cost for a single supplement and how many days have more than 4 hours travel time

The single supplement for this tour costs A$827. The longest stretches of travel time over 4 hours are on Day 3, Day 7 and Day 11, though kindly note travel times on all days may vary based on local conditions.

Is hot air balloon cost included in the package? Is departure guaranteed for Oct 4 or 18? How many people already booked the tour for those two days? Do you use the same tour guide for the entire tour? Do the same group of people travel the entire tour? How many shopping stops are there and how much time spent on each?

The hot air balloon ride is an optional excursion; optional activities are not included in the tour price. Both departures are fully confirmed to go ahead, with 47 and 20 passengers booked on Oct 4th and Oct 18th respectively. Yes, the same guide accompanies the group throughout the tour. The same group of passengers will be travelling together for the most part; our tours run conjoined, meaning passengers booked on shorter and longer itineraries will also be part of this tour. They will be leaving earlier or later at certain parts of the itinerary. Shopping stops may vary by the guide and the group. Most shopping stops typically take less than an hour unless passengers prefer to stay and shop longer, though these stops will not interfere with the daily itinerary in any major way.

I like to know if we can't participate in the hot air balloon that we have to pay with the tour, what other options we have? Most tours stay two days in Cappadocia because there's a lot to see, what are we going to do in Cappadocia in one day? Beside the hot sure balloon?

You may opt out of the hot air balloon should you prefer, it's an optional excursion. There are 2 days planned for Cappadocia in the itinerary; the group will be arriving from Ankara which is quite close, leaving quite a lot of time to be spent in Cappadocia exploring the sights.

This was the easiest tour I have ever taken. Just land in Istambul Airport, clear customs and immigration and Ciconia do the rest. We landed a day early and booked accommodation in Old Town, Ciconia organised transfers at no extra cost, even though it was clearly outside their tour. We then did the 11 day Luxury Tour of Turkey with Sami, a very presentable, knowledgeable and courteous guide. Our tour was managed on the fly, hitting everything on the itinerary with ample time to explore and take photos. If we finished somewhere quickly, Sami would suggest other things to see in the area. If we took longer on an attraction, he would juggle the rest of the day and the next, to make sure that we still saw all the attractions without feeling rushed. Sami was the perfect guide. Unfortunately we had one member of our 5 person tour who was somewhat more difficult than anyone else I have ever been on a tour with. Sami was constantly dealing with this while managing the rest of the tour. Sami was amazing. I have already recommended Ciconia to friends, family and some other fellow travellers I met while travelling in Egypt. I am also going to book the Ciconia tour of the Balkans (even though I have never thought of visiting there), based purely on my experience in Turkey. Well done Ciconia!Show more

Our experience was first rate with a wonderful guide Aykut. His love of his country is evident & we learnt so much about Turkey as we sadly hear very little about life here in our part of the world. Our transport was so comfortable & hotels were excellent. We were collected on time at airports even after major delays. The Turkish ?? food experience was also wonderful as Aykut explained all the different dishes to try whenever we had meals together. I have travelled with other tour groups but never at this level of excellence. It’s tiring though….be prepared for a busy schedule & lots of walking.Show more
