  • Names, dates, pick-up details, and special requests must be accurate; changes are subject to availability.
  • Open Trip requires a minimum number of participants; if not met, we will offer reschedule or upgrade to private with a price adjustment.

  • Accepted methods: bank transfer, card, or e-wallet where available. All bank/processing fees are borne by the payer.
