Terms and Conditions

FREE TOURS

Individuals

FREE TOURS are intended for the enjoyment of small groups (fewer than ten), and individual travelers. The tours are operated on a tips- only basis, and there is no upfront cost to access the tour. Whilst it is not necessary for individual travelers to pre-book their place, we strongly advise doing so. Individuals presenting themselves at the start point are not subject to any charge and places are allocated on a first-come- first-served basis.

Pre-booking gives you priority onto the tour over guests with no reservation in the rare case a tour is oversubscribed and saves you from waiting in line upon presenting yourself before the tour to a SANDEMANs NEW Europe employee. However, we do require that you do so no later than 15 minutes before the start of the tour, after which point we reserve the right to allocate your place to somebody else. This is in the interests of fairness to all those wishing to participate on the tour, as well as to ensure their punctual start.

Groups (ten or more persons traveling together)

Our FREE TOURs are intended for small groups (fewer than ten), and individuals. Groups of ten or more persons should book a private tour, as it is the only way to guarantee your group will travel together. Should your group decide to turn up at our meeting point without having booked a private tour, then acceptance of your booking is entirely at the discretion of the provider(s) of the tour(s), who will require that your group be split up across the available tours, should they accept your booking. We recommend that you contact us to schedule a private tour if your group is comprised of 10 or more people.

Free Tours Cancellations

If your reservation is for a group of 9 people or less, you can make a new reservation without having to cancel your previous booking, or simply go on another time and date to the meeting point 5 to 10 minutes before the tour starts and speak directly with our representative there.

If your reservation is for a group of 10 or more, please contact us here.

SELECT TOURS

Select tours are paid tours. Your ticket and booking confirmation will be sent to you automatically by email upon successful completion of your order. If you do not receive this mail for any reason, you are asked to contact us at info@neweuropetours.eu, as it may mean that your order has not been successfully processed. Please check your junk or spam folder first.

You should print your ticket or be ready to show it on your smartphone or tablet, and present it alongside valid photo ID before the start of your tour. If you do not have access to a smartphone or printer, please pay at the start point rather than pre-book online. The exception to this rule is for tours running in Madrid, where we do not sell tickets at the start of the tour. Whilst we will attempt to verify bookings for those who turn up without a valid printed ticket, we are not always able to do so and therefore make no guarantees. In this case, you will be required to pay again.

Similarly, if you are unable to prove your student status, or are not under the age of 18 and traveling with a parent or guardian, you may be asked to pay the difference between a student and a regular ticket.

Your tour ticket includes your guide(s), and may include transportation costs where specifically indicated. Food, beverages, incidentals, bathrooms, and anything else not specifically included in the tour price is not included.

Children up to 13 may participate on the tours for free, except for tours where entry costs are included in the price. All participants wishing to join our Pub Crawls and Beer Tours must be 18 years of age, with a valid driver’s license, passport or ID card as proof of age.

Select Tours Booking Amendments

If you want to reschedule your select tour, please contact us here with the name of the city you are doing the tour in, your booking reference number and  the new date to join the tour. Any amendment you wish to make to your booking must be requested at least 24h prior to the tour departure time. We will be more than happy to assist you whenever possible.

Cancellations

If you make a booking but can’t make it, our refund policy is as follows:

Inform us at least 48 hours before the tour departure: 100% refund.
Inform us between 48 hours and 24 hours before the tour departure: 50% refund.
Inform us less than 24 hours before the tour departure: 0% refund.

PRIVATE TOURS

Private Tours are paid tours with a guide booked just for you and your group. Your ticket and booking confirmation will be sent to you automatically by email upon successful completion of your order. If you do not receive this email for any reason, please get in contact with private@neweuropetours.eu as it may mean that your order has not been successfully processed. Please check your junk or spam folder first.

You should be ready to print your ticket or to show it on your smartphone or tablet. You may be asked to show a valid ID with picture to identify yourself. Children under 16 may participate on the tours but should be accompanied by their parents/teachers or legal guardian who should remain with the group until tour ends.

Unless otherwise specified on the booking, the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 30 people per guide. Groups with over 30 participants will need to book more than one private tour guide. In Amsterdam, the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 20 people per group.

Your tour ticket includes your private tour guide(s). Food, beverages, transportation tickets, incidentals, bathrooms, and anything else not specifically included in the tour price is not included.

Private Tours Cancellations

You may cancel your booking any time before the tour date by writing an email to private@neweuropetours.eu. Cancellations need to be made at least 72 hrs before the start of your private tour, and the company holds the right to keep 10% of your down payment. A 50% refund will be given to cancellations received between 48-72 hours before the start of your private tour. Cancellations received within 48 hours and no-shows will not be refunded.

Amendment Fee

If you wish to review or adjust your booking up to 72 hrs before the tour, an administrative charge of €10 will incur per change. Any changes made to the booking within 72 hours of the scheduled tour start time will incur in an administrative charge of €50.00.

Late Policy

Your private tour guide is booked specifically for the length of time mentioned on the service description. If your group arrives more than 10 minutes late, the waiting time will be deducted from the agreed upon tour length. In the event of a delay, please contact us during office hours under 0049 30 510 500 30 (7 weekdays from 9am – 6pm CET) or after office hours under 0049 160 9089 1894 (7 weekdays from 6pm – 9am CET). If no contact is made within 15 minutes of the agreed upon meeting time, the group will be considered a “no-show” and the tour will be cancelled, with no refund available.
