For bookings made within 14 days of the experience, full payment is required at the time of booking.

If the final balance is not received by the due date, Walk with Ece reserves the right to cancel the booking and release your place to other guests.

We understand that travel plans sometimes change.

If you need to change the date of your walk, please contact us as soon as possible.

  1. Cancellations by Walk with Ece

Your safety is our highest priority.

If we need to cancel or significantly modify a walk due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control — including severe weather, wildfire risk, natural disasters, trail closures, government restrictions, or other safety concerns — you will be offered the choice of:

  • Rescheduling your walk to another available date, or
  • Receiving a full refund of any payments already made.

Walk with Ece is not responsible for any additional expenses incurred by guests, including flights, accommodation, travel insurance, visas, transportation, or other travel-related costs.

  1. Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend that all guests purchase comprehensive travel insurance before travelling to Türkiye.

Your policy should ideally include cover for:

  • Trip cancellation or interruption
  • Medical expenses
  • Emergency medical assistance or evacuation
  • Personal accident
  • Loss or damage to personal belongings
  • Hiking and other outdoor activities

Travel insurance helps protect you against unexpected events beyond the control of both you and Walk with Ece.

If you are unsure whether your insurance covers hiking activities, please check with your insurance provider before travelling.

  1. Force Majeure

These may include, but are not limited to:

  • Severe weather
  • Wildfires
  • Floods
  • Earthquakes
  • Government restrictions
  • Public health emergencies
  • Road or trail closures
  • Civil unrest
  • Other unforeseen events affecting the safe operation of a walk

Whenever possible, we will make every reasonable effort to offer an alternative date or another suitable solution.

  1. Fitness & Health

Guests are responsible for selecting a walk that matches their own fitness level and physical ability.

If you have a medical condition, injury, allergy, or any health concern that may affect your participation, please inform us before your walk.

We reserve the right to decline participation if we believe it may compromise the safety of the guest or the group.

  • Follow the guide’s instructions at all times.
  • Wear suitable footwear and clothing.
  • Stay with the group unless otherwise agreed.
  • Respect local communities, wildlife, and private property.
  • Avoid behaviour that could endanger themselves or others.

Walk with Ece reserves the right to end a participant’s involvement if their behaviour creates a safety risk for themselves or the group.

  1. Weather Conditions

Mountain weather can change quickly.

Routes, schedules, and itineraries may be adjusted if necessary to ensure the safety and comfort of all participants.

Safety decisions made by the guide are final.

  1. Assumption of Risk

Hiking takes place in natural outdoor environments where conditions may be uneven, unpredictable, or affected by weather.

By participating in a walk with Walk with Ece, guests acknowledge that outdoor activities involve inherent risks and accept personal responsibility for their participation.
