Our calling is to care for you. This means that we will do our best to accommodate your wishes. Thus, all of our tours and activities are available for sale at any time online in advance or when you arrive at your destination. However, please bear in mind that there is limited availability and high demand for many tours so we may be sold out once you arrive. To avoid disappointment, we recommend booking before you leave home to ensure you get what you want. This is especially true for Cappadocia hot air balloon rides which often sell out in the high season. However, if you have just arrived and want something you did not think about before, we are your best option for fulfilling your desires.

Once you’ve completed the booking process online, you will receive an electronic, ready-to-print tour voucher or ticket. In case you do not receive it, please check for it in your Junk/Spam email folder before contacting us.

Your booking will be confirmed instantly at time of booking by e-voucher to your email. Please check that voucher for all pertaining information including pick-up time, flight numbers, airport details  and our contact details.

In case any issues have arisen that would require alternate plans, such as national strikes, weather hazards, unexpected road closures, etc. we will contact you beforehand.

The only reason to re-confirm your booking is if you do not receive a confirmation email from us. However, you are welcome to contact us at any time if you have unanswered questions or are confused about anything.

We’re more than happy to accommodate you on a different date, or at a different time if we have the availability. To make a change, please contact us at info@travelturkey.com at least 7 days before your tour begins.

Please note that there are some tours that once booked, cannot be amended. For example, tours that include a hotel stay, flight or rail tickets. Text on the tour page will indicate if the date and time cannot be changed once booked.

Please refer to our Cancellation Policy (Terms & Conditions) enclosed within the booking form sent to you for that specific tour.

All of  our tours can be booked directly in our online booking system.  In most of these cases, if you buy something from us and then change your mind, we are happy to refund your pre-booked tour or activity, less a 10% service fee, as long as you let us know at least 7 days in advance of your departure date (or according to the Terms & Conditions indicated while booking that tour which may be different).
However, we do have products that are 100% non-refundable once booked. This mostly applies to some of our rail journeys, products that include a hotel stay or high-demand activities. Please check the terms and conditions for your specific tour while booking where this policy is indicated.

For special interests, families and groups/shore excursions, please also see the ‘private tours’ section of the website.

In private tours you and your chosen companions will have your own private professional tour guide for a more personalized experience of Turkey. This type of tour offers much flexibility and a more relaxed pace with greater opportunity for enjoying spontaneous moments and events and seeing more sights that are off the beaten track. You can easily focus on specific interests of history, religion, culture, art, architecture and/or cuisine. We highly recommend this type of tour to families, groups of friends, individuals with a special interest/requirements or corporate groups.

In group tours you will be sharing the guide and vehicle with approx. 15-30 other people depending on the day. The sightseeing and route are fixed so there is no flexibility or personalization with this type of tour. This can be a nice way of meeting people if you are traveling alone or for those on a budget.

TURKISH VISA INFORMATION 
The visa requirements vary from country to country. Go to this website: www.evisa.gov.tr to learn more about what is required for you.
Note: You will not be granted a visa at your port of entry. You must obtain your entry visa before arriving to Turkey. It is a quick and easy process and has made the entry process much more efficient.

Cruise ship passengers arriving and departing by cruise ship do not need this visa, as a simple landing card valid for the day is given to everyone landing for the day by ship (or staying overnight on ship).

For some trips, the domestic flight may be quoted and arranged separately – Once we know your exact travel dates, we can quote you the exact price of all the domestic flight tickets necessary for your trip.
