IMPORTANT NOTES

Our tour program is arranged with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people. If sufficient participation is not achieved for the trip, the final cancellation notice date is 20 days before the tour departure. Canceled tours due to insufficient participation will be notified to you through your agency.

In cases where there is not enough participation but the tour is still operated, English guidance may be provided.

When only category information is given without specifying a name in the tour program and/or there are options for the same destination, the hotel(s) will be notified by your agency 48 hours before the trip departure.

During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be used at distances greater than the stated km. In such a case, you will be informed by your agency 15 days before the tour departure date.

Triple rooms may be provided depending on hotel availability, and in such rooms the bed allocated to the 3rd person is smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed + 1 extra bed. Since the extra beds are folding beds and coach beds, participants of the tour are deemed to have accepted the possible cramped conditions in the rooms and the bed type for 3rd person and/or child reservations. Child discounts apply only to a single child staying with 2 adults and matching the relevant age group.

Breakfasts included among the services in the tour program are served in accordance with the breakfast culture of the country visited and are generally offered as a limited menu called continental breakfast, consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea or coffee, and may be served in a separate hall allocated to the group for groups.

The panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours arranged for the general introduction of the cities and last at most 2-3 hours, conducted panoramically from inside the vehicle with guide commentary, without museum or archaeological site entrances. Panoramic tours, including the other tours specified in the program, are not the responsibility of Lidya Tour if they cannot be carried out on the day and time of the tour due to closed roads caused by any event, or if local authorities do not allow sightseeing or entry, or when the tour becomes impossible due to weather conditions. Some tours may, where possible, be carried out by public transport or on foot in places with closed roads or where vehicle entry is not permitted.

It is necessary to confirm the tour flight times before purchasing a domestic flight. If the guest purchased the domestic connecting flight from a different product provider independent of the agency, they cannot request any refund from the agency in the event that the trip is canceled by the agency or if there is a time change. The guest accepts in advance, when purchasing the tour, any financial and moral losses that may arise due to tour cancellation or changes. Lidya Tour cannot be held responsible for this situation.

In accordance with airline rules, if the outbound flight of round-trip tickets purchased as round-trip is not used, the return flight is canceled by the airline.

Our guests who join the tour without a flight must be present at the tour starting point on their own means and without any delay. Otherwise, they will have to arrange all their transfers by their own means.

According to airline rules, Lidya Tour is not responsible for guests who are not present at the specified airport at the stated times for joining the tour, do not complete check-in and boarding on time, or who complete check-in and boarding on time but are still unable to board the plane and thus cannot make the flight. Any costs related to obtaining new round-trip tickets required for guests who miss the plane in order to join the tour, as well as transfers in the destination area, etc., shall be borne by them.

The personal belongings, bags, suitcases, passports/ID cards of participants in the tour are under their own responsibility, and Lidya Tour is not responsible for items forgotten/lost/stolen. In cases where forgotten items are found, there is no obligation to deliver them to the country and/or the person, and any expenses incurred during delivery shall be borne by the owner of the item.

In cases such as illness or loss/theft, since the integrity and continuity of the group is essential for the guide, the guide cannot accompany guests one by one in such negative situations.

When purchasing the tour, it is mandatory to provide the name as shown in the passport, date of birth, and passport number correctly. Air tickets are issued according to this information. Penalties for ticket cancellations and changes arising from incorrect information will be collected from you.

In some airlines, food and beverage services and online check-in may be subject to a fee.

During the tour, a seat number on the bus cannot be guaranteed.

Extra tours are organized by the local agency we work with, 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 according to the number of participants. In addition, the days and times of tours may be changed by the guide depending on the opening/closing status of the museums and archaeological sites at the destinations and weather conditions.

Extra tours are optional and not mandatory. Passengers who do not wish to join extra tours organized during the tour are deemed to have accepted waiting at a suitable rest facility along the way. These passengers will be dropped off at a roadside rest facility before the extra tour begins and picked up from the same point after the tour is completed.

When only category information is given and/or alternative information exists for the same destination, you can learn the hotel(s) where you will stay 48 hours before the trip departure.

Lidya Tour is an intermediary company 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. Lidya Tour is obliged to notify these changes as soon as possible. Our passengers have purchased the tour knowing and accepting that flight details may change.

 

VISA

There is no visa requirement for citizens of the Republic of Turkey. For a visa application, a passport valid for at least 6 months from the end date of travel is sufficient.

For our guests traveling with a Turkish green passport, if the passport issue date is older than 10 years, they must renew their passport (extension is not accepted). Otherwise, they may not be admitted to the destination country and/or may not be allowed to fly by the airline. In such a case, responsibility lies with the passenger. 

The visa information stated in the program is the information applicable to citizens of the Republic of Turkey. Guests holding a passport other than that of the Republic of Turkey must obtain their visa information from the relevant consulates.

Passport police have the authority not to let you into the country. Lidya Tour is not responsible for this situation; responsibility lies with the passenger. 

To avoid problems with customs police at the border gate of the country to be visited due to passports that are torn, worn, wet, and/or otherwise damaged; such passports must be renewed, and if the destination country applies a visa to Turkish citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility lies with the passenger. 

Since there is a possibility that our guests under the age of 18 traveling alone or with only one parent may be asked by the police officer at the country’s entry/exit points for a document showing the joint consent of the parents, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents be attentive to this matter.
