    I 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.

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      Does the tour in Istanbul include the basilica cistern? How do we pay for the entrance tickets for the whole tour? Still finalizing my plane tickets but I might need to be picked up from the airport a day early and also book a hotel extra day pre departure.

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten August 2025

      entrance fees can pay by credit card at the entrance of the museums and sites. bosphorus cruise tickets can pay to the guide as cash (250 liras). if you want us to book an extra night its 130 us dollars and if you are agree we can add it to your package. early airport transfer is available. basilica cistern is not in our tour itinerary but its close to the hotel so our guide can take you there.

      Mary

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      Is it $130 extra per night for the hotel? If I book at another hotel, will you still pick us up at the airport and bring us to the other hotel? If I add another person to the tour with double bed instead of single occupancy can I avail of the price for the tour $1250? I paid $1600 for a single traveler, can I just pay for the difference which is $900 for the other traveler?

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten August 2025

      hotel is 130 us dollars per night. if you add one more person price will be 1250 per person.
