What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Turkey
- Turkey in Depth
Keep this in your brochure I'll be recommending to my travelling friends
- Essential Turkey (18 destinations)
TURKEY TALES: Of all the tours i have been on (which has been a few) this trip was hands down the best tour i have been on. I came to Turkey not knowing what to expect and to be honest a little apprehensive. Although my worries were for naught as i was absolutely blown away by this beautiful country. I dont have a single complaint coming away from this tour. The places we visited were amazing and at all the hotels/pansiyons were hospitable and nice places to stay. The FOOD! ah Turkish food is amazing! We ate at such a diverse range of places and i enjoyed being able to try all the local cuisines. I especially enjoyed the cooking class which a few of us did in Selcuk. Our tour manager and driver were absolutely AMAZING!!! Ekrem was always there if we needed anything and he was always on top of everything, he did his absolute best to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and if we wanted to do extra activities he did his best to facilitate that for us. His love, passion and knowledge of his country made this experience what it was and without him it wouldn't have been the same. At the end of the tour i felt as though i was among family instead of strangers i had only met 2 weeks before. What else can i say? Turkey was amazing and i have been already looking at booking my next holiday there! 10/10! would definitely recommend this tour! The only bad thing was that i didn't do the longer tour! which im definitely kicking myself for!

What our customers ask about Turkey Guided Tours & Trips
What is the best time of year to take a fully guided tour in Turkey?
The sweet spots for touring Turkey fall in spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) when temperatures hover between 20-25°C (68-77°F). These months provide comfortable conditions for exploring Istanbul's historic sites and walking through Cappadocia's valleys. TourRadar's booking data shows these periods are the most popular with travelers leading to increased tour departures.
What level of accommodation can I expect on a fully guided tour in Turkey?
Four-star and boutique hotels form the backbone of Turkey's guided tour accommodations. Properties like the Recital Hotel in Istanbul's Sultanahmet district put travelers in the heart of the action while cave hotels such as Arte Cave and Under Cave in Cappadocia offer distinct regional character. Guest reviews consistently highlight the comfort cleanliness and authentic atmosphere of these carefully selected properties.
Are meals and accommodations typically included on fully guided tours in Turkey?
Standard tour packages cover daily hotel breakfasts and many lunches during sightseeing excursions. An 8-day itinerary typically includes 7 breakfasts and 6 lunches at local restaurants chosen for their authentic cuisine. Accommodations range from seaside stays at the Charisma De Luxe Hotel in Kusadasi to distinctive cave hotels in Cappadocia all included in the base tour price.
What is typically included in a fully guided tour package in Turkey?
Tour packages bundle 4-5 star hotels domestic flights between cities air-conditioned transportation entrance fees and professional English-speaking guides. Stays at properties like the Nidya Hotel and GalC Cave Hotel plus most meals come standard. Packages run 7-15 days with prices from $1500-3500 depending on duration and included features. Airport transfers round out the comprehensive offerings that eliminate planning hassles.
How much free time is typically available during fully guided tours in Turkey?
The schedules mix guided activities with independent exploration particularly in major cities. Istanbul itineraries often leave evenings and occasional half-days open while destinations like Cappadocia balance morning tours with free afternoons. Central locations such as the Pam Thermal Hotel in Pamukkale and Richmond Hotel in Kusadasi make it simple to explore during downtime or join optional excursions like hot air balloon rides.
What is the typical group size for fully guided tours in Turkey?
Tours operate with 8 to 24 participants striking a balance between intimacy and social interaction. Companies like Eskapas use 34-seat coaches for groups of 24 or fewer ensuring space and comfort. The modest size allows smooth transitions between sites like the Blue Mosque and Ephesus while maintaining clear communication between guides and group members at archaeological sites and museums.
