    We travel quite a bit, but this was by far the most well-organized tour we’ve ever experienced. Umut’s attention to detail and prompt responses made our trip even more memorable and enjoyable. Every historical site, every location were carefully selected, giving us an unforgettable taste of Turkey. All the hotels were also thoughtfully chosen, offering great comfort and high-quality breakfasts. Overall- amazing !

    Joy

    Asked on August 23rd, 2024

    Do I book my international flight as soon as you confirm the booking? And how long do you take to confirm booking? It is possible that I arrive a day or 2 before the tour and make my own hotel booking in Istanbul and you pick up from the hotel in town?
