Some trips may be unsuitable for clients due to age, mobility, pregnancy, physical or mental conditions or the lack of the necessary (described) experience in case of adventure or climbing tours. It is the client’s responsibility to check this prior to booking. The travel agency is not obliged to provide adapted, special facilities unless it has agreed to a written request. The travel agency will do its best to comply with special requests including dietary requirements, but such requests are not part of the contract and the travel agency is not liable for any consequences of the condition for the travel (parts).
