- SVSamuel· October 11th, 2024This tour was very stressful and unhappy for us. The tour operator was disorganized and the itinerary was incomplete. In fact the operator initially canceled the trip because there weren’t enough people a few months after the initial booking and later put it back on. We could have lost airfare. During the tour, we had to call the tour operator a few times in the middle of the trip to make arrangements that were missing. We had a few gaps; a full day with unplanned free time and another half day with nothing to do which they remedied after our insistence. So, it was an experience we don’t want to see others going through. The part of the tour handled directly by the tour operator was disorganized and somewhat chaotic. But the parts handled by the other local parters in Athens, Istanbul and Cappadocia went smoothly, It is also a poor reflection of TourRadar promoting tours that are potentially unpleasant for customers like us who expect a good vacation experience.Show more

Traveler•Written June 2024Is the 8 days best of Greece and Turkey a private tour or with other people? And is the higher price because of flights or because it is private?
- AjdinisOperator•Written June 2024
Yes, this tour will be with a different operator. It is a private tour, so it would just be the 3 of you.

Asked on April 29th, 2024please confirm what time does the tour starts on May 27th and what time it finishes on June 5th thus I can see about arranging my international flight accordingly
- AjdinisOperator•Written April 2024
On the first day, it's your arrival day, so you can arrive at your convenience. You can either arrange your own transfer to the hotel or let us know if you'd like us to arrange it for you. On the last day, after breakfast, you'll check out, marking the end of the tour.

Vicki
Traveler•Written April 2024What is the added fee? What time does the tour start Monday? I'm wanting to go to Cyprus before so need to know when to arrive on Monday Sept 30?
- AjdinisOperator•Written April 2024
The single price is €2,924. The tour starts on Monday, September 30th, but the first day is free for you to organize your transfer to the hotel and enjoy free time in Athens. Therefore, your arrival time on the first day doesn't matter, as you'll have the entire day in Athens. We will then brief you for the tour activities on the following days.

Asked on March 6th, 2024Is there an available single supplement? I do not want to share a room. What is the group size and age range?
- AjdinisOperator•Written March 2024
When selecting your date, you'll find the price for a single supplement under "Select Accommodation." Scroll down to find the cost for a private room for singles. There's no age limitation; we only ask that you're comfortable for travel and have your travel insurance. Our average group size is 6.
