The itinerary was spot on, giving us the chance to see the best of Turkey. Our guide, Mehmet, was really knowledgeable and engaging, while Ahmet, our driver, was always reliable. The hotels were very comfortable, and the traditional Turkish meals were a treat. I'd highly recommend Eskapas Travel!

Its very good in all arrangements, punctuality, room accommodation, the guides etc. Very professional.
Area of improvement: it will be appreciated if the trips are planned so that the stops in the city is close to facilities for senior citizens to sit down and relax, who are not capable or interested in shopping and strolling time. Having to wait for 3 to 4 hours during this time without getting a place to sit is tiring.
From the moment our wheels touched down in Cairo, the adventure was amazing. Cruising on the Nile, riding a camel, admiring the pyramids, enjoying the cuisine......everything was great!!!! Would I return with another group of travelers? YES!!!!
The hotel in Barcelona, Frontair Congress, was a very bad hotel. Hotel staff were rude. The room was dirty. The hotel in Lyon, Campanille, was also dirty and small. The breakfast was bad. Basic spoon, fork and plate were not available.
As for the guides, we were very happy with Abdel, Spain guide, and Diego Bueno, our Interlaken, Grindelwald and Lucerne guide. Both of them were empathetic on our needs. Their English was good. We understood them the entire time. Angeles, our guide in France, was nice but we barely understood her English.
Over-all, we were very happy with the Novotel hotels we stayed in, both in Madrid and Paris.
I am a late riser so getting up early EVERY DAY was troubling... otherwise the trip was good. The guides may be asked to take the speed of walking to average level and not fast so that few of slow walkers were finding it difficult to cope up.
