Destination Services Turkey commented on this reviewDear Maria, we are glad you enjoyed your Turkish Delight trip. Thank you so much for the positive feedback, especially about our guides. There is a saying here 'Come as a stranger, go as a friend' - we hope you have become a new friend of Turkey and... Show moreTrip date: March 2023 - elka· September 23rd, 2022The Turkish Delight itinerary was great. What ruined it, it was the tour guide Sardar, who did not follow it. He was very prejudiced, self centered, and could not wait to get out of his tour duty so he can drink tea with single ladies on the tour. He was complaining about tourist from India, when 80% of our bus was filled by people from there who technically were paying his paycheck. He didn’t listen to what we wanted, and constantly talked about his previous experiences, rather than explaining the culture, history, and interesting facts about Turkey. In Cappadocia he intentionally “lost” all of the Christian travelers who were asking to see a church on a route, at the most important site for Christians. He took us to more shopping places were he got commissions and gifts, instead of taking us to the places listed on our itinerary. Also, hotels were not in the best areas. The one in Istanbul should have been in the old city, near the Mosque, in a walking distance from the fun, and not so far. In Kusadassi hotel was away from the hotel zone on the end where the beach was all pebbles and not sand. In Antalya, he put himself and the single ladies in a nice hotel. Our hotel room was so small that we cannot even move the luggage. In Cappadocia, the hotel should have been a cave hotel in the city, and not far away in the middle of nowhere.Show moreDestination Services Turkey commented on this reviewDear Elka, thank you for your review, all feedback is important to us and we are sorry that you had such a disappointing experience.

Asked on November 29th, 2022We'd love to do the dinner cruise on the Bosphorus, but is April too cold? Or is the show inside? Or is there another option for an indoor show? Will there be vegetarian food? We are vegetarians so it's important that we can eat throughout the trip.

Audrey
Traveler•Written November 2022We are looking at booking for April and I have a few more questions about the hot air ballooning. Would it be possible to schedule the hot air balloon for the last day? April 17?
- Destination Services TurkeyOperator•Written November 2022
Bosphorus Cruise - show is inside on the boat. Turkish cuisine offers a huge range of vegetarian food but I have to check in detail with our operation team. BBQ and fish dishes at the coast are famous and popular as well but the offer of vegetables and fruits and mezzeler is very good.
- Destination Services TurkeyOperator•Written November 2022
The hot air balloon in Cappadocia can also be done on the last day but depending on your departure details.

Asked on May 9th, 2022We are an older couple (60 and 57 years old) and would like to do a round trip through Turkey and especially see Cappadocia and Pamukkale. Is this trip available? Can you make me an offer on this trip?
- Destination Services TurkeyOperator•Written May 2022
All three tours (Turkish Delight, Special Turkey and Wonderful Turkey) are available. The 'Wonderful Turkey' Tour includes less road trips by bus if your guests prefer less bus driving - although the turkish landscape is also very varied. On all tours visits of Pamukkale and Cappadocia, two of the absolute must-see spots are included.
