Insurance

We strongly recommend the purchase of travel insurance in order to cover you and your party against the cost of cancellation by you in case of illness or accident; the cost of assistance (including repatriation) in the event of accident or illness; loss of baggage and money; and other expenses.

Adior Tour is currently only authorized to sell travel insurance to Romanian passport holders with a Romanian residential address. In purchasing travel insurance from Adior Tour, clients acknowledge that they are Romanian passport holders with a Romanian residential address and Adior Tour disclaims any and all liability with respect to a client’s false or inaccurate representation relating to same. Failure to disclose relevant information will affect your insurance.

Please note we do not check insurance policies. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.

Guaranteed Departures

All tours operated by us are guaranteed departures and will operate unless force majeure circumstances or other unforeseen circumstances arise. Due to the traveller numbers on a specific tour, we reserve the absolute right to change the type, the date or style of transportation or other elements, to enable the tour to operate.

Fitness to Travel, Age and Medical Conditions

If you have any medical condition, disability or special requirements which may affect your holiday, please tell us before you confirm your booking, as we are able to make enquiries of the supplier about the suitability of arrangements for you and provide replies prior to booking.

Clients are also expected to accept that the components described constitute “Adventure Travel” and that travel to and facilities in other countries will not be to similar standards which they may be accustomed to at home.

Persons over 65 years of age may be asked to provide medical evidence of fitness to travel on certain itineraries. Minors (those under 18 years of age) are accepted on some group tours operated by us at our discretion provided they are accompanied by a parent or guardian who accepts full responsibility for them. Unaccompanied minors will not be accepted. We have recommended ages for participation in group tours which act as a guide only. Adior Tour reserves the right to allow or deny younger travellers onto specific tours at our discretion.

Some itineraries may include a large amount of walking. Walking tours may take up to three hours, and walking to and from hotel and restaurants is unavoidable. The coach may not be used on all days due to driving hours legislations.

Clients agree to accept the authority and decision of our employees, tour leaders, and agents whilst on tour with us. If in the opinion of such a person, the health or conduct of a client before or after departure appears likely to endanger the safety, comfort or enjoyment of a tour, the client may be excluded from all or part of the tour, without any refunds. In the case of ill health, we may make such arrangements as it sees fit and recover the costs from the client.

If a client is excluded from the tour as above or chooses to leave the tour of their own free will or leaves the tour due to ill health or any other reason there will be no refund of the tour price, extra services, surcharges, local payments/funds or any local surcharges. All services forming part of the whole package booked will be forfeited.

Final Travel Arrangements – Passports, Visas and Health

Please ensure that all your travel, passport, visa and insurance documents are in order and that you arrive in plenty of time for checking in at the relevant departure point.

We can provide general information about the passport and visa requirements for your trip, but this is for guidance only and it remains your responsibility to check the requirements before you travel. Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements, are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates prior to travel. Neither we nor the supplier accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements and normal cancellation fees will apply

We can provide general information about any health formalities required for your trip but you should check with your own doctor for your specific circumstances.

Behaviour

Please be aware that the booking conditions of the supplier (ex: hotel) will normally state that your holiday arrangements can be terminated, with no refund, if the behaviour of your party falls below an acceptable standard. Suppliers will also often require you to pay for any damage you cause to the accommodation or other services type (ex: resort, restaurants, museums etc.) We are under no obligation to you if any event such as this occurs. You agree to indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (including all legal costs) made against us by the supplier or any third party as a result of your conduct.

All participants in tours operated by us are expected to obey the laws and regulations of the countries visited and any failure to do so may relieve us of any obligation that they may otherwise have under these booking conditions.

Complaints

Where you have booked a package holiday with us or any other type of booking where we are acting as principal, please inform your Tour Leader about any queries or concerns immediately or contact us via the contact numbers listed on our website. If your complaint is not resolved locally, please follow this up within 14 days of your return home by writing to us giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. It is strongly recommended that you communicate any complaint to the supplier of the services in question without delay whilst on tour. If you fail to follow this procedure, we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were on tour and this may affect your rights under this contract.

Lost Property

Adior Tour and its staff do not accept liability in respect of any loss or damage to articles brought on tour. It is the sole responsibility of all guests to make arrangements for adequate insurance coverage on all valuable items prior to departure. Should any items be left behind at our partner hotels whilst on tour, it is your responsibility to contact the relevant hotel to make arrangements for the items to be returned. Adior Tour will assist where possible in the tracking of lost items. Should the item be found it will be posted to you. You agree to pay the relevant postage fee(s).

Whilst we will do our best to assist, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet your requested change.

Where we can meet a request, most minor changes may be possible without any additional cost. However, some changes may require extra costs and/charges imposed by any of our supplier. You should be aware that these costs may increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible.

Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended after they have been confirmed and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.

Changes Made by Us

It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your Package, but sometimes we do plan the arrangements many months in advance. Occasionally, we may have to make changes and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes will be minor and we will advise you of them at the earliest possible date.

Most alterations will be minor and while we will do our best to notify you of any changes as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure, we will have no other liability to you. Examples of “minor changes” include the following when made before departure:

A change of outward departure and/or arrival time or overall length of your holiday of twelve hours or less.
A change of accommodation to another of the same standard or classification.
Replacing one or more destinations or included experiences with comparable alternatives.
Changing the order of the itinerary (without affecting the destinations and included experiences).

Rarely, we may have to make a major change to your Package. Examples of “major changes” include the following, when made before departure:

A change of accommodation area for the whole or a significant part of your time away.
A change of accommodation to that of a lower standard or classification for the whole or a significant part of your time away.
A change of outward departure time or overall length of your arrangements of twelve or more hours.

If we have to make a major change, we will tell you as soon as possible via email and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of (for major changes):

accepting the changed arrangements;
having a refund of all monies paid; or
accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value).

Accommodation Ratings and Standards

On any of our tours, accommodation is provided in double room accommodation, which may be two single beds or a double bed and a bunk bed.

Two travellers booking together will be accommodated in a double room. Three travellers booking together will be accommodated as follows: two travellers will be roomed in one double room; the third person will be accommodated in a second double room.

Triple rooms can be requested, but cannot be guaranteed in every location in which event the above situation applies. Most hotels have rooms that will take an extra bed if required. These extra beds may be bunk beds, fold-away beds or sofa beds. Where an extra bed is added this may limit the space available.

Single rooms do not always match up either in size or facilities to twin bedded rooms.

Please note that in some properties, lifts may not directly service all floors and access to and from these floors may be by stairway only. Please note that porter services are not standard and not available at many hotels.

Accommodation ratings are displayed as provided by the supplier. These are intended to give a guide to the services and facilities you should expect from your accommodation. Hotel standards and ratings are according to Romania’s standard and may vary between suppliers. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any ratings given and no warranty is given or implied.

Meals

Meals are included as stipulated in the tour itinerary, check your specific tour itinerary for details of which meals are included. Vegetarians can be catered for, so please inform us at the time of booking. Please be aware that in Romania vegetarian meals are classified as meals without meat or fish, and may not be what you are used to. Specific religious dietary requirements can be catered for by providing the vegetarian option. Non-included meals are at your own expense. This allows you the opportunity to try the local cuisine.

There is always an excellent range of restaurants and supermarkets to choose from in each destination. You will also need to purchase drinks and snacks for long bus or coach journeys as there may not be the opportunity once on board.

Check-in & Check-out

Generally hotel rooms will be available for check in between 12.00 noon and 15.00 with check out between 10.00 and 12.00 noon. Please note that our itineraries often require that we deviate from these times in order to stay on schedule.

Air Transportation

Adior Tour will not accept any responsibility for mistakes or errors in airfare bookings made by independent third parties. It is up to the traveler to ensure the correct arrival and departure flight information from the tour start and end cities. The independent agent will arrange the best-priced airfare available in the class category you request at the time of your booking. Please note that certain airfares are subject to a service fee. Should you cancel or change your air reservation before or after your departure, cancellation penalties may apply.

Airlines concerned are not to be held responsible for any act, omission or event during the time passengers are not on board their planes or conveyances. These programs may use the services of any IATA carrier. International air carriers are subject to international air conventions limiting their liability. The limitations of liability are contained on the reverse side of the airline ticket and form part of the terms and conditions of this package. The passage contract in use by these companies, when issued, shall constitute the sole contract between the companies and the purchaser of these travel programs and/or passage.
