What people love about Turkey Tours in March
- Turkey Beauty Tour
The overall star is a mistake. It would be a good rating. We found some of the food and the accommodations under par and had to ask to have our room changed twice. The hotel in Istanbul was our very favourite! Sirkeci Mansion. The guides were great - lots of information. transportation was good but the itinerary laid out made for a few long days of driving and not a lot of sights - but that has to do with the geography of Turkey as well.
- 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.
- Fire of Anatolia Tour
Very well organized tour. I was lucky to be in a very small group (3 persons); it was almost a private tour. They honored all what they advertised; we visited all the sites mentioned in their brochure. Hotels were very good to excellent. Whenever we had any small problem the guide would intervene to solve it. I highly recommend this tour (in Turkey). I went to another tour with Fez in Greece and the Balkans, they deal with a local agency in Macedonia, it was much less well organized.
