  It was such a pleasure having Mr Senol organise the whole trip. Being a short stopover with many logistical parts, all the connections were made smoothly. The level of detail in communication is to be commended. The team even moved heaven and earth to reunite me with my iPad that I had left behind by accident on a bus. Would happily recommend Mr Senol’s services.

  This was an ideal tour to see many of the best places in Turkey. The itinerary hits all the key destinations that you would want to visit, and I never really left a town thinking that it wasn’t enough time. However, there are a lot of long bus trips, and despite what Intrepid suggests, the buses are very uncomfortable. The seats are small and cramped, and unlike what the itinerary states there is no wifi/power points or coffee served on any of the busses. Be prepared to spend the first half of the day travelling to a destination, and then the next half site seeing. In saying this, unlike other tours I have done. there were never any early starts, and it was a relatively easy paced tour. Especially with a place like turkey, the destinations speak for themselves, and we were taken to the best. Intrepid’s style Of travel is honestly one of the best you can choose, we went to good local restaurants, and were taken to authentic places. Tours can often feel like you are walking into a tourist trap, but Intrepid goes that extra mile to provide an authentic and local experience. Our accomodation was comfortable and always seemed to be in the heart of town. We have had some winners with staying in a Cave at Cappadocia and had a few hotels with pools throughout the stay. If you don’t like the heat, consider travelling to Turkey in September or later, because there were plenty of times when the heat was stifling. Often what makes a tour enjoyable is the group you are with and the tour guide. My group constituted of 14 females and 2 males. Most of us were solo travellers and all Australians ranging on average 23-26 years old. Our tour guide was lovely and we often had a good laugh with her, however I felt that her poor English was of detriment to her abilities as a guide. There were many times when we were either given wrong information or extremely lacking details. In many places like the underground cities, I left feeling disappointed that we were given hardly any details about the fascinating people, and when pushed, our guide gave rather vague answers. Another example, was before the boat trip around Fethiye (which was an incredible highlight) we weren’t told that there wouldn’t be any free water provided on board (which I think is an essential piece of information, especially because we were promised that every accomodation would have free/clean water dispensers). Although buying water bottles wasn’t expensive, it was double the price than onshore, and a horrendous waste to continuously buy small plastic bottles. Compared to other tours that I have done with Topdeck and Contiki, I felt that we were not given nearly enough information throughout the tour and this often left me having multiple unanswered questions about the places we had visited and the plans for the day. Turkey is a great company for someone on a budget. Please note though that tipping is custom, and were asked by our guide to pitch in an additional $45(aud) each to cover tips- as Australians we don’t tip at home, so I was happy to leave it in the hands of our guide. On average I was spending around $50aud per day to cover food, shopping and sites. Overall, despite small negatives, I would recommend this tour to anyone who is travelling solo, on a budget or want the comfort of a tour. Intrepid is an incredible company that allows you to see the best parts of a country with like-‘minded people and a low price tag.
