CONDITIONS OF CANCELLATION
In order to ensure that your discovery tour in my company will be as successful as possible for both sides, I ask you to observe the following rules:
The agreed date for the tour is exclusively reserved for you. It may, of course, be the case that something happens and you are unable to participate in your tour:
- If I receive the corresponding cancellation, in writing, no later than 14 days before the engagement, no cancellation fees will be charged.
- If cancellation is received between 14 and 3 days before the engagement, 50% of the applicable tourist guide fees will be charged.
- If cancellation is received less than 72 hours before the agreed engagement, or if on the day of your tour you do not show up without prior cancellation, I take the liberty of billing the full (100%) tourist guide fee applicable.
Please note that the day of cancellation and the agreed day of the tour are included in the time calculations mentioned above.
All cancellation fees are flat-rate penalties and must be paid regardless of fault or any damages incurred. Furthermore, applicable cancellation fees must be paid separately for each cancelled tour.
COME RAIN OR SHINE - ANYTIME !
Bad weather is no reason for cancellation!
The tours take place throughout the year come rain or shine, heatwave or snowstorm. I don’t like to freeze, get drenched or melt either, so be assured that I’m always prepared to adjust the tours for your comfort (as well as my own!), whether it’s ducking into the historic covered passages to escape the rain, an unexpected stop for ice cream, or warming our hands and tummies with a mug of Glühwein!
DELAY
You’ve missed the subway by the skin of your teeth, you’ve got stuck in a traffic jam or are unable to find a parking space?
In the case of delays, I willingly wait for ½ an hour (30 minutes) at the agreed meeting point. I would VERY much appreciate a short message (call or text message: Mobile phone 0043/699/10754894).
I always strive to be at the meeting point a few minutes before the agreed time. However, should it be the case that I am for some reason slightly delayed, I kindly ask you to wait 15 minutes. If you provide me with your mobile telephone number, I will of course, inform you of my delay (by text message).
Waiting times will be included in the duration of the tour.
IMPEDIMENT
In the unlikely event that, contrary to expectation, I cannot fulfil my contract with you, I will organize a suitable equivalent, authorized substitute tour guide in accordance with the agreed terms. Should such a situation occur, you will be contacted (by SMS/text message) as early as possible.
PAYMENT
- Payment in cash: immediately after the tour, without deduction. An acknowledgement of payment will be provided.
- Payment via bank transfer: within 10 days after the issuance of the invoice, without deduction. An invoice with all bank details will be provided, either at the end of the tour or by mail.
Cheques or credit cards are not accepted!
For late payments, a default interest rate of 1% per month (12% per year) will be charged.
Jurisdiction location is Vienna.
NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS
The organized itinerary depends on the size of the group. The smaller the group, the more personal and rewarding the tour will be for everyone!
I recommend:
- guided bicycle tours should comprise of a maximum of ~15 participants
- guided walking tours should comprise of a maximum of ~20 participants
For larger groups, upon demand, I will happily arrange the assistance of qualified colleagues as necessary (at the same terms and conditions mentioned above).
HOW DO YOU RECOGNIZE ME?
My identification marks are a bright red backpack (my mobile office), a bright red booklet folder (containing lots of historic graphical material about the city) and above all the “Austria Guides-badge” (the visible, highly official, Austrian Sign for the “License to Guide”).
