    Hi Sindy, The itinerary you booked covers two major destinations in five days and therefore requires a full schedule. Early flights are needed to allow the scheduled tours to take place upon arrival; later flights would mean missing those visits. While the tickets were sent closer to departure, the itinerary and its pace were provided before booking. Adding a rest day would require a longer package. Regarding the photos, I shared the guide’s direct number so you could request them from him. The photos remain in his possession, so I am unable to send them myself or guarantee a response on his behalf. We appreciate your feedback on the breakfast times and repeated lunch menus, and we are sorry to hear that you felt unwell during the trip. Thank you also for your kind words about my assistance. Warm regards, Yagiz

    Hi Sindy, The itinerary you purchased covers two major destinations in five days, which requires a full schedule. Early flights are necessary to operate the scheduled tours upon arrival. Later flights would make it impossible to run those tours. These arrangements were part of the itinerary provided before booking, so the pace of the program was clear when you chose it. Regarding the photos, I provided you with the guide’s direct number so you could request them from him. As the photos are in his possession, I cannot send them myself or control his response to your messages. We appreciate your feedback on breakfast times and the lunch menus. Warm regards, Yagiz

    Dear Dr Sahoo, thank you for your kind words about the hotels, transfers, and tour guides. We understand your disappointment with the balloon ride cost. For clarity, this activity was arranged independently and was not booked through us, and the GBP 250 rate mentioned was not part of our quotation. We hope you took home many wonderful memories of Turkey.

Could you please advise me by what time should I reach istanbul and what's the earliest I can leave from istanbul as I come from London? So, I have to book the return flight from istanbul

    • City of SultansOperator•Written September 2026

      This package does include the domestic flights to and from Cappadocia.

      As a rule of thumb, we do not recommend booking departure flights that are earlier than 1 PM in order to have plenty of time to transit to your onward flight.
