  • All participants, including infants and children, are required to carry a photo ID document.
  • For guests under 18 years of age, both parents must accompany them during travel. If one parent is absent, a notarized consent letter must be presented; if custody belongs to a single parent, a court order must be provided.

  • In Georgia, the Type C plug system is widely used. Although it is generally compatible with Turkish plugs, some hotels may have different socket types. Therefore, it is recommended that you bring a plug adapter and power bank. A power bank is especially necessary for charging phones during long city tours; it is recommended that you charge your devices at the hotel in the evenings.

  • Cash (Lari) is recommended for payments, but Mastercard and Visa cards are widely accepted for shopping.
  • When paying with a credit or debit card, ensure that the merchant enters the amount in "Lari" on the POS terminal. If it is converted to TL before being processed, you may end up paying significantly more due to exchange rate differences.
