6.1. Daily Tours and Transfers

Refunds may be possible for cancellations made within a certain period before the service date. However, no refund may be made in case of last-minute cancellations, late arrival, no-show or incorrect information provided by the customer.

As a general practice:

  • Cancellations made 72 hours or more before the service may be eligible for a full or partial refund.

  • Cancellations made between 24 and 72 hours before the service may be subject to deductions based on supplier and operational costs.

Hotels, vehicles, guides, domestic flights, museum entrances, special activities or third-party services may have been pre-booked as part of the package tour. Therefore, in case of cancellation, non-refundable supplier costs, tickets, accommodation fees, operational expenses or service-specific deductions may apply.

The customer’s right to withdraw from the package tour contract, request changes or claim a refund is reserved within the framework of applicable consumer legislation and package tour contract provisions.

Cancellation and refund conditions for hot air balloon flights, yacht tours, special events, private guiding, private vehicles, flight tickets, train tickets or similar third-party services are subject to the rules of the relevant supplier.

If the flight is cancelled by the authorized authority or operator, an alternative date may be offered where possible. If the alternative date is not suitable, a refund will be made according to the relevant supplier’s policy.

No refund may be made if the customer voluntarily does not participate in the flight or activity, arrives late or provides incorrect information.


6.4. Accommodation Services

Cancellation and refund conditions for accommodation services are determined according to the hotel’s own policy. Non-refundable, early booking, promotional or special-period accommodation reservations may not be refundable.


6.5. Museum and Site Entrance Fees

If museum, archaeological site, event, show or special entrance tickets have been purchased in advance, they are subject to the refund policy of the relevant institution or supplier. Some tickets may be non-refundable.


7. Change Requests

The customer may request changes to the booking date, number of participants, service content or pick-up point. Change requests are subject to availability and supplier conditions.

Any price difference, additional transfer, additional guiding, hotel difference, ticket difference or operational cost arising from a change request will be charged to the customer.

Cielo Tours will make reasonable efforts to accommodate each change request; however, it does not guarantee that all change requests will be accepted.


8. Changes Made by Cielo Tours

Cielo Tours reserves the right to change the program flow due to weather conditions, road conditions, safety, official permissions, museum closures, traffic, flight changes, supplier-related disruptions or force majeure events.

In such cases, Cielo Tours will try to provide an alternative service of the same or similar quality whenever possible. The order of the program may change; however, the main service content will be preserved as much as possible.

Cielo Tours may change the route, time, order of visits or supplier in order to provide the customer with a safer, more feasible or higher-quality service.


9. Force Majeure

Natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, epidemics, war, terrorism, strikes, official restrictions, flight cancellations, road closures, state of emergency, decisions of public authorities, technical failures or similar events beyond the control of Cielo Tours shall be considered force majeure.

If the service cannot be fully or partially provided due to force majeure, Cielo Tours may offer the customer an alternative date, alternative service or refund options subject to supplier conditions.

In force majeure situations, Cielo Tours cannot be held responsible for damages, delays, additional expenses or service losses arising beyond its control.

Cielo Tours recommends that all guests obtain travel health insurance and travel cancellation insurance.

Travel insurance is not included in the service price unless expressly stated otherwise.


13. Third-Party Service Providers

Some services may be provided by hotels, balloon companies, yacht operators, transfer companies, restaurants, museum operators, airlines or other third-party suppliers.

Cielo Tours may act as an intermediary or organizer in the reservation of these services. The own rules, safety procedures, cancellation and refund policies of third-party service providers may apply.
