  • For large buses (45–49 seats), the front two seats are reserved as priority seating. If there are pregnant guests or passengers prone to motion sickness, please inform us in advance and leave a note in your booking (subject to reconfirmation).
  • Due to limited luggage space, only one suitcase per person is allowed on board. If you have more than one, please indicate this in the remarks section. Thank you for your cooperation.
  • Different vehicles and tour guides may serve you during different parts of the tour. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
  • During the actual trip, without reducing any attractions and with guest consent, the tour guide and driver may adjust the itinerary (e.g., change the visiting order of attractions) based on weather, traffic, or other conditions to ensure a smooth journey. In case of force majeure making it impossible to follow the original plan, any resulting changes in cost will be settled accordingly—refunds for reductions and surcharges for additions. We appreciate your cooperation.
  • If unforeseen circumstances prevent certain attractions from being visited, the guide may cancel or replace the attraction after consulting with guests. In such cases, refunds will be made based on the ticket price listed in the product, not the gate price. Thank you for your understanding.
  • Complimentary items or activities are subject to availability based on weather, capacity limits, or other operational reasons. Guests may choose whether or not to participate.
  • Due to seasonal factors, we reserve the right to adjust the apartment/hotel arrangements.
