I am interested in this tour as a solo traveller and wondering how many spaces you still have available and the age demographic of those who have booked to date? I am a 27 Australian male so ideally looking to be on a tour with people around my age.

Contiki tours are designed for travelers between 18-35 years old, ensuring a fun and social experience with like-minded adventurers. As a 27-year-old traveler, you'll likely find many others around your age on the tour! Both solo and twin rooms are still available for booking. Price for June 29, 2025 will be AU$4,841.00 for single room and/or AU$3,664.00 per person for twin room.

is this tour available for october 2025?

Upon review, there is no available date for the month of October 2025. However, if schedules are flexible, we have available date for the month of June, July and August.

Is there an option to add a hot air ballon ride?

We do not offer, nor can we recommend, hot air ballooning in Turkey. However, if you wish to participate while on trip, many of the hotels in Cappadocia offer bookings and you can make a reservation directly with them.

Haven't we already filed out a review card? Anyway, Hotels could have been cleaner, the itinerary was a bit too rushed. Meals were alright - really nothing special, which is sad inna country with a cousin like turkey. The driver was great and our Guide was AMAZING.
