what is the configuration for beds in a triple room? will all three persons have a bed to sleep in or will one person need to sleep in a sofa bed?

In most hotels there will be three seperate beds to sleep in. Only your hotel in Kusadasi will have a sofa bed to sleep for one person.

Does the tour to Ephesus include a visit to the house of the Blessed Virgin Mary?

The tour does visit the house of Virgin Mary, but the entrance fees are not included

Do you do balloon ride in Cappadocia? When is it and how much does it cost? Do we hike at all in the Rose Valley?

It takes place in the early morning of day 5 of your tour, and it would cost 349 USD / Per Person.

What should I expect in terms of meal options during the tour?

Meals will be provided at various locations according to the itinerary.

Are there any limitations on luggage for the flights that are included in the tour like the amount of bags or weight?

The luggage limitations are as follows: Checked Luggage: 15 KG (Total of 1 Piece). Carry-on: 8 KG.

I am interested in booking the 10 day best of Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya trip. How do I know on the last day what time the flight from Izmir to Istanbul will be on the last day? I want to make sure that I can book a flight home that day as well and be able to make it.

We can certainly arrange for you to make it in time for your flight back home on that day. There is a flight available that would allow you to be at Istanbul Airport (IST) at 10:25 AM, which should allow you plenty of time to make your connection.

How far is the accommodation from the airport?

We do not work with hotels outside of the city center, but the hotels are centrally located.

cost of museums and entrance fees please

Admission/Entrance Fees to the Sites/Museums; (current prices – might be changed at the time of visit) Ephesus Ancient Site: 40 € EUR House of Virgin Mary: 15 € EUR Pamukkale & Hierapolis: 30 € EUR Goreme Museum: 20 € EUR Underground City: 13 € EUR Zelve & Pasabag Valley: 12 € EUR Hagia Sophia: 25 € EUR Topkapi Palace: 2000TL

Can I pay with credit card for extra expenses during the trip?

It is certainly possible to pay via credit card for add-ons during the trip.

Are there luggage restrictions for internal flights during the tour?

You will be allowed 15 KG checked and 8 KG carry-on luggage on the flights.

Very good value. All transfers and guides were on time and professional. Rose, our guide in Cappadocia was outstanding but all guides were very good, patient, informative and interesting. The tour itself was well passed and allowed us to visit some sensational sites in Turkey. It was a terrific tour. The support from the personal tour contact was very good and quick. We really liked the hotels that were part of the tour. They were small authentic, clean comfortable and welcoming. And, all were in very good locations. There were a couple of minor problems. The ‘ included’ breakfasts, on four occasions, were not available due to early morning departures. I was later told I could have asked for a breakfast box. Bit late, and I had asked whether an early breakfast was available at two hotels, only to be told no. This normally wouldn’t matter but there was sometimes no opportunity to eat until mid to late afternoon. The communication with the tour contact was very good. It was via WhatsApp. Unfortunately I wasn’t told that the communication was via WhatsApp until after I followed up because I had not received some important information about a pick up. All previous information was via email. So there was, initially, a communication breakdown. Finally the luggage limit on all flights was 15kg. Unfortunately, we only learnt this weeks after we had left home and we were already overseas. This information should be provided much earlier so that we could have packed less. All these criticisms are minor and only intended to improve things for others. I stress that we had a great time and enjoyed the tour very much. Everyone we interacted with was professional and a pleasure to deal with.Show more
