How the enquiry becomes an order
- Send the enquiry without payment or booking.
- The office checks the dates, hotel, group transfer and visa invitation support.
- The office sends a written offer from OOO Gorny Gid with the final contents, exclusions, RUB amount, contract or invoice and payment instructions.
- Only after payment do the confirmed services start and, when needed for the invitation, passport data is collected through a separate protected process.

Cancellation or a changed flight
Refunds follow the signed contract and applicable law, with deductions limited to documented actual expenses. If your flight changes, the office rechecks the group transfer. A replacement transfer is not automatic; the available option and any extra charge are confirmed in writing.
