Only the person responsible for deposits and payments have to fill out this contract. The person filling out this contract assumes responsibility that all information submitted to us on behalf of the travelers in his/her party  are accurate.



Please note that some of our tours involve a great deal of walking with city walking tours and museum tours lasting up to 3 hours. In some parts of Italy and France, many of the cities, towns or hill towns have cobbled streets and some are very steep. To insure your touring experience is enjoyable, it is important for us to know your physical condition and mobility issues, ability to keep up with the group.  Since this is a private tour for your group, your group can request to slow down the pace of the tour or shorten the tour as needed.



TRAVEL INSURANCE

We highly recommend you purchase travel insurance.  Insurance must be purchased immediately after you make a deposit on any tours or immediately after the purchase of airline tickets or you risk your pre-existing condition being excluded from the policy. Consult the travel insurance company before purchasing.

CONTRACT - TERMS & CONDITIONS

   PLEASE PLAN CAREFULLY. PLEASE DISCUSS THE DETAILS OF THIS CONTRACT WITH US, IF UNCLEAR.

NOTE ABOUT TRANSFERS/TRANSPORTATION:   European Standards set by local operators for luggage allowance are: (1) big suitcase + (1) carry-on bag per person.  Our vans will hold the standard luggage allowance.  If your party has more luggage than the standard allowance, please advise us ahead of time; as an additional vehicle + charge may be required.  Or, you may choose to hire a taxi to handle the luggage overflow.

Our drivers cannot wait for you more than 1 ½ hour from your flight arrival time.  Unfortunately, they usually have other bookings they must attend to.  If you encounter delays and manage to call the driver or the LOCAL emergency number, our drivers may be able to wait longer but this cannot be guaranteed. 

You may encounter flight delays, delays while in Customs, or delayed train arrival. What do you do in the unlikely event you missed the transfer you booked?   Exit the airport or train station terminal and look for the taxi stand right outside the terminal. If you miss the scheduled transfer, proceed to the taxi stand and queue up. Remember to ALWAYS go to the taxi stand to find a taxi.

We highly recommend purchasing Travel Insurance.  Protect your investment from unforeseen or unscheduled trip cancellations and also have the necessary medical coverage while abroad.  (Travel Insurance should be purchased immediately after you make a deposit or payment on any tours/payment including airline tickets. See the Travel Insurance section of our website: www.wellarrangedtravel.com.  We listed a few of the biggest insurance companies and their telephone numbers.) 

NOTE:  Payment in full is required for all packages purchased less than 60 days before the first service date.
