That varies a bit...

Some activities require a printed voucher ... while some have codes you can just download on your smartphone … others don't require any type of voucher at all.

But don’t worry, we’ve got your back on this...

Your EXACT specifications are clearly explained on your voucher, every time.

All experiences have a Free Cancellation Period up to 72 hours before the start of the activity.

There may be a small charge of 2.5% of the purchase for credit card reimbursement charges.

NOTE: Tours that include tickets as PART of the overall price may be refunded minus the price of the tickets, since those are purchased in your name and not transferable.

If you cancel an activity within the “free cancellation period”, you’ll be refunded the same way you paid. (Since refunds are an automatic operation, this cannot be modified in any way for security reasons.)

All activities take place throughout the year, even if it rains.

If the weather conditions are extreme and the organizer cancels the tour, you’ll either be refunded immediately or be able to move the activity to another day.  

We make this as simple as possible for you in every way we can, and problems are rare.

Our online payment system, PayPlug, is 100% secure and encrypted against fraud and unauthorized transactions.  We also accept PayPal.

If you haven’t received a confirmation, the payment didn't go through and your activity hasn't booked yet.

If this is the case...Please go back to your bookings and try again.

But if you've seen that the payment has gone through, maybe the email address was incorrect. (That’s most likely)

If this is the case, please contact us and we'll solve it right away.

Most confirmation emails (vouchers) are sent out immediately once the payment is made.

If you don't receive this email, please check your spam or junk folder.

If you can't find your confirmation there, do this:Check your bank account or PayPal to see if the payment went through. - Maybe the email address was incorrect.

Please contact us and we'll help you solve it as soon as possible.

Your meeting point for every activity is detailed on the voucher, usually with a GPS location, map and photo.

If you need a little more information about this, or can’t find the meeting point on the map… just contact the local organizer, they’ll get you set up.

The phone number is right there in your confirmation email.

If you feel the tour or experience you attended did not meet the description, you are fully-entitled to a 100% refund.

Just send us an email with the tour or experience you attended, the reason you want a full refund, and some constructive feedback.

No hard feelings whatsoever on our part! - We pride ourselves on offering ONLY the best, so we’d LOVE to hear about it so we can make changes if we need to.  Thanks!
