What people love about touring Turkey solo
- Premium Turkey in Depth
This trip gave a great overview of Turkey. Fatih made the trip better with his passion, knowledge and knack of knowing just how much to deliver. Our group got on really well which enhanced the trip for me. It was helpful to take up Fatih’s restaurant suggestions. The only thing which would have increased my enjoyment would have been some high end food but I know I didn’t sign up for a food tour.
- Sacred Pathways: Tracing the Legacy of the Seven Churches 10 Day Tour
Absolutely ?. My daughter and I had a lifetime experience. Everything was delivered above and beyond. First thing after we flew in were picked up by private car to hotel in Istanbul. Since flight was very early on the full first day was our to self observe. Next morning were picked up by our AMAZING ? guide for 8 more days of an unforgettable journey through this beautiful country. Our guide , Mr. AYHAN KOPUR was Great. History buff. He took a great care of my family. Since it was only 2 ppl in this group we were able to add on few extras even if wasn't on the itinerary and he guided us with pleasure. The hospitality of his as hospitality of the whole country were full 100%. I travel alot into many different countries( Europe, America, even some Caribbean islands) but turkey and it's people blew my mind off. Amazingly beautiful country. We had seen many ancients sites. Food was delicious. Couldn't stop eating. I m a nut for sweets so I had a blast in that place. We were exploring sites on our own as well in Istanbul and I felt very safe to be out with my child. No crimes observed. No streets arguments heard or seen. Police presents everywhere. Monuments, religious Sites are all protected. Airport Securities. Also I want to mention our AMAZING driver Mr. Mustafa. He was navigating some very tight streets and corners. Mr. Mustafa and Mr. Kopur had shown us the best time in turkey. I went to turkey with a 3rd class country kind of idea and came out with a totally eyes wide open. Positively shocked and very pleased. And the cost is below than I would off paid in any other such highly developed countries. Money well spent. I brought many gifts and even a real turkish runner for a slim $ amount. Dinner for 2 would cost around $40. Would definitely recommend to anyone to take turkey adventure. And turkey even has a sky resorts about 2hrs drive away from Istanbul. ?. Happy traveling everyone.

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."
Are there any special activities arranged for solo travelers in the evenings?
Evening programs include options like Turkish Night performances in Cappadocia ($70 USD) traditional bathhouse visits ($75-225 USD) and Bosphorus dinner cruises ($60 USD). These group settings make it easy to spend time with fellow travelers. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The optional evening activities were highlights for meeting others in the group."
