TOUR CONDITIONS
- Punctuality
The tour starts at 9:30 a.m. Please be punctual out of respect for the other members of the group! Thank you very much.
Walkers are suggested to be there 10 minutes before the tour. In case the walker does not arrive or does not confirm their participation either in the app or on WhatsApp, their place will be occupied by another person, and the tour will begin. Thank you very much 😊 Please confirm either by this means or by WhatsApp.
In case there is no response from the walker to the guide, the reservation will be canceled.
It is suggested to show respect above all because on some tours there have been situations where some walkers arrive in a bad mood, drunk or drugged, or are not interested in the tour and show bad and terrible behavior, and are not educated and become aggressive, since some people believe that because it is 'free' they can do whatever they want,
If you're bringing more guests on the tour, please ask if they can join you, as there is a limit on the number of people on the tour! Thank you very much!
I ASK PEOPLE TO WRITE TO ME HOURS BEFORE THE TOUR TO LET ME KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL COME, SINCE THERE IS A STATED LIMIT. THANK YOU!!!
