RULES DURING THE TRANSPORTATION
The meeting point for our tours in Corfu is at Douglas Column in Corfu Town.
The client should be at the departure point at least 10 minutes before the tour starting time.
On each trip, there is a trip attendant who ensures the smooth running of the tour and compliance with the program. The entrance in the coach is guaranteed by showing the printed ticket, on a mobile phone, or with the reservation number. The organiser reserves the right to ask the traveller to provide other identification when the organiser considers it necessary for safety reasons, for the other passengers' protection and for the traveller.
The client is not allowed to bring their suitcase or luggage on the trip unless it is requested via telephone or e-mail and confirmation is received from our Company. In this case, the luggage is carried under the client’s full responsibility.
Smoking, drinking and eating inside the coach are not permitted.
Clients are requested to wear dry clothes during the bus transit. If the tour has stops at beach areas, the clients will be requested to change their swimming suits to regular dry clothes before returning to the vehicle. Access to the vehicle may not be allowed if they don’t accomplish this regulation.
The client is expected to have good behaviour and respect the other passengers, the driver and the trip attendant. Passengers accompanying children are responsible for their good behaviour. Unnecessary contentious behaviour cannot be accepted.
Customers in a state of drunkenness, or showing a lack of respect for the rest of the customers, the driver and the trip attendant or with behaviour that sets to risk the smooth running of the excursion or the safety of the rest, will not be allowed to enter the bus.
Clients who miss the bus and do not participate in the excursion due to delay, negligence, or incorrect timing on their fault, are entitled either to transfer the activity on a future date or change it with a different one paying the price difference if the new one has a higher rate. If the new trip is cheaper, the client is not entitled to a refund of the price difference. In any case, all the above is valid upon availability.
The coach drivers must comply with a strict law regarding the acceptable hours of driving, the scheduled break during long distances and the total hours of driving in 24 24-hour periods. In case of intense traffic jams, roadwork or other force majeure reasons, the drop-off points are subject to modification for the proper compliance of the law.
