Genuine reviews from travelers on Getaways short breaks Europe tours
Dina S | Traveled in April
It was very good short trip! Thank you very much!
Liesel W | Traveled in March
It was a great experience. The only two things I would suggest for improvement are 1) remove the mention of the Great Palace Mosaic Museum from the itinerary because we didn't visit it; 2) give the tour guides a brightly colored jacket to wear (instead of black) so that it is easier to see and follow them in crowded areas.
Briege M | Traveled in February
Loved it, makes me want to go back and see more.
Jack S | Traveled in February
Very historical. This was a great taster for Istanbul and left me wanting to see more of the country. I love city breaks and my budget and general pace nowadays tends to cater more for them than the bigger adventures as I have done before, so I wonder if G adventures could develop more city breaks getaways similar to this!
Susan | Traveled in August
Istanbul is a beautiful city, and the mini adventure was a perfect amount of time to see the highlights. A great way to start a longer tour in TA¼rkiye or to whet your appetite for a return trip!
Joe | Traveled in June
My first g trip and I loved it! The group was really friendly and ozzy was a great guide who was both friendly and also insightful
