    Customer anxiety not friendly - since our first follow up we're consistently asking the devil (details), only after 3 days we're asked for complete identity/passport (lazy & lousy) Failed to provide adequate info - refer to voucher dated 10/03/2025, no airline, airport, meeting/drop off/boarding/arrival time, driver, phone, etc. (is it intentional or not processed?) Follow ups withheld - refuse to give the devil until we arrived in Istanbul by calling Mr. Umut 2 hours to respond. Should have booked near Airport not to wake up 2:30 am After-sale customer service - Tourradar was blind/deaf/silent throughout the conversation while Ephesus is unwilling/does not care Tour Guide at Cappadocia - preferred to stay with the Driver than her Guests. Talking being rich & owning hotel, travel agency, etc. instead of history, events or places. Main reason we did not avail the tour next day. At Ephesus - we appreciate the guide humbleness & did not left us all the way. No representative at Istanbul Domestic Airport - we walked all the exits inside & outside the building but no one showing our names. Another waste of money & time for public transport. At our age & experiences, we conclude that there are no perfect agent, operator, itinerary, guide, accommodation, transportation but Turkey is the worst, a guessing & confusing tour. Never again & not recommend to our relatives/friends who are suppose to book same.

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      How much is the optional hot air balloon ride?

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten October 2024

      Domestic and international terminals are in same building.

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten October 2024

      For Cappadocia hot air balloon flight we cannot give a definite price for now. Prices are changing up to the number of available days. If the balloons are flying daily the prices are about 250 dollars per person. If its not flying for 2-3 days the prices goes up to 400-450 dollars per person. So there is no stable price.

      Jason

      TravelerWritten March 2024

      Can we extend this tour for another day covering the Seven Churches of Revelation because we're already in Ephesus on the last day anyway…maybe, we can see two more churches on that day and four more the next day…is this a possibility? If it is, how much cost for the extension? We're 2 adults looking at April 26 onwards…We're leaving Istanbul on the 30th, that's why…

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten March 2024

      We can only add 2 more churches for the extension day because of distances (pergamon and smyrna churches). If you prefer skipping cappadocia we can organise 4 days seven churches tour for you. This is totally depends on your choice.
