I have been dreaming of traveling to Turkey for a long time. I had initially booked this tour in 2020 and clearly it had to be cancelled. Five years later, my expectations were exceeded by this tour. The rich history, culture, the food and the beautiful people of Turkey— this is a trip not to be missed!
This tour was such a great way to experience Greece. The itinerary was full of highlights. Hotels are standard tourist class, not bad. Food is OK. Guides and drivers are fantastic.
It’s fair to say, Scandinavia is having a moment. Perhaps several moments. With cutting edge minimalist design, five-star fusion cuisine, long life expectancy and a social system that runs like Danish clockwork, it seems every cafe, furniture store and political system on the planet can learn a thing or two from Europe’s latest hotspot. This is your chance to see it up close. From the inky Fjordlands of Norway’s coastline to the fish markets of Copenhagen, along with gems like Bergen, Lillehammer and the Swedish Lakes District. And like any well-plotted Danish drama, there’ll be a few surprises along the way.
I feel that G Adventures exceeded my expectations. I figured the hotels and transport would be taken care of, but I was surprised at everyone's knowledge and eagerness was truly amazing and I would recommend this company and this Journey to other people. I felt I learned a lot, experienced a lot, and saw a lot in a fairly short amount of time.
The best tour in Turkey, including Istanbul, Kusadasi, Ephesus, Pamukkale & Capppadocia. This is an exquisite tour for you with all the bells and whistles. There are no long bus rides just domestic flights getting you to your destination comfortable and relaxed.
