  6. Our company works with a number of renowned quality hotels throughout Central, Eastern and Western Europe. Thanks to our experience and contacts, we are able to arrange the best possible accommodation across all price categories.

  7. Our company has many years' experience in the tourist industry. We cooperate closely with various travel agencies as well as with our sister companies Umbrella Coach & Buses and Umbrella Yacht, specialists in international coach transport and yacht charter respectively. Thanks to this experience, we have a wide network of trusted suppliers and we can guarantee the quality of their services.

  11. The minimum number of group members is 15, but there is no maximum.

  12. Our employees get in touch with clients as soon as we receive the first e-mail. Together, we will fine-tune the offer, discuss a specific itinerary, address hotel recommendations, and the schedule for the entire journey. Our employee who is in constant communication with the client will usually be the one who welcomes the client to Prague, whether at the airport or elsewhere. This employee is also the client’s contact person, and the client can contact him or her at any time during the stay with any problem or request.

  13. We definitely recommend that you contact us well in advance, at least a few months before your trip.  During the high season, i.e. from April to June, you will need to make a reservation at least six months in advance. This is the only way we can ensure that you will be able to see and experience everything on your list.

  14. All services must be paid for by bank transfer.

  15. The terms are individual. When ordering services, the client pays 50 % of the total immediately and 50 % four weeks before arrival. If the client has ordered other services as well, such as hotel accommodation or guides, the deposit is usually non-refundable.

We can also provide clients with catering throughout the entire journey.

  18. When hiring a coach, the client will always have to pay for all members of the group. (We must underline here that children under the age of 6 must have their own safety seat. Safety seats for older children are available.) A child discount may be applicable in some hotels, or children may not be counted as participants in guided tours.

  19. Yes, we can arrange both travel insurance and travel cancellation insurance in a matter of minutes. Our offering also includes special packages for certain periods (for one, two or three weeks) and packages for groups
