My first trip with Runner Tourism was a part of small group; a twelve-day gullet cruise with a land extension to Cappadocia. For my second trip they put together a ten-day private tour to Eastern Turkey. This was hands-down the best trip of my life. I’ve done a number of guided vacations, and Cemil has been the best of the guides.
We loved the whole trip; one of the most rewarding we have ever taken. Everything ran as planned and exceeded expectations. Somehow we managed to be in the right place at the right time. The mostly boutique hotels were terrific and the food was wonderful. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
