- Breakfasts included in the hotel are generally continental, featuring butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee, served in a dedicated hall for groups.
- Panorama city tours included in the tour package are designed for general introduction, lasting at most 2-3 hours, without museum or archaeological site entries. These tours, along with other tours in the program, may be affected by local authorities, weather conditions, or events, making it impossible to perform certain tours.
