Could you please provide more details about the boat? What are the sleeping arrangements? Is this a non-smoking tour? What kind of food is served? Could you share more about the guide's experience?

Turkish Gulets are traditional, all wooden Turkish sailing boats, with a spacious deck that includes a dining area. They vary in size, anywhere from 2 up to 12 cabins, but our Gulet's are usually 6-8 cabins in size. All boats are equipped with basic fishing lines as well as flippers and snorkels to use in the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. The boats will have ample space to relax in or out of the sun as you sail. You will be in a double/twin cabin with en suite shower and WC (equivalent to 3 star standard of accommodation). Smoking is not permitted onboard. A mixture of traditional Turkish and international food is available. The captain and all of the crew have extensive experience of the waters and locations visited on the tour.

How big are the rooms? Do people sleep on the deck or in the rooms? Do you cater for vegetarians?

This tour you will see that you will stay on an air-conditioned Gulet, in a double cabin with en suite shower and WC (equivalent to 3 star standard of accommodation). Gulets are traditional, all wooden Turkish sailing boats, with a spacious deck that includes a dining area. They vary in size, anywhere from 2 up to 12 cabins, but our Gulet's are usually 6-8 cabins in size. On-board you'll find comfortable cabins all of which offer an en-suite shower and toilet. All meals during your trip are prepared on the boat and enjoyed in stunning surroundings. We can notify our ground handler of special meal requests and all attempts will be made to satisfy these requests.

What is the best way to get from Basel to Bodrum? Is there any way that we can fly to that would have a direct connection to Bodrum and bypass Istanbul? Do we need to take the train to Zurich in order to fly to Istanbul? Are there any airlines that fly direct to Bodrum from there?

The best option would be to fly with Pegasus Airlines from Basel to Bodrum on 05/07/24. Its via Istanbul SAW and there are no direct flights. Total flight time including layover is approx 5 hours 55 mins and cost will range from $350-500 pp.

The hotels were great. The Troy tour started late which meant getting back to Istanbul late which isn’t great if you have an early morning flight out. The Troy tour should be a morning tour esp as the heat in the afternoon can be too much. The Gallipoli tour was well worth doing and was run well. The driver on the way to the Gallipoli tour was awful. Speeding, weaving in and out of traffic and many of us found him to be really rude.Show more

It had some good highlights, and provided an efficient way to see some key locations. I was not impressed, however, with the request once the tour had commenced for participants to pay a specified cash amount in Euros. The machinations behind that are startlingly obvious. Suggestion: shift this from the small print and be more explicit about costings. The second criticism relates to marketing. For all intents and purposes, it was an eight day tour. A final positive comment: The hotels went well above my expectation.Show more

There were fabulous highlights but also serious disappointments on our tour. Definitely some improvements could be made. Firstly the demand for cash payments is inexcusable in this day and age. The cash payment requirement raised concerns for us . We felt the explanation provided did not align with our experience during the tour as the tour used a credit card for all but the caravanseri. The documentation referred only to payment in euros. Euro is a currency. Cash is a form of payment. It was horrendously expensive to have to convert the inflated amount to cash and this needs addressing urgently. Soured the whole experience. The hotels were only just okay and certainly not the advertised 4star. The food at the Cappadocia hotel was abysmal. Inedible, in fact. But the itenerary and the sights were fabulous and we loved the country and the places we visited. Our guide Gurkan had a great sense of humour and was always very cheerful. The bus was very comfortable and we were thankful for the charge points wifi and water provided.Show more

  Are your vessels air conditioned? Is it possible to store luggage on land with the company while we are onboard?
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written September 2025
  Yes our boats do have AC, but we do not have a luggage service on land. You would need to bring your belongings or we could possible assist in finding a luggage service provider close to the dock for you.
