    Jean

    Asked on March 11th, 2026

    We have a traveller interested in joining one of your tours. The travellers are aged 67 and 63. Since your age restriction caps at 59, could you kindly advise how strict this policy is and if there's any flexibility for them to still join? Additionally, could you provide some background information on the physical demands of the tour?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten March 2026

      We welcome adventurers of all ages to join our tours, and we're pleased to let you know that senior passengers are more than welcome to participate, as long as they're comfortable with the pace of the itinerary.

      The group will be walking and sightseeing roughly 4-6 hours each day, occasionally on difficult terrain given the sights visited.

    Are you flexible on age - we're fit & mid 60's

    Age Range

    Marlene

    Asked on January 5th, 2026

    I turned 60 on 29th Aug. Just wondering how strict you are with the 18-59 age range rule just being 1 week out.

    Age Range
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten January 2026

      The 18–59 age range is a guideline rather than a strict restriction. Given that you have only just turned 60 a week before the departure, you are absolutely welcome to join the tour. As long as you and your wife are comfortable with the pace and style of the trip, there will be no issue with your participation.

  • C

    Carlos

    Asked on November 30th, 2025

    Do age limitations apply? We are very active and well.

    Age Range
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten November 2025

      Both travelers are very welcome to join the tour. We can confirm that an exemption is possible as long as they are comfortable with the itinerary and its activity level.

      Carlos

      TravelerWritten December 2025

      If we come one day early (Arrive May 1) to Istanbul, can we still have airport pickup to the hotel? We understand that we would pay extra to stay on May 1 in the same hotel included with the tour as on May 2nd and 3rd)?

    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten December 2025

      Yes, you can certainly arrive one day early on May 1st and still have an airport pickup to the hotel. Please note that airport pickup for 2026 dates is available at an additional cost, and it can be arranged as long as you book the pre-night accommodation through us. Pre-night (May 1st): 110 USD per person. Airport transfer: 80 USD per person.

    April

    Asked on June 26th, 2025

    Are there days where there is a lot of driving, or do we get to visit something every day?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten June 2025

      On these days, you spend several hours on the coach. However, every day does include at least one sightseeing stop, so you're not simply traveling point to point with nothing to see.

    • A

      April

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      We are torn between seeing a lot of sites, which would include a lot of driving and wouldn't be as relaxing, or choosing three spots for example and seeing those more in depth and having more of a slower paced vacation

    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten June 2025

      If a relaxed pace is a priority—especially considering the comfort of everyone in your group—it can be very rewarding to pick fewer bases and explore each area more fully. For example, you could spend more time in places like Cappadocia, Fethiye, or Istanbul, where there's plenty to see without long transfers every day.

    Frank

    Asked on March 12th, 2025

    Three friends want to know if a three person room is possible in the accommodation and how much it might cost

    Accommodation
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten March 2025

      A triple room can be arranged where available. All prices are based on shared accommodation, so the individual price would remain the same per person and be multiplied by three for the total cost

  • G

    Greg

    Asked on February 18th, 2025

    Is it possible to get an age exception for this tour? I'm 66 but in great physical health. I do strength excercies and yoga ever day, and go hiking at least once a week. And I'm in better shape than most 50 year olds.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten February 2025

      Based on your excellent physical health and active lifestyle, we would be happy to make an exception for you on this tour. We appreciate you letting us know about your fitness level, and we're confident you'll be able to fully enjoy the experience.
