My parents will join a tour group from six European countries. What should I pay attention to, what should I bring, and what is worth bringing?

1. Please pay attention to personal safety and property safety when traveling abroad. The overall public security in Europe is relatively good, but some countries also have security risks, especially scenic spots, hotel lobbies, department stores, restaurants and other places where tourists gather. Please be sure to be accompanied by a tour guide and pay attention to traveling together. In the process of playing, always pay attention to the safety of your belongings.

2. Please take cash, certificates or valuables with you when you take the means of transportation, and don't put them in the checked baggage; Please take cash, certificates or valuables with you when you leave the hotel and coach. Because the hotel is not responsible for the safety of guests' valuables in the guest room and the driver is not responsible for the safety of passengers' valuables in the car, the insurance company does not underwrite cash.

Travel agency is not responsible for any economic losses (air tickets, passports, money, clothes, etc.). Due to personal negligence, and it is not allowed to delay the group trip.

Overseas laws and customs:

1. European law stipulates that drivers must rest for 20 minutes every two hours, and the driving time should not exceed 9 hours every day, and the rest time should exceed 12 hours;

2. French, Italian and other European governments prohibit smoking in public places! If found, it will be severely punished by the relevant local law enforcement departments, with fines ranging from 500 to 2,000 euros. Please strictly abide by the important laws and regulations of European countries to avoid unnecessary economic losses!

European countries have the habit of tipping, which is one of the international etiquette. If you think the service staff have performed well, you can take the initiative to tip them, which is a recognition and gratitude to the service staff. For example, the tips for baggage handling and hotel cleaning vary according to the region and the nature of the service. You can consult the tour guide first and then judge how much to tip.

Passport cancellation:

1. According to the regulations of the embassy, all guests who apply for visas in travel agencies need to return their passports and boarding passes to the embassy for cancellation when they arrive at the Capital Airport. At that time, someone will collect it from tourists. The travel agency is very grateful to the tourists for their cooperation! At the same time, the passport cancellation time depends on the work progress of the embassy, and the passport cancellation time is different in different peak seasons, usually ranging from 15-30 days;

2. According to the regulations of the embassy, some guests may be informed to go to the embassy for interview and cancellation, which is related to the good record of the embassy for tourists. Please cooperate with them! At the same time, tourists are requested not to book return air tickets or train tickets before being notified by the embassy, so as not to cause unnecessary economic losses to tourists! (Generally, the embassy will notify the travel agency on the day the team returns to China, and the travel agency will call the tour guide, who will tell the tourists). Please be prepared in advance. Visitors are responsible for the transportation expenses incurred by the interview;

Please note that the embassy will check the passport entry stamp of tourists when canceling visas. If it is not available or unclear, it will lead the embassy to ask for an interview at its own expense. Please pay attention to check the passport entry stamp after returning to China for customs clearance. If there are omissions or unclear information, ask them to reissue them in time to avoid unnecessary losses.

Shopping tax rebate:

1. Travel agencies do not specify specific shopping places, and shopping belongs to your personal behavior. Although shopping in developed countries, tourists are also requested to carefully check the quality of products after getting them. If quality problems are found after returning home, it will be more complicated to exchange or return goods. The specific situation is different, whether it can be exchanged or returned depends on the specific situation;

Shopping is a personal behavior. If there is no contract between the store and the customs or airport reasons (the plane is late, the bank is closed, the customs inspection time is tight, etc.), the tax refund cannot be timely. ), the travel agency is not responsible for the tax refund business.

Other matters:

1. Whether to grant a visa and whether to grant exit or entry is the administrative right of the relevant authorities. If a tourist cannot apply for a visa in time due to his own reasons or problems with the materials provided, and is refused a visa by the relevant authorities or is not allowed to enter or leave the country, the relevant responsibilities and expenses shall be borne by the tourist himself;

2. Due to irresistible objective reasons and non-travel agency reasons (such as natural disasters, wars, strikes, government actions, etc.). ) or special circumstances such as airline flight delay or cancellation, the travel agency has the right to change the itinerary, so the increased expenses are borne by the tourists;

3. The unique cultural customs and historical environment of European countries have created churches, squares, fountains and other scenic spots with different styles. Some of these scenic spots are open to the public free of charge, and the tour leader will arrange some scenic spots to visit according to the actual situation; In addition, some scenic spots, such as city hall and parliament building, are not only typical symbols of the city, but also the actual office space of the government. The architectural style is very local. These scenic spots are not allowed to visit, and tourists can take photos to commemorate them.

As the tickets for accommodation, car use and scenic spots in the team trip are packaged and sold by the travel agency as a whole, tourists who fail to go for their own reasons are deemed to have given up automatically, and the travel agency cannot refund the fee;
