OPTIONAL TOURS & ACTIVITIES
Optional tours and activities are organized by the local agency we receive service from with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people, and participation is not mandatory. If the sufficient number is not reached, excursions cannot be carried out, or the prices, content, and vehicle used for optional tours/activities may vary according to the number of participants. In addition, the days and times of optional tours/activities may be changed by the guide depending on the open/closed status of museums, ruins, or venues in the places to be visited, and according to weather conditions.
ACCOMMODATION
During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be used at distances greater than the specified km.
Triple rooms may be provided depending on hotel availability, and the bed offered to the 3rd person in such rooms may be smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 extra bed. Since extra beds are composed of foldable beds and so-called coach beds, participants are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible tightness in the rooms and the bed type in 3rd person and/or child reservations.
Child discounts are valid for only one (1) child staying with 2 adults and matching the age group specified in the pricing section.
Breakfasts taken at the hotel from the services included in the tour program are served in accordance with the breakfast culture of the country visited and generally with a limited menu called continental breakfast, consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee, and may be served in a separate hall allocated to the group.
TIME ZONE
France is 1 hour behind Turkey in summer time and 2 hours behind in winter time.
For example, when it is 18:30 in Turkey in summer, it is 17:30 in Germany.
CLOTHING AND ESSENTIAL ITEMS
If traveling in the summer season, we recommend bringing t-shirts that can be easily put on and taken off, short- and long-sleeved shirts, cotton trousers, shorts, comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket for the evenings, and a thin sweater. In addition, you may also bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, earplugs against possible noise, a camera, a video camera, their chargers, and spare memory cards. In the winter period, we recommend clothes that allow you to move comfortably and keep you warm.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Having a valid passport and/or a visa obtained (for visa-required destinations/passports) does not mean that entry into the country is guaranteed. Passport police have the authority not to let you into the country. The agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.
The agency is an intermediary institution between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the 28.09.1955 Hague Protocol. On scheduled and special flights, there may be a risk of delay, or the times may change before the current trip and flight. The agency is obliged to inform these changes as soon as possible. Our passengers have purchased the tour knowing and accepting that flight details may change. Children aged 0-2 do not pay airport tax and airport service fees.
The panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours organized for the general introduction of cities and carried out panoramically from inside the vehicle with guide commentary, lasting at most 2-3 hours, excluding museum and archaeological site entrance fees. The agency is not responsible for the inability to carry out the aforementioned tours in the event that panoramic tours, including the other tours specified in the program, cannot be held on the day and at the time matching the tour due to roads closed by local authorities, or if they are not permitted to be visited or entered, or if they cannot be carried out due to weather conditions. Some tours may be carried out by public transportation or on foot where possible at closed roads or points where vehicle access is not permitted.
