The Importance of Reading in Trip Planning

A nice holiday, a nice trip is what we all hope for, as a moment of well-deserved leisure and relaxation. When we are on holiday we would like everything to be perfect, that everything goes as well as we dreamed and, therefore, booked. But are we really sure we have booked exactly what we dreamed of? Have we done all the necessary attention?
A good trip begins before the trip itself and the n.1 rule for everything to go well is, certainly, CAREFUL reading of what we are booking.
It seems banal, but today 80% of travelers organize their trip, or at least get information, on the internet and it is here, as we know, that there can often be a problem, a misinterpretation, a hasty purchase... if not the rip-off.
We at MeTour.it impose on our partners a very strict policy on the quality of the tourist services offered on our platform and on the truthfulness and completeness of their descriptions. But sometimes the error arises right at the time of booking due to a quick or careless reading of what is described. Some experiences, for example, may require the participant to be in possession of particular licenses or patents (for example for divers), or that a Tour route is bumpy and therefore not really suitable for an elderly person or person with reduced mobility.

Details to Check Before Booking

This is why we thought we'd offer you some advice on what to pay attention to before making a booking:

Descriptions: Make sure they are accurate and truthful, providing complete and precise information. For accommodation, check how many stars the structure has, what services it offers, the description of the room, what is included and what is not, if there are local extras to pay, pay attention to the descriptive photos. For the experiences , the itinerary, time and date, the meeting place, what will be experienced, what is understood or not must be described. Pay attention to any requirements regarding the age of participation or limitations for elderly or disabled people, any additional costs, dangers, levels of competence, specific licenses such as patents (for example for divers), local, national and international laws and regulations for for example, city laws on the minimum age for consuming alcohol (where experience so requires). For catering services , the type of cuisine proposed, if they offer dishes cooked according to any intolerances you may have, the times, the location if it is easily accessible, in the case of fixed menu reservations if what is proposed is to your taste. For rentals , what is included and what is not, any additional costs, any insurance policies that can be activated to cover any damage, special licenses, etc. Ticket office, times and days of the event, any "skip the line" costs, seat reservations and their distance from the stage.

Knowing Your Limits: Tips for Suitable Experiences

For experiences, in particular, pay attention to what your personal limits are, to what your body and your training allow you to do. For example: if I am a bike enthusiast, but I only take it on Sundays for a short walk in the park, before booking a 30 km cycle tour through the Chianti hills in Italy, perhaps it is better for me to think about it for a moment.
MeTour.it promotes a careful integration policy towards its partners, but if you are a traveler with a handicap, pay attention to what could be unsuitable tourist offers or, in any case, contact us or the partner/supplier directly to allow us to welcome you to the fullest. If you have any doubts, never be afraid, before booking, to contact the service provider or, in our case, our contact center and ask all the questions you have. The quality and completeness of the answers will certainly also be a clear indicator of the level of quality of the tourist offer you intend to book.

Reservations and Security: Your Travel Itinerary

Before booking, carefully plan your itinerary, taking care not to book experiences or tourist services/offers that may overlap.
Travel safely by always carrying with you what may be the useful local numbers to contact in case of emergency. If you are traveling with children, carefully check any age or participation restrictions, availability of foods suitable for their age and diet, specific facilities and staff for their well-being and enjoyment.
Find exactly what you are looking for using our numerous search filters, such as those on price, type of accommodation and services.
Always look for facilities or providers (like us at MeTour.it) that offer direct and truthful guest reviews . Read them carefully and be wary of those tourist offers with low ratings (1, 2 or 3 hearts in our case) or with an overall rating below 4.5. Read the comments. On our platform, feedback is controlled and absolutely truthful, released only by those who have actually stayed, eaten, rented or participated in an experience purchased on our platform.
Contact the service provider only through the chat or messaging offered by MeTour.it, so that we can guarantee its authenticity. It is a safe and simple to use tool that allows you to ask for all the information you want before making a booking.

Protect your payments and personal information by using only our MeTour.it platform. It is secure throughout the communication, booking and payment process. No one can ask you to send money, provide credit card information, or pay a partner/vendor directly. If this happens to you, please report it to us immediately.
Before leaving, always research the destination , possibly also contacting the local embassy, for any travel warnings, vaccinations or special requirements. For example, travelers from the United States should consult the Department of State for visa information and travel advisories. Check the validity of your identity documents and, if applicable, visas.
