Turkey Highlights

Evelyn · Traveled April 2024

This trip did what it promised in terms of some highlights of Turkey. I was mostly wanting to go to Gallipoli and Troy and we did that. I would have liked more time at Gallipoli.

Highly recommend this tour. Ahmet was a wonderful guide with a wealth of knowledge and passion for his job and his country. We saw so many sides of Turkey and learnt so much about the culture, history, food and people.

Taste of Istanbul

Marlene · Traveled March 2024

Our Taste of Istanbul Tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide Unsol was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and made our time in Istanbul very special. We had two days in Istanbul after finishing another Intrepid tour in Spain, Portugal and Morocco before joining this Istanbul toùr. We then stayed on for two days after the tour and Unsol made some excellent suggestions for additional activities, which we really enjoyed. This tour also gave us an opportunity to have a break before our long trip home to Australia. Highly recommended.
