Receive final documents: After full payment, you will typically receive your final travel documents, which include details such as the exact itinerary and accommodation information.

Here are the typical steps in detail:



Research and selection:

You search online or through a travel agency for suitable tours, compare options, read reviews, and check which itinerary, duration, and activities meet your needs.

Check availability:

You select your desired date and time to ensure that spaces are available. Online booking systems often display availability in real time.

Select details and options: You specify the number of participants (adults, children) and, if desired, select additional options or upgrades (e.g., bicycle type for a cycling tour, special meals).

Enter information:

You enter your personal and contact information, including full names, dates of birth, and any special requirements (e.g., dietary restrictions, health conditions).

Make payment:

To secure your booking, you make a deposit (often 25-50% of the total price) or the full amount via a secure payment method (e.g., credit card, PayPal).

Review and confirm your booking: Before completing the process, carefully review all entered information and the booking details (date, price, services included, cancellation policy).

Receive confirmation:

After successful payment, you will receive an official booking confirmation and an invoice, usually by email. This contains all relevant information, local contact persons, and sometimes travel documents such as flight tickets or hotel vouchers.

Preparation:

Note your travel dates in your calendar and make final preparations, such as purchasing travel insurance or checking entry requirements and vaccinations.
