What payment methods can I use to pay for my tour?

You can make a payment via:

  • Debit or credit card
  • Wire Transfer

     

What is a CVV/CVC number and where can you find it on your credit card?

The CVV Code is a security code that, on most cards, is a three digit code located on the back of the card, inside the signature area. For American Express the CVV code appears as 4 digits above the card number on the front of the card.

Why has my payment been declined?

Your card may have been rejected for one of the following reasons:

  • Error entering card number. . Check that the data entered is correct. Make sure that you have entered the correct card number. Do not enter spaces or hyphens.
  • Credit card expired. If the card has not expired, check that the date has been entered correctly.
  • Error writing CVV / CVC card verification code : Check that you have correctly entered the card’s CVV code. The CVV Code is a security code that, on most cards, is found on the back of the card, in the signature area. For American Express the CVV code is the 4 digits that appear on the front of the card above the card number.
  • Credit limit, card limits and account balance . Verify that the card you are using has a sufficient balance. Most cards come with a preset limit between 600 USD to 1,200 USD. Verify with your bank that you are not exceeding the limit of your card. Remember that even if you have a balance in your bank account, you may have exceeded the daily or monthly limit of your card. In any case, you can contact your bank to extend the limits, or indicate that you are going to proceed with a purchase, specifying the amount. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
  • Secure payment or 3DSecure. With some purchases, your bank asks for an extra verification step when making the payment. Most of the time it is a code sent by SMS or through your bank’s APP. Remember to have your mobile phone nearby to be able to enter the code you receive on your phone. Once you receive it on your mobile phone, you must enter the code in the purchase process.
  • Sometimes it is a good idea to try paying with another card or with a different payment method.

If after carrying out these checks, problems still persist, do not hesitate to contact our customer service. We will offer you help with your selection of payment methods and we will inform you about other payment methods available.

Can I use a different card for the final payment instead of the card I used when I made a reservation?

Yes, for the second payment you can use another card without a problem.

The ETIAS travel authorization will be needed to enter a Schengen member country by air, land or sea. From November 2023, visitors that do not need a visa to enter Europe will be able to register with ETIAS. ETIAS will become a mandatory entry requirement.
