Wow to Turkey. So many things to say. Stunning landscapes, amazing cities, beautiful beaches, delicious meals and soooo much incredible history. Everything is also very affordable even with the very low Australian dollar right now. Best of all is the people, they are all full of personality, jokes and kindness. As a solo female traveler, no one hassled me (although I'm in my 50's) and I never felt unsafe at any time.

Excellent trip. Excellent knowledge from Sukran. Only reason for 4 stars is because there was a bit of
repetition of information and some of the panoramic views seemed unnecessary. Very good care taken
of use and amazing cave hotel. Memories to last a lifetime. Thank you.

Each of our tour guides was excellent. The drivers were very good at their jobs and friendly people. I had an unforgettable experience with many good memories.

This tour is a must in Istanbul. You will begin the day with Roman Hippodrome, where the chariot races were organised by the Romans and Byzantines. Blue Mosque-the first mosque with six minarets and its surroundings will be our next place to visit. Next, you will see the German Fountain - a gift of Kaiser Wilhelm 2. And listen the stories of his liaison with the orient.
Hagia Sophia - The Church of Divine Wisdom is the highlight of this day. Following the visits your guide will take you the Grand Bazaar for demonstration of Turkish Handicrafts. After Grand Bazaar we will have lunch.
Following lunch the next stop is Topkapi Palace Museum. This is the big one...the most important museum of Turkey and the Balkan Peninsula. It is an incomparably rich treasure chest, brimming with things of historical importance. First, second, third and fourth courtyards; the Audience Hall, Divan-the High Court, Historical Kitchens, Royal Stables, the Treasury, gardens, kiosks…Probably the best commentary on Ottoman History, art and its culture is simply to come direct to the First Courtyard of this amazing Palace.
Next place to see is Hagia Irene Church (from outside). Our final place of interest are Caferaga Medrese and Sogukcesme Street.
All in all, to see these things with a great guide...well, you will never be quite the same again.
