Important Notes
It’s extremely important to comply with the agreed timetables for a full visit or activity.
We suggest that each group of 10 students be accompanied by a teacher/adult who will be responsible for their behavior during the visit.
The person in charge for the reservation must check the visiting conditions of the places that they want to visit, since, not all are accessible to visitors with limited mobility.

Payment
Payment must be made, preferably by bank transfer, until 48 hours before the visit.
If the number of visitors is different from the number of tickets transferred (value of the bank transfer), the Municipality of S. João da Madeira will refund the difference, if indicated up to 48 hours before the visit, when the value is equal or higher than € 15.
 
Transport
Transportation between the places of visit is the responsibility of the group.
The capacity of the bus should not exceed 55 seats nor exceed 15 meters, so that it can circulate on all roads of the city and does not compromise the program of the visit.
