Overall the trip was excellent. We did a hotel upgrade and all hotels were good. All the guides were excellent and very informative and on time every day. All lunches were good. The only issue we had was the WhatsApp messages on the day before that you received regarding pickup time and extra activities were a bit generic and some of the information was incorrect but with a few messages back this was all sorted out. The final conclusion is we were very happy with everything.Show more

My husband and I enjoyed our vacation in Turkey! All our guides and drivers were wonderful. So informative and knowledgeable. Big shoutout to Benjamin our guide from Istanbul! The company was flexible and responds to questions in a timely manner. We were able to customize our tour into 11 days. They took good care of us every step of the way. From booking domestic flights and land transports. I highly recommend this tour especially if you like to explore, be on the go, and eat kebab. Thank you for making our trip a memorable one 😊Show more
