    Our 7 Day trip mid October 2025 tour guide was Oskan and our driver Mr Ramsey the tour exceeded our expectations. We were quite anxious about the long distances to drive but the driver,the bus and our extremely polite and sincere host was a huge blessing. He was always more than polite and funny! We got a surprise from Oskan everyday! Even played a game in the bus and won prizes. We will really recommend this tour and company. The stops were well planned with good food and clean facilities. Hotels were good. Well done!

    Worst tour I've ever been on. Spent most of it in a bus for 7-9 hrs. a day. 3 days spent with non-english speaking guides. We were ignored and actually lied to. Your brochure should be clear that most of the vacation will be spent in a bus. We would never have signed up for the tour if this had been truthfully represented. Out of 4 people with us, everyone agreed they had never had a worse trip and will warn friends to avoid your company and will never travel with you again.

    I booked with Greca and they are a Greek company that markets tours for Latitude. From what I can tell, most of the tour guides are contractors. You can read a review about how great guide X is for company A and when you are there, she is now doing a tour for company B. If you want to get around Turkey and see several different areas, I recommend this tour. Gas was about $6 USD per gallon and many of the attractions we went to cost 30-60 Euros to enter. I felt like it was a good value and I would have been exhausted if I was driving everywhere. I liked how my tour had 9 people on it and was not in one of the huge busses. It appears that many companies follow the exact same route and stay in the same hotels. We ran into the same tourists at several locations. My only complaints with my tour was that they didn't tell me where to meet them when I landed for my flight, the hotel in Ankara was miles away from anything to see that night, they stopped at a few annoying gas stations for lunch that weren't great, and the hotel in Istanbul was not very nice (three nights). The rest of the trip was good and it was exhausting to see so much in that period of time.

    My recent trip to Turkey, organized by Greca , was absolutely incredible, thanks in large part to their exceptional service. From start to finish, the local travel support was great, ensuring every detail was handled smoothly. It made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the rich history and vibrant culture of Turkey to life with their insights and stories. We felt very well taken care of throughout the journey, with every need anticipated and addressed. I highly recommend this tour operator for anyone planning a trip to Turkey. They truly go above and beyond to provide an unforgettable experience!

    Is this public bus tours and how many people in a group tour English speaking?

    Group size
    Transport
    • GrecaOperatorWritten August 2025

      The number of participants can vary until the last days, because many times some travelers decide to arrange their plans last minute. However, generally, the number of the participants is around 30-35.

    • GrecaOperatorWritten August 2025

      Our guides, who are responsible for the tours you'll do, are always keep in mind the necessities of all the participants, slow walking, etc. For the meals, I remind you that all the included in this package, are a buffet type, so you'll be able to choose on your own what you would like to consume.

      What are the room arrangements for three adult travelers. Three beds? Is there a private bathroom?

    • GrecaOperatorWritten August 2025

      In case you book more than 1 room under the same reservation, we will request it from the hotels to be the rooms next to each other. Regarding the extra nights in Istanbul, in 4* hotels in a double or triple room, the cost for this service is EUR 130.00 per person / per night. Yet, in case you'll book 1 triple room for three adults, the room will have 1 double bed and 1 sofa or single bed. If you prefer to have 3 beds we can request it from the hotels, but we cannot guarantee it in advance, since the type of rooms can vary based on the availability at that time. Lastly, I confirm you that during the whole trip to all your hotels, you will have a private bathroom.

    • GrecaOperatorWritten August 2025

    Asked on August 22nd, 2025

    What is the difference between the 3 double room choices? Are the more expensive ones bigger or better?

    Accommodation
    • GrecaOperatorWritten August 2025

      In relation to hotel options, the hotels we usually book per category and per city range from 3* to 5* with different hotel options. For example, in Istanbul we have: 3* Category: Barin Hotel or similar, 4* Category: Riva Taksim or similar, 5* Category: Barcelo Taksim or similar. In inland Turkey, we do not work with 3* hotels, considering the quality of hotels we choose for travelers.

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      Since our return flight is very early on Saturday, September 6, would the tour provide a transfer to IST airport that morning, as is usually offered after breakfast on the last tour day? If the transfer is available, we would be happy to book an extra night at the same hotel. If not, could you kindly advise the best option?

    Oliver

    Asked on April 6th, 2025

    I am interested in booking this group tour for Turkey as a solo traveller. I have the following questions: 1. Are international flight tickets included - London to Istanbul? 2. Are early morning pickups available between 12 midnight to 3am from Istanbul airport to hotel transfers on July 1? 3. Will there be a possibility to have a local travel assistance on July 9 night to Istanbul airport for departure instead of July 10 as per itinerary?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • GrecaOperatorWritten April 2025

      1. The international flight tickets from London to Istanbul, are not included in the package. Since the cost of them is dynamic, instead of the fixed price of the package, we can quote and include them separately, once the main reservation made. 2. Yes, we can arrange the pick up from the airport, at any time. Could you clarify which would be the exact time of your arrival? However, I would like to mention that in case you arrive early in the morning in Turkey, we have to include 1 extra pre-tour night in Istanbul, since normally the check-in in the hotels starts after 15:00 PM. 3. On the day 9 of your itinerary, July 9th, you will return from Bursa to Istanbul. The approximate time of your arrival in Istanbul, will be in the afternoon-night, after 19:30 PM. Once you arrive in Istanbul, we can arrange another transportation from the hotel to the airport, to take your return flight.
