Cancellations by Foreverbarcelona
- In the unlikely event that me or my tourguides had to cancel a tour, we’ll always first try to agree to another timeframe that works for the client.
- If we couldn’t agree on another time for the tour or I couldn’t provide a substitute, the deposit will be refunded within 10 working days.

- Date/time changes. If you needed to change the date/time of your tour, we are open to schedule changes, but I cannot guarantee it will always be possible as it depends on our availability for the new requested hours/date. A different tourguide might have to be used instead.
- Itinerary changes. Itinerary changes can be usually introduced without a problem (except when they mean extending the tour time: in that case it will depend on our availability). Note that itinerary changes in daytrips might imply a change in the final fee.
- Last minute schedule changes. No schedule changes (i.e. date, time…) are accepted less than 24h before the scheduled tour starting time.
- Driver changes:
>>>  Adding a driver. If you booked a walking tour and decided to change to a chauffeured tour, this will only be possible depending on drivers availability.
>>>  Canceling a driver. If you booked a chauffeured tour and later on you decided to cancel the driver, cancellation fees might apply. Each case will be studied independently.
>>>  Changing vehicle size. If you booked a tour in a vehicle for a certain amount of passengers and later on the group size changed and needed a larger/smaller vehicle, the change of vehicle will depend on the driver’s availability. No vehicle change is accepted in less than 24h before the scheduled tour starting time.

- Foreverbarcelona reserves the right to change the tourguide assigned upon booking until upto 7 days before tour date, unless a Fav Guide Upgrade has been purchased.
- Foreverbarcelona commits not to change the tourguide assigned to the client having purchased the Fav Guide Upgrade (except for force majeure or causes beyond Foreverbarcelona’s control such as illness, death, acts of God or other occurrences)
- The Fav Guide Upgrade is only available for a client upon booking and during the following 5 days after their booking has been finalized. After that, Foreverbarcelona will consider the client is not interested in purchasing the Fav Guide Upgrade and will be free to reassign a different guide if needed.
- The Fav Guide Upgrade is not refundable, except in the case that Foreverbarcelona failed to provide the assigned guide due to force majeure reasons or other causes beyond our control. Only in that case, the Fav Guide Upgrade fee will be refunded within 10 working days.
- When a client is booking several tours, only ONE Fav Guide Upgrade is needed to secure the assigned guide/s.
- A Fav Guide Upgrade does not entitle a client to choose their tourguide: guides are assigned depending on their availability, and we also take into account the client’s preferences although they are not binding. A Fav Guide Upgrade can’t be used to “steal” a guide from another client nor force her/him to open up a date in her/his calendar.

-Gift certificates are valid for ONE single tour, unless otherwise agreed with the client and consequently paid for.
- Gift certificates are personal and nontransferable, only valid for the person/s specified by the buyer as “recipient” when buying the gift certificate. If a recipient change was needed, the buyer absolutely needs to contact us so we can study the case see if an exception could be made.
- Gift certificates are only valid during the year specified on the certificate. If the recipient wasn’t able to arrange any date for the required year, one year extension will be available for a fee (consult us).
- The recipient of the gift certificate is responsible of contacting Foreverbarcelona at least 2 weeks previously to the tour date they wish to book. We cannot guarantee our team will have availability for requests received less than 15 days in advance, although we’ll do our best to provide a tourguide. If we couldn’t find a tourguide, 50% of the gift certificate fee will be refunded to the buyer (not the recipient).

Foreverbarcelona is not liable for any delay or irregularity of this nature, nor any expenses resulting from them.
- Itinerary: We’ll stick to the agreed itinerary as much as possible, but we reserve the right to change the itinerary and timings depending on weather conditions and unpredictable events caused by traffic, demonstrations, works in progress… Our itineraries are based on the typical tourist pace: not too rushed, but not too relaxed. Our guides handle the tour rhythm in a pleasant way, but it’s the client responsibility to follow the guides indications so we can cover everything that was planned. Foreverbarcelona will not be responsible if there wasn’t time to visit all the promised sites in the itinerary. No refunds for itinerary changes.
