- Triple rooms are subject to hotel availability. In these rooms, the bed assigned to the third person is smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed + 1 extra bed. Since extra beds are fold-down or coach beds, participants booking triple rooms for a 3rd person and/or children are deemed to have accepted potential crowding in the room and the type of bed.

- Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are maximum 2–3 hour tours conducted from inside the vehicle with guide commentary for general city introduction; they do not include entrance fees to museums or historical sites. If panoramic tours cannot be carried out due to reasons such as restrictions imposed by local authorities preventing access or entry on the scheduled day and time (even if other tours in the program are accessible), closures due to any event, or impassable roads caused by weather conditions, Holitera Turizm shall not be held responsible for the non-performance of said tours. Some tours may be conducted via public transport or on foot, where possible, at points where vehicle access is restricted.
- Waiting times at customs gates crossed by road during travel may exceed standard limits; Holitera Turizm cannot be held liable for any adverse situations arising from such waiting times.

If sufficient numbers are not met, tours may not take place, or extra tour prices, content, and vehicles used may vary based on the number of participants. Additionally, tour dates and times may be changed by the guide depending on whether museums and historical sites at the destinations are open or closed, and weather conditions.
- Extra tours are optional and not mandatory. Passengers who wish not to participate in extra tours organized during the trip are deemed to have agreed to wait at a suitable rest facility along the route. These passengers will be dropped off at the roadside rest facility before the extra tour begins and picked up from that location after the main tour is completed.

All costs incurred for round-trip new flight tickets and transfers in the destination area required for those who miss their flight to join the tour are borne by the individuals themselves.
