We loved everything about our tour. The accommodations were perfectly located and quality was top-notch. Can’t wait to return to Turkiye for another visit.
Very well organized and punctual. The itinerary was quite good and covered almost all places of interest.

The itinerary was quite good and covered almost all places of interest. Also, it was flexible enough to allow us to take our time to absorb so much beauty and history.
The hotels and transportation included with the trip are top-notch. Special mention to our stay at Kusadasi at Kayhanbey hotel, where the view was a sight.
Kudos to our tour guides, Ismail and Fatima. Very Friendly, and as they are from the Ephesus region, they are well versed in the history of this place which you can feel they wear with pride.

Iglesias Tour made it even more magic: the itinerary is spot on, their guides are great and you should definitely make sure you get Fatima as she is just amazing! Turkey is a great country, Turkish people are kind and the food is awesome! I really enjoyed the historical part of the tour, I feel you can't visit Turkey without doing such a tour. I really enjoyed Cappadocia a lot and Yasar, our guide in Cappadocia, really made it special; such a passionate professional tour guide! I felt that this was the best time to do such a tour as the weather was just perfect and there were not too many tourists. I really enjoyed the group and also the accommodation that Igleasias arranged. Well done guys and hope to come back to Turkey again soon! PS: make sure you book your Hammam experience as it's a truly unique one! I really liked the fact that the tour started and finished in Istanbul as Iglesias arranged everything for me, which is something you don't get from big tour operators unless you pay an additional fee. Overall I'd rate my experience a 5 star one!
Amazing experience with breathtaking views and vibrant people! If you're looking for a remarkable adventure or romantic getaway - go Iglesias!

The price was exceptional as it included three internal flights, all airport transfers, daily breakfasts and lunches, high quality accommodation and very professional, knowledgeable local guides who spoke excellent English. The group size was small allowing the guide to get to know your personal preferences. The tours were well paced and insightful. We travel overseas 3-4 times per year so are a little fussy but couldn’t believe the attention to detail by the owners Ismail and Fatma who are very experienced travel agents based in Kuşadası and know how to deliver outstanding tailored service. Their accessibility and response time was outstanding as we had numerous questions during our planning and booking but nothing was too much trouble for them. Everything ran like clockwork. They are a young professional couple who are to be congratulated for providing such an outstanding service. Highly recommend them.
Loved the tour, it was properly organized and made it a pleasure to get to know a bit of Turkey.
The best tour, super good organisation, super good itinerary and guides was very friendly and lovely. I do recommend them for all the trips in turkey

Right from our airport pick up to the hotels, to the tour guides, it was really well organised. I was in touch with Ismail Kuscu, who ensured everything was well organised. He ensured I could contact him at any time if i had any issues.
Fatma Kuscu, our tour guide for Ephesus was the best. She is such a lively person with a lot of knowledge. She ws wit us for 2 days and it was a pleasure. My entire family adored her for her lively cheerful nature and hr ability to keep us engaged.
All hotels booked were great and in city centers, so we would easily get out on our own and explore.
Loved this trip, and I strongly recommend this for everyone wanting to see the best of Turkey.
The tour was perfectly organised. We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks alot!
Everything was perfect! They are very responsible and nice! ;)

Iglesias Travel were so quick to respond through the whole booking process. Even with little hiccups and delays they were in contact throughout the trip.
The itinerary was perfect for me as it had guided tours for the historical and local sites, with free time to explore in the evenings. Fatima is such a lovely, knowledgeable and fun guide. She is a local and gave some great recommendations for things to do and places to eat with the free time too.
As Iglesias tours is based from Kusadasi and Pammukale, the tours in other cities were run by equally experienced local guides. All the tours were small group tours and avoided the sites at the busiest part of the day so we never felt the presence of the big bus and cruise ship crowds.
The accomodation is all located in the heart of the city so you can make the most of your time there. All the hotels were clean, safe and comfortable.
The food throughout was delicious and local. They were accomodating for those with dietary requirements.
As with any booked tour there was one “hard sell” each day, but these were actually quite fun. Always a local craft that spent as much time in the showroom as they did explaining the craft. Some of them were quite interactive and I got to try making pottery in Cappadocia.
The whole trip was amazing and I can’t wait to go back to Turkey. So many memories on this trip that i’ll never forget. Thank you!
Note:
Make sure you book the Hot Air Balloon in Cappadocia early. It was fully booked for 2 months ahead. The departure isn’t guaranteed. Civil aviation grounds the balloons based on wind and weather conditions.

They were flexible and accommodating to our needs and handled and them with speed and to our satisfaction even some needs that arose a few days after the tour was over.
Definitely and highly recommend them and will use their services again.

The tour was great with very nice guides and was well planned. They were very open to suggestions and requests during the tour.

Wonderful tour! Transportation, flights and hotel all went smoothly. Guides were very knowledgeable and hospitable. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to see Cappadocia and Ephesus.

We had amazing tour guides (well known by others), and we went to amazing sites. Our 14 day tour had 3 "on your own days" that we felt was too many compared to other tours. This was not Tourradar's issue - they were great. It was the company that ran the trip. Carefully check your itineraries. Some companies want you to book extra side trips so they get the commissions.

It was a great tour. Ephesus was so nice. Cappadocia was a totally different world. Also don’t miss the hot air balloon. Thank you for the great experience!?

The company was available for any and all questions. We enjoyed all of our tour guides (Moustafa - Cappadocia, Fatima - Ephesus, Josh - Pamukkale) due to their local knowledge, choices of activities, flexibility, timeliness, and overall detailed awareness of history and current life. The tours were all small groups - from 2-12 people. The hotel selections were in great, central locations with good amenities, especially the breakfast and sea view in Kusadasi. The hot air balloons in Cappadocia were magical! There was a good amount of walking in Cappadocia, so be prepared. Fun to see the local artists and learn about the craftsmanship of rug making, pottery, and jewelry, without tons of pressure to buy anything. All yours were finished by 4:15-4:30 so lots of free time in the evenings. Highly recommend this tour company and this tour to see three incredible sites in Turkey.

However, as the Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Pamukkale was two hour late and together with the minibus drive from the airport to the Pamukkale hot springs and Hierapolis took another hour. In other words the tour started 2-3 hours late. As a result, the tour took less time than we would have liked, it was very fast and less informative.
The tour of Ephesus tour was the best as the tour guide was excellent, the lunch was great and the visit to the carpet factory was very interesting.
The tour of North and South Cappadocia was very interesting, informative and we enjoyed the long walks.
I must point out that Tourradar (Pamukkale section of the 6 day tour) redeemed themselves by finding my blue jacket which I left it in the minibus ride from Pamukkale to lunch and office. Thanks for arranging to send it to Arden Hotel in Istanbul where it was delivered and I picked it up prior to leaving Turkey.

The tour was very well organised with a diverse mix of activities.
We paid for the budget option of accommodation and it exceeded our expectations.
The meals included in two restaurants out of 3 was excellent and very tasty. However, instead of 4 courses maybe only 2 courses and a soft drink included would be a better option.
We really enjoyed our tour and a lot of great memories made. Thank you for a fantastic trip!

When I did not reply to Mr. Ismail's text message, he was up until 1:00 a.m. to talk and inform me about the tour next day. It seemed that Mr. Ismail worked 24 hour! The tour guides were knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. They were very punctual in picking us up everyday to go on the tour.
The hotels we stayed at served good breakfast and had comfortable rooms. From The Arden City Hotel in Istanbul, it was 10 to 15 minutes leisurely walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Grand Bazar. There were many, many restaurants and shopping stores within a few minutes walk from the hotel. The staff at the hotel provided excellent service.
The cave hotel in Capadoccia was very roomy and comfortable. I highly recommend the balloon ride when you are in Capadoccia.
The quantity and the quality of lunches served during the tour were excellent.

All the tour guides were very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly. The transportation, the communication was excellent. I would like to thank Ismail Kuscu for his wonderful communication with us. He answered all our questions in a very timely matter, like super fast. All guides were on time to pick us up and/or communicated with us if the pick up time has changed. We hit all the highlights of Turkey in the short period of time we had. I want to thank all our tour guides: Ismail & his wife Fatime, Harun in Pammucale, Bekir our driver, Mehmet driver, Mehmet Hosein our guide in Antlya, I can't remember all the guides and drivers names but they were all fantastic. I highly recommend this local tour organization. My husband and I had a wonderful time.
If you are signing up for hot air balloon ride, you have to be serious about this as the organization books your seat ahead of time and you are obligated to pay the full amount unless due to weather condition, the ride is canceled. I did the hot air balloon ride and it was an incredible experience. I highly recommend it. This tour covers a lot so be ready to have an amazing adventure.

The operators were extremely attentive and on top of our schedule (texting me about flight delays and organizing airport pick up before I even knew) and accommodating. Can’t recommend enough - everything was extremely smooth even though it was a pretty fast-paced way to see the highlights of Turkey in about a week. I can’t name any bucket-list items we missed.
The hotels were in IDEAL locations and flights were all super easy.
The tour always felt very safe and easy, and all the local guides had great English and kept us in the loop with each day’s plans. Plenty of older couples, young solo backpackers, and families around - everyone fit in fine.
A few minor suggestions for fellow travelers:
- you can easily knock out Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Cisterns, and more in a single morning so be ready to explore Istanbul
- do the hot air balloons in Cappadocia, I hate heights but it was not at all scary
- wear sandals/flip flops for the day in Pamukkale
- bring immodium/stomach meds/electrolyte packets in case you get any traveling digestion issues. One person in our party did, but luckily the tour was structured well for them to take it easy at all our stops.

The tour was excellent, the pickup time was great. No problem at all.

We will never use your service again. The whole staff was rude, Not cooperative. The service we very very poor and they blackmail at each point.
Perfectly arranged flights & transfers even with our last minute booking (thanks to Ismail) and charming guides with a lot of local knowledge, Fatima especially :)

The only down side was the pick up at the Istanbul airport by LaaL transfer car. Total confusion, it was one hour before the driver turned up and that was after a lot of calls from my end.

The best part of the trip was the guides and the overall coordination. Iglesias was flexible and helpful in terms of individual arrangements and variations of schedules.

Transportation is well organised. The only thing I would expect a bit more information about churches, frescos and famous Cappadocia’s saints like st George - our guides didn’t dedicate enough time to it. Other than that is was all great!

Even before the tour started it was easy to message our tour agent, Ismail, with any questions and he always responded in a timely manner. During the tour he also responded quickly and checked in with us to make sure the tour was satisfactory. All the locations of our hotels were in old city centers, which we loved because it made it easy to walk around and explore the area when we had free time. All of our guides (and hot air balloon pilot) were great. A special thank you to Tuncer K. during our Cappadocia tour and Fatma K. during our Ephesus tour. Both gave us additional recommendations for what to do in those areas during our free time. Overall, we could not believe how much we got to explore in Turkey in just 8 days. We loved it and hope to be back to explore more!
