Reservation, terms and conditions

Conditions

The prices are groups consisting of a minimum of 2 and maximum of 8 persons. Should more than 8 persons wish to join the tour, the price will be recalculated and a tour subsequently arranged. Our tour is both personalized and flexible and so the programs can be extended with extra nights, the itinerary can be changed according to your wishes or particular travel requirements.

Booking

Bookings are taken by writing directly to CIAO ROMANIA via email at info@ciaoromania.co.uk .

Bookings are finally confirmed when a min.25% advance has been paid by bank transfer and when you have received a final written confirmation from CIAO ROMANIA. From this moment onwards a travel agreement exists between the parties.

The rest of the total amount is to be paid by bank transfer 2 weeks before the arrival or directly upon arrival in Romania, at which time when both parties will also sign the original contract. After paying the advance the agency will send you a final written confirmation.
