Lateness policy
No refunds will be given if the customer is late to the meet up point on departure. There is a 15 minute window between the meeting and leaving time to allow for arrivals on day trips. If the customer is not there after this window, their booking will be deemed as cancelled. No compensation will be given and we do not recommend that the passenger makes their own travel arrangements to catch up with the group.
If a customer is consistently late to departures and meeting points throughout the day, causing delays for the group, Daytripper Liverpool has the right to refuse the customer further bookings.
In the case of York, Chester, Manchester when customers can easily return by train to the original destination, Daytripper Liverpool may leave without the customer if they are more than 30 minutes late to the meeting point.
Medical Information
If you have any medical needs please inform the Daytripper team on booking. It is the sole responsibility of the passenger to do this. If there is anything we can do to make the trip more comfortable for you we will.
Health and Safety
Things to be aware of on the trips:
What to wear:
Please wear warm layered clothing on all trips and be prepared for all outdoor weather. This includes: walking boots/shoes, waterproof coat, hat, scarf, gloves, and layers of clothes. Wear sunscreen all year round.
What to bring:
Your itinerary (which is given on booking and contains contact information for the guides), money, snacks, water, camera, a fully charged phone and charger.
What to do:
Please download the itinerary on your booking confirmation. Please present your name and booking number to the guide at the meeting point given on the itinerary. During the trip, please follow instructions of the guide. This includes health and safety information, important information on meeting points and times etc. It is the customers responsibility to make sure they understand the meeting times and places during the trip.
On the trip:
Daytripper will not hold any responsibility for customers who are late for meeting points and miss the tour at any point during the day.
Daytripper will hold no accountability for those who make the decision to arrive more that 15 minutes late to a meeting point at any point during the tour. The tour will continue without customers who arrive to meeting points more than 15 minutes late.
If the customer makes the decision of their own accord to leave the trip at any point and not return to the tour for any reason, Daytripper will not hold any responsibility for your ongoing travel or for anything else that happens thereafter. Daytripper will not payout any credit or refunds to cover the costs of ongoing travel or compensation for any damages, losses etc.
Customers who miss or who leave the tour of their own accord and then decide to come back to the tour or catch up with the tour may choose to do so by taxi only at the cost of the customer in order not to cause further delay for the tour group. The guides priority is to focus our attention on the customers on the trip who are complying with meeting times and places. Customers who decide to catch up with the tour at any point should understand that guides cannot spend the tour time advising or talking on the phone with someone who hasn’t complied with the guide’s instructions because they need to be responsible for the other customers on the trip.
Daytripper will not be responsible for waiting for a customer who has left the tour or missed a meeting point and decided to catch up with the tour at a later point. Daytripper will continue to stick to the timings of the day and not delay the whole tour due to one person who has missed a meeting point or decided to catch up with the tour at a later time.
