Booking Terms and Conditions
You = A Barcelona Day Trip customer / The person booking this trip / Any and all members of a group or individual not present at the time of booking but are taking part in one of our tours, activities or day trips.
Cancellation policy and refunds
Up to 24 hours before your tour
You can cancel your booking with a full refund or make any changes up to 24 hours before the tour. That includes changing the number of people coming on the tour or the date of the activity (subject to availability).
So basically you’re free to make any changes and we are extremely flexible outside the 24 hour period.
In situations close to the 24 hour deadline period;
In order to receive your refund, you must have had contact with one of our staff or be able to show a written request to cancel via email (that’s outside the 24 hour period), in order to qualify for a full refund.
(Saying that you tried to call and cancel will not be accepted without evidence of your cancellation request and the time and date of that request).
Within 24 hours of your tour
Within 24 hours of the tour, all of the tour arrangements have been made and therefore we cannot and do not offer monetary refunds.
We do however try and be as flexible as we can. If you do cancel within the 24 hour period, you can request a voucher of 50% of your total booking value to be used within 1 year of your booking date, on an alternative booking with Barcelona Day Trip. This voucher cannot be exchanged for cash.
Requests for this voucher must be made via an email with details of your booking to: bookings@barcelonadaytrip.com
Force majeure
If you cancel a booking and have evidence of force majeure, we look at these on a case by case basis. Please get in touch with as much detail as possible via: bookings@barcelonadaytrip.com
No shows
Our tours leave on time and we advise to arrive at our meeting point at least 15 minutes before your tour starts.
We understand that sometimes it’s not possible to be exactly on time and we will always wait for a few minutes (if you get in touch with us). However due to the nature of our schedule and the number of people we take each day we cannot wait forever.
We do not offer refunds for customers who miss the tour.
Due to weather or sea conditions
From time to time we must make amendments to or cancel our tours completely due to weather or sea conditions. Our number one priority is always the safety of our customers and our staff.
If weather or sea conditions are not optimal and look like they will effect participants safety, Barcelona Day Trip could be forced to cancel the tour. If this case we will notify you as soon as possible and either move you to a different day / start time or offer you a full refund.
The decision to cancel due to weather and sea conditions will be made exclusively by Barcelona Day Trip guides and managers.
Cancellation decision will be taken at the time scheduled for the beginning of the activity according to weather and sea conditions existing at that moment. No cancellation will be decided prior to the beginning of the activity on the basis of weather forecasts (unless the weather is particularly bad) as forecasts are not 100% reliable and weather and sea conditions tend to change over short periods of time.
It may be the case that the activity must be interrupted once it has started due to worsening weather or sea conditions. In this case, the possibility of postponing the entire activity to another date or refunding part of the amount of the reservation to you will be established by mutual agreement.
All date changes that occur due to weather or sea condition are subject to availability.
