We separate ourselves by creating tours that are better suited to the palette of a traveler. We do not put you in a group with 40 other people following one guide. We pride ourselves to offer a more personal touch. We use public transportation for your travel through Turkey because the bus system is very efficient and comfortable, and it also cuts down on the overall cost of your tour. Since trains do not cover most parts of Turkey, we arrange our tours mainly using buses and flights. When you do travel by bus of plane, one of our agents will greet you upon arrival and transport you to either your next destination point or your hotel.
With us, you can customize your accommodations depending on your budget, so it is no problem if you want to upgrade your hotel as you see fit. In the destinations you visit, we use a local tour agency, so your guide for the day has an intimate knowledge of the historical areas you are visiting. Your tours typically are on a mini bus with no more than 18 people, to ensure a personal level of attention, as well as the ease to ask questions, or be able to hear what is being said. On all of our tours, lunch will always be at a very authentic Turkish restaurant. You will experience Turkey with all of your senses – not only with your eyes, but your taste buds too. All entrance fees to the museums and historical sights are secured ahead of time, so there is no need to wait in line.
