My girlfriend and I were going on our first vacation. We preferred this route because of our interest in history. Before the tour, we asked the operator about all the possible problems we had in mind and they helped us a lot and answered all our questions with great patience. When the tour started, we saw how honest Eskapas employees were in all their answers. We received really good service and our first vacation turned into an unforgettable experience. We recommend it to everyone.
I loved Cappadocia and Athens. Ephesus and Istanbul were also fascinating. Turks and Greeks were friendly and similar in culture. Eskapas employees were hardworking and sincere. Among our guides, I admired Mrs. Emel the most. She was a guide who really did her job with passion. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
Ephesus is an amazing place. Our guide, Merve, was very knowledgeable and engaging, which made the trip really enjoyable. And don't forget to get plenty of rest before you leave home!
The trip was incredibly enjoyable thanks to the fantastic guide and the overall positive atmosphere. They went above and beyond to help everyone, answering questions and offering helpful advice. They shared great recommendations for local places, educated us about Turkish and Greek cultures, and had a friendly, approachable personality. The food was delicious, and the activities were engaging. While some accommodations could use improvement, overall it was a fantastic experience.
The tour was fantastic. Eskapas did a great job of organizing everything in advance. They were really on top of things to make sure everything ran smoothly. The hotels, airport pick-ups, cars (which were comfortable and new), and guides (who were excellent) all contributed to a high-quality experience. I highly recommend it.
I have nothing but praise for the travel company. They fulfilled all of our dreams during our two weeks in Greece and Turkey. Our drivers and guides were first-rate. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied, and they truly knew their stuff. They were enjoyable, professional, hospitable, and kind! Additionally, they had the option to add to and modify the daily schedule. Last but not least, the hotels Eskapas Travel reserved for us were fantastic. They get a five from me!
Amazing itinery, amazing greek and turkish food, amazing staff and finally two wonderful countries full of history and culture. Highly recommended!
It was a bit tiring tour with a very busy program. We saw a lot of historical and natural places. We had enough time to explore the places we visited. Since the hotels were comfortable, we had the opportunity to rest and get ready for the next day. The driver was great. There was not the slightest hitch in the busy program and this was entirely due to the punctuality and practical intelligence of the driver. It is a bit tiring, but those who want a full tour should definitely try it.
I would like to thank our guides who made me feel like an Istanbulite while exploring Istanbul and like a Cappadocian while exploring Cappadocia. Especially Ms. Merve was very knowledgeable, very kind and a very good storyteller. Our driver was also an exceptionally good driver. Thank you very much.
There is no better way of traveling. Group tours are the best way to meet new people, and this company does it exceptionally well! The tour guides and drivers were excellent! I wholeheartedly recommend it!
As a history buff, a traveler and a foodie, this tour was perfect for me! I loved both Turkish and Greek cuisine! As someone who loves to eat and try different dishes, I would recommend these two cuisines to everyone. I can't comment on the historical places because we saw so many places that I don't know which one to praise. I have to say that the drivers and guides were also very good. Everything was either perfect or very close to perfect. I would definitely recommend it.
Since I am a religious person, I felt renewed and blessed to visit the Home of Mary Virgin. Hagia Sophia and the cave churches in Cappadocia gave me the same fresh feelings. I have never experienced a tour where I felt so blessed. I would like to thank the team who worked tirelessly without letting any obstacle between us and these good feelings and provided us with a smooth tour. Especially the driver named Mehmet was a very, very good person.
The cave churches of Goreme were amazing. You simply can't find natural beauty like this anywhere else in the world. Istanbul is a magnificent city, so there's no need to say much about it. Everyone should visit and discover it for themselves. The Athens leg of the tour was also tremendous. The Academy of Athens and the Temple of Olympian Zeus were my highlights. I should also add that the travel team did a great job throughout the tour. They provided organized, punctual, sincere, and quality service.
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.
When I saw the itinerary before joining the tour, I thought, "How will we be able to visit so many places within the tour duration?" Eskapas had arranged every detail so perfectly that we had a flawless tour, enjoying ourselves and learning about the historical sites thanks to excellent guides, without any hiccups in the plan. The hotels, meals, and planning were all fantastic.
The tour was well-planned and organized, with a fantastic destination. Our guide and driver were both knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience enjoyable and informative. We were lucky to have such a great team, and highly recommend Eskapas Travel for your next adventur
Ephesus and Cappadocia were the most memorable and exciting parts of our tour. And don't forget! If you travel in winter, Turkey is too cold. Try baklava and dolma! They were sooo delicious!
I don't know what my tour mates think, but for me the highlight of the tour was the ancient city of Ephesus. It was very well preserved and full of history. I would not have enjoyed it so much without our guides, so I would like to especially thank Ms. Merve. She was a very knowledgeable, caring and fun tour companion. Driver mehmet was a phenomenon! He was honest, hardworking, punctual and had his own sense of humor. The only thing I can say negatively is that it was a route that made me a little tired and the hotels were a little lower quality than I wanted. Not to the extent that I can complain, but these two issues could have been better.
My girlfriend and I went on this tour. Istanbul and Athens were amazing—unlike anything we'd ever seen. Cappadocia and Kusadasi were pretty special, too. We were greeted by a friendly driver at the airport, which made us feel really special. It was a very enjoyable and unforgettable trip. For me, it was the best tour I've ever been on.
From the moment our plane landed in Istanbul until the moment we said goodbye, we received special attention. It was an unforgettable experience for my husband and me. The itinerary was simply amazing. The guides were also great. Our driver, Mr. Mehmet, was a phenomenal character, both serious about his job and humorous. We plan to have another adventure next year.
I am a person who admires Turkey and Greece. That's why I chose this tour and I never regretted it. As someone who doesn't like to write long comments, I just want to tell you that if you choose this tour, you will not have the slightest problem and you will return home smiling at the end of the tour. Thank you.
If anyone I know is interested in this type of travel, I would not hesitate to recommend them. This is the third tour I have been on with them and they have all been exceptional. They offer great value for money with great quality of service. Thank you very much.
This was my first time going on a tour and I'm so glad I chose Escapas Travel! The guide was fantastic, the trip was amazing, I learned so much, saw incredible things, and even met some wonderful new people. I've already told several friends about my experience and highly recommend them.
It was a wonderful experience, everything was as it should be, filled with beautiful memories and historical treasures. It was perfect.
The Eskapas Travel itinerary was fantastic, allowing us to visit so many incredible places we'd always dreamed of. Having a private vehicle was a huge plus. However, some travelers seeking a more luxurious experience might find the chosen accommodations and the early, long travel days a bit challenging. A huge thank you to our knowledgeable and friendly tour guide for their exceptional service. And a special thanks to our driver, Mustafa, for getting us safely to all our destinations.
Before joining this tour, I only wanted to see Cappadocia. Then I came across this comprehensive tour by Eskapas. I thought "it would be good to see other places too". I had such a full tour that Cappadocia was not even my favorite place. Ephesus was the highlight of the tour. Our driver Mr. Memet was the hero of the tour for me. He is a great professional and a wonderful person. I recommend him to everyone.
The trip was incredibly enjoyable thanks to the fantastic guide and the overall positive atmosphere. They went above and beyond to help everyone in the group, answering all our questions and offering helpful advice. They shared great recommendations for local places to visit, educated us about Turkish and Greek cultures and customs, and had a friendly, approachable personality that made everyone feel welcome. I also want to give a special thanks to our driver, Mustafa, for his excellent service.
The places were gorgeous, with a great mix of history, natural beauty and a little bit of everything. Some of the hotels could use a little improvement, but that's something that can be fixed.
I enjoy visiting new places, meeting people of all ages and backgrounds from around the world, and learning more about the culture. So I chose to join a tour that included Turkey and Greece, and it was a fantastic experience. The only downside was that it was a little hectic and exhausting. We spent a lot of time in the tour vehicles, but it was a required activity, so I can't say anything bad.
I had a great time on the trip. The planning and organization were spot on. The group of people we traveled with was fantastic—all very lovely. Our guide Merve was fantastic. And our driver (Forgot his name) was also excellent.
We had a great time on our trip thanks to our knowledgeable and engaging guide, Merve. Well done! Please keep up the excellent service.
Everything was great. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. I'd also like to thank Emel, our guide, for sharing her insights and stories from the historical sites we visited.
When I called Eskapas Travel to arrange our vacation, I had no idea what to expect when we landed in Istanbul. I got so much more than I ever could have anticipated. The driver greeted us at the airport with a big smile. Our excursion was planned down to the last detail and printed out for us. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and provided us with the best possible trips. Many thanks!
It would have been more sensible to join this tour in the spring season. Cappadocia, Ephesus, and Istanbul were very cold. Athens and Kusadasi had a more temperate climate. We learned from experience that it's important to thoroughly research the weather conditions before joining a tour and pack accordingly. See you again in the spring!
Ephesus, Cappadocia and Athens were unforgettable. Istanbul is a legendary city. I don't even know how many times I have visited Istanbul. I will not praise the food, the accommodation, the guides because there are not enough words of praise for them. It was a tremendous experience!
