Tours are dependent on minimum numbers, for confirmed departures. Every effort will be made to operate all trips as advertised. Please note that the accommodation and services featured are an indication of those planned to use for the various trips, but it may be necessary to use alternatives in some cases. We therefore reserve the sole right, at our discretion, to modify or cancel any trip, flight schedule, accommodation or substatute at any time. We will notify you as soon as possible of any material changes and they will form part of our contract with you. A material modification is one which has a serious effect on your trip and includes a change of departure date, departure point or airport, or change of departure time of more than twelve hours, which would cause substantial inconvenience to you. Accommodation is not considered as a material change. Should a material change (or cancellation) prove necessary we will give you reasonable notice thereof, in the circumstances, and where available, offer you a comparable alternative. If an alternative is not available or acceptable you will be entitled to either a full refund of monies paid by you to us or transfer to another C the world holiday without payment of any transfer fee. If the change or cancellation is due to force majeure (i.e. circumstances like political unrest, war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, closure of airports or ports, industrial disputes, terrorist activity, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, epidemic or health risk, Acts of God, adverse weather conditions or other similar events beyond C the Word’s control) we will give a full refund of any monies paid to us less reasonable expenses incurred by us in respect of your booking. C the world is not responsible for the costs of any other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations, modifications or rescheduling of any tour departure.

Unless stated otherwise, we stay in 2*,3* and 4* tourist hotels and resorts on a twin sharing basis (2 guests per room) with en-suite bathroom.

C the World makes use of Executive coaches, except for local shuttles within the cities. By Executive coaches we mean that the coach will have reclining seats, a toilet, air conditioning, TV for movies and even a fridge. We show you relevant DVDs, as well as play some old fashion games to make the time fly. You will also get to see a lot more of the country side than what one would if you were to fly from one main city to another. Regular stops are made along the way for your own comfort, and also because Europe enforces strict driving hours for the coach driver.

This tour is designed to give you a balance of free time, as well as organized activities.

Yes, you need travel insurance to cover you for the duration of the entire trip. This is not provided by C the World or included in your tour price.

Europe can be extremely expensive, or cheap, depending on your spending habits. Try the local restaurant away from the tourist areas to save some money (And get a true feel for the city as well). General restaurant/pub prices that can be expected are as follows: Pizza = 9 Euro 3 course meal = 16 Euro MacDonald’s meal = 6 Euro Draught beer 4 Euro Cigarettes 4.50 Euro Wine by the glass 3.00 Euro Bottle of wine 10.00 Euro Always ask your tour guide for the best local tips.

Currency depends on the specific tour that you`re interested in. For our European tours you will be able to pay with Euro’s for the entire tour. Switzerland still uses the Swiss Frank, but the Euro is widely accepted as well. We recommend not traveling with loads of cash, as ATM’s are commonly available throughout Europe. Visa and Meastro cards are best. Be sure to call your bank and inform them of your travel plans so that your card does not get stopped whilst abroad.

South African citizens require a Schengen visa to enter the European Union. For the European coach tours, you need to apply through the Italian embassy. VFS Global is the official partner of the Consulate of Italy. The embassy fee is approximately 80 Euro (Approximately R1600). C the World will assist with the visa every step of the way, but unfortunately due to new laws all guests need to apply in person at the embassy, as the embassy requires biometric fingerprints before the visa can be issued. Please contact our office for more information on specific tours.

No maximum age restriction applies, however, you need to be fit enough to walk 3km – 5km at a very relaxed pace. Families, couples, singles and groups of friends are all welcome to join the tour, and normally the tours has a great balance between young and old. Average age for tours in 2022 / 2023 was 45.
