    Jacob

    Asked on April 27th, 2023

    I am a survivor and mountaineer trainer that take people on expeditions regularly. I am planning to take a group of approximately 10 people on a 5 days hiking tour, full board. The area should have wonderful sceneries, camping areas, possibly rivers or lakes, mountain / hills if I want to set up some rope courses for training. Max 5 hrs. per day hike. I would need a guide to take us from Istanbul to location and round transportation. Is this something you do?
