You bring the speakers and the schedule. We handle the venue, hotels, transport, meals, and the local knowledge to make it run. We did exactly this when we convened the Nicea Conference. Tell us what you're planning below.

1 · The basics

Who's traveling?
Tell us about your gathering
What's the event, who's it for, and what do you already have in place? Speakers, program, expected numbers, anything.
Roughly how many people?
Roughly how many people?
A rough headcount is fine.
When are you hoping to travel?
Six to twelve months out is ideal, but tell us what you're thinking.
When is it?
Dates, or a rough window if they're not fixed yet.

İznik
Day trip
İznik (ancient Nicea)
Where the Nicene Creed was written, on the lake shore. An easy day from Istanbul.
Cappadocia
2 days
Cappadocia
Cave churches and underground cities where the early church sheltered, and the most extraordinary landscape in Turkey.
Hierapolis
1 day
Pamukkale & Hierapolis
The white travertine terraces above Laodicea, and the hot springs many commentators read behind Christ's warning in Revelation 3.
Flexible
Extra days
Add days at either end, for rest, to worship with a local church, or simply to slow down.
Will you have a teacher with you?
Two different roles, and worth knowing the difference before you answer.
Always included
Your guide

A licensed local professional who hosts your group day to day and paints in the historical and cultural background: what this city was, who lived here, what you're standing in.

Optional
A teacher

A pastor or scholar who opens the relevant Scriptures on site and connects what you're seeing to the text. Bring your own, or ask us to find one. Subject to availability, and easier the earlier you ask.

How much walking suits your group?
Some sites are steep or uneven, so it helps to know early.
3 · Practical
Do you have a per-person budget in mind?
Land package, not including international flights. For reference, our set routes start from $1,750 to $3,050 per person. A rough answer is fine. It helps us build something realistic rather than something you have to cut.
Any budget guidance?
Event pricing depends on scope: venue, hotels, meals, transport, days. Even a rough figure per attendee, or a total, helps us scope. We'll refine it with you.
Where are you in the process?
No wrong answer. It just tells us how to reply.
We reply within two business days.
No deposit, no obligation. Rather talk it through first?
Your outline so far

Tell us about your group and we'll start shaping a tour.

Nothing here is binding. Answer what you know, skip what you don't, and we'll fill the rest in together.

Thank you. We'll be in touch within a couple of days.

I took a trip with Enjoy to the eastern part of Turkey. The itinerary was structured but flexible, and the company handled the details impeccably. Kieler is the right balance of knowledgeable, personable, and humble. It was a pleasure doing business with Enjoy. I’d recommend them for any of your travel needs in Turkey.

My wife and I used Enjoy Tours during our recent trip to Izmir and Cesme. While we certainly enjoyed our time there, it was the support we got after testing positive for Covid that was impressive. Enjoy Tours arranged for our extended stay at the hotel, coordinated our health care and continued testing, and took care of all our travel arrangements after we were cleared to fly. In our time of crisis, they had our back.

Our tour was of Ephesus, St. John's Basilica and Artemis Temple. It was a wonderful experience. Our driver Necanti did a great job keeping us on time and safe. He was so kind and friendly. Ozan lead our tour, he was knowledgeable, well read and simply delightful. Ozan taught us so much. He was especially kind to our children. The casual breaks were wonderful times where he helped us better understand Turkish history and culture. I highly recommend Enjoy Tours.

Many blessing to him always!!

We were recommended Enjoy Tours, and used them to book a trip to Izmir and Denizli Turkey to visit ruins and the beautiful thermal pools. Enjoy Tours booked our flights and hotel rooms for 7 people. They provided us a great itinerary and suggested fun things to do in both cities. It was a stress relief to not have to look through several hotel and airline websites. I will happily use their services again for our next trip!

My girlfriends and I recently enjoyed a fantastic 4-day, 3-night vacation in Istanbul - which included an excellent day tour in Istanbul organized by Enjoy Tours. Our day included a Bosphorus ferry ride, a tour of the Hague Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Palace, a fabulous traditional Kofte lunch, and so much more! Our tour guide, Gourkan, was kind, professional, and full of wonderful stories. He was especially mindful of how best to care for our group - which included 4 young children. We could not have had a better time! Update: Enjoy Tours outdid themselves in organizing a 2-day, 1-night trip for us (myself and two other friends) to Ephesus from Izmir! Kieler was such a pleasure to work with: he took the time to understand our needs and desires for the trip and crafted a custom trip just for us. We started off the trip by taking the train from Izmir to Selçuk, spent the first part of the first day taking an informative and Ephesus tour with Metin (the tour guide that Kieler found for us, who was excellent), then checked out the Efes museum and visited St John's Church, and then headed over to nearby Sirince to enjoy a lovely evening and overnight stay at a B&B, followed by a lovely Turkish Kavalti (breakfast) the next morning, followed by roaming around Sirince to buy souvenirs and taste some wine. All in all, a fantastic short getaway trip! We wanted go see Ephesus but also have the opportunity to relax a little outside of the city, and this trip was exactly what we desired!

My sister and I have had a crazy experience and Enjoy Tours came to our rescue! They shuttled us from the airport to our hotel in Ephesus. The ride was one of the best/easiest experiences we’ve had on this trip! They gave us all the details including pictures and a short video on how to navigate through the airport to meet the driver. I would 100% use them again.

Our family of six took a private two-week tour of Turkiye through Enjoy Bible Tours. We had an incredible experience and highly recommend Enjoy. Our contact with Enjoy started with emails to Bryan, asking if the company could accommodate our desired itinerary. Bryan thoroughly answered our questions and communicated promptly and professionally. Once our tour started, we were in the capable hands of Selcuk, our driver, and Metin, our guide. Our transportation was worry-free as Selcuk sometimes drove for long hours, and occasionally moved us through tight spaces. Our guide Metin was top-notch. His English was excellent, his historical knowledge was incredible, and his advice always helpful. Metin had selected our hotels for the trip, and they were nice, safe, and in convenient locations. He also never failed to have a good idea for where to eat our meals. One day we asked Selcuk and Metin if we could change our itinerary a little and spend some time at the beach. They were flexible and made it happen. Near the end of our trip, Metin even invited us into his home to meet his family, an experience that became a trip highlight. Enjoy Tours made our time in Turkiye worry-free and memorable!

Absolutely superb tour. Our guide was punctual, very knowledgeable, friendly, kind, eager to answer questions, and honest when he didn't have the answers. This was my second trip to Ephesus, and by far the better of the two. Communication with the company and the tour guide was great.
