In the event that, before the departure of the trip, the Organizer is forced to significantly modify any essential element of the contract, including the price, it must immediately inform the consumer, either directly, when also acting as retailer, or through the respective retailer in other cases.
  2. In such a case, and unless the parties agree otherwise, the consumer may choose between terminating the contract without any penalty or accepting a modification of the contract specifying the changes introduced and their impact on the price. The consumer must communicate the decision adopted to the Retailer or to the Organizer within three days of being notified of the modification referred to in section a).
  3. In the event that the consumer chooses to terminate the contract, under the provisions of section b), or that the Organizer cancels the combined trip before the agreed departure date, for any reason other than attributable to the consumer, the consumer will be entitled, from the moment the contract is terminated, to reimbursement of all amounts paid, in accordance with it, or to carry out another combined trip of equivalent or superior quality, provided that the Organizer or Retailer can propose it. In the event that the trip offered is of inferior quality, the Organizer or the Retailer must reimburse the consumer, when appropriate, based on the amounts already paid, the difference in price, in accordance with the contract. This same right will correspond to the consumer who does not obtain confirmation of the reservation in the terms stipulated in the contract.
  4. In the above cases, the Organizer and the Retailer will be responsible for paying the consumer the compensation that, where appropriate, corresponds for breach of the contract, which will be 5 percent of the total price of the contracted trip, if the aforementioned breach occurs between two months and fifteen days immediately prior to the planned date of completion of the trip; 10 percent if it occurs between the previous fifteen days and three days, and 25 percent in the event that the aforementioned breach occurs within the previous forty-eight hours.

In the event that, after the departure of the trip, the Organizer does not supply or proves that it cannot supply an important part of the services provided for in the contract, it will adopt the appropriate solutions for the continuation of the organized trip, without any supplement. of price for the consumer, and, where appropriate, will pay the latter the amount of the difference between the benefits provided and those supplied. If the consumer continues the trip with the solutions given by the Organizer, it will be considered that he tacitly accepts said proposals.
  9. If the solutions adopted by the Organizer are unfeasible or the consumer does not accept them for reasonable reasons, the latter must provide the latter, at no additional cost, with a means of transport equivalent to that used on the trip to return to the place of departure or to any other that both have agreed, without prejudice to the compensation that may apply.
  10. In the event of a claim, the retailer or the organizer must act diligently to find adequate solutions.
  11.

  12. If the transfers/assistance from the hotel-airport or vice versa or other similar, included in the offer, are not fulfilled, fundamentally for reasons beyond the transfer agent and not attributable to the Organizer, the Organizer will reimburse the amount of the alternative transport used by the client in displacement, upon presentation of the corresponding receipt or invoice.

TRAVELERS NEEDING SPECIAL ASSITANCE FOR INTERNATIONAL TOURS: Hotels and transportation providers outside of the United States are not required to comply with ADA requirements and therefore may not have ramps, wide entryways or elevators/lifts to accommodate disabled passengers or devices such as wheelchairs, walkers and motorized scooters. Due to physical constraints and space limitations, wheelchairs, walkers and motorized scooters may not be taken aboard motor coaches, river cruises or other forms of transportation.


LUGGAGE: The traveler’s luggage is their own responsibility. Trip2Spain will not be responsible for any loss or damage to the luggage/personal belongings of the traveler. You MUST report any loss or damage immediately at the time of the incident and obtain a written report from the local authority for submission to your insurance provider.


AIRLINE DEPARTURE: We recommend arriving to the airport 3 hours before the departure of the flight. Passengers must reconfirm with this Travel Agency, within 48 hours prior to the scheduled departure, the meeting point, date, time and flight number. If this reconfirmation is not carried out, the Agency declines all responsibility in the event of changes to the information previously provided.


HOTEL: Room selection in all cases, unless otherwise reserved, is strictly at the discretion of the hotel’s management on a run-of-house basis. Special requests such as bed types, smoking preference and connecting rooms are subject to availability. Single and double rooms, allowing a third bed to be enabled in some of the latter, it will always be considered that the use of the third bed is made with the knowledge and consent of the people that occupy the room. Likewise in the cases of double rooms for use by up to four people, with four beds, when specified in the offer of the program/brochure.

As a general rule, and unless expressly agreed otherwise in the contract, the rooms may be used from 2:00 p.m. on the day of arrival and must be vacated before 12:00 p.m. on the day of departure.

When the contracted service does not include the permanent accompaniment of a guide and in the event that the user foresees his arrival at the hotel or apartment reserved on dates or times other than those outlined, it is convenient, to avoid problems and misunderstandings, to communicate with the highest possible anticipation of such a circumstance to the Organizing Agency, or to the hotel or the apartments directly, as the case may be.


ALTERNATIVE TRAVEL SPECIALTY / REMOTE AREAS: Some of our trips run partially through remote areas, with limited or non-existent tourist infrastructure. Traveling through these places requires being flexible and accepting the changes that, in relation to the services provided, may entail said limitations. A certain ability to adapt to the unexpected is also necessary, both positively (a local festival, a market…) or less so (floods, blocked roads, etc.). The traveler must be aware that, in some cases, it may be impossible, for example, a rapid evacuation or adequate medical assistance.


MEALS: As specified in each itinerary, meals are based on the hotel’s or restaurant’s buffet or set menu. In general, beverages are not included, unless specifically stated. Dietary requests should be provided at the time of booking or at least 72 hours prior to departure. We cannot make any guarantees however, we will make every effort to honor special dietary requests.


WEAPONS: Are not permitted on any tour including, but not limited to, firearms, knives, mace, brass knuckles, and other weapons of any type.


HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: Check with your healthcare provider for up-to-date requirements. You may also check the Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov) and/or the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/en/) for their recommendations.
