    + Overall, very well-organized arrangements by Mr. Senol Kumaz. + Good quality hotels selected. + Transfer vehicles, drivers, and transportation arrangements were well coordinated. + Daily communication with tour coordinator. + Tour coordinator very accessible and responsive in a timely manner. (-) Capadoccia tour was for 3 days; 2 days would have been adequate. (-) 3rd day in Capadoccia set aside as free day, but not required – it was a waste of time, more so because check-out from hotel had to be done early in the day, and then had to kill time for rest of the day outdoors. This could have been better organized. (-) Too many visits (some repeated by different tour guides) to handicrafts sales centres where excessive time was spent, and sales tactics from aggressive salespersons was annoying.

    This was a wonderful way to get to know more regional areas outside of Turkey. The balance of 3 days in Cappadocia, 1 day Pamakule and 1 day Ephesus was great. Cappadocia and Ephesus werr incredible. Pamakule is quite damaged as a site- it is polluted from being overrun by tourism. The way it works is that your own booking links up to other groups, so youre not on a tour with the same people all the time. It is that your own tour booking overlaps and links up with other groups. Which is fine. I appreciate the organiser had to do much coordination to make it work. Considering what we paid, this was a good thing. The quality of the hotels and food was great also. The sites in Cappadocia were truely fascinating and incredible- the fairy chimneys and underground cities were wow! The first day our shuttle bus was late to take us to our tour and we missed some. The tours involve going to shops to buy things which was not fun. The overnight bus from Goreme to Pamakule was exhausting and uncomfortable. There is alot of in between travel that adds many extra hours. Request to stay in Goreme rather than Urgup is better as Goreme is more lively and where all the action is. The tours are very cheap at each site to book yourself, as are flights and so on. But going through the tour group made it easier.

    We had a great time on this tour!! Everything was planned and executed perfectly, no hiccups. The tour coordinator stayed in constant contact with information and was always available for questions. The sights were incredible, definitely exceeded expectations. We will be doing similar tours in the future thanks to our great experience with this one.

    The entire tour that was booked went very smoothly considering the logistics behind it. The only reason it’s not a five star is because of the individual tours in a specific place which isn’t really tour radar or the travel agency’s fault. The hotels they booked were really nice.
