PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT

VISA

Ordinary Passport  -  Visa required                      

Green Passport      -  Visa not required

Service Passport -  Visa not required  

You must have a passport valid for 6 months from the date of return from travel and not older than 10 years.

For destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be made with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will provide to you for the visa application.

In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports; such passports must be renewed and, if the country applies visas to T.C. citizens, the relevant visa must be on the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger.

As there is a possibility that our guests under the age of 18 traveling alone or with only one of their parents may be asked for a document showing the joint consent of the parents by the police officer on duty at the country entry-exit points; we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents be sensitive about this matter.

HEALTH

There is no vaccination requirement for entry into Europe. We do not think there will be any problem threatening your health with the meals to be taken in the region's good restaurants and hotels. However, when you are not with the group, we recommend that you be careful about food and drink, absolutely consume bottled water, avoid ice, milk and dairy products, consume meat and fish products that you are sure are well cooked, and for fruit, eat fruits that can be peeled such as bananas and pineapples.

OPTIONAL TOURS  & ACTIVITIES

Optional tours and activities are organized by the local agency we use with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people, and participation is not mandatory. If sufficient numbers are not met, the excursions cannot be carried out or optional tour / activity prices, content, and the vehicle to be used may vary according to the number of participants. In addition, the days and times of optional tours / activities may be changed by the guide according to the open/closed status of museums, ruins, or venues at the destinations to be visited and weather conditions.

ACCOMMODATION

During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be used farther than the specified km distances.

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 foldable or coach beds, participants making 3rd person and/or child reservations are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible cramped conditions in the rooms and the type of bed.

Child discounts are valid only for one (1) child staying with 2 adults and matching the age group specified in the pricing section.

Breakfasts included in the tour program and taken at the hotel are served in line with the breakfast culture of the country you are in 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Having a valid passport and/or a visa obtained (for the destination/passport requiring a visa) does not mean that entry into the country is guaranteed. The passport police have the authority not to allow you into the country. Bin Rota is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.

BinRota is an intermediary institution between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the 28.09.1955 Hague Protocol. There may be a risk of delay on scheduled and special flights, or the times before the current trip and flight may change. BinRota is obliged to notify 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 services fees

Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours organized for the general introduction of the cities and carried out panoramically with commentary from inside the vehicle, lasting at most 2-3 hours and not including museum or historical site entrance fees. Bin Rota is not responsible for the non-performance of panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, if they cannot be carried out on the day and at the time of the tour due to reasons such as local authorities not allowing visits or entry, or due to closed roads because of any event, or when the tour becomes impossible due to weather conditions. Some tours may be carried out by public transport or on foot where possible at closed roads or points where vehicle entry is not allowed..
