Will we get picked up from the airport as part of the package?

Can we have a private tour for 6 people (4 adults and 2 children who are 10 & 13)?

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

The tour was lucky to have Charlie as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the tour. Accomodation ranged from very average to excellent especially the hotel Kolin. It was excellent and the Holiday Inn in Atolia was very good as well. The excursions /extra were certainly interesting. However this is where my review questions the cost of these extras. It seems there was quite a variation in the price of these activities across the tour group. While we all did the same extras the information provided prior to the trip by Travel Talk varied greatly. In some case tours of the Blue Mosque and Sophia's and the Palace were listed as free on the info provided but in some cases we were charged 25-30 euros extra. My point is that in the end I paid an extra 252euro plus 170 euro for the balloon ride. Combine this with the $85 exchange fee when I paid the balance of my trip by credit card and it all adds significantly to the cost. The credit card cost was not obvious until after the transaction. Options are needed here. The other ridiculous thing was there was no credit card facility to pay our additional excursion charges which amounted to 13300 TIL in cash. The poor guide needed a bag to collect everyone's money. As mentioned the variation in information on the additional cost coupled with no itemised list upon payment made a number of the party suspicious and annoyed. Especially when we had to find an atm and were charged up 12% commission to use our own cash. I've been on many other tours and they include these costs or ask for pre payment. While the group generally enjoyed the trip the inconsistent information supplied by travel talk needs addressing. Once I return to Australia at the end of May I intend to formally follow up to seek clarity on this issue. Overall I enjoyed my trip very much but there are definitely areas you need to improve. I'm sure you will find this a consistent message in the tour survey feedback forms. Feel free to call me to discuss.!Show more
