## General Information

The tour program is generally planned according to the dates of the Orange Blossom Carnival in April, so be sure to check the exact date and times before making a reservation: The Orange Blossom Carnival is held every year in April, but the days and times of the events can change from year to year. Therefore, before purchasing the tour, it is important to ensure that the current dates and times of both the carnival and the tour program align with your own plans by checking them in advance.
As the tour involves activities with large crowds such as the carnival parade, concerts, street events, and visiting local stalls, comfortable walking shoes and light clothing are recommended: Since you will need to stand all day during the festival, follow the parades, and walk in crowded streets, wearing sports or walking shoes that do not tire your feet will enhance your comfort. Given the high likelihood of warm weather, choosing lightweight and breathable clothing will help you stay cool and more comfortable during the active events throughout the day.
Due to Adana’s hot and sunny weather, it is advisable to bring personal items such as sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a water bottle: As Adana has a sunny and hot climate, especially starting from April, protecting yourself from the sun in the festival environment where you will be outdoors for long periods is important for your health. Items like sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses will protect you from the risks of sunburn and heatstroke, while carrying a water bottle will help you stay hydrated and keep your energy levels high throughout the day.
Find out in advance what is included in the tour price (transportation, accommodation, breakfast, dinner, museum and site entrance fees, guidance services, etc.): Each tour agency offers a different service package, so clarifying what is included in the tour price at the beginning helps prevent any unexpected additional costs later on. Knowing whether transportation, accommodation, meal details, as well as entry fees for museums/sites and guidance services are extra will assist you in budgeting accurately.
Since traffic congestion within the city can increase during the carnival period, it is especially important to arrive on time at meeting points and to gather at the specified times: Due to visitors coming from both outside the city and abroad during the festival period, there may be significant traffic and pedestrian density on the streets and avenues of Adana. To ensure the tour runs smoothly and you can participate in planned events on time, it is important to leave for meeting points earlier than usual and account for potential delays.
As Adana's cuisine can be quite spicy and fatty, it would be helpful to inform the agency of any special dietary requirements or stomach sensitivities you may have before the tour: Local delicacies such as Adana kebab, şalgam, and içli köfte can be heavily spiced, spicy, and fatty, which may require caution for those with stomach issues or following a special diet. By informing the tour agency in advance, it becomes easier to prepare more suitable menus or offer alternative meal options for you, allowing for a more comfortable experience throughout the tour.
