    If you’re lucky, Harry will be your guide. He was fabulous in every way. Explained everything clearly and never pushed us to go too fast. The tour is so interesting and the hotels they chose range from pretty good to excellent. Highly recommended.

    This tour definitely makes it easy to see all of the amazing aspects of Türkiye in just under 2 weeks. Overall, my husband and I had an amazing experience and we saw so much of this amazing country and learned a great deal about their history.

All questions
  • J

    Judy

    Asked on March 8th, 2025

    Is it okay to start the tour on day 4

    Tour Details
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      It's possible to join the tour later, but we recommend joining from the beginning. This way, you won't miss the first visited places, you won't have trouble adapting to the guide and the other people on the tour, and if you join later, you will still need to pay the full price.

  • T

    Tiffany

    Asked on March 5th, 2025

    is it possible to join the tour in Gaziatep on day 3 (May 30th)?

    Tour Details
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      Unfortunately, we can't allow late joiners to our tours. Also, you're currently the only request for that date. Unfortunately, we can't organize a tour for just one person. Would you like me to let you know if there are any other participants?

  • M

    Marina

    Asked on February 3rd, 2025

    I would like to know if you have a single supplement on this tour. If so how much?

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      The single supplement is $267. So the single room price is $2.582 with the promotion.
