STEP 1 | Check Tour Details & Terms

Please check the details on each tour page and the Terms & Conditions listed in the footer.

STEP 2 | Web Application (Provisional Request)

Please apply via the Booking Form. At this stage, the travel contract has not yet been concluded (Provisional Request).

STEP 3 | Confirmation & Payment Link

We will check availability. Once confirmed, we will email you the finalized tour details (date, number of people, price) and payment instructions (online payment link).

STEP 4 | Payment (Online Settlement)

Please pay via the link provided (Stripe [Credit Card] or PayPal).
*We do not store or view your credit card information; it is processed securely by the payment service.

*About Payment Amount:
For day trips, full advance payment is required in principle. For multi-day tours or custom-ordered tours, payment of a deposit (application fee) is required to conclude the contract. Please check the details on each tour page or the payment instructions sent to you.

STEP 5 | Contract Conclusion & Final Itinerary

The travel contract is concluded (Reservation Confirmed) when we accept your booking and confirm receipt of the tour fee (or deposit).
We will also send you a "Final Itinerary" via email, including the meeting place, time, and important notes for the day.
