- 10 Days Wonders of Turkey
The destinations were all interesting, ground and air transportation itself were good but the organization could be a lot better, the guides and hotel rooms and hotels were hit or miss. For example, on our second day in Instanbul the day we fly out for Izmir, the guide was two hours late for a 9am meeting time. He was super frazzled and he lost half of the group once. The first time he was about to lose the crowd, I yelled for him to stop. We then had to rush to the airport in a panic and traffic was like nothing any of us had seen before. For our flight to Antalya, we were dropped off 4 hours early at the Izmir airport. We arrived at the hotel well past midnight and skipping the tour to sleep in and enjoy Antalya on my own was the best decision I made to reset for Cappodocia as the Hot Air Balloon Ride pick up was at 4:45am. Yesra in Kusadasi was an incredible guide and the first guide in Istanbul for the Mosque tour was also good. I skipped Antalya so I can't comment on him. Book your own Hot Air Balloon Ride early as they all offer a full refund if the ride is cancelled due to weather conditions. The tour operator tells you he can't book until the finish line for weather reasons but it's all to try to sell you on inflated pricing. He lied to us and told us the group we had already met didn't fly on a given day when we have pictures from them flying with a Balloon Company they found on their own. Balloon Companies in Cappadocia are everywhere and they all offer hotel pick up.

What our customers ask about Turkey Guided Tours & Trips
What is the best time of year to take a fully guided tour in Turkey?
The sweet spots for touring Turkey fall in spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) when temperatures hover between 20-25°C (68-77°F). These months provide comfortable conditions for exploring Istanbul's historic sites and walking through Cappadocia's valleys. TourRadar's booking data shows these periods are the most popular with travelers leading to increased tour departures.
What level of accommodation can I expect on a fully guided tour in Turkey?
Four-star and boutique hotels form the backbone of Turkey's guided tour accommodations. Properties like the Recital Hotel in Istanbul's Sultanahmet district put travelers in the heart of the action while cave hotels such as Arte Cave and Under Cave in Cappadocia offer distinct regional character. Guest reviews consistently highlight the comfort cleanliness and authentic atmosphere of these carefully selected properties.
Are meals and accommodations typically included on fully guided tours in Turkey?
Standard tour packages cover daily hotel breakfasts and many lunches during sightseeing excursions. An 8-day itinerary typically includes 7 breakfasts and 6 lunches at local restaurants chosen for their authentic cuisine. Accommodations range from seaside stays at the Charisma De Luxe Hotel in Kusadasi to distinctive cave hotels in Cappadocia all included in the base tour price.
What is typically included in a fully guided tour package in Turkey?
Tour packages bundle 4-5 star hotels domestic flights between cities air-conditioned transportation entrance fees and professional English-speaking guides. Stays at properties like the Nidya Hotel and GalC Cave Hotel plus most meals come standard. Packages run 7-15 days with prices from $1500-3500 depending on duration and included features. Airport transfers round out the comprehensive offerings that eliminate planning hassles.
How much free time is typically available during fully guided tours in Turkey?
The schedules mix guided activities with independent exploration particularly in major cities. Istanbul itineraries often leave evenings and occasional half-days open while destinations like Cappadocia balance morning tours with free afternoons. Central locations such as the Pam Thermal Hotel in Pamukkale and Richmond Hotel in Kusadasi make it simple to explore during downtime or join optional excursions like hot air balloon rides.
What is the typical group size for fully guided tours in Turkey?
Tours operate with 8 to 24 participants striking a balance between intimacy and social interaction. Companies like Eskapas use 34-seat coaches for groups of 24 or fewer ensuring space and comfort. The modest size allows smooth transitions between sites like the Blue Mosque and Ephesus while maintaining clear communication between guides and group members at archaeological sites and museums.
