To avoid problems with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or otherwise damaged passports, such passports must be renewed; if the country applies visa requirements to citizens of the Republic of Türkiye, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility rests with the passenger.
As guests under the age of 18 traveling alone or accompanied by only one of their parents may be asked by the police officer at border entry and exit points for a document showing the joint consent of both parents, we recommend that our guests under the age of 18 and their parents pay special attention to this matter.

EXTRA TOURS & ACTIVITIES
Extra tours and activities are organized by the local agency from which we receive services, with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people, and participation is not compulsory. If sufficient numbers are not reached, the excursions may not take place, or the prices, content and vehicles used for extra tours/activities may vary depending on the number of participants. In addition, the dates and times of extra tours/activities may be changed by the guide depending on whether museums, archaeological sites or venues at the destinations are open/closed and on weather conditions.

Triple rooms may be provided subject to hotel availability, and in such rooms the bed provided for the 3rd person may be smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 additional bed.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for a destination/passport where a visa is required) does not mean that entry into the country is guaranteed. Passport control officers have the authority to refuse you entry into the country. The Agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility rests 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. There may be a risk of delays on scheduled and charter flights, or flight times may change before the existing trip and flight. The Agency is obliged to notify you of these changes as soon as possible. Our passengers have purchased the tour knowing and accepting that flight details may change. Children between 0 and 2 years of age do not pay airport taxes and airport service fees
Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours of no more than 2–3 hours, arranged for a general introduction to the cities and conducted panoramically with the guide’s narration from inside the vehicle; they do not include museum or archaeological site entrance fees. If panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, cannot take place because local authorities do not permit visits or entry on the relevant day and at the relevant time, because roads are closed due to an event, or because weather conditions make the tour impossible, the Agency is not responsible for the tours not taking place. Some tours may be conducted by public transportation or on foot, where possible, on closed roads or at points where vehicle access is not permitted.
