Europe Explorer Trips

Thank you, G Adventures and Isil Aktas, for showing me beautiful Turkiye! I enjoyed every moment of this fantastic two-week journey. The knowledge and fond memories are mine to keep, but I blame you for causing me to gain weight after this trip (Turkish cuisine was so delicious).

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour as our 1st G Adventure trip and our 1st trip to Portugal. We looked forward to waking up every morning to see our day unfold, every day just seemed to top the previous day. We enjoyed the history and incredible architecture we saw and all of the wonderful wine we consumed that makes the Douro Valley famous.

Wow, this was our first G Adventure experience and it will definitely not be our last! We loved the small group dynamic, enjoyed the history and architecture in each of the unique areas we visited, the hiking was very approachable (we're not seasoned hikers), the views and vistas were pretty spectacular, the food was local, delicious & diverse and of course the Douro wine was wonderful :) We look forward to exploring other countries with G Adventure.

It was FANTASTIC! The itinerary was a great mix of sights, activities, experiences. There was nothing I didn?t thoroughly enjoy. I also appreciated that the pottery and rugs were very educational with no pressure to buy. The smaller group size was nice and Orcun was amazing! Also I liked all the food experiences we had, everything was delicious!

This tour covers many of the highlights of Turkey and was a wonderful experience. Since there is only one included day in Istanbul I would recommend flying in a few days earlier and exploring Istanbul on your own before the tour begins - the city is twice the size of NYC and has a lot to offer. This is not difficult to do since the city is safe and has an excellent public transit system. This tour is then a fantastic way to see other portions of Turkey.

Fabulous experience. I experienced foods beyond what I would likely discover on my own. A wonderful mix of history, experiences, and our CEO , Orcun, was wonderful. Funny, kind , enthusiastic about his country and the history. An amazing trip! Thanks!
