Reviews of our Istanbul Tours for January
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Istanbul during January.
Bridget H. | Traveled in January
Totally recommended! 1. Always in contact with the supplier before starting the activity. 2. The bus for the tours was comfortable, with Wi-Fi. 3. The hotels were 4 to 5 stars. One or the other would improve the food, but details within the very good quality of the accommodation. 4. The guide always attentive.
Elizabeth W. | Traveled in January
The hot air balloon tour in Cappadocia was unforgettable. The hotels were generally centrally located, which made it easy for me to explore on my own during free time. We had the opportunity to taste local cuisines, and I especially loved the Turkish mezes. The tour program was intense but well-planned. I definitely recommend it for culture and history enthusiasts!
