IMPORTANT NOTES
Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for visa-required destination/passport) does not mean that entry into the country will be permitted. The passport police have the authority to deny you entry into the country. The agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility lies with the passenger.
The agency is an intermediary between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the Hague Protocol of 28.09.1955.

For panoramic tours, including the other tours specified in the program, if they cannot be carried out on the day and time they coincide with the tour due to local authorities not permitting visits or entry, or due to closed roads because of any event, likewise in cases where it becomes impossible to conduct the tour due to weather conditions, the agency is not responsible for the inability to carry out the aforementioned tours. Some tours may be conducted by public transport or on foot where possible in places with closed roads or where vehicle entry is not permitted.
