Private Turkey Trips by Country: Visa Rules and Planning

Private Turkey trips by country start with one question: where do you fly from? Visa rules, flight times and holidays change with the passport you carry, so each home country has its own page. Pick yours below. Every trip is private, with a licensed guide in your language and a driver of your own. We plan the route, book the hotels and arrange every transfer from the day you land.

Private Turkey trips by country: Australia and Asia

Because the flight is long, we plan these trips with an easy first day in Istanbul.

• Australia: the visa, Anzac Day at Gallipoli and finding your soldier at Lone Pine.
• New Zealand: the visa, then Chunuk Bair and the New Zealand memorials on the peninsula.
• Singapore and Malaysia: entry rules for both passports, halal meals and prayer times.
• India: trips for couples, families and honeymooners, with vegetarian meals planned for you.

Private Turkey trips by country: Europe

Istanbul is a short flight from most of Europe, so a long weekend works as well as a full tour.

• UK and Ireland: passport rules for each country and the Gallipoli landing at Cape Helles.
• Netherlands and Scandinavia: ID card or passport for the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

The Americas, Africa and the Gulf

• USA: visa-free entry and routes of ten days or more, since the flight is long.
• Canada: visa-free entry, then the classic route from Istanbul to Cappadocia and Ephesus.
• South Africa: the e-Visa or the sticker visa, then a first trip through Turkey.
• UAE and Saudi Arabia: a VIP welcome, family suites, halal meals and a guide who speaks Arabic.

In your language

We also write for travelers in Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, German and many other languages. You can find every one of those pages on our language page.
