- Viola· May 20th, 2024After a great research of the best for value tour in Turkey, I found out this one offered by Dorak tours. It had in interesting plan and good reviews, so even if I didn't know the company before, I finally decided to book it, also because of first good assistence of Mrs Betul from the local office. Then, with the high appreciated assistence also of Mrs Sevval from the office I was again convinced of my choise, but when the tour finally starts, I really could realize that it was above my expectations, thanks to all the staff. The organization of all is of a premium level, also the hotels quality, but what really has made difference where the other people with us, I mean the driver Mustafa and the unique tour guide Can Demir, that with his passion for his work make me love all the places I visited, that become even more special thanks his explanations and commitment. Pamukkale & Cappadocia that where my dream to visit from years, are really worth the trip, but also other places where really beatiful as Ephesus, Troy and Dardanelli, however don't forget the amazing stops also in the fascinating sea of Turquoise Coast. Istanbul is magic, but I really recommend all the sites offered by this tour, and if Your guide would be Mr Can D., You can be aware to gain the best view off all, with best quality and value for money.Show moreDorak Tours commented on this reviewDear Viola, Thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback !

Harry
Asked on October 22nd, 2024can you please advise how we will travel between cities and the duration of travel between the cities. I also wanted to know if we arrive a day or two before the tour can you/ do you arrange accomodation with the hotel, if this is the case are we still eligible for airport transfer to the hotel? What does your payment plans look like?
- Dorak ToursOperator•Written October 2024
Travel between cities will be by our tour vehicle. Depending on the number of participants, the vehicle may be a sprinter, minibus, or bus. The average travel time between cities is around 3 hours, except for the journey from Pamukkale to Cappadocia, which takes about 7 hours. After that, you will fly back to Istanbul from Cappadocia. Of course, you can arrive in Istanbul before the tour. Your airport transfer will be still eligible. We can make a reservation for you at the tour hotel or any other hotel you request. Payment will be made during check-in.

Tania
Asked on July 30th, 2024I am a solo female traveler who wants to go for 12-13 days to Turkey. I see the Wonders of Turkey and the Splendors of Turkey tours and they both look very nice. I have some questions I hope you can answer for me. What is the group size for these tours? Do you have any age restrictions - I would rather be with adult or teenagers and no small children. Do you help with transportation to and from the airport? Can you give the price of the tours with the single suppliment? I'm hoping to travel in March, April or May. Which time is the best for the weather and crowds?
- Dorak ToursOperator•Written July 2024
Our maximum group size is 35 pax. But we prefer to keep it under 20 for your comfort. We do not have any age restrictions. Because most of the time, adults prefer to visit with their children. We are providing a round trip transfer. The price for a single traveller is $2495 for March, April and May in 2025. I think April or May could be the best time for Turkey.

Tania
Traveler•Written July 2024Is the price (single) for the Splendors or Turkey and the Wonders of Turkey tour the same? Do you use 3, 4 or 5 star hotels? Is travel by bus or do you use public transit? Are the entrence fees included in the tour cost? Do you have any additional informaton about each of these tours available - maybe something that shows the travel times?
- Dorak ToursOperator•Written July 2024
Yes the price is same on that date. We are working with 4* hotels. But sometimes we can upgrade the hotels to 5* without any charge. We are using sprinters for 13 pax, midibuses for 27 pax and otobus for 44 pax. Not public transportation. All of them are private for the group.

Tania
Traveler•Written August 2024I notice that there are optional excursions available. Would these take the place of part of the guided tour or is there time to add these excursions without missing out on the rest of the tour?
- Dorak ToursOperator•Written August 2024
Optional excursions are scheduled to fit with the tour timings, so you can participate in them without missing out on the rest of the tour.

Tania
Traveler•Written August 2024Do you have any information about how much time is spent on the buses for each of the trips? Just curious about travel times, especially between Cannakkale and Istanbul.
- Dorak ToursOperator•Written August 2024
Bus journeys can be long in some sections, but it should not be an issue in our comfortable vehicles. For example, the drive from Istanbul to Çanakkale takes approximately 5 hours.
