Additional Notes

  • Physical Demands: This tour itinerary is very compact and requires a significant amount of walking. It is crucial for the group to arrive at each destination on time to ensure we can proceed to the next location as scheduled. Punctuality is essential to maintain the tour's flow and allow everyone to experience all planned attractions.
  • Wheelchair Accessibility: Due to different bus models, we may not be able to accommodate participants using wheelchairs. Therefore, we regret that we cannot accept wheelchair users to join our tour. (Note: For "private group tours", please inform us before receiving a quote.)
  • Luggage Restrictions: Due to limited luggage space on the coach, each passenger may bring one large and one small piece of luggage (large luggage not exceeding 30kg and 28 inches in size; small luggage not exceeding 20 inches). If passengers carry more than one large and one small piece of luggage (subject to available space), an additional fee of €5 (or £5 for the UK tours) per piece per day will be charged as a handling fee for the driver. Thank you for your understanding.
  • Share Room: We will not charge clients a single supplement if they are willing to share a room with other tour members. However, no complaints or amendments can be made based on this arrangement. This preference must be indicated at the time of booking, and with a minimum of 7 days prior to joining the tour. Once the booking is confirmed, it will not be possible to amend the room choice while on tour. If you insist on changing to a single room, you must pay an additional fee.
  • Photo Usage Rights: Our company reserves the right to publicly display participant's portraits taken during the tour. We will capture activities and moments during the trip for promotional purposes.
  • Tour Participation Conditions: European tours are different from other countries in the world. Most tourist attractions cannot be reached directly by tour buses and require walking tours. If a passenger has limited mobility, they may have to wait on the bus at some attractions and cannot visit with the group. Loss of attractions cannot be used as a reason to request compensation or refunds. Please pay attention and think carefully before joining the tour. Once you have registered and confirmed your participation, it also means that you accept our company's terms and conditions.
  • Boarding and Punctuality: Please present this tour ticket for boarding at the designated assembly point on time. We will not wait for latecomers, and the tour fee will not be refunded. Our company is not responsible for any consequences. In case of emergencies, please call the emergency phone number provided.
  • Travel Documents: Participants are responsible for bringing and carrying valid travel documents (passport), electronic health codes, and visas with a validity period of at least six months from the departure date. In any case or for any reason, if the participant is refused entry by the immigration authorities (customs), our company is not responsible, and any losses incurred are the responsibility of the participant. The tour fee will not be refunded.
  • Valuables and Personal Belongings: Please avoid bringing valuable items and precious jewelry as much as possible. Valuables and documents should be carried with you at all times and kept under your own supervision. Our company, driver, and tour leader are not responsible for any loss.
  • Legal Compliance: Tour members must abide by the laws and regulations of each country, and it is strictly prohibited to carry private goods for profit and illegal items. Smoking is prohibited in all public places and indoor buildings (including hotel rooms) in Europe, with fines of up to thousands of euros, so please abide by the law. In recent years, some famous buildings (attractions) in Europe have banned visitors from sitting on the ground to rest or eat, which is not only considered rude but may also face immediate prosecution.
  • Early Departure or Leaving the Tour: In any case or for personal reasons, if a tour member requests to leave on their own, return individually or leave the tour midway, our company will assist in making arrangements. However, our company will not be responsible for any indirect or direct cost losses incurred due to delays in transportation or other circumstances that result in missing the pre-arranged itinerary or accommodation.
  • Disruptive Behavior: Any tour participant who intentionally obstructs the tour leader's work, endangers the safety of others, or affects the normal activities and interests of the group, the tour leader has the right to cancel their tour qualification, order the participant to leave the group depending on the specific situation or with the consent of the majority of the tour participants. The remaining balance of the unfinished part of the journey will not be refunded, and any actions taken by the participant after leaving the group will not be related to the company.
  • Delays and Itinerary Changes: If the flight or bus is delayed due to a malfunction or traffic congestion, resulting in itinerary changes or canceled programs, tour participants may not use this as an excuse to oppose or withdraw from the tour. In case of bad weather, strikes, or unexpected accidents that cause delays in the itinerary, tour participants may not demand compensation or refund of tour fees.
  • Itinerary Adjustment Notice: We continuously strive to improve our tour itineraries. We reserve the right to make changes to end cities, hotels, or tour order if improvements can be made or if unforeseen circumstances arise. During peak periods, duplicate departures may operate, possibly in reverse order, which may result in different hotels than those listed in the itinerary.
  • Transportation and Accommodation Liability: The tourist transportation and hotels used by our company, such as airplanes, ships, trains, or buses, have various regulations for the safety of participants and issues such as lost luggage, accidents, and property damage. These situations will be handled based on the regulations established by each institution and will not be related to our company. We recommend that participants purchase travel insurance and luggage insurance on their own. For details on how to purchase insurance, please contact the travel agency you registered with or our company directly.
  • European Climate and Hotel Facilities: The temperature difference between day and night in Europe is substantial, the annual average temperature exceeds 30 degrees for less than two months, and European countries have strong environmental protection awareness. Therefore, hotels in Europe may not have standard air conditioning.
  • Tour Group Composition: If the number of participants is small, we reserve the right to combine guests speaking different languages on the same tour bus. This arrangement helps ensure tour viability and may enhance the cultural exchange experience for all participants.

by benice on 2016-01-05

by TakeTours on 2016-01-05
What does the flexible mean? Are we just dropped out at a location and left to wander ourselves or does the bus take us from place to place? And then at the end of the day, are we dropped off at our hotel? How does it work?
by Robert Hsu on 2014-09-12
Thank you for your inquiry. Flexible means you can choose the duration of the tour (at least 2 days). There is an option for you to choose the number of days when you book online. And for the tour, you will get off the bus when you arrive the scenic spots and visit around there. Then you will continue and be back to your hotel after a day visiting. Thanks a lot. Have a good day! Take Tours.

We chose GreenLoop to visit Italy, 4 day flexible trip, which was perfectly matching with planned itineary. After joining the tour, it didn't take much time for us to realize that its a wonderful decision. The bus was very comfortible, guide was so friendly and explaining things very nicely. All our passengers from different parts of the world, mixed cultures and were so friendly, we can never forget the send off they gave us when we finished our part of the trip. Hotel accommodations are very nice with the complimentary breakfast they provided. We loved our vacation and all Italy attractions for which we have to give big credit to this package tours. We dont hesitate to say we will recommend this to our friends.

Good tour if you want to visit maximum places with minimum amount of time. Our tour guide Choung Ho is very knowledgeable. The bus coach and the drivers are top-notch. The Hotels are average, but not too bad.

Joevan 2015-09-29
My two friends and I just took the Green Loop tour last September 18, 2015. It's all worthy because we were able to tour around all the main attractions from the mentioned itinerary. Day 0 - it's not part of the tour but we took pre-hotel arrangement in Paris in the Kyriad Hotel, Saint Maurice. It's about 30 minutes away from the city. The hotel was very posh, nice and beautiful. We toured around Paris on our own. Day 1 - we met our tour guide Chong Ho from the lobby of the hotel together with some of the tourists, then off we went to the meeting point in Place D'Italie to pick up the rest of the tourists. The bus was very comfortable, and Chong was very entertaining. From Place D'Italie, we traveled long hours to reach Lucerne, Switzerland. We had 2 hours in Lucerne, which is enough for the landmark (Lake Chapel) and to do some shopping and taste the famous ice cream. In the evening, we went to Holiday Inn Express in Lucerne. Restaurants and McDonald's are near the hotel. Day 2 - we left around 8:00AM, had a stopover in Uri, Switzerland to take some pictures on the lake, and every two hours, we stopped in gas stations to buy food and use the rest rooms. We reached Milan, Italy on time to spend hours taking pictures on the piazza (cathedral, monument and the mall). We had our lunch here. Good thing Chong informed us about the CORPHETTO (you'll pay service charge on restaurant if you will seat when you dine in). From here we proceed to Verona. We paid an additional 1 Euro for the local bus to go inside Verona to see Romeo and Juliet's house plus some time in the piazza to have some gelato. We spent our evening in Venice at Michaelangelo Hotel (not good hotel and breakfast is worst). Day 3 - we left to the port of venice and transfer to a big boat going to the island of san marco. we roam around, ride the gondola, had the very yummy black spaghetti and go to the Glass/Crystal Factory. we almost spent whole day here. then spent our evening in Barcelo's Aran park Hotel in Rome (lovely and relacing hotel) Day 4 - Our first destination is the Vatican. We were late from our scheduled tour, so spent half of the day inside the Vatican museum, Saint Peter's Basilica, Sistine Chapel. We weren't able to have our lunch, instead just took a snack on our way inside Rome to see the fountain and Pantheon. We then traveled to Florence again onto Michaelangelo Hotel but at least a bit better from the previous one. Day 5 - Some of our co-tourists had some suggestions on the Florence tour, so the group split into two. When we reached Florence, we all first attended the workshop on the leather factory. Once split, the other group customized the tour to go in the factory outlet of leather companies like Gucci and Prada while the other half explored the city. Good thing Chong gave us a map because I chose the city exploration. Then we all met up again after a few hours, proceeded to Pisa, then were on our way to Genoa to spend the evening at AC Hotel Marriott. The night was so young, we all went out and explored Genoa. We all met at Piazza de Ferrari and roamed around to see structures and had our dinner at the marina. Day 6 - we left the hotel and proceed to Monaco to see Prince Albert's castle and some churches where the previous royals are buried. Then we proceeded to Nice where the beach is so lovely and the place is so nice. Our last destination in Cannes to step on the red carpet and see the walk of fame. We then spent the night in Salon de Provence. The hotel was nice, it's like you're in a hacienda. Day 7 - it was all travel going back to Paris, with just some stretching on stopovers. We arrived around 6:00P, so we had a lot of time to roam around Paris. All in all TakeTours is all worthy of the money you'll pay. Hoping to take the red line or blue line in the near future.
I recommend this tour!
