Unforgettable pilgrimage
All arrangements were smooth and on time. We did not have to manage any logistics, which was great. Olgu is a fantastic Guide for the 7 Churches. He was patient and friendly and managed the timing of the tour well. He is knowledgeable and approachable and his guidance was both insightful and deeply spiritual, yet fun and interesting at the same time. He introduced us not only to the sites of the roots of our faith, but also the rich history of the area, the lovely local people and the incredible local cuisine. He arranged for us to experience some local customs and crafts and was with us every step. We will definitely tour with Olgu again. Our driver, Nuri, was also integral to our experience. He is quiet by nature, but friendly and confident and engaged with us. He was always on time, drove safely and kept us comfortable. Our pilgrimage was unforgettable. We thank you both.

The easiest and safest way to experience Turkey
Amazing Guide Gorki and driver Mesut, both of them did a really good job in making us feel safe. Gorki explained us really well everyplace we went. The experience of Turkey was amazing. Three days was more than enough to visit the seven churches and more. The price was worth it of course, we didn’t have any problem with the transport or had to worry on organizing something. There wasn’t a lot of people, we even got Maria’s house for ourselves at one moment. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to visit Turkey for the first time.

Delightful experience
I'm a historian researching Revelation, so I have been wanting to do a trip to all of these locations for years. We thought about renting a car and visiting all of these places ourselves, but I'm so glad we went the tour company route. This itinerary is excellent for the price, and Emre is a wonderful guide. The van was very comfortable, the driver was safe and skillful, and the hotels were relaxing. There are other places in Turkey that I want to visit in the future and will definitely plan to get in touch with Curio Travel when I do. Thanks!
Response from the operator: Hello, Your kind words will be shared with our entire team, who will be thrilled to know they helped create this memorable experience. We will share your kind message and opinions with your guide. Thank you on behalf of him. We would be delighted to see you in our wonderfull country again. Curio Travel Team

Enjoyable, Informative and Fun - Would recommend.
We just returned from doing the 8 days Istanbul & 7 Churches Tour. It was G-reat! Despite the fact that we had a flight cancellation etc, Fezvi, our Curio tour operator rep was able to revise our itinerary to accommodate the changes and answered the questions we had before and during the trip which was reassuring. The choice of hotels were good as well, especially the ones outside Istanbul, we loved the Spa Hotel Colossae Thermal, and the Efes hotel the most (because of seaside view) and the modern concepts - Thank you so much Fevzi. Our tour guides were God-sent! Mustafa, our guide for the Istanbul leg was amazing, giving us the history behind the structures we visited and answering the questions we had. Should I also the mention the shops he recommended for our shopping🙂...? ( Tree of life ceramics & gift shop, the Sah Sultan Turkish delight and essential oil shop and the Istanbul Pashmina in the Grand Bazaar where they sell lovely Turkish silk scarfs . We had so much fun as Mustafa was quite friendly and humourous 😄. We would also like to put in a word and say Mustafa is the Man with (With a thumbs up 👍). Oh! There is more... Tan, Our guide in Izmir for our tour of the 7 Churches in the book of Revelation was exceptional and great in taking us through the history and background information about the 7 Churches of Asia which gave us more understanding about the times in which the community of the Churches existed, and what the Church had to contend with. Tan also recommended eating places with excellent Turkish dinning which we enjoyed. We also visited and shopped at the Kapadokia Onyx shop and also bought some traditionally made raisins on the way. Tan and the driver took really good care of us with a tailor made service. Would highly recommend this tour👍. Michael and Bisi.

8 Days Seven Churches of Revelation MINI Group Tour including Istanbul: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does 8 Days Seven Churches of Revelation MINI Group Tour including Istanbul cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 8 Days Seven Churches of Revelation MINI Group Tour including Istanbul take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.
Is 8 Days Seven Churches of Revelation MINI Group Tour including Istanbul worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8 Days Seven Churches of Revelation MINI Group Tour including Istanbul?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 8 Days Seven Churches of Revelation MINI Group Tour including Istanbul suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8 Days Seven Churches of Revelation MINI Group Tour including Istanbul?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8 Days Seven Churches of Revelation MINI Group Tour including Istanbul start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Princes Islands Blue Journey from Old City Istanbul, Famous Istanbul Pub Crawl #1 Nightlife Experience, Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Istanbul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
