Hi Erkan,
Just to let you know that everything worked out impeccably with your organization in Turkey. The hotels, locations, local guided tours, foods, all transfers, air balloon, and free time ended up as a precise combination. All the hotels were very nice, very familiar, and we were very well received. The cave hotel’s room in Cappadocia was very interesting. Thanks for setting things up in the itinerary so fast.
Best Regards and Happy New Year.

That was a faultless excursion across the country, the team has done an appreciable job by co-ordinating different partners all together on time. There was no lag at any place for the tours and transfers. We would have been lost our way if we did the travel alone without a local tour guide. All the local tour guides were really supportive and knowledgeable. We wish to visit Turkey again soon.

Really enjoyed these tours of Turkey itinerary. So many amazing sights (Ephesus, Capadoccia, Pummalake) and very well organized. Tuna was in touch daily with updates to the itinerary. All internal flights were straightforward too. The optional Capadoccia hot air balloon ride will live in my memory forever! Our hotels were fine more 3* than 4* but the service and breakfasts were great. The lunches at the tours were fine too. We would have preferred if the hotel on the final day in Istanbul was in Taksim for the nightlife. Definitely, worth considering if you are looking for somewhere to have a holiday around.

It was my first package tour and a great experience. You meet lots of wonderful people in the program from all over the world. The program is packed with good sites and experienced guides that will give you great insights. Hotel accommodations were excellent but the food is average or that is linked to personal tastes. We had excellent English guides in the cities. They are a true lover of Turkish history and culture and will always give you the best info around sights.

We were on honeymoon in Turkey and booked this tour package. We liked it and it is by far the best tour we have ever done. We were picked up in time for the tours all the time. Our guides were absolutely lovely and very passionate about their jobs. We just made an amazing vacation in Turkey. Turkey is a huge country and wonderful nature and a very old history. we can highly recommend this tour company. That was a very professional and enjoyable company to book a tour in Turkey. Thank you, guys.
