- AMelissa G.· November 21st, 2024I always pay attention to details like having free Wi-Fi and water on the buses, and hairdryers in the hotel rooms. Every little thing was thought of on this tour. The itinerary was a unique adventure, and I was truly satisfied. I felt sad when the tour ended, and if you're feeling that way at the end, it means the trip was amazing. Thanks to Eskapas and their friendly staff for an unforgettable experience!Show moreTrip date: August 2024Review collected by Eskapas
- AJordyn W.· November 21st, 2024Troy and Ephesus were my favorite historical sites, while Mykonos will always be remembered as a beach paradise. The guides felt more like friends—so warm and knowledgeable. Though the journeys were long, the new and comfortable vehicles made them bearable. I made the most of the free time, either exploring or simply relaxing on the beach loungers in Mykonos. Definitely worth the money! Eskapas passed the test, and I’ll be booking another tour with them next year for a new adventure.Show moreTrip date: June 2023Review collected by Eskapas
- ARoland O.· November 21st, 2024The only thing I wasn't happy about with this tour was that it had to end. I wish it could have lasted forever!Show moreTrip date: August 2024Review collected by Eskapas
- AMichael R.· November 21st, 2024The Great Odyssey tour exceeded all of my expectations. Everything went smoothly, and the program was well-organized and seamless. The people were friendly and always willing to help. Both Turkey and Greece are amazing countries. I feel incredibly lucky to have experienced this journey, and I'm so glad I made the decision to join this tour.Show moreTrip date: May 2024Review collected by Eskapas
- ASienna A.· November 21st, 2024The tour was quite exhausting, but we had plenty of time to relax during our free day on Mykonos. Istanbul is a massive city, and you’d probably need a separate trip just to explore it all (which I plan to do soon!). Ephesus is an incredible historical city, as is Athens. If you take this tour, I highly recommend doing a wine tasting in Cappadocia and experiencing the hot air balloon ride. As I wrap up my review, I’d like to send my regards to the wonderful guide, Mehmet, he truly made the trip special!Show moreTrip date: May 2024Review collected by Eskapas
- APoppy W.· November 21st, 2024The organization and coordination of this tour were outstanding, leading to complete satisfaction. The guides—Despina (our tour leader), Mehmet (in Turkey), and Eleni (in Athens)—were absolutely fantastic! The hotels and food were also very good. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Turkey and Greece!Show moreTrip date: April 2024Review collected by Eskapas
- ANico W.· November 21st, 2024We had an amazing time on our Turkey and Greece tour. Despina, our guide, made everything so much easier, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the experience. One of the highlights was visiting the stunning hot springs of Pamukkale—it’s a place like no other! If you're looking to explore local culture and historic landmarks, we highly recommend a tour like this one.Show moreTrip date: June 2024Review collected by Eskapas
- AMarcela T.· November 21st, 2024My husband and I had been dreaming of visiting Greece for years. Since we were flying all the way from New York, we decided to include Turkey in our trip, and we found this tour. We're so glad we did! We were both very happy with the experience. Both countries felt like paradise. We met wonderful people, loved the food, and felt comfortable in all the hotels. We highly recommend this tour!Show moreTrip date: March 2023Review collected by Eskapas
- ASabrina V.· November 21st, 2024The group was small, which was great because it made the experience feel more personal. The guides were excellent, speaking clear and understandable English, and were very knowledgeable about the region. The drivers were also highly skilled.Show moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by Eskapas
- AGiorgia B.· November 21st, 2024There’s a lot of traveling involved in this tour, which I should’ve expected given its length. I didn’t enjoy that part much, but I can’t complain since I got to see two countries. Overall, I’m happy with the experience. I would recommend it, just be prepared for the fast pace.Show moreTrip date: April 2023Review collected by Eskapas
