Elizabeth –
My wife, my daughter, and I had the pleasure of taking the 4-day stunning Turkey tour to Ephesus, Pamukkale, and Cappadocia, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. From start to finish, the tour was well-organized, informative, and incredibly enjoyable. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke excellent English, making it easy for everyone in the group to understand the history and significance of each location we visited. The transportation was comfortable, and the accommodations were top-notch, with clean and comfortable rooms. The first two days were spent exploring the ancient city of Ephesus and the natural wonder of Pamukkale with ancient Hierapolis. Walking through the streets of Ephesus was like stepping back in time, with our guide providing fascinating insights into the history and culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans who once called it home. The highlight of the day was seeing the Library of Celsus, one of the most iconic structures in Ephesus. Pamukkale’s terraced hot springs and beautiful travertine formations were breathtaking, and we had the chance to take a dip in the warm pools, which was a truly unique and relaxing experience. The last two days were spent in the stunning region of Cappadocia, known for its unique geological formations and stunning landscapes. We explored the underground city, where we learned about the history of the early Christians who used the underground tunnels as a refuge from persecution. We also enjoyed a hot air balloon ride over the breathtaking landscape, which was a highlight of the trip. Overall, we highly recommend the 4-day stunning Turkey tour to Ephesus, Pamukkale, and Cappadocia. It’s an incredible way to see some of the most impressive historical and natural wonders of Turkey, all while enjoying the comfort and convenience of a well-organized tour. The tour was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget.
