Questions:
What treatments can I get at the
spas?
It depends on your personal needs and will be
decided after the consultation with the SPA DOCTOR. He or she will prescribe
a customized treatment protocol after the examination and consultation with
you.
Can I select what treatments I want to
include in my spa package?
Yes you can together with the doctor. Depending on your personal situation
the doctor and you together will decide on the treatment plan. Upon arrival
before you can start your treatment protocol you will be seen by a spa
doctor specialist. They speak English and other languages. You can tell your
complaints so the doctor can prescribe the best treatment plan for your
condition.
What if I do not have a medical condition?
You can still benefit from the treatments. Massages, different types of
baths, ozone and the different type of water treatments are all useful for
general rejuvenation, stress relieve. Bathing in the thermal waters high in
trace elements is excellent for detoxification. The drinking cures help you
with intestinal cleansing and digestion. All of our spas are located in
relaxing and serene surroundings where the environment will also contribute
for improvement of your general well-being.
Are all treatments medical?
No, in addition to the treatments that are part of your spa package, you can
also order additional "fancy" and beauty treatments like facials, shiatsu,
watsu and other type of massages locally. Some spas offer in-house cosmetic
surgeries and dental work or can refer you to the best local clinique. Why not try a general makeover while on a
relaxing holiday?

will be given more treatments. Usually the average number of treatmnet per
day is around 2 or 3 in addition to the drinking cure or diet plan.

In what currencies are the tours/packages
listed on the website?
Most of them are listed in Euros since all European suppliers accept
payments only in Euros.
The top left hand box of each price chart indicates that the prices are in
Euros or US dollars. As you will notice, there is a little star beside the
US$ sign. If you scroll down below the price chart, you will find the
explanation. * means, US dollar rate varies depending on the exchange rate.
There are minor variations in the US$ price from day-to-day. Right now 1
euro = 1.3 US$
What other currencies can I use for
payment?
We also accept Canadian dollars. If the payment is by credit card, the
credit card companies automatically convert the funds for you into your

around 2-2.5%. You can check the exact percentage by phoning your credit
card company.

including registration and tax account numbers. All vouchers show the
contacts of the local hotels/spas and other suppliers with contact names

government tourist boards or consulates as well as the main phone number of
the travel agency licensing office. We are not allowed to give out private
passengers' phone numbers. You can also check our
testimonials
page or the
about us page
How can I make sure I read the rates
correctly?
All rates for all packages are listed per person based on 2 people sharing
the room. If you travel alone single rate applies. You have to look for the
double rate if you have 2 people in your party, and for the triple rate if
there are 3 of you. Most times cost varies depending on seasonalities. All
price charts give rates for all seasons usually for a one-year period. Rates
are usually listed as one price per season with single supplement specified
as an extra cost. If something is not clear, please send us an email or call
us toll free at
1 800 838 6860 Monday-Friday. We are closed on Saturdays and Sundays
What exactly is the single supplement?
The published rate of a package is always calculated per person but
based on 2 people sharing the same room throughout the stay. Single
supplement is an additional cost on top of the package rate that single
people who wish to stay in a single room during the duration of the trip
would have to pay.
E.g. Tour rate is listed as euro 1000, single supplement as euro 200. It
means if you are traveling alone on this tour, you pay euro 1200. However,
if a friend joins you, you would only have to pay euro 1000. Your friend
also pays the same amount.
Can I avoid paying the single supplement
if I am willing to share my room with an other single person on the tour?
No, we do not handle single matching. We do not know the tour members
personally. We are not aware of their sleeping or washroom habits and do not
wish to disappoint our clients with incompatible roommates. We suggest you
travel with a friend or family member if you wish to avoid paying for the
single supplement.
