1. How long has BEF Tourism been in business?
BEF Tourism has been established in 1995. It has been serving for its clients for 13 years. 

2. When's the best time to visit Turkey?
Summer is by far the most popular time to travel (especially for Europeans). Although temperatures may reach  into the high 80s, Turkey's low humidity keeps the day pleasant. Americans prefer Spring and Fall because  of the pleasant temperatures. Mornings and evenings can be cool, so bring along a jacket for those Istanbul  evenings along the Bosphorus or early morning visits in Cappadocia. Temperatures in March and November are  cool and comfortable.
 

3. Is there a rainy season in Turkey?
No there is no rainy season. Although Turkey does get more precipitation during the winter months.
 

4.  What forms of payment do you accept?
Bank transfer, credit card (visa, master card)
 

5. Does Turkey have special health requirements?
No shots are required for travel in Turkey. Just happy, healthy, enthusiastic travelers.
 

6. Can I bring my medicine to Turkey?
Sure. Although you can find pharmacies, it is fine to bring your own medication along. However, please do
keep the medicine in its original prescription bottle.
 

7. What's Turkish food like?
Delicious. It's very similar to Greek—savory lamb, feta cheese fresh tomatoes, eggplant and the scrappiest
deserts on the planet.
 

8. Is it safe to drink the water in Turkey?
The water in major cities is safe to drink because it is heavily chlorinated. However, bottled water is a tastier, easily accessible alternative.
 

9. Is there any passport requirement?
Just a good picture, and a passport that has at least 3 months validity remaining.
 

10. Do I need a visa to enter Turkey?
Depends on the nationality. Please check it thorough the following link.
 

11. Do you offer travel insurance?
No, please check with your insurance agent for coverage.
 

12. How many people will be on the tour?
It is hard to say before the reservations are finelized. Generaly we do not have more than 20 guests on the bus.
 

13. Anything special for group leaders?
One free for 16 paying passengers, provided they travel together.

14. Can I extend my stay in Turkey?
Yes, of course. You can stay as long as you like! We will assist you if there is a need to change your flight ticket without any charge.
