I feel very lucky for the 9 days I spent on the tour. It couldn't have been better. The group was cheerful and friendly, the hotels were comfortable, the food was delicious. Ephesus, Kusadasi, Greek islands, Athens. We had a dream itinerary. The guides were chosen from the best people in the business. The drivers were punctual and reassuring drivers. I will definitely join other tours with Eskapas!
This was my first tour experience with Eskapas and I was extremely satisfied. The route was carefully chosen and the quality of service was first class.
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.
Choosing to visit both Greece and Turkey in the same tour wasn't a good idea for someone like me, a woman of a certain age. It was very tiring for me. I could barely rest at night. Next time I will choose a tour that includes fewer places. Eskapas Travel will still be my choice because they didn't make a single mistake during the tour.
This tour was far more high-quality and content-rich than most I've participated in before. It was wonderful to make new friends during the trip, and we plan to stay in touch with them even after returning to the US. That unexpected bonus was like the icing on the cake! A huge thank you to the tour operators, drivers, and guides for making this trip truly unforgettable. Looking forward to joining another tour with you next year!
I loved Ephesus and Troy. They were places that made me wish I had lived in those glorious times. I learned great details about the region thanks to our guides. The driver was also very very good. Many thanks!
I can't even describe how wonderful this tour was. Just imagine the perfect itinerary and fill your surroundings with amazing people as a traveler. I think that's the best way to describe it. Among these wonderful people, I want to especially thank our guide, Melih Bey. We would have felt something was missing without him.
It was an absolutely amazing trip! We always felt completely safe, thanks to the drivers who were so cautious! The tour guides had such extensive knowledge of the cities we visited. The hotels had the friendliest staff and we stayed in the cosiest rooms. I was so happy with everything!
I love Greece! Especially the cruise trip to three lovely islands was legendary! In Turkey, I liked Troy and Kusadasi the most. It was a very smooth tour with a rich content. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and I will choose them again for the next tour.
The standard of the hotels did not match each other. The hotel we stayed in Athens was of lower quality than the hotels we stayed in Turkey. The food was not according to my taste. Apart from these issues, I can say that it was of better quality than standard tours. Especially the guides were very good. I would recommend it.
It is in the top three among the tours I have participated in my life. Accommodation, transportation, guides, meals and planning were flawless. I highly recommend it.
I want to go back to the part where we visited the Greek islands by cruise! I almost cried when it was over. It was a great tour. Everything was so perfect!
When the tour ended and I returned home, I felt a sense of happiness and freshness. It was a very fun and informative tour. The quality of the guide and the drivers were incredibly good. I recommend it.
I'd never heard of the travel team before, so I was a little cautious at first. However, they answered all my questions about the tour quickly and satisfactorily. They were really interested in me, even after I'd taken the tour. I was welcomed from the airport in a first-class way and when the tour ended after 9 days, I returned home with a big smile on my face. Thank you.
I can't praise our drivers, tour operator, and guides enough! They were all incredibly good at their jobs. Thanks to them, we had an unforgettable tour experience. My husband was just as pleased as I was. I recommend Eskapas and especially this tour.
The tour was a bit crowded. And the food was mediocre. I have eaten better Turkish and Greek food many times before. The route was very good and I found the hotels comfortable. Therefore, I give 4 points. If you are someone who is not bothered by crowded tours, I recommend it.
What an adventure! I'm glad I chose Eskapas and this tour. Thank you for everything. You can be sure that I will choose you again in the future!
I was pleased with everything except one thing. Better quality hotels could have been chosen. Accommodation was substandard for me.
It was very good. Everyone was very kind and professional. I will choose them again in the future.
The vehicles we travelled in on the tour were of good quality and new, which was important as we had to spend so much time in them. I found the hotels hospitable and comfortable. I am no stranger to the route, having visited places before and decided to visit once again because I liked them very much. Nine days was a little short, but I can say I was satisfied.
I thought we'd come across a few bad hotels during the tour, but I was wrong. All the accommodation was excellent. The food was great, too, especially the kebabs. I can't find anything to criticise about the organisation. I was really happy with everything. Thank you.
For the first time in a long time, I participated in such a smooth tour. Normally, two things happen in tours with a busy programme like this tour; firstly, you feel like you are being dragged from place to place, secondly, the drivers cannot keep up with the demands of the tour and there is no time to see some places. Neither of these things happened on this tour. We saw every place with enough time and the team never rushed us. I admired the punctuality of the drivers and the quality planning of Eskapas. I recommend it to everyone!
From the moment I arrived at the airport I was given the best treatment. I was looked after until the end of the tour. Although it was a group tour, it was an unforgettable adventure that made me feel very special. Even though I was a bit tired, it was definitely worth it. Thank you very much.
My expectations when I signed up for this tour were not even half of the quality I experienced. I was very surprised to encounter such amazing service at this price. You can be sure that I will choose the team in the future - every chance I get. Thank you very much.
I love Turkish food! I love Turkey too! It's a fascinating country. I wish I had visited it before. When I think of Greece, I think of the party where we visited the islands. It was unforgettable for me. I recommend Eskapas. They gave good service. I would like to thank our driver Mr Ismael, he was very professional and helpful.
Ephesus is an exquisite ancient city that preserves the Roman history almost as it is. I admired it the most. It was great in Athens too. The tour was comfortable and pleasant. Mr Kerem, one of our drivers, worked with great determination and I would like to thank him separately.
I can say it was an elite tour. There was a competent team that made great efforts to make us comfortable. Thanks for their efforts.
It was a wonderful trip, full of beautiful memories. Thank you to everyone who made it possible.
It was exhausting. Any problems? No. But I was really tired. Maybe I should have chosen a tour with a shorter itinerary. Thanks anyway.
The attention to detail was remarkable. From the carefully curated itineraries that perfectly balanced sightseeing with relaxation, to the thoughtful little extras like welcome gifts and personalized recommendations, it was clear that the team truly goes the extra mile to ensure its guests have an unforgettable experience.
I can't wait to book another tour with Eskapas in the future. I'm already dreaming of my next adventure with them, exploring new corners of the world with the same level of care and expertise that they demonstrated on this trip. Eskapas has truly set a new standard for travel experiences.
I went with my husband and we were very pleased. Everything was perfect. The tour was well organised and planned. I recommend Eskapas to everyone.
When our guide Melih Bey was introducing us to the ancient city of Ephesus, I thought I was in Rome for a moment. He does his job so well that you get caught up in his narration. I would like to thank him for introducing the region to us in a perfect way. Another thank you to our drivers. They did a great job!
I feel bad that I didn't try Eskapas before. I wish I'd met you guys sooner. It was a first class organisation. It was a first-class itinerary. And the hotels were way above my expectations. All the hotels!
During the 9-day tour, you can think of many problems that we are likely to encounter, but we experienced a dream tour without experiencing any of these possible problems. Guides, hotels, food, drivers, my group mates, everything was perfect.
Without a doubt, this was the best vacation of my life. Special thanks to the guides he Irfan and Matteo and all the drivers (I don't remember their names but they are all fine). All tour guides were very knowledgeable and the hotel selected was in the city center and comfortable. we had a good time.
A great trip from Istanbul to Athens. We felt like family from the first moment. The support at the airport was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very kind to our children. I also brought my elderly mother and she was treated like royalty. This tour was one of the best we have been on. Our schedule was designed to avoid crowds so we had extra time to learn more about the sites we visited.Highly recommend the Guide Recep which greatly enhanced our experience and was of great value To do.
The tour is short but intense. The hotel and its location have been carefully selected to satisfy a difficult solo traveler like me. Hotel breakfast is great. Both the Turkish and Greek guides were good. i recommend it
It was a tour that I wished would never end. Our guides spoke English well and were knowledgeable about every aspect of the regions they were responsible for. The drivers were very careful and punctual. We never felt unsafe for a moment. The hotels were fantastic. The food was also excellent. I had never been on a tour where everything was at such a high level. You must definitely try it!
What a fabulous journey. Everything amazed me. Our tour guide Melih was both very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. The hotels, Turkish and Greek cuisine, transport and the places we visited were all excellent. Be sure to join this tour!
The group was a little larger than I expected. I don't like crowded tours and the time spent on the road was too much. Hotels, guides and drivers were good. 4 stars from me.
I liked that the local people in Turkey were friendly and hospitable. As a person who likes to get to know different cultures, I loved the Turkish culture. The tour was great in general, I was a little tired due to the busy schedule. I recommend it to everyone.
I just wanted to say a quick thank you to our driver, Mr Kerem. I've done a lot of tours and I've never seen someone who loves his job as much as he does. He's really loyal to the group he's responsible for. He's punctual, a good person and a great driver. Thanks also to our guides, who were very professional.
