The tour pace was a bit intense, but with so many natural and historic sites to see, it felt worthwhile. I focused on gathering memories, taking tons of photos along the way. Our guides felt like travel companions, knowledgeable and warm.

The tour included several extra activities, and my spouse and I chose to do the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia, which was, by far, the highlight for us. There was also some free time built into the schedule in Santorni and Mykonos; we chose to relax As a vegetarian, I had no trouble finding suitable options, which was a relief. The hotels were comfortable and clean, all rated four stars. Overall, this is a tour I’d recommend to anyone.
