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 BleickenShow more
Guide of Ephesus commented on this reviewDear Elisabeth Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and for choosing to travel with us! We're truly grateful you took the time to share your experience. It means the world to us to know that the journey we curated left a meaningful impression... Show moreTrip date: July 2024 - ASAnna Aloisia· May 27th, 2024I 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.Show moreGuide of Ephesus commented on this reviewDear Anna Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and for choosing to travel with us!
