- SNStephen· October 20th, 2025The natural features of this tour were outstanding. The ancient ruins in Turkey were really fantastic to visit. The forests of Bolu also exceptional. Loved Cappadocia, Troy, Gallipoli, Bolu, Pammakule and Pergamon, Rumi Centre and Istanbul highlights. Harry our guide was fun and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure our tour was enjoyable and memorable.Show moreTrip date: September 2025
- RMRichard· October 3rd, 2025The itinerary was very well thought out. No complaints there.Our guide "Harry", who preferred that we use this nickname rather than his difficult to pronounce real name, was the highlight of our tour. He is a genuinely passionate and caring person. All of the group's needs were more than met by him. My only complaint is that the accommodations didn't quite measure up. Most of the hotels are in need of updates, and most were downright dirty. Also, no complaints about the provided meals.Show more

He shared his knowledge about the country's history, the different cultures and nature. He also told us many interesting side stories about Turkish traditions.

- TWTerence· May 7th, 2025The Wonders of Turkey holiday was great, but there were a few disappointments… The tour itself ticked all the boxes and went to all the amazing places we wanted to see. The transport was great - Ali was an excellent driver. The hotels were really good, though sometimes a bit isolated. The meals in the hotel were disappointing - a buffet every night. The hot food was barely warm and mushy. Fortunately there were lots of salad to fill up on. The tour guide was disappointing. On our first morning I explained to Uktu that my husband needed to buy a warm coat at the Grand Bazaar and asked if he could direct us to where we could purchase one (it was much colder than we expected). When we went to the Grand Bazaar Uktu told us all about gold, and then marched us straight through the bazaar. We didn’t stop anywhere! Uktu said it would warm up in a few days, and that the quality in the GB was poor. That night, in Bolu, it was snowing, and continued to be freezing for the next few days. The cooler weather affected my husband’s health when it didn’t need to if my simple request had been acted on. Whilst Uktu has a brilliant knowledge of his country, there were other instances where we felt disappointed in our dealings with him.Show moreDorak Tours commented on this reviewDear Terence, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us.

- Robin· April 28th, 2025The itinerary covered a good section of Turkey. I could have done without the visit to Ataturk's mausoleum, especially as the country is descending into autocracy. The antiquities museum in Ankara was outstanding though. The lunch stops where we had a choice of items was better than only a choice of a buffet. I liked the day off in Antalya. It was an interesting city, especially the Old Town area. The Cappadocia area was amazing, though we didn't get to do the balloon ride due to snow and wind. The ancient ruins sites were amazing. Utku, our guide, was very knowledgeable about each place, though sometimes I struggled with his word usage/order. I wonder if this is because he also speaks German. I appreciated the stop at Gallipoli, especially as we had two Australians in our group. I would recommend a dinner cruise the night you return. We took the funicular down to the shore from Taksim Square (use your credit card, about $1). Good entertainment, a nice look at the metropolis from the water, OK food. About $23 for the cruise.Show moreDorak Tours commented on this reviewDear Robin, Thank you very much for your detailed feedback.

- Cora· March 7th, 2025This tour was well organized and run smoothly by our seasoned tour guide Halil/Harry. The itinerary included all of the must see locations and sites that interested me, but each day brought a new surprise of wonder and beauty. Because there were only three of us on this adventurer were able to be somewhat flexible. The days started at a reasonable time and ended with time to relax.Show moreDorak Tours commented on this reviewHello Cora, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback!

- Donna· March 1st, 2025My friend (71F) and I (56F) have just returned home after the most amazing two weeks in Türkiye! We chose Dorak tours for my first ever guided tour based on the itinerary, the price and the excellent testimonials. At first we were nervous as nobody we knew in Austraia had heard of Dorak before and there was not a lot we could find online, except for the reviews on Tour Radar. But the communication from the head office was quick and very reassuring. Thanks again Sevval and Özge for answering all my questions and allaying my qualms! We chose to arrive in Istanbul two days early to acclimitise after nearly 30 hours of travel, and were greeted at the aiport by the very friendly and helpful Enes for our included airport transfers to our hotel. And what a hotel! It was in a great location in the Old City and of a much higher class than we expected. In fact, all our hotels were top quality and in great locations, frequently with a gorgeous view as an added bonus.The included buffet breakfasts and most dinners were extensive and delicious. Our guide Halil ('Harry') was exceptional and our driver, 'Apo', made us feel very safe. There was only one other person (75F) on our tour and Harry treated us like queens. We felt like we were a little family and so well looked after. Harry was very caring, very gentlemanly, offering his hand when sure footing was required. He was funny too and very knowledgeable about the places we visited and Turkish life, in general. He was also very flexible and accommodating to our wishes and specific preferences. The itinerary was fabulous, and while we covered a lot of ground, it was well paced with well thought out rest stops along the route. We were very glad to stay at least two nights in the important places. We felt sorry for other tour groups we saw rushing around and that missed out on all that we saw at our leisurely pace. It is also worth noting that for the price we paid (we got an earlybird discount), there is no way we could have seen and done all we did on our own for anything close to that cost. It was a real bargain. So many meals were included, all museum entry fees too, not to mention the transport costs and the wonderful hotels, and our own private guide. In short, we could not fault Dorak Tours and are so thankful we were lucky enough to score Harry as our guide. Türkiye stole our hearts :)Show moreDorak Tours commented on this reviewDear Donna, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing Dorak Tours!

Shirley
Asked on November 11th, 2025We are interested in your tour. We normally choose small group tours but we noticed this tour can be up to 35 people. What is your thoughts on the average tour size on November? Also, if there are less than 15 people does the tour go ahead? ie, is it guaranteed?
Dorak ToursOperator•Written November 2025Our capacity is 35 people, but we usually keep the group size smaller to ensure our guests' comfort. Unfortunately, November is a bit of a low season for us, so the number of participants tends to be smaller. For that reason, we're unable to operate tours with very few participants. If you're considering joining in September or October instead, I'd say there's about an 80% chance the tour will be guaranteed.

Asked on October 29th, 2025We have a couple of travellers interested in booking this adventure, however, they would like to know whether the optional excursions need to booked and paid for prior to departure or whether they can be arranged while on tour.
- Dorak ToursOperator•Written October 2025
They don't need to make any payments in advance. Once they arrive in Turkey, activities can be organized based on the cities they are in and availability, and they can make the payments then.

- Dorak ToursOperator•Written May 2025
We may receive last minute requests for large groups for our tours (10 people or more). For this reason, we do not close tour visibility. Unfortunately, the only request for the relevant tour was from you. We do not cancel our tours even if there is one more person, just for the sake of guest satisfaction.
