An amazing tour for a “taste” of Türkiye, but you will definitely need longer in this beautiful country! Also, our guide Hayatì, made this trip the experience that it was!

Wow, Türkiye is an absolute beautiful country with amazing people and delicious cuisine. Our guide Hayatì was the absolute best and if possible to request him, highly recommend! Although we did the 7 day, we wish we would have had longer! We love this country!

It's hard to sum up my High lights of Turkey trip in only a few words...it was wonderful from start to finish and i truly enjoyed every second of it! The itinerary was fab , jam packed and full of interesting places to see and immerse yourself in. Our guide Hayati was a super star - full of humour and enthusiasm and knowledge of his country. Thanks to Hayati the group gelled so well - as a solo traveller I quickly I felt like I was travelling with a group of friends which of lovely. The places we visited were amazing- from the underground city to ballooning in Cappadocia to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul I didn't want the trip to end ! My memories of Turkey are super special and I can't wait to come back again. Thanks to Hayati and team Intrepid!

This trip was SO MUCH FUN! The name says it all we really got to see the highlights and now I know what places I’d love to come back and explore more of. Our guide, Hayati, was funny, engaging, knowledgeable, and organized. He really made this trip so special for all of us. Would recommend him to anyone visiting this beautiful country!
