I am looking for 2 rooms (2 couples) for this tour. Are there any plans to operate a tour on that date?

The only departure date we have available is the 4th of October. I have looked around to see if we have any other tours that suit those dates.

Can u include flight from london Heathrow to Istanbul?

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.

We are trying to book the 2 for 1 trip to Turkey and it is calculating full price. We want and have put a hold on the 30th of Dec for 4 people

The cost for the 30th December departure is $2215 per person twin share. Alternatively there is 15% off departures before the 30th December that may work for you and your friends.

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

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.

Standard of accommodation was superb, when you are on the road all day it makes a huge difference to have a bit of comfort at the end.

It was a most enjoyable tour. I was able to get an insight into Turkey's history, culture and lifestyle in a safe way. Burhan was our friendly guide who was organised, knowledgeable and had the local knowledge, ensuring that we ate at all the best restaurants with the freshest foods (and not get food poisoning), and that we were at the front of the queue for all the tourist spots. Hanka was our friendly trusted driver who made sure our luggage was safely stored and got us to our destinations quickly and safely. The hotels on this tour were really impressive and each had their own character. They were all spacious and had excellent facilities. So after a day of sightseeing, it was nice to either swim at a beach (one of the hotels was literally next to the sea), or soak (or swim) in a hot thermal spa pool. We enjoyed free dinners at all these hotels so thanks for that. I was enjoying the tour so much that when there was an opportunity to extend it, to visit the sights of Cappadocia, I didn't hesitate to grab it with both hands. So, my recommendation here is to do the 10 day tour, not the 7 day tour here from this tour operator. I had to cancel my hotel stay in Istanbul at my expense, but it was worth it, because you just have to check out Cappadocia priceless strange landscapes. I did everything I set out to do, namely see most of the wonderous important historical sights of Turkey, haggle for merchandise, like carpet, leather and jewellery, and even dance with a belly dancer :). Thanks guys for a most enjoyable tour. I do not hesitate to recommend you.Show more
