Istanbul Cultural, religious and historic sites Trips

An excellent insight into Turkey with an excellent guide Barcin with his knowledge and humour we throughly enjoyed it. This tour covered so many interesting places that I didn’t know existed. It’s an amazing country. With mainly one night stays and very long days it was tiring so 2 night stays would be much better and also having central hotels would be much better but then that makes it a longer tour.

It was fabulous! All the sites we visited were amazing. All the included meals and the hotels were top notch! Our tour director was a walking encyclopedia. So knowledgeable! I would recommend this trip to anyone inquiring about this trip!

This itinerary was extremely convenient and care free for everyone on tour. On most vacations, the most stress inducing aspect is usually finding quality hotels to book and looking for places to eat. With Trafalgar, on most days, breakfast lunch and dinner was included, hotel rooms were already booked, travel between locations was already arranged, there was no hassle whatsoever on part of the people on vacation, apart from being on time to get on the bus in the morning. It was the definition of stress free.

The itinerary was an excellent trip visiting many of the historic sites in Turkey. Our tour director was so knowledgeable and shared the history of each area in interesting ways. I learned so much about this crossroads of Asia and Europe. We were able to dine in a small village sharing a traditional meal prepared by the women of this village in their homes. The personal experiences were special. All the people we met were so welcoming. Our tour director and driver made sure everyone was comfortable l. The tour was well paced. We had time to explore each site. The hotels and meals were good. We enjoyed the others on the tour and everyone was on time. All in all, this tour was one of the best Trafalgar tour due for the big part by our excellent tour director .

It was a wonderful trip and itinerary. Loved all the sights and it was amazing that our tour director was also our local guide. He was particularly knowledgeable of all the local attractions and the history of Turkey. Also it was very very hot and he tried his best to sequence the trip in such a way that we avoid the sun as much as possible. Overall a great trip!

Every day was a surprising adventure with something amazing to visit and explore. The 9 days were well paced. Most days there was time to explore on your own, eat or purchase something. There were more inclusions than I expected and skip the line entrances.
