This tour is meticulously designed for travelers who seek an authentic connection with Turkish traditions, offering a rare opportunity to step away from the conventional tourist path and immerse yourself in the daily life of local communities. From the moment you arrive, you will be welcomed into the heart of Tokat's vibrant agricultural landscape, where the intersection of Black Sea, Eastern, and Central Anatolian influences creates a distinct regional identity.
The journey focuses heavily on the culinary arts, inviting you to participate in the preparation of traditional dishes such as gozleme and stuffed leaves. You will spend time in local farms and orchards, gathering fresh produce and seasonal fruits directly from the source. This interactive approach ensures that you do not merely consume local food, but understand the labor and love behind every bite.

Practical details are simple: you are picked up from your hotel in Ankara City Center between 05:00 and 06:00 for the airport, fly to Sivas (domestic flights are not included in the price) and are met by our representative for the roughly 1.5-hour drive to Tokat. The price covers one night at a hotel in Tokat, one breakfast, two local lunches and one dinner, a professional English-speaking guide on the ecological tour and the city tour, all transfers between hotels and airports in Ankara and Sivas, entrance fees in the itinerary and hotel and tour taxes.
Beyond the ecological activities, the tour provides a comprehensive exploration of Tokatβs historical fabric. You will wander through ancient dwelling points, visit significant religious educational centers, and admire the architectural beauty of the cityβs historic clock tower. A highlight includes exploring the Tashan marketplace, where the local "yazma" scarves showcase exquisite regional craftsmanship. This experience concludes with a taste of the world-renowned Tokat Kebab, ensuring your visit is as delicious as it is educational, before returning to Ankara with a deeper understanding of Anatolian life.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized β from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
