We have had the best time in Turkey thanks to Dorak Tours. Right from the time we booked they have answered my questions quickly and have communicated well throughout with all the relevant information required. As it turned out my husband and I were the only people on the Timeless Cities tour of Turkey and it made for an extra special experience. Our driver Hanafi was experienced and made extra effort to deliver us close to our various destinations. Our guide Halil was an absolute delight. He is a very experienced guide, his knowledge of the history of Turkey, the different religions and the overall culture was incredible. He went out of his way to ensure that nothing was left to chance, which led to a complication free tour. We now count Halil as a friend and it was sad to say farewell. Yes there was a lot of driving, but Turkey is a large country and we enjoyed the scenery along the way. There were plenty of rest stops and places of interest to break up the longer days. Our hotels were fabulous and with breakfast included along with most dinners we will now be on a serious diet! This tour surpassed our expectations and we saw all that we wanted in the amount of time we had. I would highly recommend it.
