Land Exploration
EVERYTHING CONSIDERED AND INCLUDED
Explore Türkiye like a local with everything considered and included. We travel with hand-picked, expert local guides as well as a dedicated Captain’s Choice Tour Manager and Tour Doctor from Australia accompanying us for the whole journey, to ensure extra peace of mind.
COMMEMORATE ANZAC DAY AT GALLIPOLI
At Anzac Cove, remember the sacrifices made during the Gallipoli campaign while attending the Anzac Day Dawn Service. Then head to Lone Pine Cemetery to pay further tribute to the fallen.
A FEAST FOR THE SENSES
We spend three nights in the city of Istanbul, a mesmerising destination bridging Europe and Asia. Absorb the sights, food, colours and sounds of the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market, marvel at the Blue Mosque and cruise on the Bosphorus. A chance to indulge affords you the opportunity to experience a Turkish bath and visit the store where Turkish delight was invented.
UP, UP AND AWAY
Take in the magnificent spectacle of Cappadocia on a private hot air balloon adventure over an otherworldly landscape. Be awed by the extraordinary cone-shaped rock formations known as ‘fairy chimneys’ set against the everchanging pastel-hued sunrise.

Our carefully curated experiences allow an in-depth discovery of Türkiye. Try your hand at Turkish marbling or a calligraphy course, sample Turkish coffee, convene with locals for lunch at typical village houses, view a Dervish ceremony, and take part in a pottery workshop.
