    Olga

    Asked on June 25th, 2026

    Are there any differences between these two tours? Will there be the same guide and driver from your company traveling with us throughout the tour, or we're going to join people from other tours and have different guide in different places? Do we navigate the transportation arrangement ourselves everyday?

    Tour Details
    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten June 2026

      both programs are the same. we are due to tour is a flight package we are using different local guides in every destinations the transportation will arrange by us

      Olga

      TravelerWritten June 2026

      1. Will the guides bring us to specific places to shop? If yes, how many shopping are there in the entire tour? Is these shopping mandatory? 2. Are the included lunches local Turkish cuisines? 3. If we arrive one day before and depart one day after the tour, can we still use the airport transfer?

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten June 2026

      we have shopping stops during the tour ( leather, jewellery,carpet and pottery ) shopping is not mandatory you can have a look but no obligation to buy anything. lunches are local turkish lunch. yes we can arrange transfers for early arrivals and late departures

    • O

      Olga

      TravelerWritten June 2026

      1. On day 6, about what time is the flight back to Istanbul? I just want to know how much free time we have on that day. 2. If I make a booking now for September, and later want to modify the date to within the same month, can I do that without a fee and still keep the same price?

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten June 2026

      day 6 flight from cappadocia to istanbul will be an afternoon flight like3-4 pm but if you want to have a big free day in istanbul we can arrange a morning flight like 10 am its up to your choice. yes you can change the date after booking with same price but like minimum 15-20 days before departure you should inform us because september is high season and hotel availabilities are limited

    • O

      Olga

      TravelerWritten June 2026

      1. For Day 6, I prefer to spend more free time in Cappadocia rather than in Istanbul so late afternoon flight is better. Is there a flight even later than 3-4pm? 2. For now, I plan to travel solo. But if later I find another traveler to join me and share a room, is it possible to remove the single supplement at that time?

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten June 2026

      if there is a flight sheduled at those times sure we can arrange and yes if you find a room mate we can remove the single supplement

    • O

      Olga

      TravelerWritten June 2026

      May I know the time of the other internal flights as well? Also, how long are those shopping (carpet, pottery, etc), and on which day they are? I'm a bit concerned that the shopping and waiting in the airport will cut into our time for visiting.

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten June 2026

      i cannot give you exact timing. All the flighta are evening flights between 7:30-9:30 pm shopping stops are around 1 hour

    • O

      Olga

      TravelerWritten June 2026

      1. Regarding flight times, some traveler's reviews mention late arrival at the hotel at night, and then an early start the next day. If a flight is as late as 9:30pm, it will indeed be very late by the time we arrive at the destination hotel. I understand flight option may not be always available. But if it does, it would be preferable to have flights before 8pm, ideally 5-8pm. And are they all non-stop flights? 2. Also what is the start time for Day 5, if I skip the hot air balloon?

    • Guide of EphesusOperatorWritten June 2026

      the flights are not on our hands when you have a day tour ita not possible to arrange a flight at 5 pm due to Tours the flights will be evening flights we dont have anything to do about this case. day 5 day tours are starting between 9-9:30 am
