If the tour is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, it is considered NO SHOW.

If it is cancelled more than 24 hours in advance, it is considered CANCELLED and you will not be paid for any services.

In case you have already incurred in any expenses, (purchase of tickets, car rental, etc) you will be paid for those expenses and we will ask you to reassign those tickets whenever possible to a new date in order not to lose them.

We consider a NO SHOW when the guest does not show up for the tour or when he/she decides to cancel the tour with less than 24 hours notice. There are exceptions to the rule but whenever possible this policy will be respected.

After 30 minutes of waiting at the meeting point without any contact from the Guests we consider the tour a NO SHOW.

You will be paid for the full amount of the hours plus any expenses incurred up to the time of the NO SHOW. We will also ask you to reassign tickets where it is possible to do so to a new date.

The automatic messages are presentation templates in which the guide introduces himself to the Guest and provides contact information and guidelines for each tour, for example for Tours that include food, we ask for preferences or food intolerances. Or in the case of Sagrada Familia in Barcelona whose audio guide is an app, we request that guests bring their mobile devices charged and headphones for the experience. These messages are the product of a thorough study of each tour, although you can add whatever you want once you have established contact with the Guest.

The PICK-UP service, when not stipulated within the tour, is something to be arranged between Guides and Guests without intermediaries and paid in cash or PayPal on the day of the tour.

The amount will depend on the expenses and the time that this service means for the Guide, an average price is between 30€ and 40€, but this is only a suggested price. We recommend charging this service at the time of the meeting and not at the end of the tour because it may affect the Tip received.

You can rearrange the itinerary or propose a change of start time to the Guest, if this would mean extra transfer costs, please let us know before making a decision.
