    This was my second time visiting Turkey. I’d already been to Istanbul and Antalya, but this was my first time on a tour. The guides knew their stuff and the transport was comfortable, so it felt like I was visiting for the first time. It was really comfortable. I thought I'd already visited and discovered Topkapı Palace and Hagia Sophia, but at the end of our tour with Zeynep, I got to know these historical wonders for the first time. The hotels were decent, and the food was avarage. Overall, I was pretty satisfied.

    Our tour was simply fantastic, thanks in large part to the outstanding personnel who accompanied us. Taner, our guide, was extremely knowledgable and passionate about Turkey's rich history and culture. His engaging storytelling made each sight visit, from the ancient ruins of Ephesus to Istanbul's colorful streets, both educational and interesting. Taner's warm approach and attentiveness made everyone in our group feel included and cared for. Our driver, Ahmet, was also impressive. His driving abilities were flawless, keeping us secure and comfortable during our journey. Ahmet expertly navigated Turkey's various landscapes, constantly choosing the best routes to ensure we were on time at each trip. His excellent ideas for scenic sites and local eateries brought a unique touch to our journey.

    It was a pretty intense tour, but you wouldn't have it any other way. There are so many places to explore in Turkey, especially on this route, that instead of complaining about being tired, you say "I wish I was more tired". It was great to have some free time in between all the action. Thanks for these wonderful 8 days. And a special thanks to our knowledgeable and caring guides.

    I had three favorite stops on the tour. I loved Ephesus, Topkapi Palace, and Cappadocia. Exploring the underground city in Cappadocia was a real adventure. The guides were knowledgeable and good narrators. The transportation was brand new and comfortable. Our driver, Mehmet, was the most helpful person on the tour, and I'd like to thank him. I recommend Eskapas and this wonderful tour to everyone. It was a great tour that combined adventure, history, and fun.

    A great guide with a deep knowledge of the area and history. For me, the best part of the tour was the food and the historical richness. And i like the Istanbul most. Lovely city!

    Selcuk - Ephesus was an amazing ancient city full of mythology and history. This was my favorite stop. It was great to visit this important city with a guide named Taner who knows and loves his job. Thanks to my guide for answering my questions with patience and accuracy. Another important issue was accommodation. I liked some of the hotels, but I only found the hotel we stayed in Ankara mediocre.
