17 days in absolute wilderness, this was a wonderful tour that Pete & I did with Trek America. We had a really nice tour guide Jeff and a bus of about a dozen people to travel and share the adventure with. We drove alot of miles around Alaska and camped in little tents for most of the time, staying in a lodge only once that I can remember ! It was the only tour I have ever done where you have to share in the cooking & cleaning duties, probably the last too, when ...

Our tour leader was a lovely woman named Arzu and we saw some beautiful places around Turkey, which happens to be one of my favourite countries I have visited. We saw the wonderful Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, before travelling to other wonderful places such as the amazing landscape of Cappadocci...
