As seniors, comfort and reliability are our top priorities. We were so impressed with the quality of the selected hotels and the care taken by the drivers and guides. The pace was brisk but manageable, allowing us enough time to enjoy the historical sites without feeling rushed. Seeing Istanbul, Ephesus, and Pamukkale in one week with such smooth transfers was a huge benefit. A truly wonderful and comfortable way to experience Turkey’s legacy.
I only had one week and wanted to hit the four big historical and natural sites. This tour was exactly what I needed! It’s incredibly efficient; the use of internal flights saves so much time. I felt completely safe and well-looked after, and the guides were fantastic—especially at Ephesus. This is a five-star package for anyone looking for a comprehensive, high-quality overview of Turkey in a short amount of time.
This tour relies heavily on flights, which is efficient, but it means you spend a lot of time in lobbies and on transfers at dawn. The sights are 5 stars, the logistics felt like 2 stars because of the early wakes. Pınar was knowledgeable, but I was too tired to fully appreciate the Hierapolis history.
“Great Sights, But Way Too Early.” I loved seeing Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque on the optional tour ($165 felt steep, though). But wow, the schedule is intense. Getting up at 5:30 AM for the flight to Kapadokya and then the same for the Pamukkale day trip was exhausting. My body clock never adjusted. Pınar was good, but I needed more sleep!
“First Class Experience on the Comfort Plan.” Excellent hotels, great food (for the included lunches). Pınar handled the heat well and kept us all hydrated. The Topkapi Palace part of the optional Istanbul tour was worth the price alone—so much history. Thanks Burhan for making the transfers so smooth. Highly recommend this itinerary!
