A trip-planning request gives the team the details needed to prepare a proposal; it does not reserve services or confirm availability. Before you commit, check the final itinerary, price, inclusions, payment requirements and booking terms.

You can contact Travel Agency Turkiye by phone or email for help comparing itineraries or discussing a booking. Use the details on our Contact page. Follow the booking instructions for your chosen service; a general enquiry is not a confirmed reservation.

Booking windows vary by service and travel date. Check the individual tour page, and contact the team if your date is unavailable or you need a tailor-made arrangement. Availability must be confirmed before you make travel plans around a tour.

Yes. Allow enough time between activities, including transfers and hotel changes. If you want to combine several tours, send the proposed dates and routes through Plan My Trip so the team can check how they fit together and explain the applicable booking process.

Cancellation terms vary by service, provider and booking. Read the conditions supplied with your chosen itinerary and our Cancellations and Refunds page before committing. Ask for clarification if a deadline or charge is unclear.

Changes depend on availability and the terms of your booking. Send your booking reference and the change you need. The team will explain whether it can be arranged and whether any additional charges apply before you accept the amendment.

Contact the team with your booking reference and the reason for your request. Refund eligibility and any deductions depend on the applicable booking terms. Keep written confirmation of the outcome.

Tell us the address of your apartment or other accommodation before the tour. The team can check whether pickup is possible or confirm a suitable meeting point. Do not assume a nearby hotel accepts outside guests for pickup.

A different drop-off point depends on the route and the service booked. Send the address before booking or as early as possible afterwards. The team must confirm whether it can be accommodated and whether an additional charge applies.

Use the departure or pickup time in your booking confirmation or travel voucher. If it is missing or unclear, contact the team before travel. Allow time to reach the meeting point and check whether pickup time differs from the tour's start time.

Holiday schedules vary by tour and attraction. Ask the team to confirm the itinerary for your exact date, especially where museum closures, religious observances or public holidays may affect visits.

Weather can affect activities differently. Balloon flights, boat trips and some outdoor excursions may be changed or cancelled for safety reasons. Check the terms for your particular service and contact the team for confirmed alternatives or the applicable cancellation procedure.

Yes. Use Plan My Trip to share your dates, destinations, passenger numbers, preferred pace, accommodation requirements and guide language. Travel agencies and group organisers can also use our Turkey DMC services page to brief the team.

The confirmation process depends on the service and the payment arrangements supplied at booking. Keep the written confirmation and any voucher you receive. Check the travel date, passenger details, inclusions, meeting point and local contact before departure; ask the team to correct anything unclear.

Last-minute arrangements depend on availability and the booking window for the individual service. Contact the team if online booking is closed or your date is not shown. An enquiry does not guarantee a place.

Consider suitable travel insurance for your own circumstances and itinerary. Check the policy wording for medical cover, cancellation and the activities you plan to take part in. Do not assume insurance is included in a tour; check the written inclusions.

No, we do not offer discounts for multiple bookings as each service is contracted individually with different providers.

Contact the team as soon as possible. Cancellation and no-show charges depend on your booking terms. If you have travel insurance, ask your insurer whether your circumstances are covered.

Send the correct spelling and your booking reference as soon as you notice an error. The procedure and any charge depend on the service; flight tickets and other named reservations may have stricter rules. Wait for written confirmation that the correction has been made.

Pickup coverage varies by tour. Check the individual service details and your confirmation, and send your hotel's name and address so the team can confirm a pickup point or meeting location.

Airport transfers are included only where the written tour inclusions say so. If you need one, provide your airport, arrival details and destination so the team can check the appropriate arrangement.

Check the service details and your final confirmation or voucher. If the address, landmark or pickup instructions are unclear, contact the team before the tour and keep the confirmed instructions available while travelling.

Check the guide language on the individual tour page. If you require another language, state it when enquiring so the team can confirm whether an appropriate guide or private arrangement is available.

Contact the local number in your confirmation or voucher as soon as you know you will be late. A departure cannot be assumed to wait or be rescheduled, so allow extra time for traffic and finding the meeting point.

Yes, you can enquire about a larger group through Plan My Trip. Passenger limits depend on the service and transport arrangements. Share your full passenger count, dates and room requirements so the team can check a suitable proposal.

Common issues include incorrect card details, insufficient funds, or card restrictions for online/international use. Double-check details or contact your bank if needed.
