About Us
Who are we?
We are specialist in customer-specific culture- and walking tours. Aura is aware of the fact that travelling is a personal experiance. That is why quality is the major topic in our travel business. Our duty is, to make a fascinating periphery fo the customer, so that his travel becomes an adventure.
What do we do?
Aura arranges tours under these basics: cultural, pilgrimage, hiking and city tours as well as tours with special interest backgrounds. For this, we create travel opportunities, where history and culture, past and present are incorporated in social and human perspectives. Thus when travelers leave Turkey, they can establish a deep relationship to the visited places.
What do we look out for?
We look out for details and stive to evaluate all travel routes from the perspective of the participants. Whenever the opportunity appears, we put in photo- and relaxation-breaks so that awesome vistas and interesting cultural details get integrated into the program. For us it is also important to establish a direct contact to the local people. Only this can make one from "seeing" to "understanding".
What do we attach importance to?
Aura attaches importance to the specific form of travelling. This is possible because we pay effort to give the guest a general view, so he gets the chance to experience Turkey. The mission we gave ourselves is to bring the traveler together with the future and presence, history and culture of the country.
