For destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be submitted with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will provide to you.
To avoid problems with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or otherwise damaged passports, such passports must be renewed, and if the country applies visas to citizens of the Republic of Türkiye, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger.
As guests under the age of 18 may be asked by the police officer on duty during entry to or exit from the country to present a document showing the joint consent of the parents when travelling alone or accompanied by only one of their mother or father, we recommend that our guests under the age of 18 and their parents be particularly attentive to this matter

EXTRA TOURS & ACTIVITIES
Extra tours and activities are organized by the local agency from which we receive services, with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people, and participation is not mandatory. If the required number is not reached, the excursions may not take place, or the prices, content and vehicles used for extra tours / activities may vary according to the number of participants. In addition, the days and times of extra tours / activities may be changed by the guide depending on whether the museums, archaeological sites or venues at the destinations are open/closed and on weather conditions.
ACCOMMODATION
During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events and sports tournaments, hotels may be used at distances exceeding the specified kilometres.
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 double bed and 1 extra bed. Since extra 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 lack of space in the rooms and the type of bed.
Child discounts are valid for one (1) child staying with 2 adults and falling within the age group specified in the pricing section.
Breakfasts included in the services provided in the tour programme are served in accordance with the breakfast culture of the country visited and generally consist of a limited menu of butter, jam, bread, tea or coffee, known as a continental breakfast, and may be served in a separate room allocated to the group.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for a destination/passport requiring a visa) does not mean that entry into the country will be permitted. Passport police have the authority to refuse you entry into the country. The agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.
The agency is an intermediary 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 trip and flight. The agency is obliged to notify you of these changes as soon as possible. Our passengers have purchased the tour knowing and accepting that flight details may change. Children between 0-2 years of age do not pay airport taxes and 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 the guide’s commentary from inside the vehicle, without including museum or archaeological site entrance fees. If panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the programme, cannot take place because local authorities do not permit visits to or entry into the relevant locations on the day and at the time corresponding to the tour, due to roads being closed for any event, or if it becomes impossible to conduct the tour due to weather conditions, the agency is not responsible for the inability to conduct these tours. Some tours may be conducted by public transport or on foot, where possible, at locations with closed roads or where vehicle entry is not permitted.
