Questions from partner agencies
Does this 5-day tour really cover all seven churches of Revelation?
Yes — the compact route reaches all seven: Ephesus, Smyrna (the Agora of Izmir), Pergamon, Thyatira (at Akhisar), Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea, alongside Hierapolis and the ruins of Troy. It is our shortest Revelation itinerary, built for groups who want the complete circle in a focused week rather than a longer program.
When is the best season to run the Seven Churches tour?
Spring and autumn are ideal for the Aegean sites — roughly March to early June and September to October bring mild days across Ephesus, Pergamon and Pamukkale. Many faith groups time it to the Lent and Easter window (January to March/April in the Western and Orthodox calendars) for pilgrimage significance, while September–October pairs comfortable weather with thinner crowds. The program runs year-round.
What group size does this program suit, and is there a minimum?
It is operated as a private tour, so it scales from small parish or family groups to full coaches. We typically confirm from around 2 pax upward; for larger pilgrimage groups we assign additional guides and vehicles as needed. Tell us your expected pax and we will size the vehicle and guiding accordingly.
Can you arrange Holy Mass and pilgrimage logistics along the route?
Yes — Holy Mass, prayer time and scripture readings at the church sites are arranged on request, coordinated with local churches and clergy where a celebrant is required. Share your group's preferences — denomination, timings, a travelling chaplain and any additional sites — and we build them into the day plan.
How much does the tour cost, and what does your net rate cover?
We quote net agency rates on application — there are no public prices, so you set your own retail margin. The rate covers 4 nights in 4–5★ hotels on half board, 4 lunches, all listed entrance fees, a private licensed guide and private transport throughout. International and domestic flights, personal expenses and tips are not included.
Do travellers need a visa for Türkiye?
Visa requirements depend on your clients' nationality; many travellers are visa-exempt or use the online e-Visa, while others apply in advance. We are a licensed DMC, not a visa authority, so please have your clients confirm the current rules for their passports before travel — we are happy to provide an invitation or confirmation letter for the booking.
Is there a single supplement for solo travellers in a group?
Yes — hotel rates are based on double or twin occupancy, so a single supplement applies for guests who need their own room. We set the supplement out in the net rate breakdown we send with your quote, so you can price singles cleanly for your clients.
