Our Tour Services

Our Site is a virtual platform for activities supplied by third party activity suppliers (each an “Activity Supplier” and “Activity”, respectively).
We act as an intermediary platform so you can search for and find an activity and activity supplier of your choice and make the booking. Curioseety only acts as a platform, facilitating the connection and interaction between you and the activity supplier and providing its assistance and help in booking the selected activity. The contract in respect to any activity is between yourself and the activity supplier, hence We are not a party to such contract. We have no responsability to you or to either party in respect of the terms of the relationship between you and the activity supplier.

To become a CuriosGuide (Activity Supplier registered with our Site) you must be a certified professional tour guide and you must have, when applicable, a licence issued by the Italian local authorities. You warrant that all the informations you provide are true and correct. You are responsible for creating and updating your own personal page in which you publish and amend your personal tours, highlights and details. You will be contacted by the Site users/travellers with whom you will exchange messages in order to facilitate their planning. We will uphold a 10% commission at the booking while the user will be responsible for paying the remaining 90% to you at the end of the tour. We suggest you arrange ex-ante the method and currency to be used for the transaction.

Pricing Terms and Conditions
This section relates only to booking a tour guide on Curioseety.com

Pricing is set by the tour guides directly and not by the site. Curioseety is a free open marketplace. The tour guide can chose a base currency of payment as EUR or USD. The tour guide has an option to receive the due cash payment in the local currency rate on the day of the tour only if all parties agree. Otherwise the currency and amount outlined on the confirmation of booking is the legal amount due. The User is liable to pay the amount correct at the time of booking.

Deposit and Payment

The deposit of approximately 10% of the total cost of the tour, is payable to our Site on booking. This deposit is fully refundable to the booker only if the tour guide does not show on the tour day and time. For any other reasons the "deposit" is non-refundable to the booker. The guide is also rensponsible for issuing the invoice to the final client as far as its 90% is concerned.

The booker is responsible for paying the balance of the tour cost directly to the tour guide on the day of the tour.

Amendments to Bookings

Not all Activity Suppliers will accept changes once they have received and confirmed your bookings. It may be possible to change your booking but this will be at the sole discretion of the Activity Supplier. All change requests should be referred to the Activity Supplier directly via the contact details provided by the Activity Supplier on the respective Activity information page.

Cancellation by Activity Supplier
