Customer Reviews
- liu· September 27th, 2025The tour is well-organized, covering the best of Turkey’s Aegean coast, including ancient ruins and the stunning Pamukkale, although some of the accommodations could use improvement. Our CEO, Huseyin, is knowledgeable, attentive, and caring. His knowledge of history, Turkey, and the world is top-notch. He’s also well-read—when I mentioned Orhan Pamuk’s novel My Name Is Red, he was familiar with it and even recommended more Turkish literature. Overall, it’s a fantastic tour with the perfect blend of history and nature.Show more

Asked on April 28th, 2025Does the tour go to Mt Ararat or just drive by a sizable distance away?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025
The tour doesn't get fully up close however, you do take in views of Mt Ararat. See the day description below. (Day 6) Visit the Van Citadel this morning, built by the ancient kingdom of Urartu. From there transfer to the previous capital of the Republic of Ararat, Dogubeyazit. Explore Ishak Pasha Palace then take in views of Mt. Ararat and across the mountains where the possible resting place of Noah's Ark is said to be located. Continue on to Kars for a brief orientation walk, then settle in for the evening with free time.
