This was my first trip through Tourradar and it did not disappoint. I got to see every part of Turkey that was on my bucket list. The whole trip was so well organized and travel from city to city was seamless. My contact, Zerrin, provided me with all of the information I needed in a timely and easy to understand way. The guides in every city were so wonderful and full of knowledge. The accommodations and meals were beyond my expectations. Overall, this was an incredible experience and I can't wait for my next trip through Tourradar.Show more

The overall experience was great except in Cappadocia. I am very disappointed with the tour experience there due to the tour guide's behaviour. During the trip, he displayed racist attitudes towards Arabs in front of the entire group, which was completely unacceptable. When my friend requested a five minutes prayer break in the nearby mosque of the museum, while we were waiting for the tour to assemble, he prohibited her from doing so, saying "this is not how we do it in Turkey." and that frined of mine has travelled for more than 50 countries with agencies such as Tour Radar, Viator and Grayline and has found this statement absurd. When she calmly stated he could leave her if he could not spare the 5 minutes, and she would manage her time solo. The tour guide clearly lacks cultural sensitivity and the ability to respectfully manage a diverse group. I would recommend the Cappadocia tour, but not the tour guide they have selected for it.Show more
