Turkey Explorer Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Explorer Turkey tours
Steph | Traveled in June
This tour was fantastic! Our tour guide Seda was so fantastic. Her knowledge was impressive and she had such a passion for her job. She was kind and helped make our tour great. She was organised and ensured we got to see everything we needed. The itinerary was great with Cappadocia being a highlight. The museum pass was such a win and allowed us to see more places than expected. I would highly recommend this trip and Seda.
Boone | Traveled in May
Seda is a great guide. She’s very knowledgeable and accommodating to what’s best for the group. All the stops are wonderful and we get to see the best of Turkey. Travel days are usually pretty long but the bus is spacious and comfortable with on board WiFi.

Thank you, G Adventures and Isil Aktas, for showing me beautiful Turkiye! I enjoyed every moment of this fantastic two-week journey. The knowledge and fond memories are mine to keep, but I blame you for causing me to gain weight after this trip (Turkish cuisine was so delicious).
Anonymous | Traveled in October
Best trip I have ever been on our tour guide and all the people were amazing! The waters were so clear and plenty of swim stops. I would love more meat at meal times but other than that the food was incredible. Would definitely recommend!

It was FANTASTIC! The itinerary was a great mix of sights, activities, experiences. There was nothing I didn?t thoroughly enjoy.
