Best of Turkey Reviews

The intrepid tour was great. It was a full group of 16 which made some of the transport options a bit tight, but generally it was smooth. The hotels were pretty good, breakfasts amazing and scenery was outstanding. It was a great way to get an overview of parts of the country without having to think about how to get places. The time of year was great- read more was hot but not overbearing.

The tour was good, the company most pleasant but the hotels were not good and for a little extra felt Intrepid could have done better. The guide, although a nice enough chap, was more interested in sleeping than in giving us any information. Having said that he did arrange the travel on buses etc. very well. All the above but just the same had a great time. Many thanks.

Highlights included: swimming above Roman artefacts in warm waters at Heliopolis; swimming in the chilly Aegean Sea near Gaz; several of the country excursions; and seeing the two main mosques and walking through the Topkapi Gardens in Istanbul.

The 12 participants interacted well, across a wide spread of ages. Tour leader Ali Kartal, a Turk, was read more the main reason that the tour was a great success and most enjoyable. Intrepid Travel are to be congratulated for having provided the tour.
