    Overall, this was an awesome experience! Our guide (C.) was great - knowledgeable, friendly, and well-organized. The group had great chemistry, and there was a good mix of cultural activities, free time, and scenic highlights. Using public transport added authenticity and gave us a chance to see more of the country. Cappadocia was definitely a highlight, but be aware that excursions there can be expensive if booked through the tour provider. For example, the balloon tour offered through Intrepid was €200, while local prices ranged from €80–120 the day before. I’d love to see Intrepid partner with reliable local companies to offer better rates and even more optional extras (e.g. photoshoot in Cappadocia). Personally, I would’ve preferred skipping the Konya stop - the time spent checking in/out and transferring didn’t feel worth it. Adding half a day more in Antalya or including Izmir or Ankara in the itinerary could further improve the overall experience. The night bus to Istanbul was difficult (very little sleep), though maybe unavoidable. We were lucky it wasn’t crowded, but if full, it would’ve been nearly impossible to rest. The last day in Istanbul also felt a bit underwhelming - only visiting the Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar. A short city tour or Bosphorus cruise would’ve been a great addition. Hotels were basic but fine for the trip style. All in all, a wonderful adventure across Turkey - with stunning landscapes, deep culture, and good company!

    Our group leader, Maurizio was excellent. He was able to accommodate most of the wishes of our group by giving options whereby people could still have personal choices. He had a wonderful sense of humour, yet was able to deal with personal problems of members with compassion.
