    Memo was an excellent guide during the visit to North and South Cappadocia. I had been looking forward to seeing the fairy chimneys, but the whole landscape was amazing. I enjoyed having time to hike around the cave houses and was satisfied with the amount of time we had to take photos. Our next tour guide, Marve, was equally impressive. Her knowledge of the history of Ephesus really added value to the tour. My most memorable part of this tour was seeing the thermal pools and spending time seeing the amphitheater in Hierapolis.

    Excellent tour. Excellent arrangements. Excellent food. Excellent tour guides. Senol, our tour coordinator was outstanding. Very caring, very responsive, available virtually 24/7, and very helpful no matter what the situation. We could not expect so much care from anyone. Simply awesome. We enjoyed the tour thoroughly. Just a few observations and suggestions to improve the tour experience further. At the Istanbul hotel, Avicenna, our room on the first day was the smallest imaginable, with no space to put luggage or move around. Even the shower cubicle was so tiny that it was hard to get in and out and move arms and body inside to take shower. Certain hotel staff members (not all) were also discourteous, rather arrogant, both at the time of check-in and also later when we called the hotel to make certain enquiries. The staff members at the reception at the time of check-in were also more interested in selling a Bosphorus cruise to us rather than talking or listening to us. Our next morning pick up was at 3.30am. We requested the hotel staff for sandwiches, one vegetarian, as we were going to miss breakfast, but we found later that both of our sandwiches were non-vegetarian. So, one of us could not have anything for breakfast. Once we left Istanbul, our tour experience was very good. The tour itinerary was well balanced, the hotels were very good, the pick-ups were on time, and the tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. Every day we were with different sets of tourists from apparently other tour programmes. As a result, we had a repeat of two events – leather jackets and gemstones. We would have rather liked to have something else included in our itinerary. On return to Istanbul on the last day, we requested Senol to arrange a somewhat bigger room for us so that we could at least rearrange our luggage. Senol was again very helpful and arranged a bigger room for us. Again, the awesome Senol. Tourists, who had stayed in other hotels in Istanbul, told us that they were very pleased with their hotels. As a final suggestion, please avoid Avicenna from your tour programmes if possible. Overall, excellent tour, excellent coordination, excellent care.

    I had a great 7 day tour. Senol was in contact with me daily to ensure I had the pick up details for each day and the pick ups were always on time. All of the guides were very good and the hotels were good quality with great locations. My only suggestion would have been to fly to Cappadocia the first day rather than having to get up so early on the second day to meet up with the tour in the morning. A 4:00 am pickup is never a good way to start the day.

    This is an excellent and well organized tour. The places we visited were amazing, we learned a lot of history thanks to our guides who were knowledgeable and engaging, special shout-out to Mr. Ismael and Mr. Ali. Our hotels had great locations and were clean, modern. Our transfers between airports and hotels were on time.Our point of contact, Mr. Senol was terrific and meticulous in making sure all the important details for our trip were communicated to us ahead of time. He was also highly responsive to any additional questions and requests we had. Some things to consider on your trip: If you're traveling with elderly folks, like we were, you may want to prepare them as some flights might be very early in the morning. Places like Ephesus, they may have long walks but the guides are very accommodating and your folks can sit and enjoy the view while you continue with the tour. Travel light, if you can, if you want to buy local goods, and trust us, you will, you can always buy luggage at a local store and the Turkish Airlines folks are great about checking in all your luggage. In addition to visiting historical sites, you will get an opportunity to visit local shops that make leather, jewelry, carpet...etc, (you are under no obligation to buy anything) you'll learn more about the products and how they're made, e.g. we had an interesting lesson on the history of carpet making at the Yuksel Carpet shop by Mr. Gursat. If you plan on picking up some jewelry, authentic Turkish carpet, leather jackets, handmade pottery...etc... go prepared:-) If you can, add a day or two at Istanbul after your finish your tour, there is a lot to see, its a beautiful city with lots of history and great food. You can do a self tour or you can ask Mr. Senol to make the additional arrangements for you including accommodations and a private tour.

    Turkish tours- was excellent. It was recommended by TOURRADAR. I’m glad I took this tour. Tour organizer Senol was on top of everything. Once I booked for this tour, I really didn’t need to worry about anything. While on the tour, he was checking and making sure everything is going as planned. I traveled with my son, visited all beautiful places, historic sites very well. I highly recommend this tour for everyone who wants to see different parts of Turkey.
