From the Bosphorus, which divides Europe and Asia, to the incredible Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and Topkapi Palace, plus shopping in the Grand Bazaar, you won't miss a thing on our Turkey tours.

ANZAC Day Tours
For many Australian and New Zealand travellers, a trip to Gallipoli for ANZAC Day on 25 April is an important way to remember relatives and friends who gave their lives during the First World War. We run annual package trips to join the Dawn Service at ANZAC Cove and to pay our respects at some of the cemeteries and memorials. These guided trips also include sightseeing in Istanbul, Cappadocia, and Pamukkale. Those with more time can combine ANZAC Day with a trip to take in the ancient treasures of Egypt.

Frequently asked questions
How big are the group tours?
On our Signature Turkey small group tours, the maximum group size is 24 but the average is more like 14. You'll travel with like-minded people from a variety of English-speaking and European countries. On our Handpicked Turkey group tours, the maximum group size is 40, but you will still be staying in excellent 4 - 5 star accommodation, and fully escorted by a tour guide.
What is the average age on a group tour?
Ages range from those in their 20s all the way up to people in their 60s and beyond - all with a shared passion for travel! The average age on our tours is around 45.
What is Turkish food like?
Our customers often rate Turkish food highly. Turkish cuisine is renowned around the world. You'll eat plenty of meze and hummus, and the kebabs are nothing like the ones you find in London at 3am! Other famous Turkish dishes include pide, a kind of Turkish pizza, and kofte (meatballs). There's more information about the food in Turkey on our top tips page.
When is the best time to visit Turkey?
While Turkey is a year-round destination, the summers can be very hot and the winters very cold, especially in central areas such as Cappadocia. For this reason, we recommend travelling during spring from March to May and autumn from September to November. If joining one of our sailing holidays, then the warm summer months from June to August are best for topping up that tan! However, the winter season tends to be cheaper and there are fewer tourists, so if you don't mind wrapping up warm then you could consider traveling at this time!
Can I do a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia?
Whilst we don't include hot air balloon rides on our tours in Turkey, it is an optional activity on all trips visiting Cappadocia. Your Turkey tour guide will be able to advise when this activity takes place, and you can book and pay for the hot air balloon ride locally. You'll get a unique perspective of the beautiful landscape of fairy chimneys and cave cities.
What accommodation can i expect?
On our Signature and Handpicked Turkey packages, you'll be staying in good quality accommodation - a mix of 4 and 5-star hotels. We select our hotels based on a wide array of criteria including great location, facilities, and comfort. You can see an example of the hotels we use on the tour pages for many of our trips. However, please note that we reserve the right to substitute the hotels listed for others of a similar standard.
Will I visit Istanbul on your Turkey tours?
Istanbul is probably Turkey's most popular destination, and you'll be glad to know that all of our Turkey tours (with the exception of our sailing holidays) start in the city formerly known as Constantinople. There's included sightseeing in the city on all Signature group tours, so you won't miss a thing. You could also add on our 4-day City of Sultans short stay at the beginning or end of your Turkey tour, for even more time to explore Istanbul!
Can I visit Turkey to commemorate ANZAC Day?
The Gallipoli campaign during WWI tragically claimed the lives of many Australians and New Zealanders. We run annual tours to Gallipoli to coincide with the Dawn Service at ANZAC Cove on 25 April. Our range of tours varies from a 4-day express visit to longer tours including sightseeing in Turkey and nearby Egypt. Browse our ANZAC Day page for more information about these trips.
