Question 1

What's the total cost and what does the $5,429 include?

Accepted Answer

$5,429 per person on twin-share basis covers 8 nights (first class hotels), 8 breakfasts | 1 lunch | 3 dinners, air-conditioned coach + tgv train, English-speaking tour director, and 12 included experiences. Flights, visa fees, travel insurance, and optional excursions are not included.

Question 2

How do I book and what deposit do I need to pay?

Accepted Answer

You can reserve your spot with a 25% deposit (approximately $1,350) via Stripe directly from this page, or message us on WhatsApp to book. The remaining balance is due 60 days before departure.

Question 3

Can I get a refund if my plans change?

Accepted Answer

Refund eligibility depends on how close to departure you cancel. Cancellations more than 90 days out: full refund minus deposit. 60-90 days: 50% refund. Inside 60 days: typically non-refundable, which is why we strongly recommend travel insurance for every booking.

Question 4

I'm vegetarian / vegan / Jain / halal / have allergies. Can you accommodate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on every single departure. Tell our concierge your dietary requirements when you book and we coordinate vegetarian, vegan, Jain, halal, gluten-free, and allergy-aware meals at every hotel and included restaurant on the route.

Question 5

Do I need a visa? Do you help with the application?

Accepted Answer

Most travelers will need a Schengen visa for this tour. We provide visa support letters, hotel confirmations, and a documented day-by-day itinerary at no extra cost — you handle the actual application at your nearest embassy or VFS center. Allow 4-6 weeks before departure for processing.

Question 6

What if my flight arrives a day before or I want to extend after the tour?

Accepted Answer

We can pre-book additional nights at the start hotel or recommend post-tour stays at any city on the route — just tell us your arrival/departure plans when you book. Pre/post-tour nights are charged at the hotel's contract rate, usually significantly less than booking direct.

Question 7

Is travel insurance included? Do you sell it?

Accepted Answer

Travel insurance is not included and we don't sell it directly, but we can recommend India and EU-based providers we trust. We strongly recommend comprehensive cover including trip cancellation, medical, baggage, and Schengen-area medical evacuation.

Question 8

What's the average group size?

Accepted Answer

Most departures run with 25-40 travelers led by a single tour director, plus a local guide in each city. Solo travelers can request a guaranteed roommate share or pay a single supplement. Family-sized private departures are also available on request.

Question 9

How much spending money should I budget?

Accepted Answer

For a 9-day trip we typically suggest $540-$900 per person for lunches not included, optional excursions, souvenirs, and tipping. Card acceptance is universal in Western Europe.

Question 10

I have more questions. How fast will you reply?

Accepted Answer

WhatsApp our concierge at +39 351 343 8159 — typical reply time is under 30 minutes during European business hours, and within a few hours otherwise. Email hello@traviofy.com if you prefer; we reply within 24 hours.
