13-day Best of Turkey (Small Group Tour)
- Anatolian Civilizations (Small Group-Admissions included)
I dreamed for a long time to visit Istanbul. This tour fulfilled all my expectations. That was magical! From our arrival, the welcoming by the staff was perfect and the logistic well organised. The schedule was well balanced between the sightseeings and your own free time, as well as the mains touristic attractions and the more secret ones. The guide was passionated and warm, that make you feel that you’re visiting the city with a friend. I also advice to let yourself tempted by at least one optional excursion, depending on what you like. That was an experience off the beaten track where we keep incredible memories and the wish to come back soon!
- Absolutely Turkey (Small Group-Admissions included)
The trip to Turkey was awesome. Really enjoyed and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we were all taken care of. Would definitely recommend this trip.
What our customers ask about Turkey Small Group Tours
What is the typical group size for small group tours in Turkey?
Small group tours in Turkey typically host 12-14 travelers keeping the experience intimate. While some tours like the Turkey Explorer occasionally accommodate up to 19 people the smaller size allows for more personal attention. Boutique accommodations such as the Efe Boutique Hotel in Kusadasi and Melekler Evi Cave Hotel in Cappadocia are selected specifically for these smaller groups making the experience feel more like traveling with friends than a large tour group.
What types of accommodation can I expect on a small group tour in Turkey?
Small group tours focus on local authentic accommodations that showcase Turkish hospitality. Travelers stay in carefully selected properties like the Arte Cave Hotel in Cappadocia the Arden City Hotel in Istanbul's historic district and the Efe Boutique Hotel in Kusadasi. These properties offer a more personal connection to the destination compared to international chain hotels. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The hotels were very comfortable and provided a perfect rest after long days of sightseeing. I particularly appreciated the intimate atmosphere of the boutique hotels."
How much free time is built into small group itineraries in Turkey?
The schedules blend guided activities with independent exploration. Travelers have free evenings in cities like Istanbul and Kusadasi plus flexible time in Cappadocia for optional activities. One TourRadar traveler noted: "Our guide gave us enough information about each day's itinerary and free time to explore on our own." The small group format allows for spontaneous stops at local markets viewpoints or other points of interest based on group preferences.
What is the average duration of small group tours in Turkey?
Most tours run between 7-11 days with 8-day itineraries like the Highlights of Turkey tour being the most common choice. This timeframe lets travelers explore major destinations including Istanbul Cappadocia Ephesus and Pamukkale while maintaining the benefits of traveling with a smaller group.
What's different about meal experiences on small group tours?
The smaller group size opens doors to authentic dining experiences at family-run establishments rather than tourist-oriented buffets. Groups can enjoy meals in traditional cave restaurants in Cappadocia or neighborhood eateries in Istanbul. One TourRadar traveler mentioned "We could eat at charming local places where our guide knew the owners instead of big tourist restaurants."
