This tour covers many of the highlights of Turkey and was a wonderful experience. Since there is only one included day in Istanbul I would recommend flying in a few days earlier and exploring Istanbul on your own before the tour begins - the city is twice the size of NYC and has a lot to offer. This is not difficult to do since the city is safe and has an excellent public transit system. This tour is then a fantastic way to see other portions of Turkey.

Well organized and educational.
The tour was great but your head office provided some inaccurate information about weather trends and did not follow through with my request for two additional nights before the tour and my request for a single occupancy room.

An amazing trip, seeing so many different sides of Italy, the main tourist centres, but the rural villages. Fantastically organised and supported when things went wrong (personal injury). Highly recommend this trip for adventurers.
