    Last couple of days was rushed and long. Would have been nice if we stayed an extra day in Canakkale after seeing Gallipoli, and then drive back to Istanbul. Anatolia we didn't get to see the waterfalls.

    The trip itself was great but we prepaid for two extra hotel nights before the start of the tour. Our credit card was charged on Sept 14 but no room was available when we arrived on Sept 27. After a two hour wait late at night we were eventually given a smelly basement room with no window. As no other room was available we checked out the next morning and paid for a room at a hotel down the street. We raised the issue with G Adventures who has given us the run around promising an investigation and then a referral to an operation team and then to a customer specialist team. Neither has responded. While our guide and the trip in Turkey was great, the complete lack of service from G Adventures to the hotel problem leaves us not recommending them as a company.

    Lots of great attractions. Cappadoccia and Kas were the best. Some long travel days and the van was too small to be comfortable. Seats very narrow and two seats facing backwards which no one wanted to sit in.

      Were you asking about the optional activity that included the Bosphorus Cruise? Istanbul Walking Tour and Bosphorus Cruise = 8h-10h Go even deeper into Istanbul, discovering diverse and lesser-visited districts with your CEO, and some of the best photography spots in the city! Today we will walk along the ancient Constantinople city walls; see Tekfur Palace which has got thick walls adjacent to the landwalls; stroll through the photogenic Fener and Balat districts, known for their colourful wooden houses; enjoy lunch together; and cruise the Bosphorus Strait for stunning views of Ottoman palaces and the city skyline. Please note: this is a full day (6+ hours) day excursion. Lunch is included. Your CEO will collect you from the hotel lobby at 9am. Please bring sunscreen, a water bottle, and modest clothing/coverings for shoulders and upper legs for visiting religious sites.

    Asked on May 20th, 2025

    I like to know the additional cost that we need to be prepared to pay please ( Meals, entrance museum etc. Accommodation has a private bathroom inside the rooms? The choice of hotels had been improved? Transportation is comfortable? I read all the reviews and some have concerns regarding the lack of comfort in the transportation that was provided. Has the quality of food improved from last year? Sorry that I have so many questions but it's not easy to decide which company to take the Turkey Tour
