Even
though there are excellent guided
tours of Turkey, many
travelers want to plan their own trips
to Turkey, which is
exactly what Turkey
Travel Planner is for.
However,
more and more people are also planning "hybrid" trips:
part independent travel,
and part organized
tour (group
or private). Others arrive on cruise
ships and want a local
tour, shore excursion, private
guide,
car and driver, hotel, etc.
Good Turkish tour and travel agencies can help.
