Questions we get on this tour

Asked and answered

Which tour is best for Turkey?

The best tour for Turkey largely depends on your interests, but some popular options include the "Classical Turkey Tour," which covers Istanbul, Cappadocia, and Ephesus, or a "Coastal Turkey Tour," focusing on the beautiful Aegean and Mediterranean coastlines, including places like Antalya and Pamukkale.

What are the best months to visit Turkey?

The best months to visit Turkey are during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to November) when the weather is mild, and the tourist crowds are smaller. Summer (July and August) can be very hot, especially in the inland areas, but it's ideal for a coastal or beach holiday.

How much does a Turkey tour cost?

The cost of a Turkey tour depends on the type of tour, the duration, and the services provided. On average, a 7-day package tour can cost between $600 to $2,000 per person, ranging from budget to luxury options. Prices may vary depending on the season and accommodations.

Do I need a visa for Turkey?

Yes, most visitors to Turkey need a visa. For many nationalities, including U.S., Canadian, and European Union citizens, an e-Visa can be easily obtained online prior to travel. However, some countries are exempt from this requirement, so it's best to check in advance.

Travellers inside one of Egypt’s ancient temples

When to go

The comfortable half of the year runs October to April: 20–28 °C in Luxor and Aswan, which is what open-deck sailing and three hours inside a temple actually require.

Daytime20–28 °C
CrowdsPeak Nov–Feb
PricesHighest Dec–Jan
  • March and April keep the weather and lose the crowds — the best value window.
  • June to August is much cheaper, but afternoons pass 42 °C and excursions run at dawn.
  • Christmas and New Year need a 50% deposit, because the cruisers ask us for one too.

Our tip

Book three to four months out for November to February. For a dahabiya, make it four — they carry twelve people and the good cabins go first.
