Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It was on the expensive side, but it was clear where the money had made a difference. Great hotels and lots of time and information with the great guide.
I can highly recommend the Upgrade Turkey in Depth tour. A very varied trip and whilst full-on, and we packed a lot in, there was also plenty of down time to relax and enjoy the hotel facilities. With the exception of the hotel in Antalya, whilst ‘compact’, all of the hotels were very comfortable, ideally located in the respective towns and close to restaurants. Our Tour Leader, Alkin, was very knowledgeable and keen to pass on information about Turkey, the various historical sites, etc. He is obviously very passionate about his job and his country. Although we had some early starts, this was to ensure we got to the various sites early when there were fewer people. Special mention must also be given to Eyup, our bus driver. Despite having to navigate around the country with long journeys, loading / unloading luggage, he always had a smile on his face. His bus was kept immaculately clean. The scenery is stunning, especially as you leave Antalya. Be warned though, Istanbul is very busy and expensive but it’s still a fantastic city to visit with so much to see and do!
The tour was very good and the leader provided excellent information, was very helpful and made sure that the whole tour went smoothly for everyone. The places we visited were full of interest and there was also plenty of time to relax built into the itinerary. Travel time was broken up with stops along the way for refreshments etc. Our tour leader was the key to making this a very successful tour and we would recommend the tour to others as a great way to see the country, come to appreciate its fascinating history and culture.
This was a great trip, with a good mix of historical sights, boat trips/swimming opportunities, visit to the Gallipoli war graves, and finishing with a couple of nights in the bustling city of Istanbul. All entrance fees (apart from a few optional extras) were included in the trip cost so there were no hidden costs. Our guide was excellent and gave us lots of info each day and was always willing to answer questions. His restaurant suggestions were also really good.
