These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) apply to all tours and services offered under the brand “Adam and Eve”, operated by:

Unthinkable Experiences B.V. Oostelijke Handelskade 1213 1019 DN Amsterdam The Netherlands

Registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) under the number 98895591

In these Terms, “Adam and Eve”, “we”, “us” or “our” refers to the operator above, and “you”, “guest” or “traveller” refers to any person making a booking or participating in our tours.

2. Scope of These Terms

2.1 These Terms govern all agreements between you and Adam and Eve for guided tours and related services (together the “Services”), whether booked:

  • Directly via our website, email or phone, or

  • Indirectly via online travel agencies (“OTAs”) or other partners.

2.2 If there is any conflict between these Terms and specific written conditions in your booking confirmation (for example, a special group contract), the specific written conditions prevail.

2.3 For certain bookings that qualify as “package travel” under EU law, additional rights apply (see Article 15 below).

3. Formation of the Contract

3.1 By completing a booking (online or otherwise), you confirm that:

  • You are 18 years or older and legally able to enter into contracts; and

  • You accept these Terms on behalf of all persons named in the booking.

3.2 The contract between you and us is formed when you receive our written booking confirmation (usually by email). Until that moment, your booking request is an offer and can be declined by us.

3.3 If you book through a third party (e.g., OTA, travel agent), their terms may apply in addition to ours. In case of conflict, our Terms govern our own Services, without prejudice to your statutory rights.

4. Services and Inclusions

4.1 The main characteristics of each tour (meeting point, start time, duration, language, inclusions/exclusions, minimum/maximum group size, accessibility notes) are described on the relevant tour page and/or in your confirmation email.

4.2 Only the services explicitly described as included in your booking form part of the contract. All other items (e.g., extra drinks, personal expenses, tips, insurance, transport to/from the meeting point) are excluded unless expressly stated otherwise.

4.3 We may use carefully selected third-party providers (e.g., boat companies, restaurants, venues) to provide parts of the Service.

5. Prices, Taxes and Payment

5.1 All prices are shown in EUR per person or per group, as indicated, and include applicable Dutch VAT, unless stated otherwise.

5.2 Any additional fees (e.g., booking fees, credit card surcharges, local taxes) are displayed during the booking process and/or on the invoice.

5.3 Payment terms:

  • Online bookings: full payment is generally due at the time of booking, unless otherwise stated.

  • Group/private contracts: payment schedule, deposits and balance due dates are set out in the specific offer/confirmation.

5.4 If payment is not received by the stated deadline, we reserve the right to cancel the booking. In that case, our cancellation policy (Article 8) will apply.

6. No Statutory Cooling-Off Period for Dated Tours

6.1 Under EU and Dutch consumer law, online purchases usually come with a 14-day right of withdrawal (cooling-off period). However, an exception applies to services related to leisure activities if the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance (for example: dated tours, tickets for events, etc.).

6.2 Most of our tours and activities are scheduled for a specific date and time. Therefore, you do not have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for these bookings.

6.3 Instead, cancellations and changes are governed by our cancellation policy in Article 8 and any specific conditions shown during the booking process and in your confirmation.

7. Changes Requested by You

7.1 If you wish to change your booking (date, time, number of participants, tour type, etc.), you must send us a written request via email at contact@adamandevetours.com or call us at +31 6 23028032.

7.2 We will do our best to accommodate your request, subject to:

  • Availability, and

  • Any price difference and administration/change fees that may apply.

7.3 If a requested change is not possible, the original booking remains in force, unless and until you cancel it according to Article 8.

8. Cancellation by You

8.1 You may cancel your booking at any time by sending written notice to contact@adamandevetours.com. The date of receipt of your email determines which conditions apply.

8.2 Unless otherwise stated in your specific offer/confirmation, you can cancel your public tour up to 24 hours before the start of the tour in order to receive a full refund.

8.3 No-show and late arrival:

  • If you do not arrive at the agreed meeting point on time, the tour will start without you.

  • We cannot guarantee that the guide can be reached by phone or wait longer than a reasonable grace period.

  • No refund will be given if you are late or cannot find the meeting point.

8.4 If you booked through a third party (OTA, travel agent), their cancellation rules may apply as well. Please check your voucher/confirmation.

9. Changes and Cancellation by Us

9.1 We reserve the right to make minor, reasonable changes to itineraries, timings and inclusions when required by operational or safety reasons (e.g., weather, road closures, supplier closures, public events).

9.2 We may cancel a tour in the following (non-exhaustive) situations:
