Or fill in the form below.
Can/Should children come on the tour?
Yes, absolutely. They usually love it more than the adults!
I am a vegetarian. Would it be problem?
Our lunch in a Turkish home and dinner at the restaurant will have abundant food for vegetarians. How about vegans? We promise to do our absolute best 🙂 but it’s best you let us know beforehand.
Is there anything we should bring such as bathes or towels for the Turkish bath?
Everything will be provided, you don’t have to bring anything but your smile. (cheesy alert) However, bringing swim gear is recommended for female participants.
You may bring spare clothes for dinner. You will have the chance to change in your room in the Turkish bath.
Is it possible to avoid 'The Turkish Bath' part of the tour?
Yes, absolutely. Many participants in the past have skipped the Turkish bath and we have always managed to replace that hour with a fun activity such as exploring the neighborhood and having pre-dinner drinks in a bar nearby.
In visiting the school, are they in need of supplies?
Thank you but that’s not necessary at all – so please don’t be bothered. But if you really really want to, past experience tells us that the kids at school mostly enjoy picture books and interesting CDs and DVDs (as in the schools we visit usually have projectors in the classrooms)
Does the tour get canceled when it rains?
No, the rain got nothing on us! 🙂
