Unless otherwise stated in the travel program, the price of the travel arrangement includes all costs for transport, accommodation and meals, as well as the travel organization and travel guide.

These services must be paid separately by the passenger. At the time of booking, the passenger can express his/her wishes regarding special services; if these are possible, the passenger must make an additional payment. During the trip, the special services (in the appropriate foreign currency) must be paid to the guide or the representative of Goslo d.o.o., wherever these services take place.

Pricing Categories:
When booking tours, day trips or any other travel package/ Event through Goslo d.o.o. or any other licensed provider of Goslo products you will need to choose your age group, based upon which the price will be given to you. All information’s given needs to be correct and true. The age/pricing categories goes as listed below:
Infant (0-2): The category applies for all people aged between 0,1 and 2 years of age. If you are traveling with an infant please note that you need mark that when making a booking for your trip/tour. As this is essential information for all trips and tours where any type of transportation is included. If you have not chosen an infant category when booking a trip for your child that is less than 2-year-old, but still show up on the departure with an infant, we Goslo d.0.0. have the right to cancel the contract on the spot with the parent and the child. As the Slovenian law (or the law of the country where the trip/tour is being made) demands the infant seats for all infants and children. Infants are not permitted to seat on the laps of parents as they need the special seats. This is also the reason why we are charging the travel of an infant in the first place as he/she needs to have its own seat in the bus/car/van or any other transporting vehicle. If an overnight is included in the program that you are booking please note that infants will not be provided an extra bed and they are required to sleep in the same bed as parents. Special arrangements can be made for infant bed (cribs – nursery beds) if requested when the booking is being made and for a surcharge.
Children (2-12): The category applies for all people aged between 2 and 12 years of age. The same regulations as for infants apply for the children that are measuring less than 150cm in height (Please see section above). As children are entitled to some discounts for entry fees and hotel accommodation, we are more than happy to offer a discounted price for our trips and tours from children. Children will be accommodated in the same room as parents, or a connected room. They will sleep in their own beds or a pull-out bed (depends on the hotel/accommodation). If the program includes any culinary experience that includes alcohol beverages, then kids will be provided a soft drink as they are not allowed to drink alcohol beverages until they reach 18 year of age, by the Slovenian law.
Youth (12-18): The category applies for all people aged between 12 and 18 years of age. Youth children will be accommodated in their own room, or a connected room next to their parents. If the program includes any culinary experience that includes alcohol beverages, then a minor will be provided a soft drink as they are not allowed to drink alcohol beverages until they reach 18 year of age, by the Slovenian law.
