Transfer transportation is typically a smaller coach, taxi or vehicle and in some cases, airport and hotel arrival and departure transfers will combine multiple travel groups. 

Transfers are typically not included where an arrive early/stay behind has been added to the order and the arrangement and cost of any transfer in these instances becomes the responsibility of the relevant customer(s).

In the event of a flight cancellation or delay, travellers must contact their emergency contact prior to arrival to see if the transfer can be rearranged.  Where this is not possible, travellers will be required to make their own way to the hotel and contact their travel insurance to see if they are eligible for a claim. Parties2Weddings is not liable for reimbursement of missed inclusions due to flight cancellations or delays.

LAND ACTIVITIES & OPTIONAL DAY TOURS
Some experience package offers may include the option to request or purchase additional land activities and/or optional day tours/tour extensions or internal domestic transport upgrade options.

These options can be negotiated directly with taxi & tour operators on the ground in the destination country or Parties2Weddings can assist in arranging, subject to availability.

Some tours and/or activities are subject to availability, minimum numbers and weather constraints. In circumstances where these tours cannot go ahead and you have prepaid, you may receive a refund on return. Change of mind to participate in any prepaid activities may not be eligible for a refund due to the cancellation policy of the Suppliers.

TOUR GUIDES AND TOUR LEADERS
Some travel offers as part of experiences packages, may include a tour guide or a tour leader. Tour guides and tour leaders are not a standard inclusion on all travel offers and will only be made available when particularly required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.
