- SWShahron· May 19th, 2025Our guide (Aycan) and our two bus drivers were excellent. The tour itself was good but not excellent first problem was the blending of multiple itineraries into one group, so that the main group of 18 split up after about 5 days together, resulting in poor group bonding/cohesion. Second, some of the hotels were not up to part in terms of accommodation and food quality. Only two of the hotels - Legacy Ottoman Hotel in Istanbul and Hotel Greenland in Fethiye were as advertised. The rest were more like 3-star hotels with indifferent staff.Show more

Show moreTrip date: September 2023- (Z(Linda) Xun· August 26th, 2024The tour is ok but part of the itinerary definitely needs improvement. For example, day 2 we spent the whole day checking all different locations of tombstones along the coastline on our way to the next destination, they are all similar. We made like 6/7 stops, which can certainly be reduced to 2/3. Seems that our schedule was just stretched only to fill the day tour. It was very tiring to stay on the bus all day. We could have arrived at the hotel earlier and enjoy the facilities at the hotel. That’s one of the main reasons we booked this tour with 4/5 stars hotels. Also for 3days staying in Greenland hotel in Fethiye, the pool and gym closes at 6pm and opens at 8am. This doesn’t make sense as we have tour schedules during the day, it is impossible for us to enjoy any facilities at the hotel. Also, none of the entrance fees or activities are included, they are all optional, but they will make the stops anyways so be prepared to pay extra 500 -700 euros if you want all these activities with the tour.Show moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewDear Linda, thank you for taking the time to share your review.

- SSShannon· May 28th, 2024This tour is an absolute MUST for those who wish to see various parts of Turkey, since it includes the coast and inland Cappadocia. It included the perfect amount of beaches, history, and wildlife. Our tour guide Yilderay and our two drivers were absolutely fabulous! Keep in mind there is a fair amount of driving, so if you prefer flying - this tour may not be for you, but we loved it, as it allowed us time to go through photos and really get to know the other guests on the tour. My only advice would be for Travel Talk to keep up to date with the admissions pricing of the attractions and for all guests to bring cash (euro, pound, or lira) to cover those admissions (with the exception of the hot air balloon and paragliding). Many of the guests had issues getting cash in Istanbul and several folks had their cards eaten by ATMs. Other than that, the tour was absolutely fabulous - highly recommend!Show moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewHi Shannon, thank you for your kind review and sharing your wonderful photos!

Diana
Asked on October 15th, 2024Will we still qualify for the Best of Turkey by Land tour if I'll be 60 and my husband 67 years old next year? Is there a reason for the age limit. Is the tour very fast paced and strenuous hence the cut-off age at 59?
- Travel TalkOperator•Written October 2024
Our tours are a bit fast paced and include much walking, however if the passengers feel comfortable with the itinerary, we can be flexible with the age limit and confirm the booking for them.

Diana
Traveler•Written October 2024Could you please further clarify what you meant by fast pace and much walking? How many km a day on average are expected? Fast pace as in city walking on smooth terrain or are there going to walking on rough terrain and hiking expected?
- Travel TalkOperator•Written October 2024
On average, you might expect to walk 2-5 km per day, depending on the sites visited. While some areas have flat surfaces, others involve cobblestone streets, uneven paths, or slight inclines, particularly at ancient sites and in Cappadocia. We would like to clarify that all ages are welcome to join our amazing trips! While we don't have strict age restrictions, we do provide guidelines to ensure everyone's comfort. Passengers that falls out of this age group (18-59) and traveling alone may find it beneficial to consider booking a private room. However, since you are travelling with your partner, you may disregard this guideline and proceed with your booking as this guideline is recommended for solo travellers only.
