Can you tell me how many people are on the tour? How much time are you in the van? Do you have an itinerary that is more detailed than what you have on your website? I have to be honest with you. I'm 81 and I can't sleep "anywhere" anymore. What do you suggest for me to find out more details? We are definitely young in heart and mind.

For our amazing Istanbul to Ephesus tour the group size ranges from 2-28, however the average is usually 20. I have attached the trip notes for the tour to this email and they will tell you a very comprehensive overview of the tour, hotels and other really great tips. In terms of your age and given you are "young in heart and spirit" this tour should pose no issues, however with all our travelers over 75 you would need to complete a Tour Suitability Form.

We had an amazing week in Türkiye with On The Go and a fantastic tour guide, Lale. She was a wealth of knowledge on Turkish history, culture, traditions, food and kept us all entertained, even on some of the long travel days. The highlights of the tour were Istanbul, Ephesus and especially Cappadocia thanks to an incredible experience riding a hot air balloon at sunrise. The hotels were mostly fine and the food options were excellent. The roughly ten hour bus journey to Cappadocia was a bit much, so I’m glad we opted to fly back to Istanbul rather than taking the bus back on the last day. Overall, an excellent trip representing good value and covering a lot of ground!Show more
