Explore the vibrant streets, relax by the beautiful coastline, and get ready to meet your fellow travellers as you begin this unforgettable journey together.

Day 2

Day Trip To Pamukkale & Hierapolis

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.

Day 3

Antalya Explore + Nightlife

Spend the day exploring Antalya at your own pace—chase the stunning Düden Falls, relax at Lara or Konyaaltı Beach, and wander through the charming streets of Kaleiçi (Old Town). If the weather permits, set sail on a boat trip along the coastline to discover hidden coves and crystal-clear waters.
As the sun sets, we will head out to experience Antalya’s vibrant nightlife with its lively cafés, bars, and waterfront vibes.

Antalya to cappadocia | Atv/Horse tour + Turkish Night

Pack your bags and get ready to take off to the fairy-tale land of Cappadocia! In the evening, saddle up for a horse tour through the awe-inspiring Cappadocian valleys or the adventurous souls can opt for an ATV tour through these unique terrains.
And to top it off, we’ll feast like sultans and dance like dervishes with a Turkish night that includes delicious traditional cuisine, plenty of booze, and mesmerizing performances – all in a stunning cave restaurant that’s straight out of a storybook!

Day 5

ihlara valley

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.

Day 6

Hot Air Balloon | Cappadocia to Istanbul

Rise with the sun and soar above the whimsical landscapes of Cappadocia in a hot air balloon, with stunning views of the otherworldly chimneys and valleys below covered in snow. (Weather Permitting & at additional cost).
Later in the afternoon board your flight to Istanbul.
Feel like a true Istanbulite and tick off your bucket list by visiting the legendary Galata Tower and hopping around the buzzing Taksim Square – where the vibes are as electric as its lights and not to forget to try the famous Cheesecake and Baklavas!

Happy New Year from Istanbul - Segway + Pub Crawling

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!

Had a wonderful experience with Trips and Tales on the Kazakhstan trip! 🇰🇿✨ Beautiful destinations, stunning views, and an amazing group of people made it truly memorable. The trip was filled with laughter, fun, and new friendships. The only suggestion would be to add a few more days to explore Kazakhstan at a more relaxed pace and cover a little more. Overall, a lovely experience and memories to cherish! ❤️

A wonderfully curated trip in and around Almaty. The snow capped mountains, turquoise blue waters and deserted canyons made this itinerary a mix of diverse landscapes. The road trips with little to no one on either side while we sang to some amazing desi and videsi beats was a surreal experience. The people of Kazakhstan are as warm as the friends that I made during this trip. Do try the Chicken Samsa, Kazakh chai and the Beshbarmak. Out trip leader, Aditi, made sure we came out of our comfort zones and gelled so well with us that by mid of the trip we could not see the leader within her but only a friend.

Had an amazing experience with TnT in Kazakhstan! 🇰🇿✨ The itinerary was perfectly planned, and our trip leader, Aditi, was absolutely amazing. Had a fantastic bunch of people to explore Kazakhstan with, making the entire experience even more memorable. Honestly, even 6 days felt like 6 hours! 😂❤️ Would definitely request TnT to plan longer trips now because we just weren’t ready for it to end! 😉

I wasn't very happy with the itinerary because it was changed later, and many places that were originally expected were either removed or made optional. Even when some places were included, we had to reach those destinations on our own, which meant spending extra on transportation as well as entry tickets. Considering the budget, I felt the trip was much more expensive than expected because internal transportation within the cities wasn't included. We ended up paying for that separately, which made it feel like we were managing the trip on our own rather than being part of an organized group tour. There were too many leisure days, and it felt like almost half of the trip was just free time. This trip was memorable to me because of the people and the place (Spain). There were points where our team leader has helped us, I genuinely appreciate that.

Our trip to the Philippines with Trips N Tales was honestly one of those vacations we’ll remember for a long time! From the beautiful beaches and breathtaking views to all the little experiences in between, everything came together so perfectly. What we loved most was that we could simply enjoy our holiday without constantly worrying about bookings, transfers or what to do next. The planning was thoughtful, the stays were comfortable, and the overall coordination was really smooth. The Trips N Tales team was always approachable and quick to help whenever we needed anything, which made us feel well taken care of throughout the trip. We got to explore, relax, have lots of fun and make some amazing memories along the way. It genuinely felt like a holiday rather than a hectic trip. Thank you, Trips N Tales, for helping us create such a beautiful Philippines experience. We’re definitely keeping you guys in mind for our next adventure!
