7. General travel conditions with PEPE TOURS
ORGANIZATION
The visits, tours, excursions and trips in general published on this website have been designed and organized by Roquetas Pepe Tours Ltd. and other tour operators. These routes may be operated by Roquetas Pepe Tours or any other tourism company that Roquetas Pepe Tours deems appropriate. Any copying or plagiarism of the routes and trips published is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action before the competent authorities.
This tourism service is subject to the provisions of Decree 319/1990 of December 21st, regulating the transport of passengers by road using motor vehicles, Chapter IV, in Decree 168/1994 of May 30th, regulating travel agencies, and in Regulation 21/1995 of July 6th on package holidays, as well as other applicable regulations.
The fact of taking part or making reservations of any of our visits, tours, excursions and trips in general, implies the acceptance and conformity by the client of each and every one of the conditions and norms that are detailed below.
Multi-day tours and circuits. The execution of multi-day tours is not conditioned upon a minimum number of participants. Under normal conditions, departures are confirmed with a minimum of two people. To ensure departures and avoid the cancellation of any tour, in the case of a low number of participants, the tour may be operated with an expert driver-guide with extensive knowledge of the routes. Under normal conditions, the operator guarantees all departures, except for last-minute bookings, when the group is fully booked, or in cases of force majeure that prevent the organization of the trips. In such special cases, reservations cannot be confirmed, and alternative options will be offered to the client.
No reservation will be considered firm until a deposit or payment of 25% of the total reservation value has been made. The remaining balance must be paid and settled at least 45 days prior to departure or as stipulated in the conditions agreed between the client and PEPE TOURS. Otherwise, the reservation may be considered canceled, and the conditions outlined in the cancellations and refunds section will apply.
For last-minute bookings, we recommend contacting the reservations department (+34 950 33 32 32 or WhatsApp at +34 655 655 777) to check availability and verify if any services cannot be provided.
One-day excursions and activities. Certain excursions, such as the Excursion to Cabo de Gata, the Day Trip to the Alhambra of Granada, the Excursion to Mini Hollywood – Oasys Park, and the Full day trip to Mojacar and Cabo de Gata, are subject to a minimum number of participants. If the required minimum number of participants is not reached, the excursion may be rescheduled or canceled. As many bookings are made at the last minute, and in order to avoid canceling the excursion, if we are forced to cancel, clients may be notified the day before. In such cases, clients will have the option to choose between a full 100% refund of the amount paid, reschedule the booking for another date, or switch to an alternative activity, subject to availability. If the client opts for an alternative activity, the cost will be adjusted according to the price of the new selected tour.
We advise clients not to make additional reservations or commitments related to the excursion, as in the event of cancellation due to not reaching the minimum number of participants, we are not responsible for any extra expenses the client may have incurred outside of our offer.
Optional activities during tours. During the coach holidays and multi-day tours, the guides may propose optional activities and excursions that complement the tourism offer included in the package. These optional and extra activities are subject to a minimum number of participants, which varies depending on each activity. Therefore, we recommend booking these optional activities during the tour, directly with the guide, who will provide more detailed information.

The price of the circuit-tour, excursion or trip includes everything that is detailed in the section of "The circuit-tour includes", understanding that it does not include any service that does not appear in this section.
