Get ready to time travel to ancient times in Hierapolis! This UNESCO World Heritage Site will take you on a magical journey to the Greco-Roman city located on natural hot springs. Who needs a spa day when you can soak in the healing waters since the 2nd century BC? And that’s not all, we’ll also take you to Pamukkale, the Cotton Castle, where you can witness the spectacular mineral deposits left by thermal water.
And once the sun sets, gear up for a wild night out with your squad as you hop through the best pubs in town.
Bundle up for a magical winter adventure as Cappadocia transforms into a snowy wonderland! Trek through the snow-dusted trails of Ihlara Valley, explore the fascinating Kaymaklı or Derinkuyu Underground City hidden beneath the earth, marvel at the majestic Selime Monastery draped in winter charm, and soak in breathtaking panoramic views of the snow-covered fairy chimneys from Pigeon Valley. It’s Cappadocia at its most enchanting.
It’s time to end the year in style! Kick off the day with an exciting Segway tour through Istanbul, gliding past its iconic landmarks while soaking in the city’s rich history in the most fun and effortless way. Spend the rest of the day exploring the festive streets before the city transforms for an unforgettable night. As midnight approaches, join your travel squad for an epic New Year’s Eve celebration filled with music, dancing, laughter, dazzling city lights, and spectacular fireworks lighting up Istanbul’s skyline. Count down to the New Year in one of the world’s most vibrant cities and welcome the year ahead with unforgettable memories, new friendships, and endless adventures!
Start the New Year exploring the colorful streets of Balat, where vibrant houses, charming cafés, and hidden corners make for the perfect first adventure of the year.

Hi this is Pushpa from Bengaluru, Karnataka My first International trip with trip and tales to Vietnam 2025 was more than a vacation. It was a journey of personal growth. We had an amazing experience with Shreya (Trip lead). From the moment the tour started, it was well organised, kept everyone engaged and answered every question with patience and insight. If you are thinking about taking your first international trip, go for it. Its an investment in memories and perspective that will stay with you forever. Thank you Shreya Pinakin GodboleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good set of people, Sherya our trip leader was amazing… in all a great experience Shivani RanaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the opportunity to visit Vietnam this May 2025. We explored many places and covered many activities. Thanks to our trip leader Shreya...we had a lot of fun and explored the new culture. The package was very well worth it. Our stay at all three places was very top notch and close to the walking street which made it super convenient for us. Other than the activities booked in the package Shreya helped and guided us throughout and gave many suggestions which helped in making the trip more enjoyable. She helped us with any urgent matters also. Overall she was like a friend. Very professional at the same time. All in all the trip was very well planned and executed. Only taking memories from them and will definitely book with them next time!!!!
