Best of Turkey 3/25/24 Departure - Anyone?

I'm so excited to be booked on the 3/25 BOT and will be in IST a few days beforehand. Wondered if anyone on this forum is also booked for that tour and would like to connect in IST beforehand.

Yes!
There are several of us that were on the Adriatic tour booked for 3/25 BOT!
I plan on arriving Istanbul 3/22 and would love to connect. I have booked my pre tour days at Triada Hotel Karakoy via Booking.com.
I would love to get together & explore!

Not on your tour, but if you are offered the option to book the pre-trip foodie tour with SRM Travel, do it. You go to the Asia side of Istanbul and get a totally different feel for the city than the tour covers. Also I suggest going at least two full days early, three is better. You simply don't get enough time in Istanbul on the tour. Enjoy!

Hi @Ms. B…good to hear from you. I am just at the early stages of planning but have read a trip report from CWSocial of her trip and am using that as inspiration for this trip. Just received my IST Guidebook today and will be delving in over the weekend. I will likely be in IST 4-5 days in advance of tour kickoff. Yes, let’s please connect in the next few weeks.

Totally agree with the Foodie Tour recommendation…I’ve already submitted my request for that but don’t have confirmation of day yet.

Thank you @CL…I’ve heard that tour is fantastic and have submitted my request. After reading a trip report earlier, I realize just a day or two in IST won’t be enough for me!

Hi @ Ms. B...I DM'd you a while back. If you're still interested in connecting in the days prior to the tour, please DM me back.

Hi Fiola,
I have sent you a private message on 2/6. Hopefully I'll hear from you!
