OPTIONAL TOURS & ACTIVITIES

Optional tours and activities are organized by the local agency we work with with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people, and participation is not mandatory. If the required number is not reached, the tours may not be held, 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 the opening/closing status of museums, archaeological sites, or venues at the places to be visited, and according to weather conditions.

ACCOMMODATION

During fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be used at a distance greater than the stated km. 

Triple rooms may be provided depending on the availability of the hotels, 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 folding or coach beds, participants are deemed to have accepted the possible cramped conditions in the rooms and the bed type for reservations of 3rd person and/or children. 

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 in the tour program and taken at hotels are served according to 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 for groups in a separate hall allocated to the group.

TIME ZONE

Germany, Austria, Czechia, and Hungary are 3 hours behind Turkey in summer 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 that can be easily put on and taken off, short- and long-sleeved shirts, cotton pants, shorts, comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket for the evenings, and a thin sweater. In addition, you may also bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, earplugs against possible noise, a camera, a video camera, and their chargers and spare memory cards. In winter, we recommend clothing that allows comfortable movement and keeps you warm.

CUISINE CULTURE

When German cuisine is mentioned, cakes, potatoes, and of course beer come to mind first. In this cuisine, which has a wide variety of meat and vegetable dishes, there is also a very rich selection of beers and wines. 

The flavors and ingredients in Austrian cuisine are largely inherited from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its best-known dish is schnitzel, and it is mainly meat-based. 

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

Hungarian cuisine, regarded as one of 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. “Goulash,” considered the Hungarian ազգային dish, is among the best-known delicacies. 

SHOPPING

There are shopping malls in city centers and small stalls selling souvenirs.

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 allowed. The passport police have the authority not to let you into the country. The agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility lies with the passenger.  

The agency is an intermediary between the airline and the passenger and is subject to the Hague Protocol of 28.09.1955.

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 maximum 2-3 hours, organized for the general introduction of the cities and conducted panoramically from inside the vehicle with guide narration, without museum or archaeological site entrances. The agency is not responsible for the failure of such tours to take place when, including other tours specified in the program, they are not permitted by local authorities on the day and time of the tour, or when they cannot be carried out due to closed roads caused by any event, or when weather conditions make the tour impossible. Some tours may be carried out by public transportation or on foot where possible in areas with closed roads or where vehicle access is not permitted.
