Just want to know if the flight to and from it's includ3d.

The flights included only in the tour, from Sofia to Istanbul from Istanbul to Cappadocia and then back to Istanbul.

We are interested to join this tour from Dubronik to istanbul. We are coming fro Philippines and we would like to check the visas needed to this trip. Other than Schengen visa, are there any other visa that we need to secure from Philippines.

As long as you have a valid Schengen visa that will be enough.

is it the same cost? also, what is the refund policy if we need to cancel or change dates?

Yes, it's exactly the same cost only the departure dates you are changing. The cancellation policy is as follows: 60+ days before departure: 10% of the total tour price, 31–60 days before departure: 25% of the total tour price, 15–30 days before departure: 50% of the total tour price, Less than 15 days before departure: No refund. Date Change Policy: You may change your tour dates up to 30 days before departure. If the new dates already have a group departure, the change will be free of charge. However, if there are no other passengers registered on your requested dates, you would need to pay an additional fee to convert the tour into a private one.

The driver was unsafe by Australian standards. Other drivers were honking when he changed lanes without indicating. He drove on country roads stradling the median line, taking blind corners on the wrong side, and drove at high speed. His Luxe vehicle was basic. Stops were not for us to be guided but for him yo have a few smokes. Hotels were clean and comfortable but not 4 star western standard as advertised. The tour covers lots of countries/kilometres but that's it! Cappadocia was fab but my cave hotel room had no window/ ventilation and smelled musty. My son and his partner had a lovely big and airy room. Flights were good.Show more

5/5 Accomodation 5/5 Airport transfers 5/5 Communication with Tour Radar when needed 4/5 Guides; Greece/Turkey (5/5), Armps was great for us in the van also for this second half. However overall 3/5 for me due to Value for Money. I spent $6,733.63AUD on this tour (I wanted my own room) + flights ($4100AUD) in September (end of season) (from Australia) so for ($11,000AUD) value for money was not there. Here is why; 'Luxe' - You cannot call it 'Luxe tour' when Lux = luxury, which in western world means, relaxed and slow paced with 'finer' things. Whilst accomodation was FANTASTIC, the tour was rushed for the first part and most of the days spent entirely in the van with very little warning making it very rushed. The small Van lacked speakers, for those in the back to hear and understand driver giving local information, and usb ports to charge phones for camera's, an absolute must for any tour bus. When whole days are spent in the van, advanced warning is essential. Giving folk time to get snacks the day before, approximate times for stops etc. is also needed for us women so we know when the toilet breaks are. Although our guide for the second part was fantastic at estimating this. 'Self guided' - is not what you think. They give small group tours in local places, you are not 'self guided' ie. Here's a map go find us at end of day. That is what I thought self guided meant, however, all the local guides were great and very informative. Greece and Turkey sections they were sensational. Optional tours don't run unless 50% of the group want to do them - in a group of 4 or 5 this can be awful as it pits people against each other. Adjinis are a young company looking to continue to improve and have been very receptive to feedback. Once vans are updated that will make their tours far more in line with 'Luxe'.Show more
