    Great trip because of our tour guide Efe. Small issues prevented me from giving it five stars: —meet and greet at Istanbul airport not smooth. Had to wait 30 minutes for transport. —tour advertised a cable car ride to a mountain summit outside Antalya. That cable car has not operated in a year. —some of the lunch buffets were less than optimal. The sit down lunches were much better.

    What type of vehicle are we transported in while in Turkey? Are we part of a large group or just our small family group? When we board the ship, it appears to be a huge cruise line. Are we then still with our guide?

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      They are very close but we are looking for a tour that includes Istanbul, Gallipoli, Troy, Ephesus, Patmos (and Cappadocia preferably). It seems like a tall order to get them all in one trip :).

    Craig

    Asked on May 6th, 2024

    What rating (stars) will the hotels have? Can the diet offered accomodate a pregnant lady (no alcohol, cured/smoked/raw meats and fish, no cheese with moulds, no runny eggs, food generally cooked piping hot, etc)

    Accommodation
    Meals
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten May 2024

      The hotels that will be used for this service are based on 4-star or special-class boutique hotels. On some tours, lunch is set as a set menu, and on some tours, it is an open buffet. I think that if you remind your guides about your sensitivity regarding Diet during the tours, they will be able to help you. The breakfasts will be served at the hotels and I think they will help you if you inform the hotel reception about your diet sensitivities and the same goes for your cruise
