In some cases, there is a possibility that the pickup point will be within walking distance or a short drive from your location due to logistics and limited accessibility of the driveway. If your hotel is not listed, or if you are staying elsewhere, please contact us so we can provide you with the nearest pickup point. If you do not know yet your accommodation location kindly let us know as soon as possible, but please don't worry! Within three days before the beginning of the excursion, we will send you a reminder. If you fail to arrive at the place and time indicated by EOS TOURS, this will be considered a “no-show” and no refund will be given.
