Travel guide from istanbul to cappadocia namely Mr. KURTULUSH was simply not interested in explaining anything about location visited. He was simply not willing to assist us whereas Spanish speaking guide Mr. Tolge was very helpful. Though Mr. Tolge job was to assist Spanish speaking group but he went ahead to assist us in whichever way possible- mainly language related issues. Mr. Kurtulush is not fit for serving as guide. He completely spoiled our trips initial 7-8 days. He never let us take pictures at sites, always rushed us through the locations and his attitude was as if he is doing us charity. Very unprofessional. Its our very first trip with Europamundo and we happen to have such pathetic experience due to our English speaking guide Kurtulush. Later we got another guide Mr. Cem Ali as we were transferred to a different route bus and he was superb. We get to know about Turkish culture,society and their traditions. Mr. Cem was really a very good guide. He saved last few days of our trip from being a disaster. Mr. Cem was really helpful and eager to share facts about Turkey. Thoroughly enjoyed last 3-4days of our trip. As far as hotels are concerned, we visited Turkey in off season from 26th january 2024 to 7th February 2024. We were expecting hotels at locations with good connectivity with local transport. Our stay at istanbul hotel- doubletree at Topkapi was very average. Hotel is far from main touristy locations and has cemetery outside. None expects such a hotel to stay for vacations.antalya hotel-rindowntown was pathetic. Hotel does not provide room service Hotel Bayir diamond at Konya was superb. Tour itinerary was good but few locations we reached at such time tht we had to rush through the sites like at Ephesus city we were rushed by our guide Kurtulush. Our tour was planned in such way that we had stay at kusadasi twice. So itinerary could hv been planned in such a way that in onward journey we could have visited St John church and Virgin mary house and on our return journey stay at kusadasi, we could have visited ephesus.europamundo can pay attention to this aspect.rest apart from guide Kurtulush, we enjoyed Turkey. Its beautiful country. Thanks team Europamundo. Please dnt send guides like Kurtulush who are always tired and not interested and is not fit for being a guide.
