Please adhere to traffic regulations and local laws for a seamless journey throughout the entire route.

Accommodation
At Fun Active Tours, meticulously selecting accommodations is our utmost priority. Leveraging the invaluable feedback from our esteemed customers over the years, we have been able to uphold and even elevate the quality of our service. In line with our commitment to excellence, the majority of our trips feature stays in 3 and 4-star hotels, meticulously selected as outlined in the itinerary.
For select mountain biking or hiking excursions, simpler lodges and hotels may be part of the experience.
Beyond service standards, our partnership criteria extend to fostering robust and adaptable relationships with each hotelier. Given the nature of our itineraries, which often involve brief stays at each location, occasional adjustments may be necessary, necessitating a collaborative effort from both the hotel staff and our guests. We prioritize properties that are not excessively large but efficiently managed, typically family-operated establishments where we can establish direct communication with a designated contact person.
Important Information
Throughout the week, your luggage will be handled several times. To safeguard its contents and prevent any damage or wear marks on your suitcase, we recommend using durable and manageable luggage. For logistical reasons, we limit the number of bags to one per person, with a maximum weight of 20 kg. Before your trip, you will receive precise details about luggage delivery and return times along with your travel documents.
Travel information for your booked trip
Upon payment of the total invoice amount, you will receive all necessary information from us by mail or email (approximately 3 weeks before your holiday begins). Upon arrival at the starting hotel, you will receive a comprehensive information package containing maps, route plans, detailed daily stage descriptions, brochures, and general informational materials. If you have booked bicycles, they will also be provided at this time. Each reserved room includes one information package. Please note that this documentation is provided exclusively to guests who have booked one of our trips and cannot be obtained separately.
Prices and discounts
All prices are quoted in Euros and are per person for the specified duration, inclusive of the services listed. Services not included in the list must be paid for separately and are not covered by the price. Children are eligible for discounts based on their age. For comprehensive details, please refer to the “Prices” section of individual trips.
Insurance
Securing appropriate travel insurance is vital to prevent inconvenience and save costs during your holiday. We provide various insurance options that can be arranged directly through us. Detailed information on all available options can be found on the dedicated page of our website. We encourage you to explore this section and discover the best solution for your requirements. Ensure a serene and worry-free holiday!
Telephone Assistance Service
Our customer assistance is accessible 24/7, ready to provide you with support, guidance, and real-time solutions. This exclusive service is designed to offer peace of mind and security to all our clients, regardless of their location or the time of day. The telephone service operates daily from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Return transfer at the end of the tour
For most trips, returning to the starting point can be arranged via train or other public transportation. Additionally, we offer organized transfers using our minibus. Please ensure to book the return transfer by minibus along with your trip.
BICYCLES AND ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
For all our cycling trips, we offer a bicycle rental service upon request. We provide 21-speed touring bicycles, available in both women’s and men’s models, specifically designed for our tours. Upon request, for some trips, 7-speed bicycles are available in a unisex model with a coaster brake. It is worth noting that for certain trips, only unisex bicycles are available. We are here to cater to your needs and ensure a comfortable travel experience tailored to your preferences.
Equipment
Your bicycle and all necessary equipment, including repair kits, a pump, spare inner tube, lock, and saddlebag, will be waiting for you directly at the starting hotel. At the end of your trip, simply leave the rented bicycle at the last hotel, and we will take care of everything necessary for its return.
If you prefer, you can, of course, use your own bicycle, but it is essential to ensure that it meets all current safety standards. We recommend having it checked by a specialist before departure to verify brakes, lights, gears, and other essential components. Also, remember to bring a set of tools suitable for any repairs and a spare inner tube to tackle any unforeseen events with peace of mind.
For multi-day trips, it is crucial to prepare your bicycle with everything you need. A saddlebag can be particularly useful for carrying snacks and any other essentials during the day. We suggest organizing yourself to always have essential items at hand while prioritizing comfort and practicality.
If you have opted for our minibus transfer service at the end of the trip, we will also take care of transporting your bicycle at no additional cost. However, it is important to note that our fastening and transport systems are specifically optimized for the bicycles we provide for rent. Consequently, during transport, slight damage to personal bicycles may occur. Unfortunately, in these cases, we cannot accept responsibility for any damages. We advise you to consider this possibility when deciding to use your bike.
What to do in case of BIKE BREAKDOWNS during the tour?
Our rental bicycles undergo regular checks to ensure our customers maximum comfort and safety during the journey. Despite our attention to detail, punctures are incidents that can occur. To prepare for this possibility, we provide a complete repair kit with a spare inner tube, allowing you to manage minor maintenance independently. In the event of more serious breakdowns, our telephone assistance service is always available to provide you with support and quick solutions.
If you choose to travel with your own bicycle, we recommend bringing the appropriate tools for any repairs. Ensure you have everything you need to deal with common situations so you can enjoy the journey with peace of mind and safety.
Bike rental service:
In case of total breakage, theft, loss, or damage to the rented bicycles, the following compensation rates will apply: €300.00 for 21-speed trekking bikes and €700.00 for electric bicycles, mountain bikes, racing bikes, or tandems.
It is the customer’s responsibility to compensate Fun Active Tours Srl for any inappropriate treatment or vandalism damage to the rented equipment. Costs for restoring the equipment will be charged to the customer according to the current repair price list.
In the event of theft, it is mandatory for the customer to report the incident to the competent police authorities.
Weather
Our active trips always take place outdoors, and while we strive to ensure that every holiday runs smoothly, we are powerless in the face of weather conditions. As a result, we adopt the philosophy of “get on the bike” or “put on your shoes” and embark on the adventure! With the right rain gear, you can handle even a rainy day well. If the rain persists, there is the option to complete certain stages of the route using public transportation (not included in the price!).
Arrival and return travel
For the journey to the starting point of your tour, you will need to organize yourself independently, choosing the means of transport you prefer and planning the route (by car, train, or plane). In the description of each trip, you will find useful preliminary information to help you plan your arrival trip.
