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 end date of travel and not older than 10 years.

In destinations where a visa is required, 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 it is a country that applies visas to T.C. citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger.

Since our guests under 18 traveling alone or with only one of their parents may be asked by the border police to present a document showing the parents' mutual consent, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents be careful about this matter.

HEALTH

There is no vaccination requirement for entry into Europe. We do not think you will encounter any problem that may threaten your health with meals to be taken at 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, that you definitely consume bottled water, avoid ice, milk and dairy products, and consume meat and fish products that you are sure are well cooked; for fruit, we recommend eating fruits that can be peeled, such as bananas and pineapples.

OPTIONAL TOURS & ACTIVITIES

Optional tours and activities are organized by the local agency from which we receive service, with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people, and there is no obligation to participate. If sufficient numbers are not met, the excursions cannot be held, or the prices, content, and vehicle to be 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 according to the opening/closing status of museums, archaeological sites, or venues in the places to be visited, as well as weather conditions.

ACCOMMODATION

During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be used at distances greater than those specified in kilometers.

3-person rooms may be provided depending on hotel availability, and the bed provided to the 3rd person in such rooms may be smaller than standard beds. 3-person rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 extra bed. Since extra beds are foldable beds and coach beds, participants are deemed to have accepted the possible cramped conditions in the rooms and the bed type in 3rd person and/or child reservations.

Child discounts are valid for one (1) child only who stays with 2 adults and falls within 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Having a valid passport and/or a visa (for a destination/passport requiring a visa) does not necessarily mean that you will be allowed to enter the country. The passport police have the authority to refuse your entry 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 Hague Protocol dated 28.09.1955. There may be a risk of delays on scheduled and special flights, or the times may change before the current trip and flight. 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 service fees

Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours of up to 2-3 hours, organized for the general introduction of the cities and conducted panoramically from the vehicle with guide commentary, not including museum or archaeological site entries. Bin Rota is not responsible if panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, cannot take place on the day and time scheduled for the tour, due to roads closed by local authorities or because permission is not granted to visit or enter, or when the tour becomes impossible due to weather conditions. Some tours may be conducted by public transportation or on foot, where possible, at points where roads are closed or vehicle entry is not permitted.
