Maria was the greatest. I had so much fun! A great mix or relaxation and partying. Not as full on as a Contiki tour, which was great. Also Maria was literally so helpful and went out of her way to be helpful and kind and enjoyable. It was really nice to have someone do the planning for you, so I kind of felt like I was on vacation with a parent who just told me where to go or what to do, so I didn’t have to think about it.

We had a wonderful trip to Istanbul via Greece. We had no problems with the tours, hotel accommodations or airport transfers organized by Eskapas Travel; they were all excellent. Each of our tour guides was excellent. The drivers were very good at their jobs and friendly people. I had an unforgettable experience with many good memories.
Both the tour leader Ege and driver are very professional and informative.
Learned a lot of cultures, heritage ,the life of Turkey and the people here.

The guides answered all my curious questions with great patience. This is a very important detail because this patience is not usually shown in tours with a rich itinerary like this tour. You deserve a big 5 points from me.
