Great Experience in Turkey with Serendipity

Just returned from an incredible tour of Turkey with Serendipity. I've been communicating with Fazli since before Covid, when our first planned trip had to be cancelled. Fazli has been very responsive to all my Email and flexible with all my requests. In fact, I asked to add an extra day in Istanbul to our 10 day tour, and that was no problem (and I highly recommend the change if possible). We were a group of three and we joined two other couples who we did not know for a total of 7 people in our group. All of our accommodations were well located (two blocks from Hagia Sofia in Istanbul), very clean, and generally with comfortable beds. Overall, the food was good, but there was some variance between the 5 or so hotels in which we stayed. The restaurants we visited for our lunches were all excellent. The days were well paced (with a few days of much walking at some of the ancient sites). The days we had long drives were broken up with site visits along the way and plenty of breaks. There's a lot to see and do in Turkey, and the sites were incredible. Our guide Veysel was top notch! I can't imagine having a better guide. He was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the country and the sites, as well as other relevant historical facts and situations that really tied together the stories and the information, he provided to us. He was also very flexible in meeting our extra requests when that was possible. For example, we fit in some tasting at a local winery in Cappadocia. Overall, a great experience, and I highly recommend Serendipity.

Incredibly awesome.

The kindness and attention of the people everywhere, specially the guide and the driver. The tour was an experience that blew our minds, never imagined how awesome Turkey and the Turkish people are. Serendipity Tours did an unbelievable job, I would recommend them without hesitation, from Fazli who assisted in the coordination to the guide Mustafa and the driver Fevzi. This experience will stay in our minds forever. Thank you!!!!! Ana and Nick from New York

Excellant tour company with the best guide.

Veysel Gokhan Bayam aka Vase to our group was wonderful. His english is great and his knowledge of all the history is amazing. I was blown away with his infinite knowledge of all the biblical historical sites we went to. Along with all the mythology stories that tied into all that we saw. The hotels chosen with our group was excellent - some were beyond what we expected. I hope to do this tour again and also add more days to see more of Turkey. And definitely with this tour company. They arranged PCR tests at our hotel before our departure - which worked out great. This company and Vase are truly the best if you want to see Turkey. And our driver " the Sultan " was such a nice man and a great driver too.

Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.

How much does Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group cost?

+

Prices start at $3,990 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 Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group take?

+

Plan for about 240 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 Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 240-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group?

+

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 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group 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.

What is included in Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group?

+

Included: Professional guide; Meals as per itinerary (9 breakfasts, 7 lunches, 7 dinners); All taxes, fees and handling charges; Domestic flight from Cappadocia to Istanbul; and 9 nights accommodation as per itinerary. Not included: Beverages; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Istanbul. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

What languages is Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group offered in?

+

It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group?

+

Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

Is Best Of Turkey Tour 10 Days Small Group wheelchair or stroller accessible?

+
