2. Our Role
Wow A Tour Ltd, trading as Villefranche Shore Excursions, acts as a booking agent on behalf of independent local excursion providers.
When you make a booking, we arrange the reservation and collect payment on behalf of the provider identified in your booking confirmation. The excursion itself is supplied and operated by that independent provider.
We remain responsible for providing our booking services with reasonable care and skill. The local provider is responsible for operating the excursion in accordance with the booking description and applicable law.
This wording remains subject to final legal review.
3. Making a Booking
You may request or place a booking through our website by selecting your excursion, cruise date, ship where listed, and guest numbers, then providing your contact details.
A booking is not confirmed until you receive written confirmation from us (usually by email).
4. Prices and Payment
Prices are shown in euros on the booking pages at the time you book.
Online card payments are intended to be processed securely by Stripe. We do not ask you to email full card details.
5. Booking Confirmation
After your booking is confirmed you will receive confirmation details by email, including the excursion, date, guest numbers and meeting guidance once available.
Please check your confirmation carefully and contact us promptly if anything appears incorrect.
6. Customer Responsibilities
You are responsible for arriving at the meeting point on time, bringing any documents your cruise line requires for going ashore, and ensuring each guest is fit to take part in the excursion as described.
You must provide accurate ship and sailing information so we can plan the day around your port visit.
7. Cruise Ship and Sailing Information
Shore excursions are planned around the cruise schedule information available for your sailing. Published ship times can change.
Please tell us as soon as possible if your cruise line changes your call at Villefranche so we can review your booking.

11. Changes or Cancellation by the Local Provider or Us
If the local provider cancels the excursion, or if we notify you that the booking cannot be fulfilled, we will contact you as soon as practical and explain the options available for your booking.
Where a refund is due, we will arrange a refund to the original payment method.
12. Cruise Itinerary Changes
Cruise itineraries and arrival arrangements can occasionally change. Contact us as soon as possible if your cruise line alters your Villefranche visit so we can review the arrangements for your booking.
