What's the minimum number of people to confirm the tour? We will be reaching Istanbul a few days earlier. Can you pick us up from Hyatt Regency Istanbul Atakoy?

What are the charges for the optionals? Besides the tour package fee, are there any compulsory charges? e.g. tips for the driver and tour guide.

Does this include flights from the states, and can I extent the trip?

International flights not included Extension is available

Do most people stay at the standard package accommodation? I want to stay in the same accommodation as everyone else.

More than %90 of our guests prefer standard hotels

Is a cave hotel an option in Cappadocia?

our hotels in cappadocia are cave hotels

Can hotel transfer be arranged for a day prior to start and a day after trip ends? Can we book the extra 2 nights through you

pre and post accomodation is available to add. 1 night extra accomodation is 135 us dollars for a double room. if you want we can add 1 night pre and 1 night post accomodation to your package and open the quotation for booking.

We are a group of 10 adults planning to arrive in Istanbul in May, travelling onward from Georgia, and we are exploring options for ground arrangements within Turkey. We would like to request a quotation for road transport between cities and guided local sightseeing tours within each city only. At this stage, we do not require flights or train tickets. Specifically, we are looking for: Private vehicle/coach with driver for intercity transfers, Local city tours with an English-speaking guide, Hotel pick-up and drop for tours/transfers. We will purchase our own entrance tickets directly at attractions. We will manage optional activities separately unless explicitly included. No accommodation or meals are required from your side. Please share: A detailed itinerary suggestion (if you provide one), Vehicle type and capacity, Guide inclusions, Total package cost and per-person cost, What is included/excluded, Payment and cancellation terms.

to give you a proposal i need the list of the cities. we have to calculate the distances and costs. unfortunately without a city list we cannot prepare a quotation

I'm interested in adding 1 day before the tour begins. Could you please advise the cost.

An extra night double room is 145 us dollars including breakfast. If you want we can add it to your package.

I have just noticed I actually clicked on this tour because the price was advertised at from £863 for the months of Feb and March and I chose march - but then the price went up to £1102. Can you please explain/honor the original price?

863 £ is the price per person in double room. You booked a single room and for single rooms there is a single room supplement of 239£ so its normal price of single room. If you are 2 people you can book the tour from 863 per person

Any plan if my flight delay?

For 3 people in a hotel room, how big is the size please? I am thinking do I need to book 2 people in one room and 1 people in the other room.

How strenuous is the trip? Is it doable by a senior citizen not in very good shape who can manage not more than a couple of hours of walking? Also are there any specific days which are more hectic then others?

Our tours has moderate amount of walking. Its not very strenous only 2nd and 9th days of the tour in istanbul can be a bir harder then The other days because of istanbul tour days are fully walking tours

Great tour, very well organized- communication with the agent about everything, updates, response to questions was excellent. Itinerary as scheduled. Suggestions: consider a different hotel in Antalya, it has a nice location, but it was too noisy a whole night on Saturday; also I was not impressed with the cave hotel in Capadoccia, maybe having the option to stay in a town hotel will be more convenient. But, overall I had a very nice experience with this tour. Will recommend to anybody that wants to get a good taste of the beautiful Turkey.Show more

Ephesus Travel was able to customize our trip to Turkey and made the experience wonderful. Zerrin was our main tour coordinator and everything was well organized with fantastic tours at every stop aided by excellent and very informative guides. We allowed an extra free days in Istanbul and Cappadocia for our own exploration. The whole travel experience was outstanding and well worth it.Show more

I had better expectations for this trip, but unfortunately certain events left me questioning taking a tour in the future. - In the general notes I received, I had listed: For domestic flights, the luggage allowance is 25 kg check-in and 8 kg cabin baggage per person. Yet when I received my flight tickets it was listed as 15kgs! - Antalya was a total waste of time which could have been spent better elsewhere. - The hotel in Cappadocia is not in the centre, with the closest restaurant being around 20 mins away - There were a lot of shopping stops which were not all mentioned in the itinerary - A lot of time was wasted to get to the airport and in the airport itself. On the positive side: - Most of the guides were knowledgable and friendly (except the one in Antalya) - accomodation was good except the one in Cappadocia which was not central (would have been better if this was in Goreme) - the messaging in whatsapp helped made the trip less stressful as instructions were provided correctlyShow more
