Cancellation of Tour or any services caused by the Customer‘s inability to arrive in Poland as a consequence of external circumstances (e.g. floods, flight cancellation) does not release the Customer from paying the cancellation fee.

Via Poland Travel will not accept any responsibility or liability if you contravene any law or regulation of any country or region visited. Any independent arrangements that you make that are not part of the Via Poland Travel trip are entirely at your own risk.
COMPLAINTS:

The complaint should include a description of services the Traveler was not satisfied with. Via Poland Travel will refund the difference between the contracted services and the replacement services, on the condition that the Traveler does not receive replacement services of the same or higher value. We recommend contacting us also during the tour, then we will be able to address the problem immediately.
Dispute Resolution:
Vie Poland Travel aims to resolve any disputes related to services and the application of these Terms and Conditions amicably. If an amicable resolution is not possible, the following provisions apply: • Applicable law: The applicable law for contracts concluded between the Client and Via Poland Travel is Polish law. Any disputes will be resolved in accordance with Polish law. • Jurisdiction: Any disputes not resolved through the complaint or mediation process will be resolved by the competent district court. If the Client is a consumer, they may, at their discretion, pursue claims in the court with jurisdiction over their place of residence or the court with jurisdiction over the Via Poland Travel’s registered office. Via Poland Travel Travel submits to the jurisdiction of Polish courts for disputes related to concluded contracts. • Out-of-court dispute resolution: The Client, as a consumer, may opt for out-of-court methods for resolving consumer disputes. In particular, they may request mediation or dispute resolution from a permanent consumer arbitration court at the Provincial Inspectorate of Trade Inspection or another competent institution. Detailed information on accessing these procedures is available on the website of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK). Using out-of-court dispute resolution methods is voluntary and requires the consent of both parties.
Note: In case of disputes within Poland, the Polish version of these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
CHANGES TO THE TERMS:
Via Poland Travel reserves the right to make changes to these Terms and Conditions. Changes may occur, particularly due to changes in the law, changes in the way services are provided (e.g., introducing new features on the Service, expanding or changing the offer), changes in Via Poland Travel’s address or registration details, or to improve the security or clarity of the Terms.
Users will be informed of any changes to the Terms by making the updated version available on the viapolandtravel.com website in the ‘Terms and Conditions’ section, with a notice indicating the date the changes take effect. In the case of significant changes, Via Poland Travel Travel may additionally notify registered Users via email about planned modifications.
Changes to the Terms will take effect 14 days from the date the updated version is posted on the Service’s website, unless the notice of change specifies a later date. Services booked before the date the changes take effect will be governed by the version of the Terms that applied at the time of booking (contract conclusion), unless legal provisions require the application of the new provisions or the parties agree to apply the new provisions.
Via Poland Travel recommends regularly reviewing the current version of the Terms. Continuing to use the Service after the changes take effect will be considered acceptance of those changes by the User.

Yes. We always plan all our tours in the way that one driver services one, particular group of guests. Our aim is not to change the drivers/cars. And most often one, the same driver takes care of particular guests and it always works best this way.
Sometimes, very rarely, if something unexpected happens, we need to allocate more than one driver for the same travelers.
There might be different drivers only for very short, airport transfers.

On your trip you have private guides for city tours or certain locations (castles, museums) – you meet them for a few hours, they are your personal guides.
