“The tour was perfectly arranged since the very first day to our last. Our guide Kadriye so attentive and caring of the needs of all the members of our small group of 6. The driver and the minibus top as well as almost all the hotels. Beautiful places visited and great welcoming from the local people. We would certainly suggest this travel expert for a tour in Turkey”
1st Adventure to Turkey
5 - Excellent
  • Karen Clancy
“Great trip which started in Istanbul, we had two different guides on day 1 and day 2. The first one was nice but didn’t introduce himself to us, which was a disappointment we walked and picked up others along the way to Topkapi Palace, which was extremely busy as our guide said two cruise ships were in port, which made the queues long (including toilets) and we didn’t have time to see everything. Second guide was excellent, Adul (sorry may be wrong) very informative with maps to explain our trip along the Boshporus, guided us through spice bazaar and how to use the team. After our flight to Kayseri we were warmly greeted by our driver Okan (also our disc jockey) and guide Ali, who were both friendly and knowledgeable on what we were seeing and answering our questions. We were a group of four and we had the mini bus to ourselves so felt very personal. Had a bit of trouble with mini bus which was sorted out overnight, Okan and Ali had much longer days than us ⭐️ This was our first tour to Turkey which gave us a very small glimpse of the country. All hotels were excellent but the Fresco Cave Suites were amazing, we were upgraded which included our own sauna room, lovely friendly staff and amazing breakfast, thank you Volkan. We would recommend this tour and want to see more of Turkey. We were four women travelling and felt safe and respected wherever we went.”
