So if we want single occupancy, we just pay an additional $350 and that would mean you get your personal room and don't have to share, correct?

Is it possible to change either the date of the departing or return flight but keep the tour dates the same? I'm ok if there are extra fees involved.

Under a Group contract, we can not change the outbound dat, but are able to extend your stay on the inbound with a deviation fee and difference in fare if one applies

I believe the only Montreal flight available is the September 6 departure, correct? If I change my inbound flight does it still have to originate from Istanbul or could it be from somewhere else that British Airways flies?

The size of the Tour Group is expected to be 40 people or less.
Exotic Tours has been in business for almost 7 years. They are registered with TICO and the owner has been in the travel industry for over 20 years and has led 3 Turkey Tours.

Hi! what would be the additional suplement fee departing from Vancouver bc

British Airways does not have a supplement fare over the Group contract.Thus the least expensive way is to join the Group from Toronto on 04Oct dep.
Presently the flights with Westjet are showing at around $600 inclusive of taxes (Keep to Westjet as they are in same Terminal as British Airways) and to join from Toronto rather than Montreal is better as the fare is better, connections are better ( due to frequency in flts )

Hi I was wanting to get this deal for a friend as a surprise but say for instance she is not able to make it-i realize it is non refundable once we book the flights, but do we have the option of transferring the deal to someone else? ie once bookings have been made, can they be changed over to some one else?
Thank you!!!

Unfortunately, we are unable to assist you in this matter as Airlines do not allow name changes once tickets are issued.

NOTHING BEATS TURKEY! BELIEVE ME. THIS IS NOT A BAD DEAL EITHER.. ALTHOUGHT I CAN DO IT FOR UNDER $1400 BECAUSE OF MY CONNECTIONS ETC..ETS TUR IS WHAT I USE, THEYRE THE BEST! I FLY TO ISTANBUL & PARTS OF TURKEY EVERY SINGLE YEAR. THEIRS WAY TOO MUCH TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE THAT IF YOU SPEND 1 YEAR IN TURKEY YOU WOULD ONLY SEE 20% OF THE BEAUTY..I HAVE LOTS OF FAMILY & FRIENDS THEIR...THE COUNTRY IS BOOMING. THEY HAVE THE BEST OF EVERYTHING FROM HISTORY, TO CUISINE, TO HOSPITALITY, NIGHTLIFE,TO THE RESORTS TO EVERYTHING ELSE & STILL INCREDIBLE VALUE. I WOULD NEVER GO TO ITALY, GREECE, FRANCEM ETC OR ANYWHERE ELSE AGAIN..NO COMPARISION. ITS LIKE NIGHT & DAY..THOSE COUNTRIES ARE SO OVERRATED & UNDERDELIVER ALWAYS & THEY HAVE LITTLE OR NO SUBSTANCE.. THE TURKISH ECONOMY AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS BOOOMING FOR A REASON WHILE ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES ARE BANKRUPT..

If you want to enjoy the hotel amenities instead of the day tour is that possible? How long do the tours last and what time do they start? Some of the hotels provide a beautiful spa service and it would be nice to break and relax. If you're travelling from point to point I'm assuming you check into the hotel late...what time and can you confirm?

Which aircraft? He can barely fit comfortably into an Air Canada Airbus economy seat. We pay the premium for an exit aisle or bulkhead when available. If not, we seriously discuss whether we will go or not.

Also, on day 11 (as per the itinerary on the website) the tour is in Ankara. We have family in Ankara, is it possible to end our tour here (and not continue to Istanbul)? this is dependent on whether we can change the departure date (and possibly city).

British Airways will allow a deviation for $75 plus a difference in fare as mentioned earlier.It takes up to 3 Business days before you get a response on the difference in cost.
And yes, you get get off in Ankara as that is the last leg of our journey.However, these tickets are non reroutable and you can only fly back out of Istanbul.
We are able to arrange a separate roundtrip ticket for you from Istanbul to the desired destination

Since BA flies from Ottawa, is it possible to use this airport ( at the same price)?
On the Oct. 4 departure, you mention that the layover is long. Will you be providing a day room?
Is the Turkish agency professional and reliable with competent guides and organisation?
Thank you

Our Group Contract allows us to use British Airways Online and the Ottawa flight interlines with American Airline.,thus there is no Group price offered
At the Group level,there is no provision for a day room.
Yes,Turkish Agency is definately a professional and reliable organization with competent guides Should they not have been, we would not have used them at all.

We do pay a visit to the Pamukkale Traventines where people usually put their feet in.However, should you want to swim,the Pools of Cleopatra are right there
( entrance fees is not included to the pool )
As for school age children, the Tour Company does accept them,but does not really recommend. As for infants we cannot accept them
