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 sufficient numbers are not reached, excursions cannot be carried out, or the prices, content, and vehicles 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 whether the museums, historical sites, or venues in the places to be visited are open/closed 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 specified km.

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/collapsible or coach beds, participants making 3rd person and/or child reservations are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible congestion in the room 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 taken at hotels included in the tour program are served in accordance with the breakfast culture of the country, usually as a limited menu commonly referred to as continental breakfast, consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee, and may be served in a separate hall allocated to the group for groups.

CURRENCY    

Japan's currency is the Yen (JPY). South Korea's currency is the KRW. For this trip, we recommend bringing USD with you and also having small denominations of it with you.

TIME ZONE     

There is a +6 hour difference between Turkey and both countries. When it is 12.00 in Turkey, it is 18.00 in the countries we will travel to.

PHONE USAGE    

All mobile phone operators can be used if your phone has international roaming enabled. However, there may be no network in some parts of the country.

CLOTHING AND NECESSARY ITEMS  

We recommend bringing T-shirts that are easy to put on and take off, short- and long-sleeved shirts, cotton pants, comfortable walking shoes, and a light jacket or cardigan. We advise choosing non-synthetic, cotton clothing. You may also bring a raincoat and umbrella in case of rain. In addition, you may also bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, earplugs against possible noise, a camera, a video camera, their chargers, and spare memory cards.

FOOD CULTURE          

The cuisine in the region is dominated by Far Eastern food culture. We recommend that you do not buy anything from street vendors. In addition, you will notice that the meals we will have in the restaurants and hotels we visit will suit your taste.

SHOPPING          

Both countries are a complete shopping paradise, especially when it comes to electronics. In addition, traditional clothing and souvenirs can be purchased.

IMPORTANT NOTES            

Having a valid passport and/or a visa (for destinations/passports requiring a visa) does not 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. There may be a risk of delay on scheduled and special flights, or times may change before the current trip and flight. 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 of up to 2-3 hours, organized for the general introduction of the cities and carried out panoramically from inside the vehicle with guide commentary, without museum or site entrance fees. The agency is not responsible for the inability to carry out panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, if they do not take place on the day and time scheduled in the tour because local authorities do not allow visits or access, or because of roads closed due to any event, and likewise in cases where weather conditions make the tour impossible. Some tours may be carried out by public transport or on foot where possible due to closed roads or points where vehicle access is not allowed.
