      Emily

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      It's said on your website: "Trips booked more than 7 days before arrival: Trip2Ro doesn't charge any deposit but just a formal booking is needed and a deposit of 20% of the total price will be paid within 7 days before the departure."
      So there is no deposit needed to make the reservation. Is it right or wrong?
      Thank you for your help.

    • Trip2roOperatorWritten August 2024

      In any case it is indicated the distance in miles and not in hours. The walking tours of the cities are taking usually around 2-2.5 hours with stops and covers around 2.5-3.5 km. This is the average walking for every city visited.
