HOW TO BOOK YOUR TRIP WITH US?

Choose a trip and send us your request by using our contact form or creating a booking request on the tour page. You can also simply send an email to our email address: info@alpine-turkey.com.

​

The booking process for the trip is completed after deposit payment is made. If the flight is booked through us, the deposit is EUR 500; in addition to the travel price. Otherwise, the amount of the deposit is 30% of the travel price.

The remaining payment of the travel price depends on the agreement you have done with us. In any case; it must be paid at the latest on the day of arrival at the destination.

​

If you book the flight by yourself, you have to give us your flight details at least 10 days before your arrival. Otherwise, we do not guarantee the airport transfer on arrival.

For individual group trips, the prices of the trips and terms of payment apply depending on the agreement.

​

To book a trip with us you have to be of legal age, at least 18 years. Children under the age of 18 can only take part in our tours when they are accompanied by an adult.

​

TOUR CANCELLATIONS

Once we accept and confirm a booking, the tour starts. If the minimum number of participants is not reached, we take the risk and conduct the tour anyway. (Major incidents such as catastrophes, pandemics, war, strikes etc. are exceptional situations.)

​

HALF DOUBLE ROOM AND EVENTUAL ADDITIONAL CHARGES

The prices are based per person in double rooms. You can join the tour as a couple or alone and share the room with a same-sex person. If you would like to have a room/tent alone, you should inform us during your booking. You will have to pay a single supplement. If you book half a double and there is no room partner for you, we will charge you with the single room/tent surcharge.

​

CONDITIONS OF CANCELLATION 

If you cancel your booking without a reason related to us, we reserve the deposit you made. If the cancellation is due to the health problems, you have to provide an official medical report that shows your condition so that we can refund the full price. However, if the flight is booked through us, the full travel price will only be refunded if the flight can be cancelled free of charge (depending on the price class of the flight booked).

In the case of a no-show at the airport on arrival without notice, no repayments will be made by us.
