I am considering taking your tour in October of this year. I will be traveling alone but would like to be paired with another female traveling alone rather than pay a single supplement. Would your company be able to pair me with another solo female traveler?

Our tours are designed with shared accommodations, pairing solo travellers of the same gender and similar age together in shared rooms. Shared rooms are typically twin or triple rooms, based on local availability.

Do you offer international flight from Canada? Do we need to book individually? Or can one person book for everybody?

I can offer you a 3% discount for the group.

Could you please send us some details about the boat facilities, the room types and facilities, do the rooms have private bathrooms and if the rooms are air-conditioned or not?

Cabins are usually available in twin or double configurations, each equipped with its own ensuite bathroom to ensure comfort during your stay. While there is no air-conditioning on the gulet, each cabin is designed with windows to offer natural ventilation and enhance your experience on board.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Please let us know of any dietary restrictions in advance, and we will strive to accommodate your needs during the tour.

What is the group size for the tour?

The average group size for our tours is about 26 participants, allowing for a fulfilling travel experience without overcrowding.

Just a quick question, im interested in tour Id 20851 travelling to Turkey. Can the price be negotiated? I also want to add 2 balloon rides into this trip.

Our prices are not negotiable, so it will be same price what you see online. Optional activities & entrance fees are to be paid at the destination which are set rates of third party supplier's.

Can I join the tour if I am over 60 years old?

While our tours are generally aimed at a younger demographic, older travellers are welcome, especially those who are fit and healthy. We ensure your comfort and safety throughout the journey.

What is the additional fee for opting for a single supplement on the tour?

The additional fee for choosing a single supplement on the tour is subject to specific terms and conditions related to the tour package you choose.
