Join our scheduled small-group departure for a well-valued 5-day adventure across Cappadocia and Istanbul, perfect for travellers who enjoy exploring alongside like-minded companions on a fixed itinerary. Experience the surreal fairy chimneys of Ürgüp and the Özkonak underground city, then cruise the Bosphorus strait between two continents with an expert English-speaking guide.
Combine Türkiye's two most iconic destinations in a short private trip, planned in-house by Inca Tour, a TURSAB-licensed operator, and led by English-speaking guides. You begin in Cappadocia with the fairy chimneys of Ürgüp and the Özkonak underground city, and an optional sunrise balloon flight over its surreal valleys.
A short flight then brings you to Istanbul, where you tour the Hippodrome, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, visit the sumptuous Dolmabahçe Palace and cruise the Bosphorus between two continents. With comfortable hotels, private transfers and the internal flight included, it is the perfect five-day introduction to Türkiye. Prices are per person and fall as your group grows.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
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!

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.
