This deluxe programme is built around flexibility rather than a fixed sightseeing schedule. For six nights you stay in Istanbul and in a luxury cave hotel in Cappadocia, and on every day of the tour an English-speaking licensed guide and a private van are at your disposal between 09:00 and 18:00. You decide each morning whether to explore, shop or simply enjoy the hotel, and a personal tour consultant can be reached by phone around the clock.
The tour begins with a meet and greet at Istanbul Airport, a private transfer and priority check-in with a welcome cocktail. During your days in Istanbul your guide can take you to the sights you choose. Suggested places for the first full day are the Ancient Hippodrome, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, Topkapı Palace, Galata Tower, Istiklal Street, Süleymaniye Mosque, Pierre Loti Hill and the Spice Bazaar. For the second day the suggestions include Çamlıca Hill, a two-hour private Bosphorus cruise on a luxury yacht, the Grand Bazaar, Dolmabahçe Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace, Miniaturk and a 15-minute private helicopter ride. Lunches and dinners in Istanbul are at your own choice, with your guide happy to recommend restaurants.
On day four you fly to Cappadocia on a domestic flight booked at the time and class you prefer, and are met and transferred to your cave hotel, where dinner is served on all three evenings. Over the next two days the vehicle is ready from 08:00. Suggested Cappadocia experiences are a hot air balloon flight at sunrise, Göreme Open Air Museum, Uçhisar Castle, Çavuşin, Devrent Valley, Ürgüp and the Three Beauties, as well as a jeep safari, ATV ride, horse riding, a jet boat ride, Ihlara Valley, Selime Cathedral, Özkonak Underground City, Nar Crater Lake and Pigeon Valley. On the last day you are taken to Cappadocia airport for your flight back to Istanbul.

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!
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 — 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!
