    Hi Umut, We just wanted to say thank you for an amazing trip! Everything was perfectly organised from start to finish. We were picked up from the airports in a very comfortable and luxurious vehicle, which was a great start to the tour. Communication throughout the trip was excellent — the local team stayed in touch via WhatsApp and made sure everything ran smoothly. Each tour guide we had was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. They really made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. The price was great for the quality of service we received. The hotel was good, and every detail was well taken care of. We had a wonderful time — truly one of the best tours we’ve ever been on. I can’t recommend this tour enough and would definitely book with you again!

    Turkiye is interesting, lively, full of history and beauty. Our guide Ketin Dogan was knowledgeable, communicating clearly and able to answer all questions. So enjoyed seeing St. Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Sultanahnet Imperial Mosque and Topakapi Palace and the Instanbul bazaar. Fascinating and wonderful. So glad I did not cancel trip.
