    Tour was big, bus was full for first few days, difficult to make connections. But as tour went on some people on shorter tours moved on. The last week was better with less people. Guide was very good. Some very long travel days.

    Our guide (Aycan) and our two bus drivers were excellent. The tour itself was good but not excellent first problem was the blending of multiple itineraries into one group, so that the main group of 18 split up after about 5 days together, resulting in poor group bonding/cohesion. Second, some of the hotels were not up to part in terms of accommodation and food quality. Only two of the hotels - Legacy Ottoman Hotel in Istanbul and Hotel Greenland in Fethiye were as advertised. The rest were more like 3-star hotels with indifferent staff.

    Mustafa’s Turkey tour including Gallipoli Anzac Day dawn service was everything & way more than I expected. Highly recommend trip of more than a lifetime giving taste of the treasures of Turkey which you’ll want to return to investigate more deeper. We had an excellent crew mix of Aussies & Kiwis of all ages & one Indian man. 5 Veterans on our crew including Jus the Indian man. Mustafa was THE best guide always joyful funny charming went out of his way to assist all & beyond with his expertise of 30 years experience in the industry which was obviously evident helping us skip queues see the best parts of places with the rapid paced tour. Mustafa is kind & considerate with all a true gentleman. We were the first bus load to Gallipoli giving pole position for the mornings events. Our 2 bus drivers got us safely & efficient around Turkey always willing to assist load & unload bags, drop off & pick ups from best locations. The tour had some wonderful diverse options & inclusions keeping you intrigued & educating you about the life & culture ohh & the fabulous history of the Anatolia Peninsula. From Istanbuls Blue Mosque, Haigh Sofia river cruise night life & restaurants. The Turkish night show was epic. Loved ballooning at Pamukkale perfect flight stunning views of the Calcium Terraces swimming in the thermal pools & taking Stirling bath. Discovering Cave houses of Goreme creating by the Hittite’s. & Cappodicias stone formations are just serial. Get a Cocktail there is amazing ”Sex in a cave”. The history of Ephesus birth place of Alexander the Great & museum visit there blew my mind. The visit to ancient city of Troy also just labelling for history lovers. So much seen & done I could carry on all day. The highlight of course ANZAC dawned on me service not much sleeping the event was organised very well & highly emotive. Loved visiting the sites of major battles the next day. Mustafa again with his expert knowledge got us to get there early to beat the other bus loads. All hotels exceeded my expectations for a budget tour. 3-4 star. Turkish people were very welcoming & helpful. After just completing a tour of Spain & Portugal with different tour agency . It has highlighted just how more professional & customer friendly Travel Talks tours are for a traveller with customer service & consideration as a policy.
