I'm so glad that your booking process with me was efficient and that my communication was excellent. :) It's fantastic to know that our guide, Mr. G, enhanced your experience with his extensive knowledge and thoughtful suggestions for extra places, truly making the rich history and beautiful views of Türkiye come alive. We also appreciate your kind words for our driver, Mr. Hafiz, whose patience and professionalism ensured a safe and comfortable journey, especially during long hours and frequent stops. Knowing that you and your sister, along with the other couple, felt extremely safe throughout the entire tour is incredibly important to us, and we're delighted that this was a key takeaway from your experience. And thank you for sharing the amazing photos! They beautifully capture the magic of your adventure and perfectly reflect the incredible memories you made.

    We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip overall, despite the issues you encountered during the first two days. We appreciate your understanding and patience. We have been working with Hotel Nidya Galataport on several of our tours, including Turkey Classics, Magic Carpet, and Easymade Turkey Tour. Generally, our reviews for these tours and their accommodations are very positive. However, we are sorry to hear about the challenges you faced with the hotel's infrastructure and room conditions. As a gesture of goodwill, we provided an upgraded room, but we regret that this did not meet your expectations. We value your feedback and we'll ensure improvements are made. Thank you once again for your feedback.

      The day tours may require 1,5 - 2 hour's of walk at the sights we visit. As they'll be travelling with a group of people, they will have to catch up with the group. It might be better to offer a private tour with the similar itinerary - 8904 USD total for 2 people including 20% private tour discount valid with bookings made by 31st March
