A Brief Introduction to our Tours |
We want our tour to be different from all others. Our tours don't just show you the sites, the museums, and the natural wonders (though, rest assured, they abound). We want you to feel Turkiye.
We will take you to palace-museums housing relics dating back more than a millennium. We will take you to the bustle of markets where vendors have haggled with buyers for hundreds of years. We will take you to artisans who practice crafts passed down for generations.
We will invite you to dine on tables set on sidewalks overlooking the evening traffic of Anatolian cities. We will welcome you to our friends' homes to share meals.
We will take you to Rumi's museum, where life size wax dervishes pose in states of reverie, meditation, and whirling, where priceless relics are on display, where a whisper of his poetry lingers in the halls. We will take you to see dervishes who play on the reed, who chant invocations, and who whirl in ecstasy.
We will be your guides through Turkiye, from Istanbul, city of the world's desire, to the shores of mythic Troy. We will take you not just to see Turkiye but, for a few days, to live Turkiye.

Ortaköy Mosque, officially the Büyük Mecidiye Camii (Grand Imperial Mosque of Sultan Abdülmecid) in İstanbul, is situated at the waterside of the Ortaköy pier square, one of the most popular locations on the Bosphorus.
The architectural structure of the Maiden's Tower (Kız Kulesi) dates back to 341 BC. This cape, which was an extension of the Bosphorous straits at the time (there are rumours that it was a peninsula before) used to be called "vus".
In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries under Seljuk rule in Anatolia, a hard white composite was applied to great effect to tile mosaic decorations and for pottery vessels.
The Sanctuary of Nemrud Dagi is one of the most remarkable, best preserved, but least known monuments of Asia Minor. The site is situated 2150m above sea level atop one of the highest peaks in the Anti-Taurus Mountains of southeastern Turkey near the banks of the Euphrates River.
