“Well organised. Some hotels and meals were hit and miss, but overall excellent. The guide, driver, choice of activities. I must say though, the Anzac visit could be eliminated. The highlight was the optional balloon rides in the two locations. The group composed mainly of mature individuals and we all got on very well. The tour is highly recommended and hats off to Levent with his extensive knowledge.”
Well-planned and accommodating

“Alican, from the local travel expert, was very accomodating and friendly in his service. On the first day in Turkey, it snowed unexpectedly, he kindly lent his jacket for us to use, this was highly appreciated. Alican went out of his way to ensure that the hotel check-in and check-out process was smooth and without any issues. Alican and Selcuk, are always earlier to arrive at the stated time. They recommended food places where locals go and are not tourist traps. The agency needs to be more sensitive to the selection of hotels as some hotels are not in a good location for night time sleep. Overall, our trip was well-planned and we were invited to Selcuk's home for a Turkish home-cooked lunch with their family and friends, this is a very kind and appreciated gesture. Alican and Selcuk put the welfare of guests as their top priority and we would be happy to travel with them in the future.”

Top Cultural, Religious and Historic Sites in Turkey
You may know the name of Troy best from the Brad Pitt film, however, the UNESCO World Heritage Site ruins of this ancient city are an incredible testament to Turkey’s former cultures, alongside other historic sites such as Pergamon and Ephesus.
Emotionally charged Gallipoli Peninsula – site of ill-fated Allied landings during World War One – includes Lone Pine and ANZAC Cove, both important places of pilgrimage for many seeking to understand the current world order.
Combine a history lesson with a little shopping at the Koza Han Silk Bazaar in Bursa, built in 1491 as a series of covered walkways around a central quad, and still a great place to grab a souvenir or enjoy a Turkish coffee.
Discover the ancient ruins and hot springs at Pamukkale (ancient Hierapolis), where for thousands of years people have sought out the calcium-rich mineral springs.
