Turkey Explorer Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Explorer Turkey tours
Anonymous | Traveled in July
The tour was amazing! Crystal clear water. Seda was an amazing, very knowledgeable tour guide and the crew on endless summer 1 were also fantastic. Delicious food and very kind. Included us in decisions and very keen to show us the best places to party/ eat when docked on land.
Stephanie G | Traveled in June
The Solo-ish Trip was exactly what I needed -- we ended up being a diverse group of like-minded travellers and with our tour guide's leadership, we experienced Turkey in what I can only describe as "grown up summer camp." We learned, and we laughed. I can't wait to book my next Solo-ish Trip.
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.

I love the new Solo-ish concept, and hope you continue to provide more and more options for Solo-ish tours. In my previous small group tours, it was sometimes challenging to be one of the only solo travelers and either feel like a "third wheel" if I tagged along with a group or feel like a loner if I didn't "click" with the few other solo travelers on a trip. It was so nice to have everyone be a solo traveler! As for the tour itself, it was a great introduction to Turkey - I especially liked the time in Cappadocia, which had such a great mix of activities - definitely the best part of the trip.
Amber R | Traveled in May
GAventures made exploring Turkieye fascinating and fun. Ihsan, our guide, was outstanding in every way, and our group bonded under his expert leadership. He scoped out great restaurants and made excellent suggestions whenever we asked for excursion options during our free time. We've chosen GAdventures for many of our trips because of the small group size, the in-home interactions with locals, and the ease of having the details managed.
