Do you know how much the fees will be for these places? Do you set up admission and tours for us or do we have to book stuff ourselves?

Yes, the admission tickets are not included in the tour price. Your tour guide will have pre-paid skip-the-line tickets, so you will not need to wait in long queues. The cost of the used entry tickets can be paid to your guide in cash (USD, EUR, or Turkish Lira) during the tours. Free entry for children below 8 years old.

What group size can I expect?

Group sizes vary; usually, there will be a minimum of 2 people to operate the tour.

What type of vehicle are we transported in while in Turkey? Are we part of a large group or just our small family group? When we board the ship, it appears to be a huge cruise line. Are we then still with our guide?

Would we be able to leave the ship in Mikonos instead of going back to Turkey on the last day?

Is it possible to customize the tour itinerary?

Yes, we can adjust the itinerary based on your preferences.

What time does the tour end?

The standard check-out time is 8:00 am, and you will be transferred to the airport from Kusadasi.

Do you have any tour dates for December 2024 or January 2025?

Unfortunately, the tour is not available in December or January. You can find the tour dates on our website.

What dietary restrictions can be accommodated?

Let us know your dietary needs, and we will inform the guide and hotels accordingly.

Are there single supplements for solo travelers?

Yes, single supplements are available for solo travelers in private rooms.

What rating (stars) will the hotels have? Can the diet offered accomodate a pregnant lady (no alcohol, cured/smoked/raw meats and fish, no cheese with moulds, no runny eggs, food generally cooked piping hot, etc)

The hotels that will be used for this service are based on 4-star or special-class boutique hotels. On some tours, lunch is set as a set menu, and on some tours, it is an open buffet. I think that if you remind your guides about your sensitivity regarding Diet during the tours, they will be able to help you. The breakfasts will be served at the hotels and I think they will help you if you inform the hotel reception about your diet sensitivities and the same goes for your cruise

How long will the transportation to the airport take?

It typically takes about 1 hour to reach the airport from Kusadasi.

Very comprehensive coverage of the highlights of Türkiye if you only have a week to spare. The guides were knowledgeable and provided good service. Despite the busy schedule especially when transits to airports are involved, the team made sure to provide information and directions in advance. Transfers were seamless and worry-free. Would greatly recommend! Kudos to Meriç, Sedef for their remarkable assistance before and during the tour.Show more
