Worth it if you're fit, flexible with hotels, and value guides over comfort. Think twice if you need lie-ins, reliable food quality, or prefer relaxation.
- Guides Memo, Marve, Ismael and Ali genuinely elevate the experience with deep historical knowledge.
- Early starts are brutal—3:30am and 4:00am pickups are standard, not exceptions.
- Istanbul's Avicenna hotel is notoriously cramped with tiny rooms and inconsistent staff courtesy.
- Expect repetitive shopping stops (leather, carpets, jewellery) and hit-or-miss buffet lunches throughout.
