Notes
BAGGAGE: One medium-size baggage (max. 23 kg) per person is allowed. Due to limited storage room, we cannot assure you can bring along extra baggage. When extra storage room is available, a fee of $7 will be applied to any extra luggage, to be paid to the courier at the beginning of the tour. Note, however, that we cannot know in advance whether any extra storage room will be available or not. Due to security reasons, you cannot deposit your extra baggage at the first hotel of the tour.
ROOMS: rooms only have one or two beds. “Triple”, “quadruple”, “family” room refers to the number of the guests, who will sleep in the beds provided (max. 2). The possibility of adding a rollaway bed – even if requested at the time of reservation – is subject to availability, with a supplement to be paid on site. Likewise, special requests for double or separate beds; adjoining, high-floor, low-floor rooms etc. are always upon request and these services can never be considered as granted.
DISABLED PEOPLE: disabled travellers can take part to the tour as long as they are self-sufficient. This is because means of transport are not equipped with a wheelchair platform; in addiction, due to insurance and security reasons, neither the guide nor the driver are allowed to help passengers getting on board. Disabled passengers must thus travel with an assistant of their own, to provide them all the help they might need during the tour. All bookings are on request.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: before the start of the tour, all the participants must make sure they possess the required documents to enter the destination countries, and that such documents are comprehensive and valid.
