      Harry

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      Our budget is max NZ$2500. I have seen there are private tours available in this price range so wanting to see if you offer anything for this price for 12 days for 5 stars accommodation

    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten February 2026

      Yes, we can fit into the budget of NZD $2500 per person. However, this would be for a group tour. The tours within this price range with be groups tours.

    Asked on January 15th, 2026

    I am looking at this tour for 4 possibly 6 people. Is there any chance we could have a cave hotel in Cappadocia

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten January 2026

      Our tours operate on fixed itineraries with fixed arrangements and accommodations; unfortunately, we are unable to offer accommodations in a cave hotel in Cappadocia. However, you may book accommodations in Cappadocia separately and rejoin the group as per the daily itinerary, consulting your guide during the tour.

    Annette

    Asked on January 11th, 2026

    When you say price based on a shared room. Is this just with 1 other - your partner, or others?

    Accommodation
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten January 2026

      When we say the price is based on a shared room:

      If you book as 1 passenger, you would share the room with one other passenger of the same gender.

      If you book as 2 passengers together, you will share a room only with each other and not with anyone else.

  • T

    Tara

    Asked on December 24th, 2025

    The tour information indicates ages 18-59. I take it given we are 60 and 65, we will not be able to take this tour? Also, can you explain what "partially guided" means?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten December 2025

      You are very welcome to join the tour, even though you are 60 and 65, as long as you are fit, active, and comfortable with the itinerary pace. The age range shown is a guideline rather than a strict restriction, and we regularly welcome travellers over 60 on our tours. Regarding "partially guided", this means that: The main tour itinerary is fully guided, with a tour leader accompanying you throughout. Some optional excursions and free-time activities are not guided, giving you the flexibility to explore independently if you wish. Everything included in the core itinerary is guided as usual.

    Marina

    Asked on November 19th, 2025

    I am 70 years old and excellent health. Am I allowed to go on this trip?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten November 2025

      Yes, of course — you are very welcome to join the trip. If you are travelling with another companion, both of you are fully accepted on the tour.

  • J

    Jorge

    Asked on October 7th, 2025

    Can this tour be booked as a single person in private room (with single supplement)?

    Single supplement
    Tour Details
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten October 2025

      Unfortunately, single room availability is not possible at the moment. You may bring a partner or friend along to share the room with, so you don't have to share with another solo traveler.
