Turkey 9-Day Tours and Trips

This trip was fab, Cappadocia has an incredibly rare landscape that feels as if you are somewhere out of this world. The walks were varied and a lot greener than I thought they would have been, although you will have definitely seen Cappadocia in depth by the time you leave. You stay just outside of the main tourist town of Goreme which is nice because it's away from the hustle and bustle. I travelled in the last week of May so had some warmer days and some wetter, cooler ones but on a whole we were very lucky with the weather.

We had an amazing experience. From Istanbul to Cappadocia, each day's itinerary took us to new and interesting places. We've loved visiting Istanbul and seeing all the important sites. We had a great time at Gallipoli, learning about the battle and better understanding its importance to the Turkish and Australian people. We loved our visits to Ephesus and Hierapolis and getting to walk around ancient Roman ruins. We finished our trip in Cappadocia - what a fascinating and beautiful place. We had an excellent tour guide and made friends with so many of the others on our trip so that by the last day, we were sad to say "goodbye."

Aycuk was a superb leader. He was very organised and gave clear and detailed instructions about the walk, the terrain, meeting times etc so everything ran smoothly. He was very knowledgeable and gave us the right amount of information about Cappadocia and what we were seeing etc. He was happy to answer any questions and give more details when asked. He was attentive and checked we were all ok and even suggested alternative ways to shorten or adapt walks and arranged transport. He had a sense of humour and went above and beyond what was expected of a tour leader. I would certainly recommend the trip and his leadership.

ı'm glad I chose Eskapas. Since it was a tour company that I had heard of for the first time, I needed to do some research before buying this tour. I joined this tour when a fellow traveler like me said that I "must try it". Organization, planning, courtesy, professionalism were all together. I would like to especially thank our driver Mr. Ali, without whom the tour would not have been so punctual and fun. Highly recommended!

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.

A very enjoyable holiday with not to harduous walks. You soon get used to the early morning calls provided by the call to morning prayer and low flying hot air balloons.
