GAdventures made my visit to Türkiye so much fun. The itinerary and activities planned were all amazing! Our tour guide was A+ and was always accessible and knowledgeable about the history and culture of the country. I met some great people from other parts of the world as we traveled together. I highly recommend GAdventures for your next trip!
The Solo-ish Trip was exactly what I needed -- we ended up being a diverse group of like-minded travellers and with our tour guide's leadership, we experienced Turkey in what I can only describe as "grown up summer camp." We learned, and we laughed. I can't wait to book my next Solo-ish Trip.
The island tours and optional experiences provided were so worthwhile! These experience allowed us the opportunity to truly experience the places we visited and learn fascinating and phenomenal pieces of information. The costsaver and local guides truly made the optional experiences a part of the trip we HAD to experience for every place we visited.
