    Our tour guide was excellent, very helpful and knowlegable but you need to be prepared to spend long periods of time travelling between destinations. The final itinerary differed from what was actually feasible, with early starts and insufficient free time upon reaching destinations.

    We started our tour on 14th, August,2024. In our team we were 12 members including our guide Censu and driver Hussain. Our team members were excellent, specially the guide, she was a nice beautiful lady fluent in English and easy to follow her accent. The overall experience of the tour was excellent though the programme was very tight and busy. Me and my wife Amena, would like to thank the organizers, guide and driver. I will recommend everybody to select TourRadar and DorakTour specially for Turkey tour. Thanks everybody Mohammed Abdullah and Amena KHATUN from Toronto,Canada

    We arrived at the SAW airport ,the pick up was on time and transport comfortable.Amazing experience from our tour guide Andy being very knowledgeable and fantastic! She was energetic and happy for the duration of the tour. I hope we get to have another tour with her again soon because she was a wonderful. I got to see beautiful parts of Turkey and some dreamlike landscapes as well as the “healing waters of Pamukkale” and the ruins of ancient Hierapolis, the fairy chimneys of Cappadocea, the historical church sites and more many attraction! Definitely worth the money. I give this tour a 10/10 recommendation! We have stunning pictures that will pictures will stay as good memories forever.

    Amazing journey back in time and back to my history books and my Homer! This is an eye opening experience, and ten days of wonder and amazement! The driver was great and what can I say about the guide ! A walking encyclopedia of Turkey. Transfers were so smooth, excellent communication and all the hotels were top notch! Apart from the Ancient stonework of the classic cities, the tour skillfully mixes with visits to modern Turkish attractions (l leave you to discover these) This is a trip worth doing, and I am tempted to do it all over again in winter.

    This tour was absolutely wonderful! Our guide Sinan had so much knowledge of Türkiye and taught us to love his country as much as he did. The stops on the tour were excellent and I really felt like we saw so much of the country. With all the food inclusions and the wonderful hotels, this tour was incredible value for money and an overall perfect trip.

    It was an outstanding tour. We are so glad that we choose dorak for our turkey trip. When we landed in Turkey, the driver did not pick up on time and we had to book a car to travel to the hotel. Yaren who is in operation team was so guilty for the inconvenience that she ensured to not only refund our money for the taxi but also covered the cost for the extra day that we stayed in Istanbul. We were really impressed by the gesture and really appreciate it. Coming to the tour part, the tour guide(Gonul Demirkol) was completely outstanding, in each of the spots she would tell us stories of what happened and made each and every activity fun. We really enjoyed her company and the best part was we were just a small group of 12 people and we got along quite well which made the trip more fun. We are glad that we got Gonul(GG) as our tour guide. She made the trip fabulous. Each and every day we would have a lunch or dinner that is included and the food places that was selected was just so fulfilling. Our tour guide would always ensure that we are always on the same page and enjoy what we are doing which we really appreciated. I also left my ear pods on one of the hotels, she herself ensured that it is posted back to the istanbul hotel. I was glad for this behaviour and was so pleased. The driver(Tolga) who dropped us off to the airport was infront of the hotel on time and he was there till the end. He dropped our luggages to the check in point in the airport. We really appreciate his amazing service. Overall, we are thankful to Dorak and we highly recommend Dorak cause honestly they are the best. Their service is totally outstanding and is completely worth it.

    Josep

    Asked on February 20th, 2025

    Can I arrange transfers from the airport to the hotel?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      Yes, roundtrip transfers can be arranged for your arrival and departure.

  • P

    Pauline

    Asked on February 18th, 2025

    Would you be able to pick me up at the airport at this time? The second question is if we can take part in this tour which begins on April 9. I notice that you do not actually start until after breakfast on April 10. My plan would be to get picked up at the airport after arriving at 4:40am, go to the hotel booked by your tour, check in to the room, refresh myself, then join the tour group for breakfast on April 10 morning. Is this possible?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      We can consider April 9 as the arrival day. The tour will start on April 10 in the morning when you meet the guide. We can arrange your airport transfer based on your arrival time, regardless of the hour. However, I would like to point out that the hotel reservation is from check-in on April 9 to check-out on April 10. When you arrive on April 10, your reservation will not be valid. Since it will be a new day, if you wish to stay at the hotel, you will need to pay an additional fee.

  • K

    Kevin

    Asked on February 4th, 2025

    Is it possible to do the hot air balloon ride in cappadocia?

    Tour Details
    • Dorak ToursOperatorWritten February 2025

      You can take a hot air balloon tour in Cappadocia, depending on the weather conditions. I see that the date you are interested in is in May. I expect the weather to be good in May, so I don't think there will be any issues with the balloon tours.
