GENERAL TERMS
1- General Terms are an integral part of the tour program and cannot be considered independently from the tour program.
2- If sufficient participation for the trip is not provided, the Agency can cancel the tour up to 21 days prior to the departure date. In such a case, cancellation information will be communicated to the guest. The full amount of the tour fee will be refunded to the guest. For additional services purchased outside the tour; if the domestic flight connection purchased from the Agency is canceled by the Agency, it will also be refunded, while visa services, travel health insurance that have been used to apply for a visa on behalf of the guest cannot be refunded as these services are deemed used. If the guest has purchased a domestic flight connection from a different provider independent of the Agency, in the event of cancellation by the Agency, the guest cannot claim any refund from the Agency. The guest accepts in advance that the Agency cannot be held responsible for any financial or moral losses arising from the cancellation of the tour.
3- If sufficient participation is not provided for the trip, the Agency has the right to show goodwill by not canceling the tour. In this case, since the tour will be provided individually for the guest, the guiding service included in the package will only cover the international round-trip airport transfer.
Cancellation and Changes
4- In our tours, tickets for transportation are arranged at the time of booking. For cancellations made more than 30 days before the tour departure date, the ticket fees for these flights, for which no rights to cancellation & changes and refunds exist, will be reflected as a penalty.
5- Guests have the right to cancel without penalty by notifying the Agency in writing up to 30 days prior to the tour departure date, except for the airline tickets that have been paid to the airline and/or committed to by the Agency. In case of less than 31 days remaining to the start date of the tour, the guest can cancel by paying a penalty fee of 50% of the tour fee from the remaining flight ticket price, and in case of 15 days or less remaining to the tour start date, the guest can cancel by paying the full amount as a penalty fee. If a cancellation is requested, the refund conditions for additional services such as domestic flight connections, visa services, and travel health insurance may vary based on the cancellation request time, so it is necessary to inquire about refunds in advance. The Agency cannot make any commitment regarding the cancellation or refund of additional services.
Guiding Services and Optional Tours
6- The days and hours of the tours specified in the program may be changed by the guide according to the opening/closing status of the museums and historical sites at the places to be visited, and weather conditions. Different guides may accompany our guests during the tours.
7- Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are conducted for the general introduction of the cities and are maximum 2-3 hours tours made with narration by the guide from the vehicle and do not include entrance fees for museums or historical sites. In the event that panoramic tours do not take place due to local authorities not allowing visits on those days and times, or road closures due to any events, or due to weather conditions making the tour impractical, the Agency cannot be held responsible for the non-fulfillment of these tours. Some tours may be conducted using public transport or on-foot in locations where access is restricted.
8- Our guide may change the days of optional tours and/or city tours based on the content of our tours, the number of participants, and the status of the museum and historical site openings. This applies as well to any changes that may occur in flight schedules.

The fulfillment of these requests depends on the availability at the time of check-in and cannot be guaranteed by the Agency.
28- The breakfast offered at hotels differs from the rich traditional Turkish breakfast. It generally consists of limited options and is served as a continental breakfast, usually comprising butter, jam, bread, tea or coffee, and may be served in a separate hall designated for the group.

In such cases, the responsibility lies with the guest who made the incorrect declaration. The hotel may request identification for children's age verification.
35- In reservations for 2 adults + 1 child, there may not be a separate bed for the child. Child prices are valid only if the child is accompanied by two adults. Child discounts are applicable for the specific age group that corresponds to “one child” staying alongside two adults.
36- Currency exchange during the day is reflected in TL prices. The rates at the time of payment are valid. Additional requests, certain extra services you may receive at the hotel (minibar, ironing, etc.) will be subject to extra charges by the hotel. These expenses are not included in the price at the time of purchase and are to be paid directly to the hotel during your stay.
37- Some countries may have different applications regarding city, tourism, or local taxes. All types of city, tourism, or other taxes applied in this way will be collected by the hotel from the guest during check-in or check-out.

2- To have an entry-exit stamp at customs crossings/border gates, there must be at least 2 blank pages in your passport.
3- Being exempt from or having obtained a visa for entry into the countries on this tour does not guarantee entry/exit from the country, as the passport police have the authority to deny your entry/existence in the country. The responsibility in this case lies with the passenger.
4- Guests who are not Turkish citizens or have dual citizenship and intend to participate in the tour using their other citizenship passport must personally inquire about the visa procedures applicable by the country to which they will travel; the Agency will not be responsible for the results of any failure to do so.
5- To avoid issues with customs police at the border of the country to be visited regarding torn, worn, wet, or similarly damaged passports, passports should be renewed. Otherwise, the responsibility lies with the passenger.
6- Guests under the age of 18 should be aware that when traveling alone or with only one parent, customs officials may request a document showing the consent of both parents for entry/exiting the country; therefore, it is advisable for 18-year-old guests and their parents to pay attention to this matter.
