IMPORTANT NOTES
Having a valid passport and/or a visa (for a visa-required destination/passport) does not mean that entry to the country will be granted. The passport police has the authority to deny you entry into the country. The agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.
The agency is an intermediary institution between the airline and the passenger, and is subject to the Hague Protocol dated 28.09.1955. On scheduled and special flights, there may be a risk of delay or the times of the current trip and flight may change before departure. The agency is obliged to inform you of these changes as soon as possible. Our passengers have purchased the tour knowing and accepting that flight details may change. Children aged 0-2 do not pay airport tax and airport service fees.
The panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours organized for the general introduction of the cities, lasting at most 2-3 hours, and carried out panoramically with commentary by the guide from inside the vehicle, without museum or archaeological site entrance fees. Panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, are not the responsibility of the agency if they cannot be carried out on the day and time corresponding to the tour because local authorities do not allow visits or entry, or due to closed roads because of any event, or if the tour becomes impossible due to weather conditions. Some tours may be carried out by public transportation or on foot where possible in areas with closed roads or where vehicle entry is not allowed.
