Tour details

PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT
This tour is organized with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people. If sufficient participation is not achieved, the final cancellation notification date is 20 days before the start of the tour. A tour canceled due to insufficient participation will be notified to you through your agency.

VISA

Visas are required for Turkish citizens.

Ordinary Passport            Visa required  

Green Passport                Visa required 

Service Passport          Visa required 

Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the end date of the trip and must not be more than 10 years old.
For destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be submitted with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will provide to you. In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border crossing of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports; such passports must be renewed, and if the country applies visa requirements to citizens of the Republic of Türkiye, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since guests under the age of 18 may be asked by the police officer on duty at entry and exit points to present a document showing the joint consent of the parents when traveling alone or accompanied by only one of their mother or father; we recommend that our guests under the age of 18 and their parents pay particular attention to this matter. 
*Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for the destination/passport where a visa is required) does not mean that entry into the country will be permitted. Passport control officers have the authority to refuse you entry into the country. Our agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.
*As of April 10, 2026, under the European Entry/Exit System (EES), which entered into force in European Union countries, passport control procedures at border crossings are carried out by collecting biometric data (fingerprints and facial recognition).
Due to this application, situations such as congestion, long waiting times, system delays or biometric data not being readable may occur at airports and border crossings.
These processes are entirely under the control of the relevant country's border security units, and our agency has no authority to intervene. Therefore, our agency cannot be held responsible for delays, waiting times or any resulting disruptions to the program.
It is strongly recommended that our guests ensure their passports are physically in suitable condition, that there are no conditions that could prevent biometric data collection (cuts, wounds, excessive cream, etc.), and that they allow sufficient time for border procedures.
 “This application is an international security procedure, and all guests who purchase the tour are deemed to have accepted this process.”

Tour Program
Antalya - Izmir
In the evening, we meet at Antalya Airport. After completing our check-in and baggage procedures, we depart for İzmir on our SunExpress Airlines flight. Following our approximately one-hour journey, we arrive at Adnan Menderes Airport and collect our baggage. We prepare for our flight the following day.
Izmir - London
In the morning, we meet at the International Terminal of İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport, complete our passport and baggage procedures, and take our direct SunExpress flight to London, England’s historic, cultural, and modern city, one of the most visited cities in the world. Upon arrival, we begin exploring the city panoramically, accompanied by our guide’s commentary, to get an overview of this cosmopolitan metropolis, renowned for its unforgettable historic landmarks as well as its modern buildings. At the end of our panoramic tour, during which our guide provides information about the city, we see many historic and modern landmarks, including London Bridge and Millennium Bridge, before heading to Westminster Bridge, located near the famous Big Ben and King Charles Street. From the bridge, we enjoy a magnificent view of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, listen to our guide’s explanations, and have the opportunity to photograph the historic architecture during our walk. We continue our walk along Whitehall toward Trafalgar Square and then visit the Southbank Christmas Market, situated along the River Thames and dazzling with its colorful lights. We see the London Eye illuminated against the night sky and experience London’s enchanting Christmas atmosphere, filled with mulled wine, the scent of cinnamon, and sparkling lights. After spending unforgettable time at this beautiful Christmas market, which hosts various concerts and offers global flavors ranging from German sausages to cider in its wooden Christmas-decorated chalets, we check in to our hotel.
Cotswold Fairytale Christmas Villages
We begin the day with breakfast at our hotel and then set off eagerly on a journey unlike the usual, where we can observe local traditions more closely. We travel to the Cotswolds, a region in southwest England known for its rural beauty and historic villages, spanning seven different counties. Our first stop is Bibury, a small and charming village that has been protected as an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)” since 1966. Famous for its row of historic houses known as Arlington Row and described by William Morris as “the most beautiful village in England,” we begin exploring Bibury. During the Christmas season, the window frames and gardens of the houses are decorated, while the street lamps are adorned with red ribbons and pine branches. We begin our walking tour in this charming village, where we will stroll among eye-catching decorations and shops. We then make our way to another famous village. We visit Bourton-on-the-Water, known for its famous Christmas tree in the middle of the river, where you can take photographs of Christmas trees made from colorful cookies, lined up along the road alongside festive decorations. After enjoying some pleasant time among the bridges over the river, hot-drink stalls, and Christmas decorations, we have free time for lunch at one of the restaurants decorated in the traditional English pub style. We then continue to the town of Stow-on-the-Wold, whose historic architecture will remind you of old Christmas postcards. This town has the highest elevation among the Cotswolds villages and towns. Upon arrival, we visit St. Edward’s Church, dating back to the 14th century and attracting visitors with its candlelit Christmas services. You may come across a giant Christmas tree set up in the town square, as well as local choirs performing Christmas carols nearby. During our free time in this dreamy medieval town, surrounded by an unforgettable Christmas atmosphere, you can pick up some evening snacks and buy souvenirs from its charming little shops decorated for Christmas. After taking memorable photographs amid the evening lights, we return to our hotel. Overnight at our hotel in London.
Full-Day London Christmas Markets
On our London Christmas Markets tour, we have breakfast at our hotel before setting off in our vehicle to explore this dreamlike, beautifully decorated city from one end to the other. We head to Greenwich Pier to discover the city from the River Thames, which divides London in two and has served as a lifeline throughout history. Among buildings recognized as UNESCO World Heritage sites, we begin exploring the Christmas market. After visiting Greenwich Christmas Market, where you can find stalls selling handmade jewelry, works of art, and locally produced goods, all adorned with Christmas decorations, we set off on our river cruise, offering views of London’s festive atmosphere from the Thames. As we continue our journey, accompanied by historic stories and spectacular views awaiting us around every bend of the Thames, we cross the famous Tower Bridge and add the Tower of London to our photographs. We then see many historic and modern landmarks, including London Bridge and Millennium Bridge, before completing our river excursion at Westminster Pier, located near the famous Big Ben and King Charles Street. From there, we head to Westminster Bridge, the first stop and starting point of our walking tour. From the bridge, we enjoy a wonderful view of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, listen to our guide’s commentary, and have the opportunity to admire and photograph the historic architecture during our walk. Continuing through St. James’s Royal Park, famous for its pelicans and natural atmosphere, we take a break to watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace and take memorable photographs. After enjoying our time here, we follow the same route to Covent Garden, located in London’s renowned West End theater and entertainment district. Decorated like a Christmas village, Covent Garden features craft displays and is home to the famous Royal Opera House. Here, we will see street musicians, historic buildings such as the 17th-century St. Paul’s Church, and various entertainment venues, while enjoying plenty of time in the festive atmosphere. We will also have free time to explore the shops hosting famous brands. Walking beneath the star-like lights adorning Regent Street and Carnaby Street, we make our way to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, home to London’s most famous Christmas festival. Filled with amusement rides, the spectacular ice rink reminiscent of those seen in Christmas movies, and souvenir stalls, this magical area offers us an unforgettable evening of free time under the guidance of our tour leader. At the end of this dreamlike evening, we return to our hotel.
London - Izmir - Antalya
After having breakfast at our hotel in the capital, we check out of our rooms at the end of our dreamlike journey through medieval villages and towns, surrounded by the sparkle of Christmas lights, all the way to the capital, London. We then head to the airport to take our seats on the plane for our flight back to İzmir. Following a comfortable flight, we arrive at İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport. Upon arrival, we collect our luggage and prepare for our flight to Antalya. After completing the check-in and baggage drop-off procedures once again, we take our flight on a SunExpress aircraft numbered [flight number] and arrive in Antalya. We say goodbye, looking forward to meeting again on our next tour program.
