Turkey tour questions

Tours on Voyago are private: the vehicle and driver are reserved for your group alone, and the price is per vehicle, not per person. They run in Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, Trabzon, Bursa and Pamukkale, departing from the city where the operator is based; each listing shows whether the driver speaks Arabic, and a guide comes along only if the listing says so. Each tour page states its duration, departure area and what the price covers; you book with the operator on WhatsApp and the operator confirms.

Questions on this page

Should I choose a private tour or a group tour?

Tours on Voyago are private, not group tours: the vehicle and driver are reserved for your group alone and are not shared with other guests. The price is per vehicle, not per person, so the cost per head drops for larger families and groups of friends. Because the vehicle is yours, the tour can run on the date you choose; you settle the start time and stops with the operator on WhatsApp.

Do tour drivers speak Arabic?

On many tours the driver speaks Arabic. When the operator states it, the tour page shows an “Arabic-speaking driver” label, and the tours list can be filtered to show only those tours. Whether a guide comes along as well depends on the operator and the tour; if the listing does not make it clear, ask the operator with the WhatsApp button on the tour page before you book.

What is included in the tour price?

The tour price is per vehicle, not per person: the vehicle and driver are reserved for your group alone. Unless the tour description says otherwise, road and motorway/bridge tolls, fuel and the driver's fee are included. Cable car tickets and museum or archaeological site entry are not included, and meals usually are not. For anything the description does not make clear (child seat, guide, stops), ask the tour operator on WhatsApp before you book.

Does the tour pick me up from my hotel?

Each tour departs from the city where its operator is based, and the tour page shows that city. The pickup point and time — your hotel included — are agreed with the operator on WhatsApp when you book. If you are staying in another city, look on Voyago for tours run by operators based there, which start from that city.

What is the difference between a half-day and a full-day tour?

Half-day tours usually run 4-5 hours and focus on one area or a few headline stops. Full-day tours run 8-10 hours, reach further sites and mostly include a lunch break. For a first visit with only one day to spare, a full day covers more; on a flight day or a short layover, a half day is the safer choice.

Are the tours suitable for families with children?

Most tours are family-paced, but walking distance and total length vary by tour. For families with small children, half-day tours and programmes with active stops such as a boat ride or cable car go down more easily. Some activities, balloon flights among them, have minimum age or height rules, which are stated on the tour page.

Should I book tours before I travel?

In summer, over religious holidays and during school breaks, places fill quickly, so booking ahead is advisable. Cappadocia balloon flights have the tightest capacity and are usually the first to sell out. Off-season you can often decide on the spot, though if you want an Arabic-speaking driver, booking ahead still widens your choice.

Can I cancel a tour and get a refund?

No tour booking or payment is taken on Voyago; cancellation terms are confirmed by the operator on WhatsApp when you book, so ask before you confirm. When an activity cannot run because of weather — balloon flights above all — an alternative day or a refund depends on the operator's own rule.
