Arrival & Departure Transfers
Arrivals
We offer one free shuttle for arrivals:
From Madrid-Barajas (MAD).
We will contact all guests with shuttle times as we get closer to the start date.
If you are already in Madrid on the start date:
If you are in Madrid, the easiest thing would be to simply take a taxi to the hotel, as it is in the center of the city.
Departures
Departures will be planned based on guest departure time.
If you would like to sleep in and depart at a later time, we can generally arrange it so long as we know in advance. Transportation in this case will be at your own expense. We will need to have access to your room no later than 10:00 AM for cleaning. If you make this choice, you will be on your own for transportation as we are limited to one vehicle for transfers, as our staff is spread thin on Saturdays.
Private Transfers:
If you would like a private transfer for your arrival or departure, we have found it best that you are in direct contact with your driver. Please contact the hotel for a recommendation. Note: That if you arrive on a late flight, and need to arrange a driver on the spot, the prices will likely be much higher at the airport.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy as of 2021:- Deposits are refundable within 50 days of booking, so long as they are made more than 180 days before the start date of the tour.
- After 50 days, deposits are no longer refundable. However, if you find someone to take your space, your deposit may be applied to them.
- All further scheduled payments are non-refundable once they are made. If we sell out the tour (including reserve spaces not shown on the website) we can move your full payment to another tour within 12 months.
The nonrefundable portions of payments are due to the fact that we are contractually responsible to pay those amounts for you at those times, even if you cancel. Therefore, we strongly urge all guests to obtain travel insurance as soon as possible after booking. Please click here to read about the importance of obtaining travel insurance
