Lindy | Traveled in October
Such an amazing experience. Our guide was exceptional as was out driver. They looked after our every need and advised on places to eat. I love that Explore support the local community. Nice range of hotels, smaller and more intimate. Amazing history. Sailing was my favourite day! Gallipoli was very sad. Istanbul was amazing! Ephesus was huge! The group was small and we all got on really well. No stress at all. The perfect adventure! Such an insight into an amazing country. Thank you!
Anonymous | Traveled in July
Alican from Northa Travel is probably the most caring guide I've ever met. He does everything in his entire power to make your dream holiday come true. A true hard worker. Really flexible with the itinerary made by him or you (that's up to you). I can't really recommend him and his company well enough. Very reasonable prices too. Great experience, just great!
Skylar W. | Traveled in May
The hotels on this tour were a pleasant surprise. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, and excellent service throughout. The staff at each location went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. A great night's sleep after each day's adventures! Beyond the hotels, the tour's pacing was just right, allowing us to see major sites without feeling rushed. The local guides' knowledge added depth to each visit, making the historical sites come alive.
Diana W. | Traveled in February
This tour was a deeply enriching journey, taking us through Greece’s temples, Turkey’s palaces, and Egypt’s ancient marvels. Each day was full of unique experiences, and the pace felt just right. The guides did a fantastic job explaining local culture and history, and the cruise added a relaxing layer, letting us see the scenery from a new vantage point.
Ella C. | Traveled in August
At the end of 11 days decorated with beautiful people and beautiful memories, I recommend this tour to everyone. Especially if you meet Ali Bey (driver), you are very lucky.
Nadia A. | Traveled in April
I was on the fence for a long time before booking this tour. Since I hadn’t traveled with Eskapas before, I had plenty of questions for the tour operator, Alex, who patiently answered every single one. Thanks to him, I decided to go ahead with it, and now I know I won’t hesitate next time. Everything exceeded my expectations. Endless thanks to the team!
