Everything You Need to Know Before Booking a Turkey Travel Package

Booking an international trip through a tour operator raises a lot of practical questions. How does the payment work? What exactly is included? What happens if something goes wrong? Are the guides genuinely knowledgeable or just drivers with a script? These are reasonable things to want to understand before committing to a journey, and Memphis Tours is unusually transparent about all of them.

Here is what the booking process for a Turkey travel package with Memphis Tours actually looks like.

How to Get Started

The process begins simply. You contact Memphis Tours through their website explaining your needs, including your preferred dates, the number of travellers, the type of experience you are looking for (group, private, or small group), and any specific interests or must see destinations. The team responds within 24 hours with complete details and package options.

There is no pressure at this stage. You receive the information, you ask any follow up questions you have, and you take the time to decide. This initial conversation is free and carries no obligation.

The Booking Policy

Securing your Turkey travel package requires a deposit of just 25% of the total tour cost. This deposit covers hotel rooms, domestic flight tickets where applicable, cruise cabins if your package includes a gulet sailing trip, and other travel related services. The remaining 75% can be paid up to two weeks before your arrival date by credit card, or you can pay the balance directly to your tour manager on arrival in cash in US dollars or euros.

This payment structure is deliberately flexible and designed to be low risk. You are not committing your full budget months in advance with no guarantee of what you will receive. The 25% deposit secures everything, and you pay the remainder when the trip is essentially about to begin.

What Is Included in the Package

Standard inclusions across Memphis Tours Turkey travel packages include airport meet and greet by an English speaking representative, all transfers between sites and cities by air conditioned private coach, accommodation at the specified hotels with the listed meal arrangements, professional English speaking guides, entrance fees to museums and sites indicated in the itinerary, and all service charges and taxes.

Optional additions include the hot air balloon flight in Cappadocia, traditional hammam experiences, and specific excursions not listed in the standard package. Your tour manager will discuss these with you on arrival and there is no obligation to take any of them.

The Cancellation Policy

Cancellations are managed on a sliding scale. Cancelling 61 or more days before arrival costs 15% of the total tour price. Between 60 and 31 days costs 35%. Between 30 and 15 days costs 50%. Cancellations within 14 days of arrival cost 100%. Cancellations at any time are also subject to any airline cancellation fees that apply to domestic flights within Turkey. Cancellation requests must be sent in writing by fax or email.

What the Guides Are Like

Multiple travellers have commented specifically on the quality of Memphis Tours guides. They are described as knowledgeable about history, cooperative and flexible in managing group needs, and genuinely interested in ensuring every person on the tour has a positive experience. For solo travellers and families alike, having a guide who can answer questions, handle logistics, and translate the meaning of what you are seeing transforms the quality of the experience.

Conclusion

A Turkey travel package with Memphis Tours is a well structured, genuinely transparent booking process backed by decades of industry experience. With the company operating since 1955, you are trusting an organisation with a long track record rather than a new operation.
