- MGMarita· March 13th, 2025This is not a tour with a set group but more a solo itinerary where you join up with people doing day trips to the same destinations each day. I had no problem with that; for two days there was just me and one other, and on one day just me. Very good guides on all days - friendly, knowledgeable, flexible with time where necessary but still keeping on time. A couple of repetitive shopping opportunities when I would have preferred visiting actual sights. Well organised with clear instructions on what would be happening each day. I travelled in late Feb; snowy in Istanbul the first two days but then clear and bright so a good time to go if you want to avoid the crowds! And Türkiye itself was indescribably wonderful.Show moreTrip date: February 2025
- AYAizza· January 30th, 2025We previously had a private tour in another country with a different tour company that underwhelmed us. This group tour was exactly what we were expecting that tour to be! We got picked up at the airport or at the hotel and brought where we needed to go. The tour guides met us at the sites or at our hotel and we didn’t have to figure our way out to get to a meeting place. The drives to the different location can be long. Longest being the one to Cappadochia but the vehicle they provided were comfortable. The meals were monotonous but they were included so no complaints. Our only complaint really was that the flight booked for us from Cappadochia back to IstanbulShow moreTrip date: January 2025

- JFJane· October 5th, 2024It was not what we expected. In past tours in other countries we had a guide who stayed with our group the entire time. In this tour we never saw the same guide or driver twice which was fine because three of us were travelling together but in the past many of our tour companions were travelling solo and that would be difficult navigating the system alone. We met one lady who was very upset travelling alone to find no constant companions. Perhaps be more clear about how the tour works. Also our tour group was not to exceed 8 yet most of the time we had 12 or more travelling together. Perhaps the tour company could be more up front with the tour sizes. Our guides were excellent, all very knowledgeable and patient except for the guide at pergamon who was disheveled, uninterested, political and disjointed when he spoke. Buses were always on time and the drivers were professional! Everything ran very smoothly on getting us to where we had to go!Show moreTrip date: October 2024
