    We travel quite a bit, but this was by far the most well-organized tour we’ve ever experienced. Umut’s attention to detail and prompt responses made our trip even more memorable and enjoyable. Every historical site, every location were carefully selected, giving us an unforgettable taste of Turkey. All the hotels were also thoughtfully chosen, offering great comfort and high-quality breakfasts. Overall- amazing !

    I enjoyed the experience and tours both from the first day to the last in Cappadocia , highest point for me is the Ephesus tour and Cappadocia tour , but I wish to stay there for a bit longer and a bit disappointed for the hot air ballon ( I blamed it with the weather ) Kusadasi accommodations is top notch . And thankful for the transportation to airport , not all travel agancy can provide that . All in all my tour in Turkey was good . Highly recommended tour .

    We had a great trip Thank you Umut Kurt. Pre trip. The booking process was as easy as over the counter and all our requests were accommodated. We were informed I detail of every step over WhatsApp and received updates on who was going to pick us up on each day. Arrival. We were greeted at the airport and a private transfer organised to our hotel. The next day our guide picked us up from the hotel and rest is just memorable trip. Every single aspect has been planned and catered for. We were given good advice on shopping areas, who to avoid and where to eat etc. The shops we were taken to were of high quality. Obviously we had all the choice but I felt their recommended shops were genuine too. Overall an amazing trip. I will definitely use Tour Radar again.

    This 8-day adventure through Turkey with Ephesus Travel was a fantastic experience! The itinerary was well thought out, covering Istanbul, Kusadasi, and the stunning landscapes of Cappadocia. From start to finish, everything was organized smoothly. All domestic flights were coordinated, and we were met by friendly drivers at each airport who took us directly to our hotels. The accommodations were sufficient and comfortable, and while they weren’t overly luxurious, they provided everything we needed after long, fulfilling days of exploration. What really made the trip memorable were the knowledgeable and passionate tour guides — they brought each historical site to life and gave us plenty of insight into Turkish culture and history. One thing to note: some of the optional excursions can be on the pricier side. However, the flexibility to skip certain activities and go at your own pace was a huge plus. It allowed us to tailor the experience to our interests without feeling rushed. Overall, Ephesus Travel did a great job managing all the logistics, and we felt well taken care of throughout the journey. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Turkey’s rich history and natural beauty with ease and confidence!

Additionally, we would love to include a visit to the beach in the itinerary on one of the days, is this possible? We are looking to depart on August 6th and would appreciate it if you could let us know how many other people have already booked for that date. Also, can the airport transfer be from Sabiha Istanbul airport? Lastly, could you please confirm whether the Bosphorus cruise is included in the trip price?

      We dont have a room sharing policy so that means the room that you booked is private for you and you will not share it anyone else. In Kusadasi our hotel is just next to the sea. And after tour you will have free time to go to the beach. Our tours are ending around 4 pm and sunset time here in Kusadasi is 9 pm you will have enough time. For 6 August we have 4 more people now and our groups are not bigger than 10 people. Yes we do transfers from both airports in Istanbul. Bosphorus cruise is included in itinerary but boat tickets not included. Its per person 250 liras or 6 dollars approx.
