Next, it is recommended to contact a specialized local travel agency, capable of advising you and designing a personalized itinerary adapted to your preferences and pace. Once the program and quotation are validated, the booking is usually confirmed through a written contract and a deposit payment, ensuring the reservation of services (accommodation, transport, activities, guide).
You will then receive a detailed confirmation along with the necessary documents for the smooth running of your trip. A few days before departure, it is strongly advised to review the final schedule, contacts, and travel conditions.
Booking with an experienced professional ensures a worry-free, well-organized journey without unpleasant surprises.
