Is it possible to take the tour in Spanish?

Yes we have every Saturday a guaranteed Spanish departure. Please let me know your customer's trip date to quote it.

I am a solo traveller and would like to book a room shared with another solo traveller.

Unfortunately since pandemic we don't match two solos into one double room. Do you want me to quote it in a single room?

My friend and I are in wheelchairs. We can walk short distances and use bus stairs. Can your tours accom us?

Unfortunately, our tours require a minimum 2-3 miles walking per day and the terrain is not easy almost impossible in some sites such as Cappadocia, Ephesus etc for wheelchair. I recommend you to make it private so that you will have your own pace and agenda with a private guide in each region.

Is it possible to extend the tour by adding more days?

Yes, we can organize additional nights at the same hotels of the tour.

Can you clarify the accommodations we will stay at during the tour?

Your first hotel is definitely Hotel Yigitalp 4*, and other hotels along with the trip document will be ready 30 days prior to the trip date.

What are the usual starting times each morning? Does this require early wake ups?

Usual wake up is between 08:00am and 08:30am.

What provisions are made for travelers with mobility issues?

Boats and some other transport options are equipped with ramps; however, travelers are advised to inform us of any severe mobility issues to ensure proper arrangements can be made.

Could you please let me know how much is the hot air balloon and if there's availability for the optional activity if i book the tour that starts on Sep 7th? Also, I'm a single traveler, do you happen to have someone else that's looking to share a room? What are the ages of the guests doing this tour.

This tour is sold out for the requested period. And we do not allow to match two solos into one room since pandemic. Frankly it is not requested anymore since. The ages are almost (30-60) every age. If you are able we can book the Turkey part which is available starting on September 7th and you can continue to Greece at the end.

Is there a single supplement fee for travelers who want a private room?

Yes, there is a single supplement fee for travelers who would like to have a private room throughout the tour.

What are the age restrictions for this tour?

There are no specific age restrictions for this tour. Families with children are welcome; however, the tour does involve a fair amount of walking.

Very good overall. Except that I paid on September 30, 2 tickets for Balloon Ride = 610 Euros; and 2 tickets for Turkish Dinner = 140 Euros, Total = 750 Euros; to be held on October 01. The Turkish Dinner did take place, but the Balloon Ride, leaving the Hotel 5 minutes away, we were returned due to the suspension of the same, because of bad weather conditions? Mr. Tolga, the Group Guide, told us on October 2nd, that we would be refunded 610 Euros directly to my credit card, from where the payment was made? As of today 25.Oct.2025, on My Credit Card, there is only a Pending Charge for 750 Euros = 16,221.29 Mexican Pesos (30.Sep.2021). THE BALLOON RIDE PAYMENT, WHICH DID NOT TAKE PLACE DUE TO BAD WEATHER, FOR 610 EUROS = 13,193.31 MEXICAN PESOS, HAS NOT BEEN REFUNDED TO MY CREDIT CARD. THANK YOU. ,Show more

This was a tour for individuals interested in the ancient world and civilisation's past, as well as enjoying stunning landscapes and present cultures in these countries. The tour guides, one for Greece and one for Turkey, were flawless. The cuisine was the Mediterranean diet on steroids, and the hotels well exceeded our expectations. We were glad we were on a smaller group tour because there are many more possibilities for exploring than on larger group tours. We'd want to thank our guide Selim to provide us with this wonderful experience.Show more

This tour of Greece and Turkey was an incredible journey! The guides were very knowledgeable, and one of them was also really funny, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The accommodations were comfortable and often exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious, giving us a real taste of the local cuisine. From the ancient ruins in Athens to the bustling bazaars in Istanbul, every day was an adventure. The hot-air balloon ride in Cappadocia was a standout experience that I'll never forget. Overall, a well-organized and unforgettable trip!Show more
