Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Tours

How do I book a tour with Go Epic Tours?

​

You can begin by submitting an enquiry through our Contact page or by reaching out to us directly. Once we receive your request, we follow up to understand your destination, dates, travel style, budget, hotel preferences, pace, and any special interests. From there, we help design or refine your itinerary and guide you through the next steps to confirm your booking.

​

​

Do you design custom trips from scratch?

Yes. Many of our journeys are designed from scratch around your dates, interests, comfort level, and travel style. You can start with one of our sample tours or simply tell us where you want to go. We then help shape the route, timing, hotels, transfers, guides, and experiences into a complete travel plan.

​

​

What does “you bring the passport” mean?

​

It means we aim to make the planning process easier for you. You bring your passport, travel dates, wish list, and personal preferences. We help coordinate the itinerary design, accommodations, transfers, guides, local experiences, domestic or regional travel where applicable, and destination support so the journey feels organized from start to finish.

​

​

Do you offer private tours or small-group tours?

​

Yes. Go Epic Tours specializes in private and tailor-made journeys, with select small-group tours available depending on the destination and season. Private tours allow more flexibility, comfort, and personalization, while small-group options can work well for travelers who prefer a shared experience with guided support.

​

​

Can I customize the itinerary, hotels, or pace?

​

Yes. Our itineraries can be customized based on your preferred pace, hotel category, room style, travel dates, budget, interests, and comfort level. Whether you want a relaxed family trip, a luxury escape, a faith-based journey, a cultural route, or a scenic Canada itinerary, we can adjust the plan around your needs.

​

​

Are your tours fully guided?

​

Many of our tours include professional local guides for key sightseeing days, cultural visits, historical sites, and destination experiences. Some itineraries may also include free time for rest, independent exploring, resort stays, or flexible evenings. We design the level of guiding based on the destination, your travel style, and the itinerary.

​

​

What destinations do you specialize in?

​

We design custom tours across Turkey, Greece, and Canada. Our Turkey journeys may include Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, Pamukkale, Antalya, Bodrum, Fethiye, Kusadasi, Gallipoli, and Pergamon. Our Greece journeys may include Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Delphi, Rhodes, and Crete. Our Canada journeys may include Edmonton, Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise, the Columbia Icefield, the Alberta Rockies, Kelowna, Vancouver, and Victoria & Vancouver Island.

​

​

Do you create Turkey and Greece combination tours?

​

Yes. Turkey and Greece combinations are one of our important travel styles. We can help connect Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, Kusadasi, Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, or other destinations into one smooth Mediterranean itinerary, depending on flights, ferries, season, timing, and your preferred pace.

​

​

Do you offer Canada and Western Canada tours?

​

Yes. We design private Canada and Western Canada journeys, especially across Alberta and British Columbia. These can include Edmonton, Jasper, Banff, Lake Louise, the Columbia Icefield, Kelowna, Vancouver, Victoria, and Vancouver Island. Canada tours can be designed as private scenic routes, family trips, city-and-nature combinations, or longer Western Canada itineraries.

​

​

Do you offer faith-based or biblical tours?

​

Yes. Faith-based travel is an important part of what we do. We design Christian and biblical heritage journeys across Turkey and Greece, including routes inspired by the Seven Churches of Asia Minor, early Christianity, St. Paul connections, Ephesus, Patmos-style extensions where applicable, and other historically meaningful sites. These itineraries are planned with thoughtful pacing, cultural respect, and historical context.

​

​

Do you offer family tours?

​

Yes. We design family-friendly journeys with comfortable pacing, private transfers, carefully selected hotels, age-appropriate activities, and realistic travel timing. Family trips may include Turkey and Greece cultural routes, beach extensions, island stays, resort options, or Canada scenic routes through the Rockies and Western Canada.

​

​

Do you offer luxury or boutique travel?

​

Yes. We can design luxury and boutique journeys with upgraded hotels, private transfers, premium room categories, slower pacing, special dining, private guiding, resort stays, yacht or boat experiences where available, and carefully selected local experiences. Luxury does not have to mean rushed or overplanned; we focus on comfort, flow, and meaningful travel design.

​

​

What is usually included in your tour packages?

​

Inclusions depend on the itinerary, but many packages may include accommodations, airport transfers, private or shared ground transportation, licensed local guides, planned sightseeing, selected entrance fees, domestic or regional transportation where applicable, and itinerary support. Each proposal clearly explains what is included and what is not included before booking.

​

​

Are international flights included?

​

International flights are usually not included in our land tour packages unless clearly stated. However, we can help review routing, timing, and connection flow so your flights match the itinerary properly. Domestic or regional flights within Turkey, Greece, or Canada may be included depending on the package.

​

​

Do you arrange airport transfers?

​

Yes. Airport-to-airport planning is one of our key service promises. Depending on the itinerary, we can help coordinate arrival transfers, departure transfers, intercity transportation, domestic flight connections, ferry timing, private drivers, and local transfer support so your trip feels smoother and more connected.

​

​

How does payment work?

​

A deposit is usually required to confirm your booking, with the remaining balance due according to the payment schedule provided in your proposal. We accept common payment methods such as credit cards, bank transfers, and e-transfers where applicable. Payment timelines, cancellation terms, and package conditions are clearly outlined before confirmation.

​

​

Do I need travel insurance?

​

We strongly recommend travel insurance for all travelers. Insurance can help protect against unexpected situations such as medical needs, trip interruption, cancellation issues, baggage problems, or travel delays. Travelers are responsible for selecting and purchasing the coverage that fits their needs.

​

​

Do I need a visa or travel authorization?

​

Visa and travel authorization requirements depend on your nationality, passport, destination, transit points, and travel dates. We are not a legal immigration or visa advisory service, so travelers are responsible for checking official government requirements and securing any required visas or authorizations before departure. We can help remind you to review the correct requirements based on your itinerary.

​

​

What should I pack for my trip?

​

Packing depends on your destination, season, hotel style, and planned activities. Once your trip is confirmed, we can provide practical packing guidance based on your itinerary. A Turkey and Greece summer journey may require different preparation than a Canada Rockies route, a faith-based cultural tour, or a winter mountain trip.

​

​

Can you help if I already know the destinations I want?

​

Yes. If you already know your preferred destinations, we can help turn your ideas into a realistic route. We look at travel time, hotel flow, transfers, seasonality, sightseeing order, rest days, and comfort level so the itinerary works smoothly instead of feeling rushed.

​

​

Can you help if I do not know where to go yet?

​

Yes. You can tell us your travel dates, budget range, interests, and preferred style, and we can suggest suitable destinations. For example, we may recommend Turkey and Greece for culture, islands, faith-based history, and Mediterranean travel, or Canada for mountain scenery, family trips, nature, and Western Canada road-style itineraries.

​

​

What makes Go Epic Tours different?

​

Go Epic Tours focuses on personalized travel design, direct destination coordination, local insight, flexible pacing, and end-to-end planning support. Instead of selling only fixed templates, we help shape each journey around the traveler. Our goal is to make your trip feel seamless, personal, and carefully supported from the first planning conversation to the final transfer.

​

​

How do I start planning?

​

The easiest way is to send us your destination ideas, dates, number of travelers, budget range, and travel style. If you are not sure yet, that is okay too. Share what kind of experience you want, and our team will help guide you toward a custom Turkey, Greece, Canada, or multi-country journey.
