Turkey Trekking Hiking Trips

Excellent tour of historical sites in Western Turkey. Tour guide Tim was very knowledgeable and interesting, he went the extra mile to ensure all our needs were met. Definitely recommend this tour.

Nice relaxing trip. Weather was great so we were able to do all the available excursions. The staff on the boat were great and the food was good as well. Only downside was the aircon below deck barely worked but we all were able to sleep comfortably under the starts. Group size is small so it was a very intimate trip. Would reccomend to anyone who wants a relaxing week out at sea as this trip isn’t heavy party vibes.

I have travelled on Explore trips before and they have always been good but the guide on this trip, Tim lifted this trip from good to excellent. His knowledge of and enthusiasm for the sites we visited brought them to life. He took us to local restaurants and wineries that produced delicious food and wine. The trip is an interesting mix of ancient sites, small towns and a stop by the sea. The variety of locations, from high mountains to bustling seaside towns, gives a good idea of how diverse and fascinating Türkiye is. Thank you Tim and fellow travelers for a fabulous time. The Winston Pub will always be a fond memory!

This is a great itinerary focusing on just western Turkey and visiting many ancient sites. Our guide, Tim, was incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and oh so knowledgeable about the complex history of Turkey and ancient Anatolia – he was the prime reason we enjoyed our trip so much!

Tim was an awesome guide who is very knowledgeable, personable, easy going, and had a great handle on the uniqueness of our group making sure everyone was taken care of. He was able to inspire and educate everyone about Turkey and was able to confidently admit that he didn't know an answer to someone's random question, but he immediately got on his phone to find out the correct answer. It was a great trip, saw a lot and this trip didn't have the long drives that the other trips had so it was a nice pace that held your interest. Really enjoyed staying at both vineyards, all the food was great because Tim explained everything so you knew how adventurous you were being and were able to stay in your comfort/safety zone. Would definitely recommend this trip and especially Tim as our guide again!!!!

The tour was full on as described but very interesting. Apart from having a lovely group, we were very lucky to have Timucin as our guide. He was full of energy and enthusiasm and went out of his way to accommodate our every wish. His knowledge of the sites was impressive.
