Turkiye is a very safe country with the most welcoming people.  If at any point we decide, based on trustworthy information, that it is not safe to travel we will not. In this unusual situation we will refund to you any money paid directly to us. This does not include flight arrangements or other costs outside of the tour price.    

A two-week tour is the standard duration for most travelers, offering a well-rounded experience that allows you to explore multiple destinations at a comfortable pace. However, shorter options are also available, with seven-day tours providing a more focused itinerary, and four-day tours offering a quick getaway. For those with more time, extended tours beyond two weeks can be arranged, allowing for deeper exploration and a more leisurely travel experience. We can discuss in detail, if this is something you are considering. 

Standard tours operate with six to seven people.. A group of four can be accommodated with a surcharge. You can gather your own family and friends or join a group.
