Colm C | Traveled in January

Iwona L | Traveled in January
Turkey in the winter time was a great idea. The weather was perfect for the scheduled activities and sightseeing., seeing people getting ready for NY celebrations added to the experience.
Farida | Traveled in January
I learned a lot about Turkish history- and it made me want to learn even more. Even though the trip was 2 weeks it made me wish it was another 2 weeks to explore more.
Bridget H. | Traveled in January
Totally recommended! 1. Always in contact with the supplier before starting the activity. 2. The bus for the tours was comfortable, with Wi-Fi. 3. The hotels were 4 to 5 stars. One or the other would improve the food, but details within the very good quality of the accommodation. 4. The guide always attentive.
Elizabeth W. | Traveled in January
The hot air balloon tour in Cappadocia was unforgettable. The hotels were generally centrally located, which made it easy for me to explore on my own during free time. We had the opportunity to taste local cuisines, and I especially loved the Turkish mezes. The tour program was intense but well-planned. I definitely recommend it for culture and history enthusiasts!
Jane | Traveled in January
After raising a family, this was the first time I had travelled solo in 30 years. It was a leap of faith which resulted in an incredible holiday, amazing memories and amazing new friends. I'm already planning my next adventure.
