FREE BONUS : If you want to get to know the Bubble Up Travels community, you are welcome to participate in FREE ACTIVITIES during the week and/or weekends. With New Local & International Friends (NewLiF), we organize well-being and artistic activities, sports, cultural outings, photo walks, picnics, aperitifs, parties, … 3-5 times a week! The majority of participants come solo to meet new people. All activities are organized with an animator !

The day before the trip (generally between 8 PM and 9:30 PM), you will receive an email reminding you of the meeting place and time of your upcoming trip. This information is already indicated on your ticket, do not hesitate to take a closer look at it.

The number of the tourleader will not be indicated before the trip, your tourleader will communicate it in the coach, once the trip has started. And it will be proposed to the present participants to create a WhatsApp group dedicated to the trip, to share geolocations and photos, keep in touch, … Bubble Up Travels are favorable to new friendships, for a day or forever!

For all trips it is recommended to bring:

• a bottle of water (a durable thermos is better)
• shoes adapted to the city and dirt roads
• your camera / your smartphone charged to 100%
• an external battery (powerbank) to be able to take photos and videos from morning to evening

For beach excursions, also bring:

• your bath towel
• your sunscreen
• your hat
• your sunglasses

For the weekends (several days of travel), do not forget:

• your shower towel (micro-fiber recommended for lightness and quick drying)
• your toilet bag (shampoo, brush, toothbrush, face cream, …)
• a change of clothes or two
• your smartphone charger, tablet, external battery

As much as you can carry! But the less you take the better it is for the planet (the more luggage weight, the more fuel is needed to move the coach forward). We therefore recommend that you simply bring the essentials 😊

For roadtrips (long duration/distance travels) special instructions may apply depending on the local carrier. If no indication is specified in the description of the roadtrip, do not hesitate to consult us.

The morning (or evening) of departure, it is important to come at the MEETING TIME (30 minutes before departure) because at the DEPARTURE TIME the coach is driving off.

Between the MEETING time and the DEPARTURE time, a lot happens :

• ice-breaking animation to get to know each other and laugh together right away
• creation of membership cards for participants who come for the 1st time
• verification of the tickets of all participants before boarding the bus

So come early or on time at the MEETING time for a good start, avoid any disappointment, and get to know your tourleader and all the participants

The MEETING time being 30 minutes before the DEPARTURE time, the bus will not wait for any latecomers. The trip begins together in joy and good humor at the MEETING time with a punctual departure at the DEPARTURE time in order to respect the trip program, thus rewarding the punctual participants.

No-show at departure is the Customer’s responsibility, no refund, no credit note or exchange can be requested.

Your tourleader will help with placement in the coach according to several parameters. Precise instructions will be explained by your tourleader on the morning of departure. The first come, first served rule does not apply in priority. Your tourleader is in charge of the placement in the coach.

Of course, friends who wish to be seated together will be able to do so and people who suffer from motion sickness will have priority to sit in front, etc. The optimized placement in the coach by Bubble Up Travels is carried out to help the conviviality and optimal comfort of the whole group.

Excursions and weekends : from 10 to 60-80 participants.

Mystery getaways in Ile-de-France : 10-30 participants

Roadtrips : 7-15 participants

Each participant has 2 choices during the trips:

stay with the tourleader and the whole group to visit, walk, have lunch, swim, … and together return on time or in advance to the bus meeting point for the next stage or return journey. Guaranteed, by staying with your tourleader you will never miss a coach departure.

or

be on your own, enjoy your free time as you wish, with one sole instruction : be on time at the appointment at the bus. The meeting time is reminded orally before exiting the bus at destination ; listen carefully to your tourleader before leaving the bus. The meeting time is 10-15min before the departure of the bus. If you are late and miss the departure of the bus, it is up to you to join the group by your own means at the next stage or return by your own means, at your expense in both cases. All participants being adults, able to make their own decisions, any lateness will be considered as the participant’s desire to stay on site to enjoy the destination longer.
