What people love about Turkey Tours in March
- Premium Turkey in Depth (9 destinations)
This trip gave a great overview of Turkey. Fatih made the trip better with his passion, knowledge and knack of knowing just how much to deliver. Our group got on really well which enhanced the trip for me. It was helpful to take up Fatih’s restaurant suggestions. The only thing which would have increased my enjoyment would have been some high end food but I know I didn’t sign up for a food tour.
- Turkey Beauty Tour
The tour was very well planned, the guide was fantastic, and the itinerary was awesome. The Collosae was not a good hotel and should not be advertised as a "4-start accommodation." The hotel was old and dirty, everything was too expensive, and there was no wifi. These are expected to be top level of "4-start accommodations."
- 9 Days Highlights of Turkey Tour
This tour was incredible! I went with my sister, and we had the best time. The hotels were thoughtfully chosen to be close to town centres, so you could explore on your own in the evenings. The itineraries ensured we saw a lot of what each location had to offer while allowing plenty of time for side activities you’d like to do separately. We also had an incredible guide, Ali, and driver Mr. Orhan, both of whom made the whole trip extra special. And we got lucky with a great group of fellow travellers as well! Highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in spending some extra time in Turkey.
