Booking a tour on Waca Tour takes a few minutes. This guide walks you through every step, explains what happens after you pay and shows you what to do if your plans change.

Step by step

  1. Search. Use the search bar to say where you want to go and where you will leave from. Filter by category, price, date and rating.
  2. Open a tour. Read the description, what is included, what to bring, the reviews and the cancellation policy.
  3. Pick a date and time. The calendar shows the days with places left. Choose the start time you prefer.
  4. Choose your guests and add-ons. Select adults, children and any extras. The price updates as you go.
  5. Choose a pick-up point. If the tour offers several, pick the one that suits you best.
  6. Enter your details. We need your name and email to confirm the booking, and a phone number so the operator can reach you.
  7. Pay securely. Payment is handled by our payment provider. We never see your full card number.
  8. Get your confirmation and QR ticket. We email the booking details and a QR ticket. Keep it on your phone.

What happens to your seats while you pay

When you start to pay, we hold your seats for a short time, about 20 minutes, so nobody else can take them. If you do not finish paying, the seats are released.

On the day

  • You get a reminder email the day before, with the pick-up point and the contact for the day
  • Show your QR ticket when you meet the guide: it is how the operator checks you in
  • Arrive a little early, with water and sun protection

Changing your plans

Each tour has one of four cancellation policies (flexible, moderate, strict or non-refundable), shown before you pay. If the operator or we cancel, you always get everything back. Read our Refund policy for every case, including what to do if a tour does not happen.

If something goes wrong

If a tour did not happen or was not as promised, you can send a claim with a written account and photos after the tour. A person at Waca Tour reads both sides and decides fairly.

Do I need an account?

No. You can book as a guest. If you like, you can create a free account with just your email and a code, so you can see your trips, cancel and leave reviews without retyping your details.

Tips for a smooth booking

  • Check the pick-up point and start time before you pay
  • Use an email you can access: your confirmation and QR ticket are sent there
  • Read the cancellation policy and the “what to bring” list
  • Book early for weekends, holidays and festivals
