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!

We had great time visiting Turkey, everthing was we'll organized, the hotel, food, transportation, tour guides etc. DS Turkey was very helpful and communicative all times. I would definitely take a tour with this company and ask for Şevval to coordinate everything for us.
The tour was great. Our guide Nadir was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The team was flexible and accommodating throughout the tour. Before booking, you should know that since they organize tours of different lengths from different sites, it will be easy for them to extend your stay if you want. The only downside was that on my trip the tour started and stopped on different days for different people. The hotels were good but not what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Even so, I fully recommend this tour.
Long bus journey but worth it. Major sights visited in Istanbul city.
Gallipolli and Troy well worth visit,very interesting,hard to imagine human cost of war.Trenches still visable. Lots of archaeology at Troy and replica of wooden horse to go in. Good photo opportunities. Ephesus with ancient streets,roman toilets,columns,mosaics and carving of menorah. Amazing amphitheatre at Parmakeele,The Thermal Springs. Lots of people but lots of space. White rocks fab,water not warm,skin felt refreshed after dip. Hotels used were high quality. Breakfasts delicious. Time to visit museum shops and time for coffee break.
Guide allowed plenty of toilet stops.
