Oct 2024 Turkey Tour Schedule
Sign up now, there is still a few spots left!
In 2023, we embarked on an inspiring journey with 15 universities from the US, UK and Europe. Together, we ventured across Anatolia, visiting Istanbul, Bursa, Eskisehir and Ankara, connecting with local high schools and students.
Our mission? To bridge the gap and foster meaningful exchanges between outstanding university representatives and eager learners.
The result? A resounding success!
Fast forward to '24, and our plans are in motion. Schools and hotels are now identified on the schedule.
Total cost is: $2500, plus Stripe fees of 5%. The cost includes group dinners in Istanbul, Bursa and Eskisehir, two sightseeing trips in Istanbul and bus transportation. Note that in Bursa and Eskisehir, we plan on staying at hotels with hot-springs. Flights and hotels are excluded but links are below so you can arrange your own.
You may return from Ankara on the evening of the 18th or the next day in the AM. There will be transportation to the airport for both.
