Secure Bookings

Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name and address, so that it cannot be read as it is sent via the Internet.

Payment security

Bank Transfer               or

Credit card using the Gestpay System of Banca Sella SpA.:
Accepted credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express


Artviva - The Original & Best Walking Tours will not gain any access whatsoever to your credit card details since data transmission takes place directly with the bank's server (in this case, the server of Banca Sella www.sella.it).
We only receive confirmation of your payment directly from the Bank.

GestPay: a system for making online payments that gives top priority to the security of online transactions so that customers can feel confident that their personal data is protected when transmitted over the Internet and traders feel protected against the risk of fraud.

SSL3 protocol using 128-bit encryption
All data transmitted between the customer's browser and the bank's server is encrypted for security purposes using SSL3 and 128-bit encryption
(currently the highest level of security available complete with server certificate).

Encryption parameters
As the parameters transmitted via the customer's browser are encrypted using high-security algorithms,
the customer has no way of interfering with the dialogue between the trader (Artviva - The Original & Best Walking Tours) and the Bank.
