What's more, take something with a cancellation option, or a small fine. And cancel upon arrival.

Good morning. The main thing upon arrival is to warn the host at the airport. That you have arrived, you are alive and well, you will fly away on time, but you will live in another place.

What will happen? - Yes, nothing will happen to you for this! Live with whoever you want. It is more profitable to cancel the reservation upon arrival and pay a fine than to pay for wasted accommodation. In your case, it is better not to buy a tour, but to book a hotel and tickets yourself.
Do you need a hotel reservation to get a visa?

Why do you need a tour at all with such plans? Take a ticket and go to your friend.

Yes, a full tour can be cheaper than a ticket when you buy it yourself.

Yes, nothing special will happen, just warn the travel agency that you will not use the hotel and transfer, otherwise they will lose it and raise a fuss.

For non-accommodation at the hotel, but when paying for it, there will definitely be nothing and cannot be. You can not warn (although this is not very correct). You will be like a tourist who has not arrived at the place. After leaving the airport, you can approach the meeting party and say that you are refusing the transfer.
Last year, 4 tourists did not arrive in Sharm. We waited for them a bit and we were taken to the hotels. But the two did not come back at the appointed time. Especially with this, no one bothers.

For Egypt, no show tourist is garbage, but in Schengen, I feel that there may be difficulties if the travel agency starts looking loudly for its client. After all, then it turns out that the tourist deliberately submitted false information about the hotel when applying for a visa.

If the tour is not group, after crossing the border - every man for himself. If a tourist screwed up, then the tourist is responsible, not the company. Usually illegal immigrants enter the country and then stay. And if the tour is a group one, many firms take away their passports (so that they don’t stay) under the pretext that tourists don’t lose the docks.
The main thing is not to violate the visa terms. And you can even spend the night on the seashore under the stars.
Previously, many travel agencies had accreditation at the consulates of the Schengen countries. But after quite numerous cases of non-return, this accreditation was canceled. Fingers and documents are submitted personally at the visa center. The company acts only as a courier (if the fingerprints are already in the database) and is not responsible for the actions of the tourist.

The guide will look for the tourist not because he is somehow especially responsible for him, but in order to avoid possible claims when the tourist then writes a complaint that he was not provided with the transfer provided for in the contract.

Why should she write? In this case, the TS needs to cross the border without any problems and meet her boyfriend.

Is it better for me to buy a tour and, upon arrival in Spain, go to this hotel and refuse it?

)) Specifically, Anastasia does not need to write a complaint, I'm talking about the logic of the travel agency, which should be warned about their plans so that they do not look for a tourist in vain.

Tell me how can I tell the travel agency that I will not stay in the hotel that is included in the tour?

You can do that too. If you allegedly did not like the hotel, you have the right to refuse and choose another one. But the cost is unlikely to be reimbursed. Or register and take the card on the first day, and give it to 12-00 on the last. In between, do whatever you want.

I don’t think it’s easier to get a visa through a travel agency, now everyone is still required to come to the visa center in person for fingerprints. Unless you save 15-20 minutes of your time filling out the questionnaire. So see what suits you best.

Is it possible, for example, to buy a tour, for example, it will include, for example, a hotel and a flight only, upon arrival, I will simply come to that hotel and refuse it? Then there will be no problems? Or is it better to tell the tour operator that if I don’t like the hotel, can I then refuse it there and check into another one? Tell me the best way to tell them

Flight + hostel or package - proceed from the price. Take what is profitable. No one is forcing you to stay in a hotel. Maybe you are on excursions all the time?!.

Hospadi, tell the travel agency as it is, everything is fine. You can refuse a tour package from anything, but you still have to pay for these services. If it's a tour package, pay for the full tour package. If it’s cheaper not as a package, but separately for a ticket and a hotel, then it will be like an individual tour without a transfer and insurance (if you already have insurance).

There is no need to warn the hotel, they don't care. You should notify the travel agency.

If you do not intend to seek a refund for a hotel you did not like, just refuse right at the meeting guide upon arrival. They won't force you anywhere. Just say that you met friends, they will take you by car and you will live with them. Printout of tickets in your hands. There shouldn't be any problem.
