If cancelled less than 30 days before the tour date, a 30% penalty applies; if 20 days or fewer remain, a 100% penalty applies. Unfortunately, hospital reports, work leave documents and similar papers issued by authorities in Turkey and submitted with a cancellation request are not accepted for cancelling hotels and services abroad that the participant would have used.

-During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events and sports tournaments, hotels may be used at a distance greater than the stated kilometres. In such a case, OriginalTur will inform you 15 days before the tour departure date.
- Triple rooms are offered depending on hotel availability. In these rooms the bed for the third person is smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed + 1 extra bed. Because the extra beds are fold-out beds known as coach beds, participants who book a third person and/or child are deemed to accept the possible crowding and bed type in the room. Child discounts apply to a single child (in the matching age group) staying with 2 adults.

-Hotel breakfasts included in the tour programme are served in line with the breakfast culture of the country. They are generally continental breakfasts with a limited menu of butter, jam, bread, tea or coffee, and may be served to groups in a separate room set aside for them.
-Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are organised to give a general introduction to the cities, consisting of panoramic sightseeing from the vehicle with guide commentary, without entry to museums or archaeological sites, lasting a maximum of 2-3 hours. OriginalTur is not responsible if panoramic tours, including the other tours listed in the programme, cannot be carried out because local authorities do not permit access or entry on the day and time of the tour, because roads are closed due to an event, or because weather conditions make the tour impossible. Where possible, some tours may be done on foot or by public transport at closed roads or points where vehicle access is not permitted.
-
 Waiting times at border crossings on the road may exceed the standard durations. OriginalTur cannot be held responsible for problems caused by these waiting times.

OriginalTur partner we work with, subject to a minimum of 20 participants. If the required number is not reached, the excursions cannot be carried out, or the extra tour prices, content and vehicle used may change depending on the number of participants. In addition, the days and times of the tours may be changed by the guide depending on whether the museums and archaeological sites to be visited are open or closed, and on weather conditions.
- Extra tours are optional for participants and not mandatory. Passengers who do not wish to join extra tours organised during the trip are deemed to accept waiting at a suitable roadside rest stop. These passengers will be dropped off at a roadside rest stop before the extra tour starts and collected from the same point once the tour is complete.
