Financial protection

The money you send us is safe: the German Travel Regulations (§ 651k BGB) require us to provide security for the money that you pay us in the rare event of insolvency from our side. Besides the very fact that we are obliged by law to do that, bonding and safeguarding our clients' money constitutes a fundamental principle of our business ethics too.

All funds paid to Gianluca Pardelli Einzelunternehmen (Geschäftsbezeichnung: Soviet Tours; Tax Nr. St.-Nr. 14/466/02688; VAT Nr. USt-IdNr. DE326964370) either as deposits or as payments for trips are kept in a secure business account held in a regulated bank in Germany.

Furthermore, as prescribed by German Law (Insolvenzversicherungspflicht für Reiseveranstalter und Absicherung der Kundengelder), we are fully covered by an insolvency insurance (German: Insolvenzversicherung) provided by R+V Versicherung AG, one of the largest insurance companies in Germany. This means that even in the extremely rare event we will have to declare bankruptcy, your money will be reimbursed to you in full and potential debts we’ll owe to hypothetical creditors won’t affect such refund.

This arrangement satisfies the legislative requirements that need to be made to meet European Union Council Directive 90/314/EEC.
