    Asked on January 26th, 2023

    Can u include flight from london Heathrow to Istanbul?

    Flights / Transfers
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written January 2023

      The price of our Aegean Explorer tour departing 23 September, 2023 is USD $1,271 per person. This price doesn't include the airfare, unfortunetly we don't assist in booking the flights hence you will need to book your own.

    Robin

    Asked on January 10th, 2023

    How much walking is involved in the Turkey tour? How many hours per day?

    Tour Details
    • On The Go ToursOperator•Written January 2023

      There is quite a bit of walking on this tour, but we cannot give you an exact number of hours in a day. The pace of the tour is very relaxed, but if you do have difficulty walking long distances, we may then require you to complete a tour suitability form to ascertain if this tour will be suitable for you.
