IMPORTANT NOTES:

Our tour program is organized subject to a minimum participation requirement. If sufficient participation for the package tour cannot be achieved, the tour may be cancelled 30 days prior to departure. Tours cancelled due to insufficient participation will be notified to you.

In cases where the tour program provides only category information without specifying names and/or offers options for the same destination, the hotel(s) will be communicated by our agency 48 hours before the tour departure.

This price list and program remain valid until a new price list is issued and completely supersede any previous version.

All prices in our package programs are limited to quotas up to a minimum of 10 persons; group sizes exceeding this number may incur price increases. Please inquire about pricing.

In cases where ordinary passports have been issued more than 10 years ago, or other passport types more than 5 years ago, travelers acknowledge that due to potential service errors and because the agency does not hold the status of an operator, there is no existing liability on the part of the agency, nor is it directly liable as the primary responsible party. At all customs-controlled exits abroad, passengers must be present at the relevant port 3 hours before the scheduled tour departure time on the day of departure. Especially for guests arriving from other cities via domestic flights to ports or airports, flight times must be adjusted according to the required arrival time at the port. Consequently, any delays and/or failure to participate in the tour due to such circumstances are the responsibility of the passenger, and Sora bears no obligation to compensate the passenger.

Sora acts as an intermediary between airlines and passengers and is subject to the Hague Protocol of 28.09.1955. Flight schedules may change prior to departure. All flight times must be confirmed by the passenger 48 hours before the tour departure time. Passengers purchase the tour knowing and accepting that flight details may change.

Triple rooms are assigned based on hotel availability. In such rooms, the bed allocated for the third person is smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of one large bed and one extra bed. Since extra beds are foldable or convertible (known as coach beds), participants booking triple rooms for a third person and/or children are deemed to have accepted potential crowding and the type of bed in the room. Child discounts apply only to one child per room who stays with two adults and falls within the appropriate age group. Due to the limited number of TWIN (two separate beds) rooms available in hotels, please verify your TWIN room request before reservation.

If children under 18 years of age (not considered legally adult) participate in the tour without at least one parent, it is mandatory to carry the necessary consent letters throughout the entire duration of the trip.

Panoramic city tours are 2-3 hour sightseeing tours organized for introducing cities, excluding entry fees to museums or historical sites. These tours may be conducted on different days provided their content remains unchanged. Extra tours are carried out with a number of participants determined by the tour leader. If the number falls below this threshold, extra tours may be conducted with a price increase, and their dates may be changed by the tour leader according to the flow of the program. Tours may not take place depending on weather conditions. No visits or tours will be conducted if local authorities do not permit access for any reason. Sora cannot be held responsible for the inability to conduct such visits or tours.

Passengers must carry any health issues related to their participation in the tour, pregnancy status, medications they continuously use, and relevant medical reports concerning these medications.

Tour details, airport representative information, tour leader contact, and hotel notifications will be provided 48 hours before the tour departure.

A passport is an official document. Authorities have the right to deny entry to the country if the passport is damaged, stained, torn, or otherwise compromised in any way. In such cases, responsibility lies with the passenger.

A visa requirement applies to Turkish citizens for this tour program. Even with a valid visa, border police retain the authority to deny entry to a passenger. In such situations, all financial and legal responsibilities lie with the passenger. Please check your passport information and details.

When exiting through Turkish border gates, regardless of citizenship (Turkish or foreign), all passport types require a minimum validity of 6 months from the date of travel, even if a valid visa is held. Our agency will not approve passports that do not meet this condition. Sora bears no obligation to compensate passengers who are unable to join the tour due to having passports with less than 6 months of validity.

Guests who do not participate in the tours specified as included in the program are not eligible for any refund.
