    Thomas

    Asked on April 23rd, 2022

    Could you please let me know how much would the single room supplement be? Also, since i am an Indian passport holder, for the purpose of my multiple entry Schengen Visa, would need certain documents from you (accommodation confirmation etc). Would you be providing that to facilitate the visa process which i would initiate please? Lastly, could you share your cancellation policy (in case for personal or covid related reasons, the trip can't be undertaken).

    Payments
    Single supplement
    Visa
    • Perfecta TravelOperatorWritten April 2022

      In the booking section when you choose desired date under accommodation section you well see single room supplement. Yes we can assist you with Visa procedures. Here is our cancellation policy: Land tours: Upon confirmation up till 30 days prior to departure- free of charge. 29 until 22 days before arrival – 50% of the remaining amount. 21 until 15 days before arrival – 75% of the remaining amount. 14 until 0 days before arrival – 100% fee.

    Asked on February 2nd, 2022

    I am 69 years old with good physique. Fro the tour, you have mentioned "up to 65 as ideal age group". Will it be ok if i join ? Further, I wish to fly back from Belgrade (rather than traveling 400 km to Zagreb for catching return flight). Will that be OK as well?

    • Perfecta TravelOperatorWritten February 2022

      You know how they say age is just a number! You are welcome to join our tour. Also it is no problem to fly back from Belgrade.
