Special Notes

    【General tips】
    • Passport information must be provided at least 30 days before departure. If domestic flights are involved (flight details will be provided during the tour; no e-tickets will be issued) or if tickets for certain attractions are required, passport information must be submitted. Failure to do so on time may result in service not being guaranteed.
    • Each traveler may carry up to one 30 kg suitcase. If your itinerary includes train travel, please note that train companies typically have a luggage weight limit of 20 kg and a combined length, width, and height not exceeding 250 cm. Any additional charges for overweight or oversized luggage will be directly payable to the train company (policies may vary, so please contact customer service for confirmation).
    • Please print your travel voucher, emergency contact numbers, and hotel list 48 hours before your trip. Prepare all necessary travel documents, including your personal documents—valid passport, visa (if required), and travel and cancellation insurance (if purchased), as well as travel documents—airline tickets, travel voucher, detailed itinerary, hotel list, and any other useful information from the website. Also, verify that all information on your vouchers is correct.
    • We reserve the right to make minor adjustments to the times listed in the detailed itinerary. Under special circumstances (such as malfunctions, delays due to traffic issues, weather conditions, strikes, sports and religious events, gatherings, and other complex situations), we also reserve the right to modify included attractions, alter the tour sequence, and make other changes to the itinerary.
    • The reference hotels listed in the product description are subject to change. Due to last-minute availability changes and our flexibility, we may need to change hotels within a few days before arrival. We appreciate your understanding.
    • Any issues, missed services, or other financial losses resulting from the traveler not appearing at the specified times and locations (at the start of the trip and during the trip) are the sole responsibility of the traveler.
    • Please be aware that the basic travel insurance included has limited coverage. We recommend that all guests purchase additional insurance for more comprehensive protection.
    • Please ensure that seat belts are worn while the coach is in motion. Maintain cleanliness on the coach and refrain from eating and drinking. Do not leave valuable items on the coach; even if the coach is locked, we are not responsible for any loss or theft of items/luggage left on the coach.
    【Guide Tips]】
    • The guided tour service begins with the start of the tour. It is not included during your additional accommodation period, free time, or on trains and other regular transportation that are part of the trip.
    • In many cities, according to local regulations, our tour guides are not allowed to provide commentary outside the bus. Therefore, the guide will give you tour information before you leave the bus, which you can refer to during your free time.
    【Hotel tips】
    • Check-in and check-out times vary by hotel, but in most cases, check-in is typically at 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM. Upon arrival at the hotel, please present your tour notification at the front desk. Check-out time is usually at 10:00 AM.
    • We cannot guarantee that all hotels will offer double rooms with a king-size bed. Some hotels and cruise ships may only provide twin-bed rooms. In some hotels, twin rooms may consist of one large bed and a sofa bed or an extra bed.
    • We cannot guarantee that your extended stay hotel will be the same as the group hotel; the extended stay hotel will be confirmed closer to the time of stay.
    • Hotel breakfasts are usually cold buffets, typically including coffee, juice, bread, butter, jam, pastries, cheese, ham, cereal, and fruit. Some hotels may offer a continental breakfast, which typically includes white coffee, juice, bread, butter/jam, or pastries.
    • Europe experiences significant temperature differences between day and night, and temperatures above 30°C are uncommon for more than two months of the year. Additionally, due to strong environmental awareness in European countries, some hotels do not have air conditioning. This is not due to substandard facilities, so we appreciate your understanding.
    • In many European hotels, standard triple rooms are not available. If you need a triple room, please consult customer service for details.
    • Generally, we arrange for 4- to 5-star hotels in city centers, including breakfast, with convenient access to shopping and transportation (during exhibitions, festivals, and holidays, hotels may be arranged in suburban areas).
  • Depending on your arrival time, your hotel room may not be available until the afternoon. Most hotels allow check-in between 1:00pm-3:00pm, however some charge a fee for early check-in. Please check at the hotel desk to see if you may store your luggage at the hotel if you wish to explore the city on your own before check-in.
  • The time we mentioned in the itinerary is for reference only. Please refer to your guide on tour for the actual arrangement. The visiting order and duration might be changed according to actual and practical situation for better service.
