Any deposit/payment received by TOURGOOD TURIZM TIC. LTD. STİ. towards a confirmed travel package or service constitutes full knowledge and acceptance of all terms and conditions. Each person making reservations for or participating in tours/services as described in this website understands and agrees to all terms, conditions, and limitations set forth herein.

When you make a booking, you confirm that you understand our booking conditions and have accepted them on behalf of yourself and all party members.

Your contract will be with TOURGOOD TURIZM TIC. LTD. STİ. (here indicated as “TOUR GOOD TRAVEL” or “We”), which will act as the Tour Operator.

A contract will exist as soon as We issue a confirmation invoice in response to your request for a booking and the deposit has been paid by you either to your travel agent or directly to TOUR GOOD TRAVEL.

The present Terms and Conditions are by TR Directive 90/314 (otherwise indicated as “Council Directive on package travel, package holidays and package tours) and Turkish Tourism Laws.

4. Booking will be secured with a 40% non-refundable deposit to be paid at the time of confirmation. The reservation fee is non-refundable unless:

6. You must clearly state all your requirements at the time of booking.

Where special requests (e.g. diet, room type, etc) are an important factor in the choice of holiday, you must advise Us when the booking is made. We will pass your requests on to service providers (hotels, restaurants….) but We cannot guarantee that they will be met.

7. Bookings made later than 60 days before departure will be considered “late booking” and will be subject to procedures devised in Section C (“Payments and Invoicing”).

9. Extending the length of the tour, provided that the planned itinerary of the original tour stays the same, is free of charge.

10. If for any reason We are unable to confirm your reservation by 56 days before departure (see Section H “Cancellation or modification by us”), your reservation fee and eventual payments of the first installment will be refunded in full.

• Final Payment not received within 60 days of departure date: 100% Reservation Fee.

27. We will use our best endeavors not to materially modify or cancel the holiday unless compelled to do so because of circumstances beyond our reasonable control. However, We reserve the right, at our discretion, to modify or cancel any tour, accommodation, or arrangement at any time, before the start of the tour itself.

In particular, a material modification has a serious effect on your holiday (for example, a change of departure date) which may, depending on your circumstances, cause substantial inconvenience to you.

If a change in accommodation becomes necessary for any reason, the hotels substituted will be comparable to those indicated in the tour program. We do not consider a change of hotel or vehicle as a material modification.

Also, “force majeure” is defined as unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond the control of TOUR GOOD TRAVEL, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised.

In the case of any material modification or cancellation, We will endeavor to advise you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible. In case of material modifications, if you accept them, they will form part of the contract between you and TOUR GOOD TRAVEL.

28. Should you not accept our proposal of material modification or cancellation, We will provide you with the following alternatives:
a) an alternative tour of equivalent or superior quality and equivalent price, if possible;
b) an alternative tour of a lower quality together with a refund of the difference in price between the package purchased and the substitute package; or
c) withdraw from the contract without penalty and with a full refund of all monies paid, including the Reservation Fee.

You shall inform Us of your decision as soon as possible, however not later than 3 days from our notice.

29. In case of “force majeure” as described in clause 49 below, We will be entitled to cancel the trip upon informing you that we are doing so, whereupon all monies paid by you for your tour shall be refunded to you (including the Reservation Fee), but no further compensation will be paid.

30. If a material modification or cancellation is made to your trip within 60 days of the departure date for reasons other than force majeure (as described in clause 54 below), and you wish to withdraw from the contract, you will receive compensation by the following table:

Period before the scheduled departure date that we notify you or your travel agent of material modification or cancellation / Compensation offered per booking
60-30 days: 10%
29-7 days: 15%
6-0 days: 20%

31. We cannot be held responsible for any delays or cancellations caused by reasons including but not limited to weather, mechanical issues, or personnel strikes.

We cannot accept any liability if We are not notified of any inaccuracy in any document within 21 days of tour departure.

While We will do our best to rectify any changes made outside this time, it is your responsibility to meet any additional costs that may be involved, except in the case of an error made solely by Us and where there is a good reason for you not contacting Us within the specified time.

36. You are responsible for ensuring that all necessary personal travel documents, in particular Passports and Identity Cards, are valid and effective, and for verifying entry requirements necessary for the destination and obtaining an Entry Visa when needed.

Also, you are responsible for any expenses incurred as a result of delays or itinerary changes related to your lack of appropriate travel documents and are therefore ineligible for any refund from Us.

K. INSURANCE

37. It is highly recommended that you and all members of your party take out comprehensive travel insurance that is adequate for your needs before you travel on your TOUR GOOD TRAVEL. Your insurance should include:
• medical and repatriation expenses,

• personal liability,
• legal expenses.

If you suffer from a disability or medical condition you should disclose this to insurers.

L. START OF THE TOUR – DELAYS

38. All Tours start at the meeting point at the time as stated in the Final Detailed Itinerary.

39. In case you are aware of a delay in showing up, you must notify Us of your new arrival time.

If you are arriving later than 1 hour, we reserve the right to charge you with the additional cost of service. If later than 6 hours, this will be considered a “No Show”. Provided that we can arrange a new transfer, it will be at your own expense.

Persons missing tour portions or components (including, but not limited to, meals, excursions, or sightseeing tours) due to delays or cancellations will not be refunded.

M. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

40. We accept responsibility if any part of your holiday arrangements (that occur after your TOUR GOOD TRAVEL has commenced) is not as described in the tour program, or not of a reasonable standard, due to fault on our part.

We do not accept responsibility if and to the extent that any failure of your holiday arrangements or harm is not caused by any fault of ours, or our agents or suppliers, but is attributable to your own acts or omissions, or to the acts or omissions of a third party unconnected with your tour arrangements or to unusual or unforeseeable circumstances or events which could not have been anticipated or avoided by Us, our servants, agents, or suppliers even with the exercise of all due care.

41. If any failure in your tour arrangements or damage arising from the non-performance or improper performance of the services involved in your travel package or tour relates to, or if you or any member of your party is killed, injured, or becomes ill during or as a result of carriage by aircraft, ship or train forming part of the holiday arrangements booked before departure in your trip with Us, our liability to pay compensation and/or the amount of compensation We will pay is limited in accordance with the liability of the carrier under any international convention which governs such services. International Conventions that may apply include, but are not limited to, the following: in respect of carriage by sea, the Athens Convention 1974; in respect of rail carriage, the Berne Convention 1961; and, in respect of carriage by road, the Geneva Convention 1973. The terms of these conventions are incorporated into and form part of your contract with Us. You should also be aware that these conventions may limit or remove the carrier’s liability to you and the amount that the carrier has to pay to you in the event of damage, death, or personal injury. You should also know that the carrier will rely upon its ‘conditions of carriage’ which may limit or remove the carrier’s liability to you and limit compensation under international conventions.

42. If We make any payment to you or any member of your party for death, personal injury, or illness, you must give Us or our insurers the rights you may have to take action against the person or organization responsible for causing the death, personal injury or illness and you must cooperate fully with Us in seeking recovery of any payment we may make to you.

43. If after departure We become aware that We are unable to procure a significant proportion of the services to be provided, We will make suitable alternative arrangements, at no extra cost to you, for the continuation of the package and will, where appropriate, compensate you for the difference between the services to be supplied under our contract with you and those effectively supplied.

If it is not possible to make such arrangements or these arrangements are not accepted by you for good reasons, We will, where appropriate, provide you at no extra cost with equivalent transport back to the place of departure or to another place to which you have agreed and will, where appropriate, compensate you.

44. With regard to the eventual damage resulting for you from our failure to perform or the improper performance of the contract, We are liable unless such failure to perform or improper performance is attributable neither to any fault of ours nor to that of another supplier of services, because:
– the failures which occur in the performance of the contract are attributable to you,
– such failures are attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for, and are unforeseeable or unavoidable,
– such failures are due to a case of force majeure, or to an event which We or the supplier of services, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall.

45. Where, as a result of circumstances beyond our control, We are obliged to change or end your tour after departure, We will not pay compensation or reimburse you for expenses incurred. You should have adequate travel insurance for your holiday and claim via your insurance company for any loss or out-of-pocket expenses you incur as a result of the change or premature end to your holiday.

46. There will be no refunds for unused package tour services or features, including missed transfers due to airline changes and/or missed flights, train and ship changes, unused meals, missed sightseeing tours, unused entrance fees, and accommodations, however, this eventuality may be occasioned, including where you decide to leave the tour early. The final decision on the itinerary and the content of the tour will be taken by the TOUR GOOD TRAVELManager.

47. If improvements can be made to tour itineraries or unforeseen circumstances necessitate changes or delays occur for a variety of reasons beyond our control, We reserve the right to amend, adjust, or alter itineraries. We will make every effort to notify you as early as possible of such changes. Due to local or national holidays, seasonal hours of operation or availability, special events, and/or peak harvest seasons, access to certain facilities and attractions including but not limited to vineyards, museums, historical sites, or stores may be limited.
On such occasions, and whenever possible, reasonable itinerary adjustments will be made by the Tour Leader to minimize your inconvenience.

48. If it is necessary for Us to change or cancel your travel program in any way, you will be responsible for altering your flight plans accordingly and for any costs that result from such changes or cancellations.

N. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY

49. TOUR GOOD TRAVEL will not in any way be held responsible for any loss, damage, or expense resulting from a force majeure event. Force majeure means unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our reasonable control or the control of our suppliers, the consequences of which neither Us nor our suppliers could avoid even with all due care, including, but not limited to, war or terrorist activities, threatened or actual, civil unrest, riot, industrial action, threatened or actual, adverse weather conditions, fire, flood, drought, natural or nuclear disaster, closures, unforeseen alterations to public transport schedules, changes imposed by rescheduling of aircraft or boats, unavoidable technical problems with transport, machinery or equipment, power failure, epidemic or outbreaks of illness or any other event outside our control the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, which either delays or extends the tour, compels a change in the holiday arrangements or its cancellation.

52.

We reserve the right to terminate your holiday immediately in such a situation, and We will not be responsible for expenses resulting in such persons being precluded from completing the tour for any reason, nor will we be able to refund them any part of their trip cost.

In all cases, We will notify you of the situation and the reasons why We have taken any action against or towards you. We will have no obligation to arrange for your return to the point of departure.

P. BEHAVIOR

56. No customer will be permitted to embark or continue on the tour whereby their behavior, in the reasonable opinion of the TOUR GOOD TRAVELManager in charge, is causing danger to themselves or to other passengers, damage to property, or is incompatible with the interests of the group.

We will not be responsible for expenses resulting in such persons being precluded from completing the tour for any reason, nor will We be able to refund them any part of their trip cost.
