I travel alone, only one lady. How can you solve the accommodation, can you find another lady to stay in 2 beds room or, have I pay an additional fee for 1 bedroom? I prefer shared bedroom.

We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Should you wish to opt for the single supplement, we can do so at an additional cost.

Can I book the tour without the night in Istanbul and flight in second day and meeting the group in second day? Does that change the price?

Is it possible to book a single room? How much ist it?

Day 3 of this itinerary states 30 hours of travel time? Is this a mistake?

This should be 30 minutes, not 30 hours.

Is the flight from Istanbul to Adiyaman included in the total price?

Yes the internal flights from Istanbul to Adiyaman is included in the price of the trip

Does the tour go to Mt Ararat or just drive by a sizable distance away?

The tour doesn't get fully up close however, you do take in views of Mt Ararat. See the day description below. (Day 6) Visit the Van Citadel this morning, built by the ancient kingdom of Urartu. From there transfer to the previous capital of the Republic of Ararat, Dogubeyazit. Explore Ishak Pasha Palace then take in views of Mt. Ararat and across the mountains where the possible resting place of Noah's Ark is said to be located. Continue on to Kars for a brief orientation walk, then settle in for the evening with free time.

The trip was well organized, and there was plenty of time for sightseeing. It would have been nice to spend a little more time in Urfa, since there are some interesting museums there as well. The selection of accommodations was great, though unfortunately some of the restaurants we visited for lunch were not. The restaurant for our farewell dinner was also overpriced. Perhaps these meals should be included if you don’t have a choice of where to eat. Aside from that, I was very satisfied. Our guide, with his friendly manner, was also a great companion on our trip.Show more

Single supplement

  We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Should you wish to opt for the single supplement, we can do so at an additional cost.
