With its pristine coastline and fascinating ancient cities, Turkey regularly features on the UK's most popular tourist destination list and it's not hard to see why when you consider that Istanbul, a treasure trove of architectural wonders from the Blue Mosque to Topkapi Palace, is less than five hours away. For a number of UK travellers Turkey is a place for quiet reflection with the war memorials of Gallipoli and echoes of recent history. For others, Turkey is a place of awe and wonder with its incredible natural landscapes from the calcium terraces of Pamukkale to the underground villages of Cappadocia with plenty of coastline to soak up the sun.

Egypt section: Visiting Egypt was an amazing experience. The tour was well designed and gave us a chance to visit all the awsome historical places. Medo knows the history of the different places, and from Egypt in general, and make it available to us in an easy way; he's an amazing guide. Even when we were struggling with the heat, he was able to engage us in the vast knowledge about the place we were visiting.
He certainly is a guide I would recommend to anybody visiting Egypt!
Shukran Medo!”
I loved this tour, its a fun filled tour and I met some great new friends, travelling solo.
Our tour guide Burhan was great and such a treat.”
We were lucky enough to do the hot air ballooning in Cappadocia. This is the ultimate bucket list item to tick a picture will never give you a complete picture. Throughout this tour, Burhan who needs special recognition was incredible. Not only was he knowledgeable but brought humour to the tour! He is an asset to On The Go Tours.”
