Skopje Tour with Turkish Airlines for 3 Nights FIT

GENERAL TERMS 1- General Terms are an integral part of the tour program and cannot be considered independently from the tour program. 2- The agency can cancel the tour up to 21 days before the departure date if sufficient participation for the trip is not achieved. In such a case, cancellation information will be communicated to the guest. The full amount of the tour fee will be refunded to the guest. For additional services purchased outside the tour; the domestic flight connection fare obtained from the agency will also be refunded to the guest, provided that the visa service has been utilized or if a visa application has been made on behalf of the guest using travel health insurance, these services cannot be refunded as they have been used. If the guest has purchased the domestic flight connection from a different provider independent of the agency, the agency will not be liable for any refund in the event that the tour is canceled by the agency. The guest accepts in advance the material and moral losses that may arise from the cancellation of the tour at the time of purchasing the tour and cannot hold the agency responsible. 3- If sufficient participation is not achieved for the trip, the agency has the right to show goodwill by not canceling the tour. In this case, the provision of the tour for the guest individually will occur, and the package-included guiding service will only cover the international round-trip airport transfer. Cancellation and Change 4- In our tours, transport tickets are arranged at the time of reservation. Cancellations made more than 30 days before the tour departure date will result in a non-refundable penalty applied to these flight ticket costs. 5- Guests have the right to cancel without penalty until 30 days before the tour departure date, provided that they notify the agency in writing, except for those airline tickets that have been paid and/or committed by the agency. In case of less than 31 days until the start date of the trip, the guest can cancel by paying a penalty equal to 50% of the remaining tour fee from the airfare, and in case of less than 15 days to the start date of the trip, the guest can cancel by paying the total penalty fee of the tour fee. If cancellation is requested, the cancellation and refund conditions for additional services such as domestic flight connections, visa services, and travel health insurance may vary depending on the duration of the cancellation request, so prior inquiry about refunds is required. The agency cannot commit to the refund of additional services. Guide Services and Extra Tours 6- The days and times of the tours mentioned in the program may be changed by the guide depending on the opening/closing status of the museums and archaeological sites visited and weather conditions. Different guides may accompany our guests during the tours. 7- The panoramic city tours included in the tour package are arranged for the general introduction of the cities and are, at most, 2-3 hour tours conducted through vehicle-based narration by the guide without the entrance to museums or archaeological sites. Panoramic tours will not be the agency's responsibility if they cannot be conducted due to local authorities not permitting visits on the scheduled days and times, or road closures due to any events, or if, due to weather conditions, the tour cannot be feasibly conducted. Some tours may be carried out via public transportation or on foot where roads are closed or access by vehicle is not permitted. 8- Depending on the number of participants, the guide can make changes to the days of the city tour and/or additional tours based on the conditions of the closure of museums and archaeological sites. This also applies in cases of changes to flight times. 9- Important points to consider for tours conducted with Speed Boats include: heavy meals should not be eaten immediately before boarding the boat, and excessive water consumption should be avoided.

The fulfillment of these requests depends on the availability at the time of the hotel check-in and cannot be guaranteed by the agency. 28- The breakfasts offered at hotels may differ from the rich breakfasts traditionally found in Turkish cuisine. Typically, they are served as continental breakfasts consisting of limited options such as butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee and may be served in a separate room designated for groups. 29- In some instances, instead of a double bed or two separate beds, there may be a single double bed.

All applicable city, tourism, or other taxes being implemented will be collected from the guest by the hotel at the time of entrance or exit. 38- The travel distances provided in the programs are map-based.
