【Guide Tips]】

The guided tour service begins with the start of the tour. It is not included during your additional accommodation period, free time, or on trains and other regular transportation that are part of the trip.
In many cities, according to local regulations, our tour guides are not allowed to provide commentary outside the bus. Therefore, the guide will give you tour information before you leave the bus, which you can refer to during your free time.

【Hotel tips】

Check-in and check-out times vary by hotel, but in most cases, check-in is typically at 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM. Upon arrival at the hotel, please present your tour notification at the front desk. Check-out time is usually at 10:00 AM.
We cannot guarantee that all hotels will offer double rooms with a king-size bed. Some hotels and cruise ships may only provide twin-bed rooms. In some hotels, twin rooms may consist of one large bed and a sofa bed or an extra bed.
We cannot guarantee that your extended stay hotel will be the same as the group hotel; the extended stay hotel will be confirmed closer to the time of stay.
Hotel breakfasts are usually cold buffets, typically including coffee, juice, bread, butter, jam, pastries, cheese, ham, cereal, and fruit. Some hotels may offer a continental breakfast, which typically includes white coffee, juice, bread, butter/jam, or pastries.
Europe experiences significant temperature differences between day and night, and temperatures above 30°C are uncommon for more than two months of the year. Additionally, due to strong environmental awareness in European countries, some hotels do not have air conditioning. This is not due to substandard facilities, so we appreciate your understanding.
In many European hotels, standard triple rooms are not available. If you need a triple room, please consult customer service for details.
Generally, we arrange for 4- to 5-star hotels in city centers, including breakfast, with convenient access to shopping and transportation (during exhibitions, festivals, and holidays, hotels may be arranged in suburban areas).

Depending on your arrival time, your hotel room may not be available until the afternoon. Most hotels allow check-in between 1:00pm-3:00pm, however some charge a fee for early check-in. Please check at the hotel desk to see if you may store your luggage at the hotel if you wish to explore the city on your own before check-in.
The time we mentioned in the itinerary is for reference only. Please refer to your guide on tour for the actual arrangement. The visiting order and duration might be changed according to actual and practical situation for better service.
