    Unforgettable 8-Day Journey Exploring Turkey I recently had the pleasure of participating in the 8-day Highlights of Turkey tour, and I cannot express how thoroughly satisfied I am with every aspect of this incredible journey. From the moment we landed in Istanbul to the final farewell in Cappadocia, every day was filled with awe-inspiring experiences and cultural immersion. The itinerary was thoughtfully crafted, providing a perfect balance of historical sites, natural wonders, and authentic local encounters. The knowledgeable and passionate tour guides played a pivotal role in making this trip exceptional. Their expertise not only enriched our understanding of Turkey's rich history but also added a personal touch to the entire experience. I felt like I was exploring the country with a friend who was eager to share the beauty and stories of each location. The accommodations were top-notch, offering comfort and a welcoming atmosphere after each day's adventures. The variety of included meals introduced us to the diverse and delicious Turkish cuisine, leaving our taste buds delighted and satisfied. One of the highlights for me was exploring the ancient ruins of Ephesus and marveling at the architectural wonders of Hagia Sophia. The hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia's surreal landscape was a breathtaking and surreal experience that will stay with me forever. Transportation logistics were seamless, and the small group size allowed for a more intimate and personalized experience. I appreciated the flexibility in the schedule, allowing us to immerse ourselves in local markets, charming villages, and hidden gems. In summary, the 8-day Highlights of Turkey tour exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a well-rounded, culturally enriching, and unforgettable journey through the heart of Turkey. Thank you to the entire team for creating memories that will last a lifetime.

    Asked on May 20th, 2025

    Could you kindly confirm that Turkish Airlines and Sun Express are surely the only Airlines we will be flying with during the tour? That we will not be shifted to other Airlines at the last minute? We want assurance in this regard.

    Flights / Transfers
    • Turkey Tours CompanyOperatorWritten May 2025

      We can confirm that the domestic flights for your tour have been booked with Turkish Airlines and Sun Express only. At this time, there are no plans or indications that any changes will be made to the airlines.

    Asked on April 14th, 2025

    Are transfers to and from the airport (IST or SAW) included at the beginning and end of the tour? If yes, as it is a group tour, are the transfers only available at set times? Can you confirm what meals are included with the tour? Can you provide an estimate of the admission/entrance fees to the sites/museums that are not included in the tour? Can we book the hot air ballon ride in advance? What happens if it is cancelled due to weather conditions? It states that the tour is fully guided, will it be the same guide all the time? What is the minimum number of people required to run this tour?

    Tour Details
    • Turkey Tours CompanyOperatorWritten April 2025

      Transfers to and from Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) are included at the beginning and end of the tour. We make transfer arrangements in private basis, these are arranged specifically for your group, not on a shared or set schedule basis. The tour includes daily breakfasts at the hotels and lunches during the guided tours, except in Istanbul, where only breakfast is included. Dinners are generally left open so you can explore local cuisine at your leisure. While most key site entries are included, there are a few sites or museums that carry additional charges. As a general estimate, you might want to budget around $200–$240 per person for optional entrances not covered in the tour. The hot air balloon ride can be booked in advance, and we strongly recommend doing so due to high demand. In the case of cancellation due to weather conditions, you will receive a full refund or may reschedule if time permits. This is a small group tour, with a maximum of 14 participants. While the tour is fully guided, please note that we work with expert local guides in each destination, so the guide may change as you travel between regions. Our tours typically require a minimum of 2 travellers to operate. Your group of 4 adults meets the minimum requirement, so you're all set!
