What is a package tour ?
A package tour is a combination of various daily tours and mini
tour packages operated in different cities.These tour packages
we offer are designed so as to visit the places they include in
the shortest time and the most economical way. Unlike standard
group tours you will be independent from other people in
hotels and during the transportation. You will join other
people only during the guided tours and excursions in day time,
but there will not be any guides accompanying you during
flights, intercity bus rides and transfers. Everything related
to the tour program will be organized by us; such as bus and
plane tickets, hotel reservations, guided tours, all connecting
transfers and you will be under our protection along the way if
ever something goes wrong.
Important Notice
Istanbul is not included in any of the Turkey package tours we
offer. To be able to join them comfortably, you need to stay in
Istanbul at least for 1 night before and after the tour period.
We’d recommend you not to book your international flights or
bus tickets right before or after this tour package,
considering unexpected delays. To be able to benefit from our
airport transfer services in Istanbul, the hotel you stay in
should be centrally located on the European side, roughly
within 2-3 km distance with respect to the downtown
Sultanahmet district,
aka old city. Let us know in advance if you intend to stay at
airport hotels or at hotels out of the city center, especially
if it will be on the Asian side; before and after this tour.
