Will I travel with the same group and guide throughout the tour?

Our multi-day Turkey packages are regular group/shared tour arrangements, not fully escorted tours with one tour leader and the same guests from arrival to departure. Sightseeing tours are shared and usually operate with about 15-20 guests, but group size and participants may change by city or day as travelers join or leave different scheduled tours. Licensed English-speaking guides lead scheduled sightseeing visits only. Guides do not travel with guests on domestic flights, intercity buses, airport transfers, hotel transfers, or free-time periods unless this is specifically stated in the itinerary. For flights, buses, and transfers, guests are met by our driver or local representative at airports, bus terminals, or hotels and assisted with the planned transfer. One Nation Travel coordinates the full itinerary, hotels, domestic tickets, transfers, local guides, and support throughout the trip.

July 6, 2026 Gallipoli and Troy with friends, long but worth it
Troy was my favourite photo stop, especially with friends all trying to get the same silly shot. Our 5-day / 4-night Turkey tour was packed but fun, with Istanbul, Gallipoli, Troy and Ephesus all covered without much stress. Burak and Ramazan kept things clear, and Yusuf drove safely even on the longer days. Grand Anzac in Canakakle was clean and easy. A few starts were early and we were quite tired by night, but still went out in Istanbul and loved it.

May 1, 2026 Had a great time in Turkey
I had a really good time on this 5 day tour in Turkey. The planning was simple and I did not have to worry much once it started. Our guide was helpful and pointed out some good photo spots, which I appreciated. I especially liked visiting Ephesus later in the day when it was a bit quieter. The transfers were on time and the hotels were clean and in useful areas. Nice mix of places and a very easy trip overall.

November 9, 2025 A Memorable 5-Day Adventure in Turkey
I had an amazing time on the 5-Day Istanbul, Ephesus, Gallipoli, and Troy Tour. Every day was filled with something new to discover, from exploring Istanbul’s landmarks to walking through the ancient ruins of Ephesus and Troy. Visiting Gallipoli was a deeply emotional experience that I’ll never forget. The organization, guides, and hotels were all excellent. One Nation Travel made everything easy and enjoyable from start to finish.
