    We had a wonderful experience with Tour Radar who arranged our 8 days Ephesus Tour in Turkey! The tour guides, drivers and the organizers were very efficient, courteous and friendly. Mr Umut Kurt arranged our itinerary with his team namely Uktu, Yesra Altas and Benjamin who were very knowledgeable and professional.

    We had an amazing time and journey. Umut and team were wonderful and responsive, the tour guides we had in all 3 cities were experienced and knowledgeable, the transportations and drivers were excellent throughout. We paid the private tour supplement which was very reasonable and recommended for those who enjoys such. The standard class hotel in Istanbul was perfectly located and very comfortable. We upgraded hotels in Kusadasi and Cappadocia and again very recommended for the price difference - both the Charisma Deluxe and Mithra Cave hotels had great views and rooms. Also would suggest adding the Cappadocia Green Tour which we did and enjoyed. Umut and team were also very accommodating with domestic flights and worked around our preferences. Overall highly recommend Guide of Ephesus, this tour and Umut and his team for your upcoming travels in Turkey.

    Can I please get a room with someone of the same gender? If there are places that require an entry fee, can I choose not to enter if I don't want to? I would like to book the hot air balloon ride by myself. Also, for paragliding, I would prefer to book it on the spot if a female trainer is available. Is that possible? Will the guide pick me up and drop me off every day during the trip? Also, since I am a student, is there any student discount available?

    can you tell us how much the dawn hot air balloon flights will cost?

We recommend balloon bookings to Turkey during the tour if we will agree about price here we can book it here.
