    Wir waren mit TourRadar auf einer 5-tägigen Istanbul - Kappadokien Reise unterwegs. Die Reiseroute entsprach unseren Erwartungen. Die Hotels waren in jeder Hinsicht in Ordnung. Die örtlichen Reiseleitungen waren allesamt sehr kompetent, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Reiseleiter wechselten täglich. Positiv war, dass der wegen schlechten Wetters abgesagte Ballonflug am darauffolgenden Tag organisiert wurde. Dafür können wird die Bewertung "Gut" abgeben.

    I had a wonderful time mainly due to the experiences involved ( I booked all of the additional options e.g balloon ride and bosphorus night cruise) . It was magical. I had some excellent tour guides. The accomodation in both Istanbul and Cappodocia were simple but fantastic. On both tours there was a great deal of walking involved so you need to be reasonably fit, mobile and enjoy walking. I went in October so it was OK but I would have struggled if rhe weather was any hotter. The only downside for me was that the communication from the company providing the tour was sometimes lacking. For example, times to be confirmed that were not always confirmed and I had to chase them up. To be fair, I booked only a week or do before departure and the company always responded eventually. However, I feel that this could be improved. I also felt that not enough time was given for the airport transfer for the internal flight to cappadocia. The traffic in Istanbul is dreadful and it can take a long time to get to the airport. I requested an earlier pick up and the company obliged, but the driver was late. Although it all went OK, it was a bit anxiety provoking. Also, not sure what I had expected but all components of the tour were with separate people e.g guides, drivers etc. Overall, I had a wonderful time and would reccomend

      TravelerWritten August 2022

      As I probably have over 15kgs of luggage, would it be possible to bump up the luggage amount for the domestic flights? I have a flight at 1:45am after the end of the trip, will that leave enough time between arrival to domestic and then going to international?

    • Alaturka Turkey – Tours & Blue CruisesOperatorWritten August 2022

      1. You can increase your baggage capacity for an extra fee while you are checking in at the airport regarding baggage. 2. At the end of the tour, your flight will land at istanbul airport at 22:00. you have time to fly at 1:45 am
