A nice journey always starts with a good reading

A nice holiday, a nice trip is what we all hope for, as a moment of well-deserved leisure and relaxation. When we are on vacation we would like everything to be perfect, that everything would be as good as we dreamed it and, therefore, booked. But are we really sure we have booked just what we dreamed of? Have we taken all due care?

 

 

It seems trivial, but today 80% of travelers organize their trip, or at least inquire, on the internet and it is here, as we know, that a hitch, a misinterpretation, a hasty purchase can often be hidden ... if not the rip off.

We at MeTour.it impose a very strict policy on our partners on the quality of the tourist services offered on our platform and on the truthfulness and completeness of their descriptions. But sometimes the error arises precisely at the time of booking due to a quick or inattentive reading of what is described. Some experiences, for example, may require that the participant be in possession of particular licenses or patents (for example a diver), or that a path of a Tour is rough and therefore not really suitable for an elderly person or person with reduced mobility.

For this reason we thought to offer you some advice on what to pay attention to before making a reservation:

Descriptions: Make sure they are accurate and truthful, that they provide complete and accurate information. For accommodation, check how many stars the structure has, what services it offers, the description of the room, what is included and what is not, if there are extra local charges, pay attention to the descriptive photos. For the experiences, the itinerary, the time and the date, the meeting place, what will be lived, what is included or not must be described. Pay attention to any prescriptions regarding the age of participations or limitations to elderly or disabled people, any additional costs, dangers, skill levels, specific licenses such as patents (for example sub), local laws and regulations, National and International to example city laws on the minimum age for alcohol consumption (where experience requires it). For catering services, the type of cuisine proposed, if they offer dishes cooked according to your intolerances, the times, the place if it is easily accessible, in the case of reservations with a fixed menu if what is proposed is to your taste. For rentals what is included and what is not, any additional costs, any insurance policies that can be activated to cover any damage, special licenses, etc. Ticket office times and days of the event, any "skip the line" costs, seat reservations and their distance from the stage.

For experiences, in particular, pay attention to what your personal limits are, to what your body and your training allows you to do. For example: if I am a bike enthusiast, but I only take it on Sunday for a short walk in the park, before booking a 30 km cycle tour of the Chianti hills in Italy, perhaps it is better that I think for a moment.
MeTour.it promotes a careful integration policy towards its partners, but if you are a handicapped traveler, pay attention to what may be unsuitable tourist offers or, in any case, contact us or directly the partner / supplier to allow us to welcome you to the best. In case of doubts, never fear, before booking, to contact the service provider or, in our case, our contact center and to ask any questions you think. The quality and completeness of the answers will certainly also be a clear indicator of the quality level of that tourist offer you intend to book.

Before booking, carefully plan your itinerary, taking care not to comment on experiences or tourist services / offers that may overlap.
Travel in safety, always carrying with you what can be the local useful numbers to contact in case of emergency. If you travel with children, carefully check for any age or participation restrictions, availability of food suitable for your age and diet, specific facilities and staff for their well-being and enjoyment.

 

Find exactly what you are looking for using our numerous search filters , such as those on price, type of accommodation and services.

 

Always look for facilities or providers (like us at MeTour.it) that offer direct and truthful guest reviews . Read them carefully and be wary of those tourist offers with low ratings (1, 2 or 3 hearts in our case) or with an overall rating below 4.5. Read the comments. On our platform, the feedback is controlled and absolutely true, released only by those who have actually stayed, eaten, honored or participated in an experience purchased on our platform.

 

Contact the service provider only through the chat or messaging offered by MeTour.it, so that we can give a guarantee of authenticity. It is a safe and simple to use means that allows you to ask for all the information you want to have before making a reservation.

Protect your payments and your personal information using only our MeTour.it platform. It is secure throughout the communication, booking and payment process. Nobody can ask you to send money, provide credit card information or pay a partner / supplier directly. If this should happen, please report it immediately.

 

Before leaving, always carry out a search on the destination , possibly contacting also the local embassy, for any travel warnings, any vaccinations or special requirements. For example, travelers from the United States should consult the Department of State for any information on visas and travel warnings. Check the validity of your identity documents and, possibly, visas.
