Why is payment by credit card not possible?

The processing of your booking through us is not some impersonal internet matter. As the booking, tour preparation and visa procurement takes several weeks, there is plenty of time to use the classical way of a bank transfer. We will write you a bill, which is paid from bank to bank. It is also possible to deduct the amount from your online account if you wish to save bank fees. Alternatively a cash payment can be made in the office.

You can not pay by credit card for your trip. For one simple reason: The fees du to the credit company are somewhere near 3-5%.

Accepting credit cards we would add this percentage into the tour price, this raising the prices unnecessary, in some cases by € 100. This is a lot of money for a little comfort. Is this really necessary?

Should you have add-ins like insurances with the credit card contract, we suggest you read the small print. It is not always a requirement to pay with the card. Alternatively there is the possibility to transfer your payment to us from the so called Credit Card Account*. Ask the staff at your bank how this is done.
