TERM 1 – RESERVATION
Making a tour reservation with Phu Binh Voyages is a confirmation of the detailed tour program and tour quotation/price through the unique email address info@phubinhvoyages.com.vn. Upon confirmation, the Client(s) agrees to have accepted the booking conditions and that all mails exchanged between the Client(s) and our agency are legally valid. The program which includes the details of our services constitute an integral part of the reservation of Client.

After confirmation by the Client, Phu Binh Voyages is responsible for sending to the Client the scanned contract signed by the Director of Phu Binh Voyages.
This contract is obligatory only in case the Clients confirm the complete tour (with full services: tour with guides, hotels, restaurants, transport, attractions, etc).
This contract is not obligatory in case the Client only reserves services (such as hotel, transport, plane ticket, restaurant, etc.). However, Phu Binh Voyages will send the contract if requested by mail.
