- Lesley· October 4th, 2025This tour, The Best Of Turkey is a good introduction to Turkey.You see the majority of the main sights and get an idea of places that you might wish to return to, Some of the accomodation was great with swimming pool, while others were under par and probably need upgrading.Show more
G Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your honest review, Lesley! We have passed your comments concerning the accommodations to the appropriate teams for their review.Trip date: September 2025 - 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 moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for this wonderful review, Liu! We are so glad to know that Huseyin helped make your trip so special. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future!Trip date: September 2025
- JSJulie· July 19th, 2025Amazing places to see that exceeded my expectations. Türkiye is a country full of history. The tour was well organised with a knowledgeable guide in Elif and an excellent driver in Jalad (?). The focus on supporting local suppliers of accommodation is great but resulted in staying in mostly fairly run down hotels. There is a lot of walking over loose and uneven surfaces to access some truly spectacular sights but it was sometimes very challenging in the sky high summer temperatures. Probably more than ‘light’ physical activity or conditions. A wonderful choice for most potential participantsShow moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you so much for your honest review, Julie.

- G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2025
This tour will go on request (meaning that space can no longer be guaranteed) 31 days before departure. However, it will also go on request once there are only a handful of spaces remaining so it is highly advisable to secure your space prior to that happening to avoid disappointment.
