All reservations specify the place of departure
of the visit. The basic fare for services
provided by FOOD & CITY SAS includes a place
of departure and arrival situated in the
geographical area of the city centre of
Strasbourg (the part of the city within the
arms of the river Ill) and within a radius of
2km around it. Any other point of departure
and/or arrival will be subject to an additional
cost, varying according to the distance, time
and possible traveling expenses of the guide,
and will require lengthening of the guided
tour to ensure the same benefits.
Period of performance
_____________________________________
The duration of the services is specified at the
time of booking and includes a starting point
(and point of arrival) as specified. In case of a
shortened service on the same day, the full
sum of the payments initially requested will
be due. The duration of the service can be
changed in advance or on site under the
following conditions:
– lateness of the group: the guide remains
waiting for the group for 30 minutes following
the original appointment time. The service
will be reduced by a period equivalent to the
delay or, subject to the availability and
agreement of the guide, the partners and the
group, may be extended accordingly; this
additional time will be invoiced on the basis
of the applicable rates.
– lateness or non-arrival of the guide: the
group should remain waiting for the guide for
30 minutes. Subject to the availability of the
guide and partners and the agreement of the
group, the visit may be extended by the delay
time (with a tolerance of 10 minutes). In the
event of disagreement, the visit will be
shortened by a duration equivalent to this
delay and will give rise to a reduction for the
customer of half an hour for each half hour
begun, on the basis of the applicable rates.
A delay of over half an hour or in case of non-
arrival of the guide, the group is entitled to
cancel the service and to demand the
cancellation of the corresponding invoice.
A compensatory payment not exceeding 30%
of the amount for the cost of the services
provided may be claimed.
