- EBElizabeth· June 10th, 2025The tour was advertised as 'Small Group' max 16 people. There were 23 people on our tour! The optional tour in Antalya advertises a 'cable car trip to see Tunektepe'. It transpires the cableway has been closed for 2 years. Surely websites should be updated accordingly.Show more

Trip date: April 2024 - WWWendy· March 28th, 2024Overall, we enjoyed our 10 days tour in Turkiye and had a great time. It didn't feel very rushed and there was plenty of time to take photos, shop and rest during the trip. We also made close friends with the other tour group members. The tour guides were great and provided us with a great insight to the historical sites and Turkiye in general. The accommodations was good, especially the cave hotel in Cappadocia. The only issues we experienced during our trip was the lack of soundproofing in the hotel rooms. Despite Kusadasi's beautiful sea view from our hotel balcony, the next room's arguments and shouting from 1am to 530am on our second night there kept us up the whole night. The very next night in Antalya in the next hotel, we were sandwiched between a person talking really loudly on the phone and 2 men who decided to start arguing from 11 pm onwards. Calling the reception does not work and we had to call our guide at 12 midnight to get a room change so that we could catch some much needed rest. Our guide Barb and driver Matin are really good and we are really grateful to have them leading us for our tour. Turkiye is truly a wonderous place, where you could experienced so many UNESCO sites and we will visit Turkiye again, but the next time we will definitely remember to take earplugs along. ?Show moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for choosing our services.
