What people love about touring Turkey solo
- Turkey in Depth
Have been to a lot of tours and I have to say that this is one of the best. I enjoyed every place we visited and all the activities involved. The tour guide (Alkan) was exceptional. He is very knowledgeable, patient and efficient. He has a very palpable love for his country and that brushed up on me and everyone on the tour. The driver of our bus (Cenghis) was very good as well. I felt safe with him on the wheel. A must try for everyone who wants to visit Turkey. Highly recommended!
- Essential Turkey (18 destinations)
Simply amazing! The guide, destinations, and experience was truly magical!
- Premium Turkey in Depth
This was a great trip with an excellent guide. Our driver Aper was brilliant negotiating a terrible rain storm while crossing mountainous areas with very narrow roads on one occasion.
What our customers ask about Turkey Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the best time for solo travelers to visit Turkey?
The sweet spots for visiting Turkey fall during spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October). These periods offer comfortable temperatures and well-balanced group sizes. Data shows these months attract 30-40% of annual solo bookings. You'll find shorter lines at key sites like Ephesus and Pamukkale. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Traveling in September meant perfect weather and a great mix of people in the group."
How safe is Turkey for solo travelers on guided tours?
Guided tours in Turkey provide a secure environment with experienced guides and vetted transportation. Tour operators choose accommodations in safe central locations such as the Celal Sultan Hotel in Istanbul's historic district. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "As a solo female traveler I felt completely safe and well looked after throughout the entire tour."
What kind of accommodation arrangements are made for solo travelers?
Tour accommodations include established properties like the Golden Age Hotel in Istanbul and the Uchisar Hotel in Cappadocia. Solo travelers can choose between private rooms with a supplement ($35-50 USD nightly) or shared twin rooms with another tour member of the same gender. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The cave hotels in Cappadocia were particularly social with common areas perfect for meeting other travelers."
How are meal arrangements handled for solo travelers on Turkey tours?
Tours include daily breakfast and select group dinners at partner venues like the Adem Pira Hotel in Pamukkale and Cappadocia's cave restaurants. These shared meals create natural opportunities to connect with fellow travelers. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The group meals were fantastic for bonding with other travelers especially as a solo participant."
Which areas of Turkey are most solo traveler-friendly on guided tours?
The Sultanahmet district in Istanbul and the Cappadocia region stand out for their solo-friendly atmosphere. Properties like the Nidya Hotel Galataport and local cave hotels put you right where the action is. Tours make stops at the Blue Mosque Grand Bazaar and Goreme Open Air Museum where guides help create an inclusive environment. A TourRadar traveler noted: "As a solo traveler I felt completely safe and welcomed everywhere especially in Cappadocia where the group dynamic was fantastic."

Evening programs include options like Turkish Night performances in Cappadocia ($70 USD) traditional bathhouse visits ($75-225 USD) and Bosphorus dinner cruises ($60 USD).
