    This was a great itinerary and the value for money was insane! I would totally recommend this. The only frustrating bit is the mandatory single traveler supplement

    · April 28th, 2025
    It’s a good trip though the Best of Turkey side was really full of activities and felt rushed once we left Istanbul. Even though we spent a night in the capital Ankara, it felt as though we were never really there. Once we got to Capadocia it was like a totally different world, same with Pamukkale, beautiful parts and probably the best two regions in the trip, though the experience left me wishing we have spent more time in them. Greece half of the trip was a complete change of pace which was nice. All in All a good trip if you want to see highlights of Turkey without minding the fast pace with a laid back experience thru the Greek isles and in Athens.

    This tour gave me exactly the escape I was hoping for. I enjoyed each location, knowing all the details were handled. Ali’s friendly presence made travel easy, and Ayse added so much with her insights and warmth. It’s a trip I’ll remember fondly!

    I joined this tour based on a friend’s recommendation, they’d talked about it for months. So I figured it was worth a try. I’m glad I did because the experience was fantastic. The guide was friendly and knew so much about each stop, making it easy to connect with the places we visited. The accommodations were comfortable and the group size felt just right for a relaxed atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Turkey and Greece fully.

    This tour offered a perfect blend of culture, nature, and relaxation. Pamukkale’s white terraces were a favorite, with such a peaceful atmosphere and stunning views. The small group size made the experience feel personal, allowing us to connect with each other easily. The local meals were a treat as well, introducing us to authentic dishes in every region. Everything was well-organized, which made the whole trip feel smooth and enjoyable.

    I was especially taken with Cappadocia; seeing the rock formations and valleys up close was something else. The place had a calm, almost surreal vibe that made it stand out from the rest. The rest of the itinerary was just as impressive, each stop bringing its own character and charm. The accommodations were comfortable and perfectly located and the group size was just right for getting to know everyone without feeling crowded. The guides were knowledgeable and easy to talk to, making every stop feel more meaningful.

    The tour covered some incredible places, with each stop offering something unique. Our guide was friendly and full of interesting facts, I’ll never forget when, during a break, he taught us a few words in Turkish, which became our little group’s inside joke for the rest of the trip. The group size was also perfect; it was easy to connect with others without feeling crowded.
