Booking & Tickets
Your e-ticket is emailed instantly after payment is confirmed. It's a PDF or QR code — simply show it on your phone at the tour meeting point. No printing necessary.
For groups of 10 or more, please submit a group inquiry at booking@activity-crest.com. While discounted rates are not available for all tours, selected tours may qualify for special group pricing. Standard hop-on hop-off bus tickets are eligible for group discounts; however, attractions, passes, combo tickets, and related products are excluded.
Due to the operational nature of hop-on hop-off services and fluctuating daily demand, we cannot guarantee that all members of a group will be accommodated on the same bus at the same time. Seat availability varies by stop and service demand, and groups may be required to split across multiple buses and/or wait for subsequent departures.
All group members must redeem their vouchers together initially. Once redeemed, individual tickets will be issued, allowing travellers the flexibility to explore independently thereafter. The requirement to remain together applies only during the voucher redemption process when tickets are booked under a single reservation.
As we are unable to guarantee that larger groups can travel together as one unit, bookings will be divided into smaller groups of approximately 5-7 passengers per ticket allocation, depending on the overall group size.

Hop-On Hop-Off Tours
Hop-on Hop-off buses follow a fixed circular route with stops at all major attractions. Board at any stop, ride as far as you like, hop off to explore, then hop back on the next bus — all included in your ticket. You can hop on and off as many times as you want within your ticket validity.
Frequency varies by city and season. Typically every 10–20 minutes in peak season (April–October), and 20–30 minutes off-peak. The exact schedule for each city is shown on the tour page.
Ticket validity begins upon first redemption and is determined by the ticket type purchased. For combination tickets, we recommend reviewing the specific validity terms prior to use.
1-Day Ticket: Valid for one calendar day.
2-Day Ticket: Valid for two consecutive calendar days.
24-Hour Ticket: Valid for 24 consecutive hours from the time of first redemption. For example, a ticket activated at 3:00 p.m. remains valid until 3:00 p.m. the following day.
48-Hour Ticket: Valid for 48 consecutive hours from the time of first redemption.
1-Day Ticket: Valid for one calendar day.

Yes. Reduced fares are available for children, and in many cases children travel free of charge. Applicable age categories and fare policies vary by operator and are clearly specified on each individual tour page.
Cancellations & Refunds
Most tours offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour start time. Some tours have 48-hour or 72-hour notice requirements. The exact policy is clearly displayed on every tour page before checkout. Non-refundable options are labelled clearly.
If your booking falls within the cancellation period and you would like to request a cancellation or amendment, please contact us at booking@activity-crest.com.
Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 7–10 business days. You'll receive a confirmation email once the refund is initiated. The actual credit to your account depends on your bank or card issuer.
If an operator cancels a tour (e.g. due to extreme weather or unforeseen circumstances), you'll receive a full refund automatically within 7-10 business days — no action needed on your part.
Many tickets are date-flexible (open-dated) and valid for 6–12 months. If your ticket has a fixed date and you need to change it, contact our support team as early as possible — we'll check with the operator.
