TOUR CONDITIONS


- Punctuality
The tour starts at 9:30 am. I ask for punctuality since arriving late will delay the tour and the rest of the group.

If you cannot come to the tour on time, it is better to cancel ❌ ❌ in advance so as not to delay the tour.

- No distractions to the group
During the tour we did not enter any shops, craft markets, bars, shopping, ruins, or restaurants.

- Flexible tour payment
If you want to acknowledge my work as a professional and you don't know how much to contribute, at least €10 per person is expected.



ADDITIONAL NOTES

- Outfit
To enter some important religious sites it is suggested to dress appropriately since low-cut tops and shorts are not allowed.

- Inappropriate behavior
Consumption of alcohol, drugs, and even less smoking is not permitted during the tour as it disrupts the development of the tour....

- Respect for the group
It is suggested and I would ask you not to use the phone 📵 while I am giving my explanations since it disrupts the tour (except in emergencies)
