    Very thorough cultural experience of Turkiey. Our guide Saba was quite entertaining & knowledgeable with pertinent history, national statistics, & personal stories. Very helpful with any suggestions or personal needs. I felt as if the tour was tailored to my taste, even though there were 20 other people.

    Can anyone believe that we are writing this on the tour bus? We are still on the Turkey tour, which will end in two days. We love it SO much that we don't really want it to end! Thank you, Cem and Ahmet, especially Cem who has set the benchmark for our first Insight Vacations tour! We are looking forward to our next Insight vacation.

    April 2011 we left to venture over to Europe for the first time as had only done a lot of Asian countries. Our departure for this time of year was to experience the Anzac Day Memorial. We had such a great tour leader Mehmet who was like a Historian. Polite and courteous man who went out of his way especially on our Anzac Eve day as getting around to visit the sites was very difficult as the Security was set up for that night but we managed to see as much as possible. One day I will return on a time of Non Anzac date to see it all properly in the quiet and serene surroundings as it should be. Our tour was nearly 2 weeks long and we got to visit a lot of the Turkish countryside. We loved the Old Istanbul on the Grand Bazzar side. We got through the cold weather at that time of year but to experience Anzac Memorial was a lifetime experience and all Australians should put it in their Bucket List. Some hiccups with the accomodation on Anzac Eve but now we look back and laugh but I hope Insight do improve or have improved their bookings for accommodation on this very hectic time of the year - Anzac Day. Everything was worth the visiting and good memories to treasure.

  • H

    Hayley

    Asked on February 15th, 2022

    What is the difference between price of this round trip and the other versions of this trip? While in Cappadocia, is there opportunity to make a flight on the balloons?

    Tour Details
    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten February 2022

      Our Wonders of Turkey trip has three different options. You could either choose the classic group, which has an average of 33 people and a maximum of 40, a small group, which has a maximum of 24 people or the small group with Anzac Day. Unfortunately, we don't offer balloon rides on this trip. I'm afraid your two days in Cappadocia are quite full of experiences and sightseeing!
