  What a fabulous tour! We had 11 friendly people on our small group tour and a brand new air conditioned bus (our driver excitedly told us!). Our wonderful tour leader, Seckin, and our friendly driver made the tour even more enjoyable. We were picked up at Istanbul airport, even though we flew in a day earlier, and were driven to Izmir Airport and assisted with our bag drop off when we flew to Athens. When we landed in Athens, we were picked up again and escorted to our hotel. 5 star service. The Turkey leg of our tour was wonderful. Make sure you do the balloon ride in Cappadocia. It is a highlight and magical. The days can be a little long and tiring, but worth it. The hotels were all good quality and comfortable and the food buffets were good. The only negative thing we can say is that the last 2 days in Athens were not a "small group tour" as advertised, which was disappointing. We were driven around from hotel to hotel, loaded on and off 2 big coaches and were part of a large group tour, which mainly did the Acropolis museum and the Acropolis. There were a few people that were disappointed and left the tour before the end. We lost our tour guide on several occasions due to the crowds. The last day on the 3 island cruise was again very busy and crowded (although you are alerted to this in the tour information). We took advantage of upgrading to the VIP room and it was worth every cent to get away from the crowds. There were only 8 of us in the section and the day before I believe there were 32.Show more

  Hi Karen, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour, especially our guide's leadership, the airport transfers, and the incredible balloon ride in Cappadocia. It's great to hear that the hotels and service met your expectations. However, we sincerely apologize for the disappointment in Athens. We are reviewing our itinerary to ensure this inconsistency is addressed. Kind Regards, Aysegul We're happy the VIP upgrade helped, and we truly appreciate your honest feedback. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!

  Very good overall. Except that I paid on September 30, 2 tickets for Balloon Ride = 610 Euros; and 2 tickets for Turkish Dinner = 140 Euros, Total = 750 Euros; to be held on October 01. The Turkish Dinner did take place, but the Balloon Ride, leaving the Hotel 5 minutes away, we were returned due to the suspension of the same, because of bad weather conditions? Mr. Tolga, the Group Guide, told us on October 2nd, that we would be refunded 610 Euros directly to my credit card, from where the payment was made? As of today 25.Oct.2025, on My Credit Card, there is only a Pending Charge for 750 Euros = 16,221.29 Mexican Pesos (30.Sep.2021). THE BALLOON RIDE PAYMENT, WHICH DID NOT TAKE PLACE DUE TO BAD WEATHER, FOR 610 EUROS = 13,193.31 MEXICAN PESOS, HAS NOT BEEN REFUNDED TO MY CREDIT CARD. THANK YOU. ,Show more

  The entire trip went smoothly. It was wonderful to have someone waiting for us at each airport, always welcoming and taking care of our things. Every accommodation we booked was fantastic. And these weren't even the improved hotels! Wouldn't have changed anything. We will definitely arrange a trip to Greece with Eskapas in the future!Show more

  The experience was fantastic—the absolute best!!! Every pick-up and transfer went just as planned, with no issues. The tour guides were knowledgeable, interesting, and helpful. We took the optional hot air balloon flight, which was enchanting—soaring above the stunning rock formations at sunrise. Thank you for all of your planning and arrangements. I think it was good value for money.Show more

  Our tour organizers in Turkey and Greece were extremely knowledgable, and the guides at each stop were exceptional. There's a lot to see, which is especially intriguing if you're into history. Overall, the accommodations in Turkey were nice, but not as fantastic as those in Greece. Show more

  This was a tour for individuals interested in the ancient world and civilisation's past, as well as enjoying stunning landscapes and present cultures in these countries. The tour guides, one for Greece and one for Turkey, were flawless. The cuisine was the Mediterranean diet on steroids, and the hotels well exceeded our expectations. We were glad we were on a smaller group tour because there are many more possibilities for exploring than on larger group tours. We'd want to thank our guide Selim to provide us with this wonderful experience.Show more
