We recently went on the Greece and Turkey tour and it exceeded all of our expectations! The itinerary was perfectly planned with a great balance of sightseeing and free time. Our tour guides, Maria in Greece and Mustafa in Turkey, were incredibly knowledgeable and made the history of each location come to life. The hotels were all comfortable and conveniently located, and the Cave Hotel upgrade in Cappadocia was a highlight of the trip. The food was amazing – I particularly loved the vegetarian options in Turkey. Eskapas was always accessible and communicative, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring these beautiful countries!

Thank you for all of your hard work, and to all the behind the scenes people in the offices that don’t get enough credit for organizing everything. The trip was excellent ; guides, hotels . The only thing we loved less was the hotel dinners while there is an excellent Turkish food outside.

Our trip was good, hotels in Istanbul could be better. I recommend you to upgrade your hotel in Cappadocia to a cave hotel. Be sure to book before as they are small hotels 5-10 rooms.

Fabulous trip and the organization. Guides were absolutely good in both countries. Everything was managed so well that we didn’t have to worry about anything from the start to the end. The trip followed the timetable that they offered during our booking. The accommodations exceeded our expectations and the buses were very comfortable. Thanks for the trip of a lifetime!
