Group Travel Rocks!
Our colleague Lucy Graham has just returned from our adventure tours to Turkey. Having always travelled independently in the past, group travel was a new concept to her......
Misconceptions
“ I must admit, I had preconceptions of group travel as shuffling along behind a guide with a big red flag and following a structured itinerary. I’m happy to say that I was proved very wrong! It was all so relaxed. There was a good mixture of set activities with plenty of free time. Travelling in such a small group meant that we were very rarely waiting for each other, leaving more time to explore and appreciate our surroundings and I never once felt unsafe. It allowed me to try things I would never have experienced on my own: A table laden with every meze you could dream of, an evening of relaxation with a nargileh pipe, or taking home pictures of Pamukkale, as my camera failed to work that day!”
A Great Group
“Made up largely of solo travellers with a few couples. They were all like-minded, friendly and ready to delve into a new country. We got to know each other well during long dinners and on various train and bus journeys. We ALL had a blast!”
A Great Guide
“Travelling with an experienced local guide was priceless. There were no language barriers to overcome and our itinerary ran flawlessly so we could all enjoy our experience. As our leader understood both Turkish customs as well as our own, he was able to advise us with respect to local etiquette which made the trip authentic. Plus he always knew the best spots to eat at!”
Great Value
“If I had tried to arrange such a trip on my own in the same short amount of time, I’m sure I would have failed miserably. There would have been miscommunications, missed buses and unfortunate touting experiences galore. Our group number meant that we could negotiate good deals in restaurants and our guide’s organisation meant that everything connected together beautifully. For these reasons I would rate the Turkey Adventure highly and definitely good value.”

Radu,
Better than being alone!
I've been fortunate enough to travel the world, I've travelled with friends, family, on my own, and I honestly agree with your post 100%
Travelling as a group is much more entertaining and you can experience amazing things with people by your side. Beats going on your own every time in my opinion.
