Booking Confirmation: What to Expect After You Book 📧✨

⚡ Instant Confirmation: The Most Common Case
The majority of our shared small group day tours and experiences in France offer instant confirmation.

This means:

• Your booking is confirmed immediately
• You receive a confirmation email right away 📧
• Your spot on the tour is secured

If this applies to your tour, there’s nothing more you need to do—just start looking forward to your experience 🇫🇷

⏳ When Confirmation Takes a Little Longer
In some situations, confirmation may take up to 48 hours. This usually happens when:

• Availability needs to be reconfirmed with a local partner
• Demand is particularly high for your selected date
• The experience involves limited-capacity services

During this time, your request is actively being checked, not ignored.

You will always receive an email to let you know the outcome.

✅ If Your Tour Is Confirmed
Once availability is verified:

• You’ll receive a confirmation email
• Your booking is officially secured
• No further action is required on your side

🔄 If Your Selected Option Is Not Available
Occasionally, the exact date, time, or option you selected may no longer be available.

If that happens:

• We’ll email you with alternative options, when possible
• You can choose a different date, time, or tour
• Or you may cancel for a full refund, no questions asked 💳

👉 We recommend replying as soon as possible, as availability can be limited.

If no suitable alternatives exist, your reservation will be automatically canceled and fully refunded.

🌟 Good News: Similar Experiences Are Often Available
Many of our most popular tours have comparable alternatives—sometimes in nearby locations or on different dates. If your first choice isn’t available, there’s usually another great option to discover 😊

🚐 How Booking Confirmation Works for Private Tours
Private tours work a little differently, as they require checking:

• Vehicle availability
• Driver-guide availability
• Custom routing or specific requests

For this reason, most private tours are “on request.”

What to expect:

• After submitting your request, our team checks availability
• You’ll receive a response by email, usually within 72 hours
• In some cases, timing may be slightly longer if a preferred partner is involved

Your booking is confirmed only once availability is fully secured.
