- Anthony· September 20th, 2025We had a fantastic time and saw so much in a week. The tour is so well organised. The accommodation exceeded our expectations. The day tours kept us busy from day 1 until departure. Lots of history and ruins. I would highly recommend Turkey Escapades. Mehmet was in daily contact with us and always responded to our enquiries quickly.Show more
- prachi· September 16th, 2025Wonderfully organized! If there were hiccups they were very promptly resolved The hiccup was in an optional tour of Istanbul, where one ticket was missing. It had nothing to do with the 6 day tour which was very well organized The operator kept in touch regularly and was very helpful If you are looking to see ancient sites, I will highly recommend this tourShow more
