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!

Asked on August 9th, 2025I am looking into this trip for myself. I really want to see the balloons in Cappadocia but I do not want to ride in one. On this trip can I go and see the balloons or do I have to ride in one? Can you see the balloons taking off from the hotel?
Guide of EphesusOperator•Written August 2025balloons are flying early in the morning if you dont want to ride with balloon unfortunately we dont have any option to watch them. only in the morning you can take a taxi and can go to the take of area to watch balloons. our hotels are not in take of area so you cannot watch the balloons from hotel.

Traveler•Written August 2025When I went to book, it was a upsetting surprise to see the price was not what was quoted! Nowhere in your information does it say the price is NOT for a single person. You do not give the option of sharing with a stranger. This information should be very clear in all your tour information - other company's include this important detail.
- Guide of EphesusOperator•Written August 2025
In all of our tours all important details are written and when you try to book the tour it doesnt allow room sharing. This is our company policy and we dont match any travelers in double rooms. For solo travelers they should book a single room. And single room has a single supplement.
