How our small-group trips actually run

Four to eight people, a minibus, a Turkish-speaking guide, and a day that is planned but not rigid.

All notes

A published group is 4 to 8 people. That is small enough that you can hear the guide without a loudspeaker, and large enough that the minibus cost is shared.

The day, on paper and on the road

The current 5-day route is guided in Turkish. Days have a written order: border, cities, overnight. Inside a day there is room to linger at a courtyard or skip a shop stop if the group agrees.

You are not on a coach with forty seats and a flag. You are also not on a fully private driver unless you booked that. If you want the van to yourself, say so on the contact form under a private or family trip.

We send the meeting point and the first-day timing in writing. After that, the guide is the person you talk to on the road.
