DMC ترکیه برای آژانس‌های اسپانیایی‌زبان: گروه‌های ۲۰ تا ۴۵ نفره

Yes: Get Turkey Tours, a licensed Turkish agency (TÜRSAB A-15751) operated by Viracocha Travel, works as the local partner for travel agencies in Spain and Latin America, including closed groups of 20 to 45 travellers. We plan and run the Turkish part of the trip, with licensed guides, coaches, hotels and domestic flights, and every agency rate is quoted in writing for each enquiry. Our public Grand Turkey tour, 10 days, from $2,800 per person, shows the kind of route most groups start from.

This page is written for agencies selling Turkey in Spanish: what your passengers need at the border depending on their passport, how a group of 20 to 45 moves around the country, how Spanish-speaking guides are arranged, the details that catch groups out at the main sites, and what to send us for a quote. Partner enquiries start on our travel agents page.

Entry rules by market: check every passport in the group

The commonest problem with a Spanish-speaking group is not the itinerary but one passenger on a different passport. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists these rules for ordinary passport holders:

Points to build into your pre-departure checks:

• Passport validity. Turkish rules require a passport to be valid for at least 60 days beyond the permitted stay, and the ministry recommends six months. Many airlines check for six months at check-in.
• Spanish ID cards. Spain is on the ministry's list of countries whose citizens may enter Türkiye with a national ID card. A passport is still the safer document for a group, because airline systems often ask for passport data.
• Mexican groups and Greece. The Mexican e-Visa is single entry. If the programme leaves Turkey for Greece and comes back, the e-Visa does not cover the second entry. Our Turkey trip from Mexico page explains the options.
• Residents on other passports. A passenger living in Spain or Argentina on another nationality's passport follows the rules for that passport, not for the country of residence.
• Only the official e-Visa site. Tell your passengers to apply at evisa.gov.tr and nowhere else. Look-alike sites charge large service fees.

Group sizes, coaches and Spanish-speaking guides

For groups of 20 to 45, the vehicle and the guide shape the whole programme.

Vehicles. A group of about 20 to 30 usually travels in a midibus, which fits narrow streets in the old towns and the smaller car parks at some sites. Larger groups need a full-size coach of around 46 seats. Coaches cannot stop everywhere in Istanbul's old city, so the day plan includes short walks between the drop-off points and the monuments. Tell us the exact number of passengers and tour leaders, and we size the vehicle to the group rather than the other way round.

Licensed guides. Under Turkey's Professional Tour Guiding Law (No. 6326), only licensed tourist guides may guide, and each guide's work card lists the languages they are licensed in. Plan one guide per coach. On a circuit across the country, the group either travels with one guide licensed for every region on the route, or uses a local guide in each region.

Spanish-speaking guides. Our standard guide language is English. A Spanish-speaking guide is arranged on request, subject to availability, and we confirm the guide's name and language in writing before the programme is final. Send your dates as early as you can, especially for spring and autumn departures. Our page on the Spanish-speaking guide in Istanbul explains how the request works.

Your tour leader. If your agency sends a tour leader, tell us at the quote stage, because the tour leader needs a seat in the vehicle and on the domestic flights, and a room.

Flights into Turkey and between regions

International arrival. From Spain, Turkish Airlines flies to Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side, and Pegasus has its Istanbul base at Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side. From Latin America, Turkish Airlines connects Istanbul with Mexico City and Cancún, and flies nonstop between São Paulo and Istanbul; groups from other countries usually connect in one of these hubs or in Europe. Check which Istanbul airport each part of the group lands at: moving a coach between IST and SAW takes well over an hour.

Domestic flights. A circuit with Cappadocia and Ephesus normally includes two or three domestic flights: Istanbul to Cappadocia, Cappadocia to Izmir for Ephesus, and back to Istanbul. Two points matter for groups:

1. Baggage. On our group routes the domestic ticket includes 15 kg of checked baggage and 8 kg in the cabin. Long-haul passengers from Latin America often arrive with more. Either warn passengers before departure, or ask us to price extra baggage on the domestic sectors, or replace one flight with a coach transfer.
2. Early departures. The first flights to Cappadocia leave early, and on some programmes the hotel pickup is before dawn. Make sure your passengers know this before they travel, especially senior groups.

Turkey and Greece. Many Spanish-speaking agencies sell Turkey with Greece. Istanbul and Athens are linked by short flights, and there are seasonal ferries from the Greek islands to the Turkish coast. Our viaje a Turquía y Grecia page explains both, and our 12-day Turkey and Greece tour, from $4,195 per person, shows a combined route with flights and ferries.

Running the main sites with a group

A few details make or break a group day at Turkey's main sites.

• Hagia Sophia. Foreign visitors pay €25 for the visitor route to the upper galleries, rising to €30 on 1 January 2027. The ground floor is used for prayer. Groups queue together, so the guide times the visit away from the midday prayer.
• The Blue Mosque and other working mosques. Visitors enter between prayer times. Women cover their hair, and everyone covers shoulders and knees and removes their shoes. Friday midday prayer is the busiest time, so plan mosque visits for another part of the day.
• Weekly closures. Topkapı Palace is closed on Tuesdays, Dolmabahçe Palace on Mondays and the Grand Bazaar on Sundays. Build the Istanbul days around them.
• Ephesus. Foreign visitors pay €40 until 31 March 2027 and €45 from 1 April 2027, with the Terrace Houses on a separate ticket. Groups usually enter at the upper gate and walk downhill, with the coach waiting at the lower gate.
• Ticket prices in euros. Turkey's ministry sites price foreign-visitor tickets in euros and charge them in lira at the day's rate. For a group quoted in dollars or euros, say clearly whether tickets are included. Our update on Turkey museum prices for 2027 lists the new prices that apply from April 2027.
• Faith groups. Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary and the churches of Cappadocia are the backbone of most Catholic and Evangelical group routes. Our Seven Churches of Revelation tour page and our religious tours show the usual programmes.

Programmes to build on

These are public tours from our site, with their public starting prices per person. They are a starting point for your own programme, not agency rates.

For a closed group, we rebuild the programme around your dates and numbers: hotel category, meal plan, guide language, which tickets are included, and whether domestic flights or coach transfers suit the group better. Our tailor-made Turkey tour page shows how custom routes are built.

How quotes work and what to send

We do not publish agency rates. A price for a group in Turkey depends on the dates, the hotels, the size of the group and what is included, so we quote each enquiry in writing. The written quote sets out the day-by-day programme, the hotels or their category, the price basis and currency, exactly what is included and excluded, how long the quote is valid, and the payment and cancellation terms for that booking.

To get a complete quote in as few emails as possible, send:

1. Dates or the month, and the length of the trip.
2. Number of passengers and the room split: twins, doubles and singles, plus any tour leaders.
3. Passport nationalities in the group, so we can flag visa issues early.
4. Regions and sights, or the theme of the trip: classic, faith, culture or Turkey with Greece.
5. Hotel category, from economy to luxury, and the meal plan you want to sell.
6. Guide language, and whether you want one guide throughout or local guides in each region.
7. International flight times, or the airports and times you are considering.
8. Special needs: diets, mobility, religious services, celebrations.

We do not promise free places, discounts or deadlines that we have not confirmed in writing. Whatever is agreed for your group, including any place for the tour leader, is stated in the quote.

Licence, contract and who does what

Before you send passengers to any Turkish partner, check three things: the operating licence from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, TÜRSAB membership, and the licence group. An A-group licence is the category for agencies that organise tours for foreign visitors. You can check us by name and licence number, A-15751, with TÜRSAB's agency search. Our page on choosing a DMC in Istanbul lists the questions to ask any partner, and our Turkey tour operator for travel agents page explains how private and group products differ.

In a normal split, your agency sells the trip, holds the client contract and payment, and books international flights if you sell them. We run the Turkish part: guides, vehicles, hotels, domestic flights and the contacts on the ground. During the trip, your tour leader and your office can reach us on WhatsApp.
