- SCStacie· May 26th, 2025Our guide, Mustafa, made the entire trip for me. He is compassionate, knowledgeable, witty and beyond helpful. The tour itself is not for everyone, while you do see a lot more on this tour than others we had few opportunities or time to explore/see the actual towns we were staying in, very little downtime time and no real opportunity to engage with locals. This is not a holiday, it is a very fast paced tour, with lots of touristy stops, touristy food, and tourist hotels, if you want to see as much as possible in a short period of time it’s a good choice. Prices on the tour brochure are very outdated, everything was pricier than shown. Biggest complaint is all the entrances are to be paid in cash not credit card so if you don’t bring enough cash you’re stuck trying to find an ATM that will take your card, as not all will. It’s an unnecessary hassle and stress that travel talk should include in the tour overview so you can prepare to have enough cash before you leave your country.Show more
Travel Talk commented on this reviewHi Stacie, thank you for your detailed feedback. We're delighted to hear Mustafa made such a positive impact on your trip. We appreciate your honest comments regarding the pace of the tour, limited downtime, and the nature of the included meals and... Show moreTrip date: May 2025 - NFNICOLE· July 29th, 2024PROS: Overall good experience. Value for your money. Tour guide was very organised and considered everyone's needs. Everyone became like friends we knew a long time. Tour guide managed our expectations and was quite patient with the repeated questions. His location for meals was quite adequate. Con Found on just one occasion that the information shared by the tour guide was in contradiction with the signage at the site and even on google. Made me wonder how much of the historical stories were accurate accounts. Two persons got food poisioning from dinner at one of the hotels (the Troy one. Cant recall the name) The Turkish bath left a lot to be desired. Will rate that as BAD. Nothing about it was relaxing and the girls were continuously talking while they did the bath and massage. And the buckets and hose did not add to the experience. Simply poor. Another location should be explored to experience this.Show moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewHi Nicole, thank you for your kind review!

Kate· June 25th, 2023Some of the places we went to were great, others not so great. The tour guide was good and quite entertaining at times. Some of the accommodations were very good, others were not very good at all. Meals were similar, some were good, others not so good. I found the optional itinerary to be a little bit constricting and very limited.Show moreTrip date: June 2023- Kelly· October 13th, 2021Such an adventure!! I originally booked the gulet version of the tour, but it was switched to the land version due to small group size. No matter, it was still so much fun! And our guide Mustafa was so knowledgeable, helpful and just made the trip so special! Highly recommend!Show more
Trip date: September 2021 - Laura· July 22nd, 2019Our guide was fantastic- put in extra effort to make the trip worthwhile. Accommodation was mostly good (except one hotel); included meals were pretty repetitive however Mustafa had great recommendations; transport was great - really modern busses and friendly drivers; itinerary was good and we saw a lot, however 3 nights in Fethiye was a bit much - would have preferred an additional night in Kusadasi or Cappadocia. Overall would recommendShow moreTrip date: June 2019
- Aaron· August 17th, 2018I thoroughly enjoyed the Perseids meteor shower tour in Jordan. The standard of accommodation was excellent as was the transportation. There's a few things that could be improved on the tour including: - More better-priced food options. I was a bit tired of eating buffets everyday which meant I didn't have much appetite. The food options were also very expensive and I would have much preferred having options to purchase lighter and more affordable food. - There could be better communication on the tour as there was often confusion due to miscommunication. Setting up a group chat (vie Whatsapp etc.) would have helped. Also allows the group to share photos more easily However, what made the tour really enjoyable was our tour guide Mahmoud. He was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, entertaining and warm. His extensive knowledge of the sites visited made them much more interesting and his personality made the tour much more fun. I'm very glad we had him as a tour guide.Show moreTrip date: July 2018
