    Overall the tour was great and the tour guide very knowledgeable. The hotel in Pamukkale was a let down. A poorly managed hotel. The guide would have done well to remember that some of the group were quite old and not as agile or fast on their feet as others, and not relied on some of us on the tour to look out for those people while he was paying attention to the younger, single women in the group.

    It was great from the beginning to the end! Airport pick up, Tour guide Birden was excellent. Hotels accommodations including food were the best ones I stayed in with Globus. Just one Observtio: A lot of of us in the group would have liked to be able to ride the hot air ballon and the Gelata Tower was not included in the program. We covered a lot in 6 days.

    It's a great trip. I would add one day to Istanbul because it is hard to add the bazaar after visiting the three main things that day.

    Asked on April 25th, 2024

    We are looking at the option of booking a tour in Turkey in October this year, either the Turkey Escape or the Agean Inspirations Western Turkey Discovery tour. One of us has coeliacs disease and can only eat gluten free food. Can this be arranged? Also, the brochure for the Turkey Escape tour does not give any details about accommodation or dinners. Can you please advise what options are there for accommodation in that tour and if the dinners are included?
