is this turkey tour for women only? Usually with the women tours I have joined - there is one trip to Turkey for the year. BUT you have lots of dates - are those for women only? what is the minimum number you need for the trip to run?

Yes, this particular Turkey tour is exclusively for women. We do have multiple departure dates available throughout the year, so you can simply choose the one that suits you best and book accordingly. In terms of group size, the minimum required for the tour to operate is just one traveller. So even if you're travelling solo, the trip will still go ahead as planned.

The tour guide Erdim was excellent, our driver was excellent,the places we visited were amazing, Eastern Turkey is beautiful however the hotels qere a disaster, tiny rooms, in some I had to share my bed with my luggage as there was no room for it anywhere else, no milk at the breakfast buffet, lots of steps to the hotels with no help offered from staff, no lifts. Yes it was stated that there would be steps however in my experience staff will help with luggage. The only good hotel was the Ozkaya in Sivas where the manager turned on the heating as we arrived soaked from the rain and the ladies in tge kitchen provided omelettes abd yoghurt for breakfast on request, the worst hotel was the Euphrat hotel in Adiyaman, the buffet dinner was very limited in options as was the breakfast and neither were good, but its the only hotel in the area so they have a monopoly, they weren't very friendly either. It poured rain, which formed puddles up the ankles because the water was not draining, my new adidas traibers were ruined, the room waa cold abd some light fixtures didn't work. In all the other hotels except the hotel in Sivas there were issues with hot water, light fixtures, in Aga Konagi in Mardin, the water bottle in my room had a broken seal which tells me it was filled from a tap and not bottled water, I didnt drink it but I could have gotten sick if I hadn't noticed the seal was broken. Safe deposit boxes were practically non existent. The Wimeingaet hitel in Istanbul weren' t able to organise a take away breakfast for us and gave us all sandwiches wrapped on a tray, no bag, no fruit and no juice. In Aga Konagi in Mardin the toulet was in my room with shower doors around it, the hand basin was seperate in the room and the shower was also in the room behind shower doors, I know that these renovated mansions have limitations on how they can change and build because of planning and heritage but a toilet in the room is ridiculous, there was no other room available. I will also be emailing Intrepid about this issue with the hotelsShow more

It wasn’t the Orient Express (couldn’t afford that), but it was a wonderful tour with a small group of amazing travellers and guide. It was well organised and the guide took good care of us all. I have no hesitation in recommending the tour, as long as you ensure you have a medium level of fitness (high level for old people - I’m 75). There is a lot of walking with hills, stairs and cobbled streets.Show more
