PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT
This trip is organized with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people. If sufficient participation is not achieved, the final cancellation notification date is 20 days before the start of the tour. A tour cancelled due to insufficient participation will be notified to you through your agency.
VISA
Ordinary Passport Visa required
Green Passport Visa required
Service Passport Visa required
You must have a passport valid for 6 months from the end date of the trip and not older than 10 years.
For destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be submitted with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for a Visa” list that your agency will provide to you.
In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border crossing 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 lies with the passenger.
As guests under the age of 18 may be asked by the police officer on duty at entry and exit points to provide a document showing the joint consent of the parents when travelling alone or with only one of their parents, we recommend that our guests under the age of 18 and their parents be sensitive about this matter.
HEALTH
We do not think you will encounter any health-threatening problems with the meals served at good restaurants and hotels in the region. Nevertheless, we recommend that you be careful about eating and drinking when you are not with the group, consume only bottled water, avoid ice, milk and dairy products, eat meat and fish products that you are sure have been well cooked, and choose 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 we receive services from, with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people, and participation is not mandatory. If sufficient numbers are not reached, the excursions may not take place, or optional tour/activity prices, content and vehicles to be used 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 or closed and on weather conditions.
ACCOMMODATION
During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events and sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be used at distances greater than the specified kilometres.
Triple rooms may be provided depending on hotel availability, and the bed offered to the third 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 known as folding beds and coach beds, participants making reservations for a third person and/or children are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible lack of space in the rooms and the bed type.
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 provided in accordance with the breakfast culture of the country visited, generally as a limited menu consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea or coffee, known as a continental breakfast, and may be served in a separate room allocated to the group.
CURRENCY
It is advisable to carry American Dollars (USD) with you.
TIME ZONE
The Western United States is 10 hours behind Türkiye during daylight saving time and 11 hours behind during winter time.
For example, when it is 16:30 in Türkiye in winter, it is 06:30 in the Western United States.
USE OF TELEPHONES
Your mobile phone line can be used if it is enabled for international calls (roaming).
CLOTHING AND NECESSARY ITEMS
If you are travelling during the summer season, we recommend bringing easily removable T-shirts, short- and long-sleeved shirts, cotton trousers, shorts, comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket and a 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 period, we recommend clothing that allows you to move comfortably and keeps you warm.
FOOD CULTURE
The country does not have a cuisine unique to itself, and a fast-food-oriented culture predominates. However, you can find many culinary traditions in the states. Although Chinese cuisine is widespread, you can find Turkish cuisine in many states. Although there is no distinctive food culture, its cuisine incorporates many cultures.
ELECTRICITY
The electrical current used in the United States is 110 volts, while in Türkiye it is 220 volts. We recommend carrying a plug adapter with you.
SHOPPING
Shopping is possible at shopping centres located in city centres and small businesses selling souvenirs.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for destinations/passports requiring a visa) does not mean that you will be allowed to enter the country. Passport control officers have the authority to refuse you entry to the country. The agency is not responsible for this; responsibility lies with the passenger.
The agency acts as 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 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 a maximum of 2–3 hours, organized for a general introduction to the cities and conducted panoramically with the guide's narration from inside the vehicle; they do not include museum or archaeological-site entrance fees. If panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, cannot take place because local authorities do not permit visits to or entry into the relevant places on the day and at the time of the tour, because roads are closed due to an event, or when weather conditions make it impossible to conduct the tour, the agency is not responsible for the inability to carry out these tours. Some tours may be conducted by public transport or on foot, where possible, at locations with closed roads or where vehicle access is not permitted.
