A lot to see with ancient sites, great cites, fantastic roads and lovely people – even in Winter!. Turkey is good value for money, cost of food and services. The accommodation generally was as expected 4**** – as were the meals – only Istanbul hotel had average rooms. The tour days were filled morning to late afternoon- reasonable travel times between cities – with plenty of good, included sight-seeing during travel with enough pit stops every two-hours. However, It was a hard week due to a single customer but thanks to Oray, our guide we had a terrific time.

My husband and I really really enjoyed this trip!! The tour was well-planned, striking a good balance between guided exploration and leisure time on the beach. Our guide in Turkey, Nadir, was knowledgeable and friendly, making every moment enjoyable and informative. The Greece part was a different experience, it was more relaxing, we were able to explore in our own pace. We are thankful for the seamless arrangements and will always treasure the memories made during this trip, thank you very much!

It was great. We learnt so much about the country. Really happy the way the tour was run. Our guide Mustafa was one of the best guides we have ever had. What an amazing man with such a great heart and so patient. He has so much knowledge, there wasn’t any question he couldn’t answer. Hotels were excellent. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone wanting to travel. Very very happy. Thank you so much.
