when there is a choice of a private room, does this mean a private bathroom?

Yes, each room has its own private bathroom. The hotels we arrange are 4-star properties.

How much per person is the Gold Package?

Hotel accommodations can be upgraded with the "Gold Package" mentioned in the list for 340 USD per person (per person in a double room). Upgrade fee can be added to the tour price (on price break down).

Could you please share a breakdown of the costs for entrance fees to the historical sites and museums?

Here is the list of the sites that have entry fees: Topkapi Palace Incl. Hagia Irene: 55 USD, Hagia Sophia: 30 USD, Ancient Ephesus: 45 USD, House of Mary: 15 USD, Pamukkale: 35 USD, Tunektepe Cable Car: 15 USD, Troy Ancient City: 33 USD, Pergamum: 18 USD, Asklepion: 15 USD. The tour guide will have pre paid skip the line tickets to avoid long ticket queues. The cost of used entry tickets can be paid to your guide in cash dolar, euro or turkish lira at tours.

Are there different rates for 4 or 5 star hotels? At the moment the deal on Tour Radar is AUD $2,188 per person, what hotel package does that include, and what would the cost be for a higher hotel package?

Flight from Antalya to Kayseri can be arranged according to available flights. There are flights every 2h from Antalya to Istanbul but there is no direct flight from Antalya to Cappadocia every day, there is on specific days. The price difference of the flight tickets may add to your trip details.

What are the optional extra tour experiences and the charges for selecting them? Example: Balloon ride over Cappadocia, underground city? Is there a separate charge for the flight back to Istanbul on the 7th day? Please tell more about the Overnight train. Are you in seats overnight or seat converted to lie down? Is the train air conditioned? Do we transport our own luggage, or how is that managed?

The tour is fully guided group tour in a high model minibus. This package does not cover visiting Cappadocia so it won't be able to add balloon flight. If you would like to visit Cappadocia, I can share one of our best seller Turkey packages that covers Cappadocia also. There is no train journey in this package. The land transportation will be in a high model vehicle. The minibuses we use have a place where the guests can keep their luggages.
