Reservations are considered effective as soon as the client receives the confirmation voucher and not the payment receipt sent by Localers.

It is the only proof of payment/identification that Localers will accept.
Once the payment is authorized by the client’s bank and that the service is confirmed by Localers, a confirmation voucher will be sent to the client. This confirmation voucher contains all the details of the purchase (reservation status, tour name, time, number of participants, meeting point).
In case the voucher is lost, the client must contact Localers to be issued a new voucher.
