You must have a passport valid for 6 months from the end date of the trip 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. To avoid any 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 a visa to Turkish Republic citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since our guests under the age of 18 traveling alone or with only one of their parents may be asked by the border police for a document showing the mutual consent of the parents, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents be sensitive about this issue.

Optional Tours & Activities

Optional tours and activities are organized by the local agency we receive service from with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people, and participation is not mandatory. If the required number is not reached, the trips cannot be carried out, or the optional tour/activity prices, content, and vehicle 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 depending on the opening/closing status of museums, ruins, or venues in the destinations to be visited and on weather conditions.

Accommodation

During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be used farther than the distances specified in kilometers. Triple rooms are 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 beds or coach beds, participants making reservations for a 3rd person and/or a child are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible cramped space in the rooms and the bed type. 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 among the services in the tour program are served at the hotel in accordance with the breakfast culture of the country and generally with a limited menu called continental breakfast, consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee, and may be served for groups in a separate hall allocated to the group.

Important Notes

Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for a visa-required destination/passport) does not mean that entry into the country will be allowed. The passport police have the authority to refuse you 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 delay on scheduled and special flights, or 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 cities and conducted panoramically from inside the vehicle with guide narration, without museum or site entrance fees. Bin Rota is not responsible for the inability to carry out the aforementioned tours, including the other tours specified in the program, if they cannot take place on the day and time of the tour due to restrictions by local authorities, such as places that are not allowed to be visited or entered, or due to closed roads because of any event, or when weather conditions make the tour impossible. Some tours may be carried out by public transportation or on foot, if possible, at points where roads are closed or vehicle entry is not allowed.
