Turkey - Tailor-made Holidays

If you would like your own private holiday in Turkey, that can be arranged! We can organise any group tour on a private itinerary, with the standard of accommodation you prefer, or our expert team of tailor-made planners can arrange a holiday, bespoke to your requirements. You can select your preferred style of accommodation and visit only the destinations and sites that you particularly want to see. If you wish to visit destinations we have not featured on the website, this can also be arranged.

 

Here's three ways to get started with planning your holiday to Turkey:

 

 

  

Our quality assurance on your holiday to Turkey

 

Our expert team have travelled extensively throughout Turkey and are on hand to offer advice and create the perfect, carefully planned tailor-made holiday for you. With experienced local Turkish specialist guides to show you around all of the key sites at each port of call and local representatives available to offer further assistance should you require it, travelling with on the go couldn’t be simpler - we handle all of the arrangements and finer details, you just need to relax and enjoy your exclusive journey through Turkey!

 

We ensure that all our recommended hotels, and support services in Turkey are regularly inspected and as an AITO, ABTA and ATOL bonded operator, you can be assured of exemplary service standards, our high customer satisfaction levels and that the payment you make for your holiday is adequately protected.

 

 

Accommodation in Turkey

 

Turkey offers a wonderful range of accommodation, from the deluxe 5 star Crowne Plaza hotel in Istanbul, within walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace to Kadir's Tree Houses in Olympos, in a pictureque coastal setting with nesting loggerhead turtles on the neighbouring beach. We select our hotels for their high service levels, warm welcome and personal touch. Like Egypt, the hotels in Turkey are usually decorated and furnished in an individual style with a quirky finish. For those seeking a more intimate and personal holiday there is a great choice of boutique hotels available throughout Turkey, all offering good facilities, a high standard of cleanliness and extra comfort. As hotel grading in Turkey may differ to what one expects as the standard in the West, on all tailor-made quotations we will provide Western standard hotel ratings for all hotels featured.

 

 

Pricing Guidelines for Private Holidays in Turkey

 

Prices can vary considerably for tailor-made travel as the quality of hotels, places visited and time of travel is entirely up to you.  In addition, you may choose to have a private guide to escort your right through your holiday in Turkey, or simply have the services of local Turkish guides at each port of call.  Prices also vary dependent upon the number of people in your travelling party, as fixed costs like transportation and guiding are shared across the group.

 

 

Getting around Turkey whilst on holiday

 

  • Road Travel: Airport transfers and road travel at each port of call will be in our own chauffeur driven, private air-conditioned cars and minivans all of a modern European standard. This will be the recommended way of travelling throughout Turkey.
  • Air Travel: We recommend covering large distances such as Cappadocia to Istanbul by internal flights which are normally on scheduled services with local airlines.
  • Gulet Sailing: Turkey gulet boats are typically built of pine wood and sail along the beautiful coast of Turkey exploring the many coves. Gulet sailing generally forms part of a longer itinerary and accommodation is in twin cabins with private ensuite bathroom and includes snorkels & masks, fishing lines, all meals and afternoon tea with biscuits.
  • Living it Local: To add a bit of flavour to your travels visit the local Grand Bazarre in Istanbul, bike the trails of Goreme valley, enjoy a mud bath in Koycegiz, hike part of Saklikent gorge, Turkey’s longest and deepest canyon or go tubing down the icy mountain stream.
