Travel Program

The website provides a general description of each group trip. The actual program is always subject to weather conditions and will be adjusted as much as possible to the preferences and capabilities of the group.

STO Garant Protection Scheme

To comply with the legally required guarantee, Byzondere Reizen uses STO Garant. You can verify this via the STO Garant participant page (www.stogarant.nl/deelnemers). All information about STO Garant can be found at www.sto-garant.nl. Each travel offer by Byzondere Reizen will clearly state whether STO Garant coverage applies. The guarantee scheme explains what the guarantee entails and what conditions apply. This can be found on the STO Garant website (www.sto-garant.nl/downloads).
If the STO Garant scheme applies to your booking, your payment is made not to Byzondere Reizen, but to the escrow account of Stichting Derdengelden Certo Escrow, a payment service provider registered with the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) and the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). Your payment will be secured until the end of your trip. If, due to financial insolvency of Byzondere Reizen, the services are not (fully or timely) provided, STO Garant will execute the guarantee. You will find the procedure for claims on the STO Garant website.

Payment Terms

An initial deposit of €100 is required if you book more than six months before departure. Half the total travel sum is due six months before the trip, and the remaining amount must be paid no later than four weeks before departure. All payment requests will be sent to you via STO Garant.

Cancellation Policy

If the participant cancels between six months and one month before departure, 50% of the total trip fee is due. If cancellation occurs one month or less before departure, the full amount is due. For cancellations more than six months before departure, a €100 fee applies.

Byzondere Reizen may cancel a trip no later than 20 days prior to departure and refund the full travel sum without any liability for damages if:

• the number of participants is below the minimum stated in the travel description;

• there is a case of force majeure, defined as unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances.
