- PFPatricia· August 25th, 2025I loved this itinerary. A nice overview of Turkey. The hotel in the old city of Istanbul was in a perfect area. The hotel in Kusadasi was great…right on the water. All of the guides were great. So well educated & informed on the history of the areas. The communication via WhatsApp was fabulous.Show more
Trip date: August 2025 - JTJessica· July 2nd, 2025Hi 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!Show more
