Would highly recommend this tour. A great way to experience the Turkish coast and amazing historic sites. Taha was an incredible guide, going above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience and teaching us about the local culture and history.

The trip was overall really great! We got to see a lot of places and the tour involved quite a few activities. Just be mindful that it is very fast pace with one night in each place for the first week or so, however the itinerary does specify this.

Essential Turkey was an amazing tour. Loved the mix of history, adventure, and cultural experiences. The rest of the group and tour guide Taha were awesome people.

Taha was the best guide, we didn’t have to worry about anything. I made a friend.

The itinerary provided a mix of historical / cultural sites with relaxation and leisure. Our guide Cumhur Ilter provided excellent advice to authentic local restaurants and bars. He found the perfect balance of being a professional guide and a fellow traveller.

Trip exceeded all my expectations! So fun, had lots of busy days exploring and chill days on a boat and the beach. Ilter was the best tour guide, the tour definitely wouldn’t have been as perfect without him!!

A full experience of Turkey, true views of the culture and country and I’m blown away with how well it was organised, I advise anyone to do this tour if you’re interested in Turkey.

This trip is incredible, I can’t recommend more highly! The itinerary is a perfect balance of beach, culture and stunning scenery, plus all of Türkiye’s very best food. Really well organised and the guides are so knowledgeable and prepared with all the best recommendations for things to do and places to eat (shoutout to Fey for being the absolute BEST in the business). 10/10 loved everything about this trip!

This trip covers it all! An excellent intro to the west coast of Turkey. I loved the historical sites and sailing day. Exceeded expectations!

The Essential Turkey tour was fantastic! It was fast paced but the transport was efficient and comfortable and it meant we got to see a lot of the country in a short time. All of the inclusions were great, particularly the tours of Ephesus and Pammukkale + the day boat trip. We had a fun group and our tour leader Pinar was amazing, very good at her job and made us feel at ease throughout.

Essential Turkey gives you the perfect lens into one of the most culturally fascinating countries in the world. Expect awesome history, amazing food, and beautiful seaside tourism. Our guide Emre was simply the best and our group couldn’t have been closer!

The intrepid tour was the first tour i have partaken in. Our guide, Ziver, made the entire two weeks feel like a 3 day tour. i cannot thank him more. love always Z xo

Awesome, fast paced trip. I would recommend doing this in cooler months as included activities and some transport were very hot. Our tour guide Zavir was super helpful and approachable. Accomodation was great and got to experience many sides of Turkey.

Turkey is by far one of the most beautiful countries I have traveled to - after this trip I have a new found appreciation for the friendly people and beautiful sights that Turkey offers! The county really does have everything! Also our guide Ziver was a delight - making us laugh and smile for the whole trip!

Had an amazing experience in this tour, our leader Oz and the group was amazing! The variety of activities and amount of free time was perfect, we explored a lot but never felt overwhelmed. Highly recommend this tour (try doing Real Turkey so you can visit Cappadocia too).

What an amazing trip overall. Our tour guide Samih was excellent (set the bar high for other tour guides as it was my first guided trip aha) really fun group of people that came along. Also have to note that you might have to tag along for the optional tours due to transport arrangements- however you can always explore the cafes and markets around that area instead if you don't feel like doing the optional activity (as I did in my case) so very accommodating in that aspect. will definitely be doing more of these in future!

On this trip, you get a local insight as you get to enjoy home cooked meals (vegan friendly), hang out with many dogs & cats and experience a piece of history.

Overall good experience, turkey was an amazing county and I really enjoyed going in a smaller group with other travelers. However, the trip wasn't super organized and there was a lot of travel time. I also would not recommend getting an airport transfer this was a waste of my money, taxis are cheaper and will be organized better.

My trip to Türkiye was absolutely amazing. It is such a beautiful country with so much rich history. Our guide and guides in training were fabulous - so helpful and knowledgeable. They kept us safe and made things fun. I also made some lovely friends and we were always laughing. I’ll never forget it.

This was probably the best trip I’ve ever taken. Experienced so much more of Turkey than I would have on my own. This trip wouldn’t be the same without my tour guide, Ekrem Aydin, and my tour group. So glad I chose this tour, I learned so much about a place I knew so little about!
