Antalya Tours and Holidays

I have travelled extensively over the years, but this tour stands out as one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences I have had. Turkey is a fascinating country with an incredible history, culture, landscape, and people. While the itinerary was excellent, what truly made this tour exceptional was our guide, Bushra. Bushra's knowledge was outstanding. She was able to explain complex historical events, cultural traditions, and local customs in a way that was engaging, informative, and easy to understand. However, her greatest strength was not her knowledge alone. It was the genuine care, kindness, and generosity she brought to every day of the tour. Bushra consistently went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable, informed, and included. She paid attention to the small details, anticipated needs before they became problems, and always made time for questions. Her warmth and sincerity created an environment where people felt welcome and cared for. What impressed me most was that her professionalism never felt scripted. She genuinely cared about the people on the tour and about sharing her country with us. Her passion for Turkey was evident in everything she did, and it made the experience far richer than simply visiting a list of destinations. Our driver, Emrah, also deserves recognition for his professionalism, patience, and safe driving throughout the journey. Together, Bushra and Emrah formed an outstanding team. I leave Turkey with wonderful memories, a deeper appreciation of the country, and gratitude for the people who helped create such a positive experience. Bushra is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have met, and she was a significant part of what made this tour so special. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to others and would gladly travel with this company again.

We were well accommodated and informed about the many sites we viewed by ou r leader Kemal who also found additional options for food and cultural experience that added immensely. Recommendations on food and drink also appreciated. Traveled with friend as couple and found our rooms to suit our needs well. Pickup and dropoff to Antalya airport went well. I will look for other Explore trips as our group had recommended some.

Our tour leader, Kemal was exceptional and a credit to Explore. He was well versed on the subject matter and treated us well. We all appreciated having him as our tour guide and leader.

This was my second trip with Explore and my first as a single traveller. I would highly recommend. I loved everything about the trip apart from the transport which was uncomfortable for the lengthier drives. The ancient cities we visited were very impressive and brought to life by our friendly and very well informed guide, Mert. The boat trips and time spent in the bazaars and at Gallipoli were highlights. I think all of our friendly group of 6 would have welcomed an additional day with the tour guide in Istanbul.

All excellent despite the weather over which we have no control! Exodus provides a comfortable and friendly atmosphere for travel. The itineraries are varied and the guides really know their stuff! I appreciate their care and they go out of their way to assist us.

Tim the tour leader was excellent and really knowledgeable. His enthusiasm and level of engagement made the trip as fantastic as it was. The only downside for the trip was the multiple issues with the Milashan Hotel in Milas but the tour leader did a fantastic job of getting this resolved to the best of their abilities.
