What does a ‘Private Tour’ mean?

In private tours, you will have your own private professional tour guide just for you and your chosen companions only for a more personalized experience of Turkey. (So you will NOT join any other people). This type of tour offers much flexibility and a more relaxed pace with greater opportunity for enjoying spontaneous moments and events and seeing more off the beaten track places. You can easily focus on specific interests of history, religion, culture, art, architecture and cuisine. We highly recommend this type of tour to families, groups of friends, individuals with a special interest/requirements or corporate groups.

What does a ‘Group Tour’ mean?

In group tours, you will be sharing the guide and vehicle with approx. 15-30 other people depending on the day. The sightseeing and route are fixed so there is no flexibility or personalization with this type of tour. This can be a nice way of meeting people if you are travelling alone or for those on a budget.
