    A wonderful trip, extremely well planned!!! Thank you very much. Flights, transfers, hotels - everything worked out wonderfully. Guides were well chosen, friendly and especially in Cappadocia we were given a lot of interesting information. Just one request: perhaps send information about pick-up time, daily schedule, flight times and hotel names to the guests shortly beforehand. - With pleasure again, best regards, Elisabeth Bleicken

    I was traveling with my 17-year-old grandson. The trip was super organized, everything worked out excellently. The Recital Hotel in Istanbul had a good location in the old town. The rooms were big and clean. The hotel in Cappadocia was a cave hotel, uniquely beautiful. All pick-ups, whether from the airport or from the hotels, were on time and were done in a big new Mercedes. Our very big thanks go to Umut. He answered all my questions quickly and competently before the trip. During the trip, he looked after us excellently. I can really recommend TourRadar.
