Reviews of our Middle East Tours for May
Reviews from guests who toured through Middle East during May.
Sharmila J. | Traveled in May
Well organized tour. The scenery was breathtaking. Had quite a lot of time in Norway compared to Denmark and Sweden. Hotels were good, rooms sometimes small but it was not bad at all. Amazing tour guide and Drivers & . Will definitely recommend.
Alison | Traveled in May
Excellent tour with Oz, an incredibly knowledgeable and caring tour guide. I would recommend this tour. We had only 7 in the group and were able to travel comfortably in a mini van. The only small critique I would have is I would liked to have something different added to the itinerary such as a cooking demonstration but the trip to the turtle sanctuary was great. Having a whole free day in Kas was excellent and the chance to do early morning balloon ride in Cappadocia was the highlight
Michalene L. | Traveled in May
It was a very full schedule of events, we scheduled it that way. We became aware of so much in the three counties we visited. We realize we won’t be traveling to the areas again and wanted to immerse ourselves in all that we could. Thank you to our tour director and our driver for giving us the opportunity to enjoy this vacation.
Robert P. | Traveled in May
Hotels were very good. Staying more than one night in each city is more relaxed than moving every day! The restaurants selected for the included dinners were spot on. You would never find them traveling solo. Our tour guide, was excellent. Very knowledgeable, as were the extra local guides. Would strongly recommend to others considering this trip. Robert
Thiago B. | Traveled in May
Scandinavia has astonishing sightseeing for those who like nature or history. The experience was even better with Contiki. Ollie our trip manager and Tamas our drive provide a lot of historical information, curiosities and we were able to drive to some other places for sightseeing. Highly recommend it.
Anonymous | Traveled in May
Loked most everything. Nice mix of things to see and do. The only places that I personally could have missed were Frankenmuth and Bonner's . Some people did like them, they just weren't for me.
