- Comfortable walking shoes or sneakers should be worn during the trip. It is advisable to bring a sweater or similar clothing for the evening.
- On our weekly tours, a rotation system (seat changing) is applied daily regarding seat planning; therefore, no guarantee is given for fixed seats or front seats. Seat changes are organized by the vehicle guide.

- The Travel Insurance Package can only be added at the time of tour purchase and cannot be added later. It provides the guest with an unconditional right to cancel without interruption up to 7 days before the travel date. If not used, it is non-refundable. If the cancellation insurance package is not purchased, guests have the right to cancel free of charge until 30 days before the tour date. If the cancellation is made less than 30 days before the tour date, a 30% penalty applies; if 20 days or less remain, a 100% penalty applies. Hospital reports, work permits, and other documents obtained from Turkish authorities submitted with a participant's cancellation request are unfortunately not accepted for cancellations of hotels and services to be received outside Turkey.
- Our tour program is organized subject to a minimum participation of 25 people. If sufficient participation is not secured for the trip, the final cancellation notification date is 20 days before the tour departure. Tours cancelled due to insufficient participation will be notified by OUTGOİNG TOUR.
- In cases where names are not specified in the tour program but only category information is provided and/or options exist for the same destination, the hotel(s) will be notified by OUTGOİNG TOUR 2 days before the tour departure.
- During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be located further than the specified kilometers. In such cases, information will be provided by OUTGOİNG TOUR 15 days before the tour departure date.
- Triple rooms are assigned based on hotel availability; in these rooms, the bed allocated for the 3rd person is smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed + 1 extra bed. Since extra beds are foldable or referred to as coach beds, tour participants registering a 3rd person and/or children are deemed to have accepted any potential crowding and bed types that may occur in the rooms. Child discounts apply only for one child accompanying two adults and falling within the appropriate age group.
- Breakfasts included in the tour program are served according to the breakfast culture of the country visited, generally as a limited continental menu consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee, and may be served in a separate room dedicated to the group.
- Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours lasting a maximum of 2-3 hours, organized for general introduction to cities and conducted from inside the vehicle with guide commentary; they do not include entry to museums or historical sites. In cases where panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, cannot be visited or entered due to local authorities' restrictions on the specific day and time, due to closed roads caused by any event, or because weather conditions make the tour impossible, OUTGOİNG TOUR shall not be held responsible for the inability to conduct said tours. Some tours may be conducted via public transport or on foot, within available means, at points where vehicles are not permitted due to closed roads.
- Waiting times at customs checkpoints crossed by road during travel may exceed standard limits; OUTGOİNG TOUR cannot be held responsible for any negative consequences arising from such waiting times.
- Extra tours are organized by the local OUTGOİNG TOUR we use, subject to a minimum participation of 20 people. If this number is not reached, tours may not take place, or extra tour prices, content, and vehicles used may vary according to 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 depend on the participant's preference. Passengers who do not wish 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 a roadside rest facility before the extra tour begins and picked up from that location after the main tour is completed.
- Check-in and boarding procedures for flights are personal processes and must be completed by the guest either at airline counters in airports before the flight or online via the airlines' websites.
- OUTGOİNG TOUR is not responsible for failures to board flights by individuals who fail to appear at the designated airport at the times notified by OUTGOİNG TOUR, fail to complete check-in and boarding procedures on time, or complete them on time but do not board the plane. All costs for new round-trip flight tickets and transfers required for missed passengers to join the tour, as well as any other related expenses in the destination region, are borne by the passengers themselves.
- OUTGOİNG TOUR acts as an intermediary between the passenger and the airline and is subject to the 1955 Hague Protocol. There may be risks of delays in scheduled and special flights, or flight times may change prior to the existing tour and flight. OUTGOİNG TOUR is obligated to notify of such changes as soon as possible. By purchasing the tour, the passenger accepts the risk of time changes. Children aged 0-2 years do not pay airport taxes or airport service fees.
