      Anthony

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      Will the guide for this tour have experience with biblical history and early Christianity, especially regarding the Seven Churches?

    • A

      Anthony

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      While we understand this is a cultural and historical tour, will there be biblical explanations or context provided at the Seven Churches sites?

      Anthony

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      Could you confirm the hotel standards and whether the itinerary is suitable and safe for a teenager?

      Anthony

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      Do you often have families or younger travelers on this tour?

    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      Unfortunately, we currently do not have any bookings for the dates you are interested in. Therefore, it seems that the tour will not be operating on those dates.

    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      Our guide will be highly knowledgeable about the subject and will have sufficient experience and expertise to answer questions related to the tour.

    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      During the Seven Churches tour, the necessary information and explanations will be provided at each site visited. That said, while the Seven Churches are an important part of the itinerary, the overall focus of the tour is more on historical and cultural aspects. As religious topics can be sensitive, our guides adapt their commentary according to the group dynamics.

    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      We carefully select hotels that are safe, well-regarded, and centrally located. We have not experienced any safety-related issues with our tours. We believe that the itinerary would also be suitable for your 13-year-old daughter.

    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      Our tours generally attract elderly couples (often in their 70s and 80s) as well as families.

    Wendy

    Asked on December 29th, 2025

    As a person with Celiac disease, I am wondering if my strict gluten free diet can be accommodated with this tour and while traveling in Turkey?

    Meals
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten December 2025

      Please be assured that your dietary requirements can be accommodated. Once you inform the guide about your gluten-free diet, they will be happy to assist you throughout the tour. Meal breaks can be arranged at suitable restaurants where you will be able to dine comfortably.

    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten December 2025

      At this time, the first inquiry for this departure date has come from you, and there are no other confirmed bookings yet. Based on our records, you are planning to join the tour as a group of four participants. If you wish, we would be happy to organize this departure as a private VIP tour exclusively for your group. We can also share a tailored price offer for the VIP option upon request.

      In the event that the tour is confirmed or needs to be cancelled, you will be informed definitively one month in advance.

      Accommodation on Day 1 will be at the Golden Age Hotel, located in the Taksim area of Istanbul. We would, of course, be happy to assist with pre-accommodation arrangements. The rate for pre-accommodation is USD 150 per room, per night.

      Wendy

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      what is your minimum number of participants to ensure this tour runs as advertised? (May 6-15)

      b) you mention VIP options for our group of 4. What would they look like to ensure truly a Biblical tour sometime between May 5-16 (our window of timing). Also wondering if the VIP tour could be made shorter to keep within a reasonable cost?

    Asked on June 6th, 2025

    Can you confirm this is the Australian dollar price please

    Price / Availability
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      Prices are displayed according to the country our guests are entering from and the currency they choose. And the current price of our tour, with the promotion, is $1,839.00 USD per person. Due to exchange rate changes, I cannot confirm the net AUD price. We proceed with the AUD price that appears on your home screen.

    Ellen

    Asked on April 4th, 2025

    Does this tour include time to visit the Green Mosque in Bursa; and Selimiye Mosque and Rumi's Mevlâna Museum in Konya? We like this route but want to include these two Muslim sites and ideally, more time in Cappadocia. If this tour doesn't take time for these sites, do you have another which might be a better fit?

    Other
    Tour Details
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      The tour you are interested in unfortunately does not include the mosques you mentioned, and we do not have a detailed itinerary for those specific sites. However, we do have a comprehensive tour that starts around the same dates.

    Asked on March 9th, 2025

    I am looking for a guide that had a deep knowledge of Biblical knowledge and will greatly improve my experience with all of the information. Do any of the trips April 9, April 23, or May 7 have a guide that already has great reviews and has proven to have an excellent background in Biblical knowledge?

    Tour Details

      Jeffrey

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Is there any information you can provide me with? This will be crucial in my decision making

    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      I want you to know that I will do my best in this matter and that the best guide will be provided for the Biblical tour. However, unfortunately, your request is the first one for this tour in April. Therefore, I regret to inform you that the tour will not take place.

    How much travel time on the bus each day? What is the longest drive time? Are hotels provided each night or is one night spent in bus travel?

    Accommodation
    Transport
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten September 2024

      You are staying at a hotel every night, so there won't be a day when you'll spend the night on the bus. Generally, bus journeys take about 5 hours, but there will be breaks during intercity transfers.

      Yes, the hotels included are typically 4-star accommodations and a cave hotel in Cappadocia.

  • B

    Barbara

    Asked on August 25th, 2024

    We would like to sign up for the balloon ride in Cappadocia. Is this something we need to do now, or can we wait until we get to Turkey and do it there?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten August 2024

      You can sign up when you arrive in Cappadocia. There is no need to make a reservation in advance because this activity depends on the weather.
