much as possible. If group members insist on participating, they shall bear the risks themselves.
5. Do not take part in entertainment activities suspected of being illegal.
6. Pay attention to and heed all warnings, such as not wandering around or feeding animals at will inside wildlife parks.
7. When touring in areas with poor public security, extra caution should be exercised and traveling alone should be avoided.
