- Georgia· October 2nd, 2025We had a wonderful experience! The Hotel in Istambul (Recital Park) was well located and VERY nice, the staff was welcoming and the breakfast was delicious. The Hotel in Kusadasi was well located and had a fabulous view, but a bit weird and had a damp/mold issue that should be addressed. The Hotel in Urgup was lovely, although a bit awkward to reach with your bags since the street is too narrow for cars. The tour guides were absolutely fabulous, Bunyamin in Istambul, Ismail in Kusadasi/Efesus/Pamukkale, and Said in Cappadocia. All of them were incredibly knowledgeable, patient and gracious. The food was good and healthy at most meals. Turkey was beautiful, safe, clean and our exeperince with the tour operator was very positive. The itinerary was very well thought out. Thank you for such a lovely travel experience.Show more
- Janelle· October 1st, 2025Overall a great experience. So many special places to visit. I was unlucky to not see Pamukkale in all its glory as we found out the water is only released 4 times a year tp fill all the terraces. So we only saw the top 4-5 terraces with water in them. We were also unfortunate to have our balloon flights cancelled in Capadoccia due to weather both mornings we were there, but we cant help that. Still loved seeing the rock formations, fairy chimneysShow more
- Patricia· September 29th, 2025Great organization. Transfers where great and on time, hotels were comfortable, guides were informative and personable.Show more

Asked on September 22nd, 2025Is it possible to extend our hotel stay in Istanbul at end of tour, and how would we do that. Also does the tour have space, and could we book our own balloon flight as the quoted price seems high for a trip in November.

Asked on September 21st, 2025If I choose the 5* upgrade, will I not need to add the luggage weight option for 20kgs in the booking anymore? Can you give an indication of start and end time for each day tour? The itinerary always says "after breakfast" but I would like to get a more specific time as breakfast times can be anywhere from 6am to 11am. I also want to get an idea how much free time I have outside of the tour, to do other things. Can I add any optional excursions later on, after booking?
- Guide of EphesusOperator•Written September 2025
When you booked 5 stars hotel upgrade package luggage allowance is 20 kg. Istanbul tours starts between 8:30-9:00 am, ends 3-3:30 pm. Pamukkale tours starts between 07:20-08:00 am up to the hotel location of other members, ends between 6-7 pm. Ephesus tours start 9 am ends 4-5 pm. Cappadocia Tour starts between 9-10 am, ends between 4-5 pm. Ferry to Samos starts 7:30 return will be between 7-7:30 pm. Everyday after tours you will have free time. Optional tours can book later separately.

Asked on September 17th, 2025Do Canadians need a visa to visit Turkey? Also I'm hearing conflicting info regarding a visa to visit Samos Island in Greece.

Asked on September 12th, 2025Could you please confirm if airport transfers are included in this tour? Additionally, could you let us know about the minimum tipping requirements and if it is included in the tour package? Lastly, we're curious if there is an available guide who can accompany the travelers to tourist places on days without an itinerary.
- Guide of EphesusOperator•Written September 2025
Airport transfers are included in tour price. Tipping is not mandatory in our tours so it is up to your happiness recommended tip is 10 dollars per person per day for guide and 5 dollars per person for drivers as I informed its not mandatory but recommended. During your tour you will have a licensed tour guide will accompany you.
