VISA
Passport Type Visa Status
Ordinary Passport Visa required
Green Passport Visa not required
Service Passport Visa not required
You must have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months from the end date of the trip and is no more than 10 years old.
For destinations requiring a visa, a visa application must be submitted with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for a Visa” list that your agency will provide. To avoid problems with customs police at the border crossing when using passports that are torn, worn, wet and/or damaged in a similar manner, such passports must be renewed, and any visa must be transferred to the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger.
We recommend that guests under the age of 18 exercise the necessary care in this regard, as they may be asked by police officers at country entry and exit points for a document showing the joint consent of their parents if they are traveling alone or accompanied by only one of their mother or father.
HEALTH
We do not anticipate any problems that would threaten your health with the meals served at good restaurants and hotels in the region. However, it is important to be careful about eating and drinking during times when you are not with the group.
We strongly recommend consuming bottled water, avoiding ice, milk and dairy products, choosing meat and fish products that you are certain have been thoroughly cooked, and preferring fruits such as bananas and pineapples that can be peeled.
Current vaccination/PCR rules must be followed when entering the country and returning home.

OPTIONAL TOURS & ACTIVITIES
Optional tours and activities are organized by the local agency from which we receive services, with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people. Participation is not mandatory. If sufficient numbers are not reached, the excursions cannot be organized. The prices, content and vehicles used for optional tours and activities may vary depending on the number of participants.
In addition, the dates and times of optional tours/activities may be changed by the guide depending on whether the museums, archaeological sites or venues at the destinations are open or closed, as well as weather conditions.
ACCOMMODATION
During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events and sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be used at distances exceeding the specified kilometers. Triple rooms may be provided depending on hotel availability, and the bed provided for the 3rd person in such rooms may be smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 additional bed. Since additional beds consist of beds referred to as folding beds and coach beds, participants making reservations for the 3rd person and/or children are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible cramped conditions and bed type in the rooms. Child discounts are valid for one (1) child staying with 2 adults and belonging to the age group specified in the pricing section. Breakfasts included in the tour program and served at the hotel are offered in accordance with the breakfast culture of the country visited, generally as a limited menu consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea or coffee, and may be served in a separate room allocated to the group.
CURRENCY
The currency of Europe is the Euro (EUR).
It is advisable to carry Euros (EUR) with you.
TIME ZONE
Germany, Austria and Czechia are 1 hour behind Turkey during daylight saving time and 2 hours behind during standard time. For example, when it is 18:30 in Turkey in summer, it is 17:30 in Germany.
PHONE USE
Your mobile phone line can be used if it is enabled for international calls (roaming).
CLOTHING AND NECESSARY ITEMS
If traveling during the summer season, we recommend bringing easily removable T-shirts, short- and long-sleeved shirts, cotton trousers, shorts, comfortable walking shoes, and a light jacket and thin sweater for the evenings. In addition, you may bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, earplugs in case of possible noise, a camera, video camera, their chargers and spare memory cards. During the winter, we recommend clothing that allows you to move comfortably and keeps you warm.
FOOD CULTURE
When German food culture is mentioned, cakes, potatoes and, of course, beer come to mind first. In this culture, which offers a wide variety of meat and vegetables, there is also a considerable variety of beers and wines.
The flavors and ingredients of Austrian cuisine were largely inherited from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its best-known dish is schnitzel, and meat dishes are predominant.
Czech cuisine has been influenced by all the countries surrounding it and is a complete synthesis of Central Europe.
ELECTRICITY
Electrical outlets are the same as in Turkey.
SHOPPING
There are shopping opportunities in shopping centers located in city centers and at small stalls selling souvenirs.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for destinations/passports where a visa is required) does not mean that entry into the country is guaranteed. Passport police have the authority to refuse you entry into the country. Quheilan Tour is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger. Quheilan Tour is an intermediary institution between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the Hague Protocol of 28.09.1955. There may be a risk of delays on scheduled and charter flights, or flight times may change before the existing tour and flight. Quheilan Tour is obliged to notify you of these changes as soon as possible. Our passengers purchased the tour knowing and accepting that flight details may change. Children between 0 and 2 years of age do not pay airport taxes or airport service fees. Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours lasting no more than 2–3 hours, organized for a general introduction to the cities and conducted panoramically with guide narration from inside the vehicle; they do not include museum or archaeological site admissions. If panoramic tours, including the other tours specified in the program, cannot take place because local authorities do not permit visiting or entering the relevant places on the corresponding day and time, or because roads are closed due to any event, and likewise when weather conditions make it impossible to conduct the tour, Quheilan Tour is not responsible for the inability to operate these tours. Some tours may be conducted by public transportation or on foot, where possible, on roads that are closed or at points where vehicle access is not permitted.
Our recommendation for an evening activity in Prague is the Czech Night Event; enjoy a magnificent dinner at one of the city's finest restaurants accompanied by local dance performances, and have the chance to become better acquainted with Czech folk dances, music and musical instruments. Another evening activity recommendation in Prague, one of Europe's most beautiful capitals, is a boat tour on the Vltava River, famous for its canals that divide the city in two and bring it to life, where you can watch daytime and nighttime views of the fairytale city of Prague.
In Vienna, the capital of art, you can attend the Vienna Concert Event as an evening activity. You will experience an unforgettable night at this concert event, featuring the salon orchestra that has made Vienna known throughout the world, magnificent soloists and waltzes you will never tire of watching.
