Turkey is a land of contrasts, with a vibrant modern culture following a long history showing the marks of several different civilisations which have left a wealth of incredible ancient sites to explore. The scenery also varies hugely, from the dramatic Bosphorous strait in Istanbul, to the beautiful Mediterranean coastline, forested hills and mountains further inland and special highlights like the surreal landscapes of Pamukkale and Cappadocia.
This comprehensive 19 day tour takes all this in and more. Starting and finishing in Istanbul, the tour learns about modern history at the war memorials and ANZAC cemeteries at Gallipoli before developing deeper into the past with tours of some of the region's most important historic sites at Troy, Ephesus, Hieropolis, Aphrodisias, Aspendos and Side. There are plenty of stops to relax and enjoy the seaside at the coastal towns of Kusadasi and Fethiye and Antalya, with a 12-island boat cruise also included in the Gulf of Fethiye.
The tour then heads inland, following the ancient Silk Road trading route to see the Sultanhani Caravansary at Konya before heading south east to see Lake Van, Biblical Mount Ararat, Kars and the ruins of ancient Ani.
There are a wealth of opportunities to taste traditional and modern Turkish cuisine and to pick up souvenirs and learn more about this fascinating country along the way. Accommodation is in a mix of 4-5 star and boutique style properties, either on a breakfast only or half-board basis depending on the location and other options available nearby.
I had the most amazing time on a trip to India with this travel operator. It was well thought out from start to finish. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable about the places we were visiting, he went above and beyond and kept things fun. The places we saw were overwhelmingly beautiful. The perfect mix of culture and a good time. I'd definitely travel with them again. Thank you!

Hi there, I thought another day in Scotland would have been better. Maybe gone to Glasgow and then combined the last 2 days in the UK together. The last 2 days were a wee bit of a disappointment compared to the first part of the trip. Our TD was wonderful she is so knowledgeable and really knows her stuff.

Great tour, the guide was very good too. Highlights...the cooking class, bridge over the river kwai, pow cemetery, temples, the boat ride on the river and the first hotel we stayed at in the country. All up very well organized and communication before and during the tour was excellent. Will use your services again. Thank you.
El viaje estuvo muy bueno y los guías son muy amigables.
Por otro lado considero que deberían mejorar el manejo del itinerario en Europamundo. He viajado varias veces y por lo general tienen muy pocos recesos para comer merienda o ir al baño. Hay muchas personas mayores que viajan y posiblemente tengan sus condiciones de salud. Creo que añadir recesos de 15 a 20 minutos para comer una merienda o ir al baño debería ser añadido al itinerario para cada 2-3 horas. No es saludable estar desde las 6:30am con el desayuno hasta las 1pm o 2pm para almorzar. Para mantener una alimentación saludable se necesita comer cada 2 horas haciendo comidas y meriendas. El viaje de Corea del Sur fue el único en donde hubo varios recesos necesarios y se pudo lograr cumplir con todo lo planeado para cada día.
Otra cosa a considerar es que si hay alguien que termina un tour antes que los demás y se queda un día más en el hotel, el guía debe asegurarse de hacer esta explicación de las personas que NO van a hacer check-out en el hotel. Me pasó que el tour continuaba hacia Noruega mientras me quedaba un día más en Dinamarca y le dieron check-out a todos los huéspedes de Europundo incluyéndome a mi y a mi esposo. Tuvimos que esperar a que el hotel aclarara las cosas para dejarnos quedar una noche adicional que ya estaba pagada y era parte del paquete. El muchacho del hotel fue muy cordial y nos ayudó. Pero creo que esto se pudo haber evitado si uno de los guías hubiese explicado y aclarado los huéspedes que iban a dar check-out ese día y los que se quedaban una noche adicional.
Very well planned service. Our Tour Director was very knowledgable and very accommodating. She really made us feel at home and gave tremendous information. Our drive was excellent and made us feel very safe. The tour covers a lot of interesting sites and at the same time gives you free time to explore on your own, should you wish. All the hotels we stayed in were very good. Whole of the tour is well planned and every day, next day's itinerary, was given in good time so that we can decode how we want to utilise the day.
The coach is very comfortable. Everyday cleaned the coach so that everyone can get the best view while travelling. Sufficient comfort breaks are already built-in to ensure that everyone can travel without any anxiety.
Local guides were very knowledgable and helpful and gave valuable details that make you appreciate the local history, community, architecture and customs. In all the hotels we stayed the staff were very polite and went out of their way to help.
Overall the tour was way nicer beyond our expectations. We can say with certainty that we will be using Costsavers in future.
really makes any tour with her very entertaining and informative. I do not have enough words to describe how effective she is as a tour director. I look forward to join her in other tours in future.
