Terms and Conditions
The contract is between you the Client, and the Guide. All guiding fees and conditions should be agreed between yourselves and your guide prior to the commencement of the tour.
For Driver Guided tours, the STGA Driver Guiding Passenger Policy applies
STGA Tourist Guiding Fees
All our guides are self-employed, thus they set their own fees for the services they provide.
As a result, guide fees may vary.
Some languages are in high demand, thus prices may reflect this.
Only once you have contacted ‘your’ guide and details such as the itinerary are agreed upon, can the exact fee be confirmed.
Guiding fees are commonly required to be paid in advance of your tour.
All quotes and transactions in £ GBP.
Entrances to paid venues and attractions are not included in fees.
Suggested fees do not include overnight accommodation or meals for guides.
For walking tours of over 25 pax, additional guides may be required.
To maintain group safety and quality of our tours at all times on walking tours, we reccommend that the group size is limited to a maximum of 25 visitors per guide.
Insurance
The STGA strongly recommends that passengers arrange suitable travel, medical, and cancellation insurance.
Payments by STGA Members to STGA
Payments made by members of the STGA for items or services that are not guide services are exempt from all Terms and Conditions stated above on this page.
Examples of payments that are exempt include payments for subscription fees, member supplies and course fees.
