The Turkish Explorer tour starts and ends in Istanbul. The Turkish Explorer is an explorer tour that takes 14 days taking you through Istanbul, Turkey and other destinations in Turkey.

Turkey is a country that's hard to pin down. Nestled on the
intersection of Europe and Asia, it's a spellbinding blend of familiar and
unfamiliar, a land in which the Romans, Ottomans and Byzantines have all made
their mark. From ancient ruins to modern cities, from sun-drenched coasts and
coves to olive groves and hillside villages and otherworldly rock formations,
its landscape is wonderfully diverse; and that's before we get to the heart of
Turkish culture by sampling its aromatic and flavourful cuisine, a fusion of
both Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences.There are plenty of sights to see on this tour, including
the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, the battlefields on the Gallipoli
Peninsula and the ruins of the lost city of Troy. For many a highlight is the geological
wonder of Cappdocia with its magical hoodoos and undulating valleys of pink and
white rock, over which we can take a hot air balloon ride.



We have no shortage of optional activities to take up,
including quad biking, horse-riding, and learning to make dolma and sarma at a
Turkish cooking class.Traveller's Confidence ToolkitGiven the uncertainties of travel caused by Covid-19, we have put together a comprehensive set of measures to give our customers more confidence in booking and travelling on trips in late 2020 and beyond.

Local Payment The local payment is a group fund, paid separately from the trip price on the first day of the tour. It covers everything that the group does together on the ground. This is primarily hotel accommodation and campsite fees, meals whilst camping (but not while eating in restaurants), and included activities and puts money directly back to the local community. The local payment, or kitty system, is unique to overlanding tours and provides maximum flexibility and best value on the road - you can see exactly what is being paid for, you get everything at cost price, it keeps costs competitive by leveraging group expenses and saves on administrative costs. The fund is run by the tour guide, and any excess left over at the end is returned equally to the group. Local prices are estimated in USD when we print the brochure then reviewed monthly as local costs and exchange rates vary throughout the year. It's therefore important once you book your trip to check the website regularly and just before departure for any changes to the amount.
