Optional tours and activities are organized by the local agency we receive service from with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people, and there is no obligation to participate. If the required number is not reached, the excursions may not take place, or the prices, content, and vehicle to be used for optional tours/activities may vary depending on 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, ruins, or venues in the destinations 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 indicated km. 

3-person rooms may be provided depending on hotel availability, and the bed provided for 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 folding beds or coach beds, participants booking as the 3rd person and/or child are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible cramped conditions in the rooms and the bed type. 

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

Breakfasts included among the services in the tour program are served in accordance with the breakfast culture of the country you are in and are generally offered as a limited menu, referred to as continental breakfast, consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea or coffee, and may be served for groups in a separate hall allocated to the group.

TIME ZONE

Germany, Austria, Czechia, and Hungary are 3 hours behind Turkey in daylight saving time and 2 hours behind in winter time. For example, when it is 18:30 in Turkey in summer, it is 15:30 in Germany.

CLOTHING AND NECESSARY ITEMS

If traveling in the summer season, we recommend bringing T-shirts, short- and long-sleeved shirts, cotton trousers, shorts, comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket and a light sweater for the evenings. In addition, you may bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, earplugs against possible noise, a camera, video camera, and their chargers and spare memory cards. In the winter period, we recommend clothing that allows comfortable movement and keeps you warm.

FOOD CULTURE

When German food culture is mentioned, cakes, potatoes, and of course beer first come to mind. In this culture, which has a wide variety of meat and vegetables, there is also a great variety of beer and wine.

The flavors and ingredients in Austrian cuisine have largely been inherited from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its best-known dish is schnitzel, and meat dishes are predominant.

Czech cuisine has been influenced by all the surrounding countries and is a true Central European synthesis.

Hungarian cuisine, considered among the world’s most important cuisines, is quite colorful and rich. Meat dishes are common, and freshly made homemade pasta is also an important element of the cuisine. The Hungarian national dish, “Goulash,” is among the best-known delicacies. 

IMPORTANT NOTES

Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for a destination/passport requiring a visa) does not necessarily mean that entry into the country will be granted. The passport police have the authority to deny you entry 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 Hague Protocol dated 28.09.1955. Delays may occur on scheduled and special flights, or the times before the current trip and flight may change. The agency 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. 

The panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours organized for the general introduction of the cities and carried out panoramically with narration by the guide from the vehicle, lasting at most 2-3 hours and not including museum or archaeological site entries. Panoramic tours, including the other tours specified in the program, if they do not take place on the day and at the time of the tour due to places or roads closed by local authorities because they are not permitted to be visited or entered, or for any event, or if the tour becomes impossible due to weather conditions, the agency is not responsible for the inability to carry out the said tours. Some tours may be conducted by public transport or on foot where possible at closed roads or points where vehicle access is not permitted.
