    We 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.

    Overall 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 chimneys
