Turkey War sites Trips

An interesting and varied, although busy, itinerary. The hotels used are generally well-located, moderate in quality, but adequate. for the tour. Our guide Mehmet was very helpful, organised and speaks good English. He helped translate between English and Turkish whenever needed, and excelled at finding interesting and inexpensive local restaurants for lunch stops. We enjoyed the tour. The Explore trip notes for this tour provide a good description of it.

Definitely worth visiting Turkey with Trafalgar. Amazing history, cuisine and culture. The travel director is very knowledgeable, experienced and excited to share it all, and make your trip a memorable one.

It was a great exxperience visiting so many varied cultural & histirocal sites in Turkey. The scenery in Cappadocia was spectacular. I loved the lesser known sites of Sagalassos in the Taurus Mountrains & Aphrodisias. Our guide Jakop was very knowledgable & passionate about the history & his country. He was always humouress & helpful. As was our driver Volgi & we felt safe over the sometimes long distances. The only negatives are that the visit to Ephesus could be improved so that timing does not co-incide with cruise ship visits & the hotel day 12 at Salihli should be changed as it was out of town with nowhere to walk to & next to a noisy highway. You see so much on this trip, I would recomnend it.

I bought the trip package during NATAS fair in Singapore. It was my first time traveling with Trafalgar but my husband is a repeat customer. The itinerary meet our needs and covered many places that we wanted to visit in Turkey. I would have like it if there was more free time to explore to old city in Istanbul, including the Basilica cistern. As for the hotels during the trip, I wished they could have been better choices. Overall a pleasant trip, ideal group size (under 30) and a very knowledgeable and fun local guide.

The tour itinerary is amazing. We saw so much history in a reasonably short time. The hotels and transport were generally good. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would recommend.mend this tour to anyone who is interested in ancient history.

This was one of the best trips I've ever taken. Our guide Saylan was outstanding -- beyond superior. She was fun, personable, knowledgeable, and conscientious about everyone's needs. The trip was full on, twelve hours a day. We learned oodles about Roman and Turkish history. (If you're not into history, the trip is not for you.) This was truly Turkey in depth. And what a beautiful country! I would have taken out maybe one ancient city, or Birgi, to spend some time in the mountains coming up from Kas to the north. They were gorgeous. We marveled at the Turkish food, all of which was fabulous. I would definitely go back to see more of Turkey in the future. But what really made this trip so wonderful was Saylan, our guide. She was simply exceptional.
