PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING

Warnings

​​TEMPERATURES: Temperatures may hover around 95°-100°F (35°-38°C) in summer with high humidity. We do not recommend booking the tour if you are still jet-lagged, there is a risk of fainting.

​

HEALTH, AGE & WALKING: BIBLE TOURS ROME JW offers long outdoor walking tours and they include uphills and steps, hence they are not recommended for those with children in strollers, people over 70 and for those who use a walking stick, crutches, wheelchairs -even if powered-, or wear prosthetic legs. PLEASE DO NOT EXPOSE YOURSELF TO DANGER OR OUR STAFF TO UNNECESSARY STRESS IF YOU FALL INTO THESE CATEGORIES OR YOU HAVE HEART-BLOOD PRESSURE PROBLEMS, ETC. BIBLE TOURS ROME JW is not covered by any kind of insurance in case you feel sick, faint, hurt yourself or you get involved in a road accident.

 

RESTROOMS: OUR TOURS DO NOT HAVE RESTROOM BREAKS UNLESS YOU UPGRADE (see price list), so emergency situations will be handled by sharing the real-time location (via WhatsApp) of the rest of the group with those who need to stop.

​

PLEASE NOTE: If any participant causes slowdowns or difficulties for the rest of the group, they may be notified that they will not be able to continue and will not be refunded. It is the responsibility of the person booking (referred to as "group leader" in the terms and conditions) to inform their group and obtain their consent before booking. BIBLE TOURS ROME JW is not responsible for the negligence of the group leader in this regard.

PROPER BEHAVIOR TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TOUR

  • Don't come on an empty or too full stomach.

  • Bring a refillable water bottle and a snack (see The "Nasoni": the Rome's Free Water Fountains).

  • Check the weather forecast and bring your essentials, wear comfortable clothes and shoes (see Rome Bible Tours Dress Code).

  • Use the bathroom before the tour start time.

  • Make sure you are available on WhatsApp, it is the ONLY way to know the real-time location of the group in case you are late or for other important last minute communications (see CONNECTIVITY).

  • Arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes before the tour start time: plan how to get to the meeting point the day before, leave WELL in advance and be cautious whatever means of transport you intend to use (see Stay Safe and Travel Smart in Rome: how to avoid Unpleasantness and TRANSPORTATION).

  • No participant should separate from the group without first notifying the tour leader. The tour will not be interrupted except for emergencies and it will be the responsibility of those who do not respect this rule to return the radio or refund it if it was provided.

  • If you have purchased the break upgrade, please do not order hot or elaborate dishes; the duration of the break does not allow for them.

  • You can quickly take photos and videos while walking, but please don’t fall behind because of it. Video or audio recording of the explanations is not permitted.

  • Feel free to ask questions about the topics covered in the tour, but please keep in mind that this is not an interview about every monument you happen to see while walking. Questions like "What am I looking at?" are considered rude because BIBLE TOURS ROME JW has carefully prepared an explanation for each monument included in the itinerary you purchased.

  • Translations are not allowed during the tour​​​. â€‹

Proper Behavior

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Terms & Conditions

The warnings set out above and the section "PROPER BEHAVIOR TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TOUR" form an integral part of the Terms & Conditions and are accepted by all participants upon payment of the deposit.

​

​​IN-PERSON TOURS

  • CANCELLATION AND NO-SHOW POLICY The deadline for cancellation is the same day of the week prior (Italian time); after this point, the deposit becomes non-refundable, and any outstanding balance will also be due as a penalty fee. If you joined a group with fewer than 7 total participants and that group cancels, you will have the option to pay the full rate for groups of up to 6 participants or receive a refund. If a group you joined cancels after the 7-day deadline, you will not be required to pay a higher rate. For these same reasons, "last-week" requests are inherently non-refundable, as they take place during the final week.
    The customer's illness or injury cannot be considered valid reasons for cancellation beyond this limit. 

  • WAITING POLICY Single booking: A 30-minute wait is allowed (it will be counted in the timing though) after which, the cancellation terms will apply. Multiple bookings: The real-time location will be shared ONLY via Whatsapp with those arriving after the start time, but ANY MESSAGES OR CALLS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED ONCE THE TOUR HAS STARTED.

  • RAIN POLICY In case of short-light rain it is still possible to do the tour, so please make sure to bring along ponchos and umbrellas. In case of long-heavy rain the tour either will be cancelled with a refund of the entire deposit (before commissions) or rescheduled, when possible, according to both your and BIBLE TOURS ROME JW schedules.

  • RESCHEDULING Anyone who accepts a rescheduling arrangement—regardless of who proposed it—acknowledges having considered all economic and logistical aspects and cannot claim a refund should they subsequently be unable to use the service.

  • DISCLAIMER If for any reason it is unable to provide the booked service, BIBLE TOURS ROME JW undertakes to reschedule it compatibly with the commitments of both parties, otherwise it will refund the entire deposit net of commissions. BIBLE TOURS ROME JW will not compensate any sum beyond the amount of the deposit for any inconvenience caused by its non-performance (e.g. transportation or accommodation expenses). BIBLE TOURS ROME JW reserves the right to include other participants in its tours at its own discretion, without affecting the participation fee of those who have already booked (this might involve a personal courtesy or the inclusion of clients who had previously paid but were unable to attend a tour). BIBLE TOURS ROME JW is not responsible for any type of injury that may occur to customers -and minors in their care- during the performance of the services.

  • TICKETS AND TRANSPORT The tours do not include any ticket, neither for attractions nor for transportation. The customer is responsible for informing themselves of any mobility disruptions in order to reach the meeting point on time. PLEASE NOTE: Some attractions may be temporarily unreachable due to traffic, events, road closures, maintenance, queues and similar. BIBLE TOURS ROME JW is not responsible for this occurrence and will do its best to replace the attraction in question.

  • FOOD AND BEVERAGE Breaks and meals are not included. Any stop is included in the time count.

  • TERMS OF USE Sharing or distributing material provided by BIBLE TOURS ROME JW via photos or screenshots is prohibited.​
