Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

    I went on the tour starting mid August 2022. Overall was an incredible experience, Tarik, our group leader has been great whether in the early morning wake up or in the late night partying, always making sure we had fun. In fact, I enjoyed this tour ( both sightseeing, activities and group ) so much I bought the Cappadocia and have no regrets in doing so. Be advised, the itinerary is packed and you'll get to see a lot of Turkey's finest but that comes at the price of several hours of transport between locations. In conclusion, I cherish the time I spent in the tour and feel like I've made long time friends along the way.

    Sefa Uz, the tour guide, was absolutely amazing. Could not have had a better intro to Turkey - was very efficient, had an excellent energy, and had a lot of really interesting information about the trip. The itinerary was also very diverse and we got to see a lot of Turkey through responsible travel

    I really enjoyed traveling this way. It really made me feel connected to the local community and Turkey. Sefa was an amazing tour guide, not only for his preparation and passion for history, but also for going above and beyond helping us with everything and giving us all the information we needed. 1/1 I would recommend this trip and traveling with Sefa to all my friends.
