Optional activities and optional packages compared

A client hears "optional" and thinks it is all one thing. Europamundo’s terms treat two things separately, and the difference decides who can book, and when.

Feature	Individual optional activity	Optional Package
What it is	An activity a passenger books through the My Trip app or website	A set of activities grouped within one city, designed for advance booking
When	Before or during the trip	Before the tour starts, in all cases
Where	My Trip, on the app or the website	Only through the travel agency, not at the destination or through the app
Advice and limits	Europamundo strongly recommends booking in advance to ensure availability	Indivisible: may not be modified, booked or cancelled partially

Optional means not included

Optional services are not part of the tour price, and buying them is voluntary. Say so before the quote goes out, so the tour price is not read as the whole holiday.

If an activity is cancelled

The terms let Europamundo cancel a booked optional activity up to 48 hours before it happens, because of unforeseen circumstances such as the closure of a monument or an official event. If it does, the terms say Europamundo will tell the client as soon as possible and, when applicable, issue a full refund for the service not rendered, or a proportional refund if part of it can still be provided. If the client cancels, fees may apply when tickets or services have already been issued and are non-refundable or non-cancelable, and a cancellation less than 48 hours before may incur additional charges.

The terms do not state a free-cancellation period, so do not promise a refund on a package. Ask us, and we confirm with Europamundo.

On a Go English tour

The terms say that transport to optional activities may be shared with passengers from other language groups. Say so when a client expects a private outing in English.

Prices

The terms say the price of each service is given on My Trip or in the tour information, so none is printed here. Our post on five featured packages shows what a package looks like, and our guide, Optional excursions and Optional Packages, has the same rules in short form. Ask us about packages for a tour.
