Overall amazing experience! From the guide to the activities and getting to meet and make new friends, can?t wait to do it over again. Thanks G Adventures. Stress free and easy travel having activities, accommodation and transport already sorted is amazing.
Vidette Oct, 2024 VerifiedThe tour was amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the major highlights of Turkey but are on a shorter time budget. It offers everything from sight seeing to relaxing beach days to ticking off bucket list activities. Overall the trip was amazing. Our guide, Ramazan, was always well organised and had great communication.
