Triple rooms may be provided depending on hotel availability, and in such rooms the bed assigned to the 3rd person is smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed + 1 extra bed. Since extra beds are foldable/portable and coach beds, the tour participant is deemed to have accepted the possible cramped conditions in the rooms and the bed type in 3rd person and/or child reservations.

The 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, excluding museum and archaeological site entrance fees. Panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, are not the responsibility of Lidya Tour if they cannot be carried out on the day and time coinciding with the tour because local authorities do not allow visits or entry, or because of closed roads due to any event, or if weather conditions make the tour impossible. Some tours may be conducted by public transportation or on foot where possible at closed roads or points where vehicle entry is not permitted.
Extra tours are organized by the local agency we receive service from, with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people. If the required number is not reached, the excursions cannot be carried out, or the prices, content, and vehicle used for extra excursions may vary depending on the number of participants. In addition, the days and times of the tours may be changed by the guide according to the opening/closing status of the museums and archaeological sites to be visited and weather conditions.
Extra tours are optional and not mandatory. Passengers who do not wish to participate in the extra tours organized during the tour are deemed to have accepted waiting at a suitable rest stop along the route.
