Turkey War sites Trips

The itinerary is packed and tried to cover a lot but i find it a little bit tiring. It could have been better if we can stay at least two nights in Istanbul so we can explore better its beauty. In the visit to Gallipoli we can actually shorten it so that we have enough time to rest after a long day.. For the optional experience, you can remove the Dervishes performance / it is soo boring. We can go straigjt to that great local restaurant! You could also consider offering hot air balloon so that price could be better? It is cheaper to get it online but scary! Although our pilot is superb that was one of the best highlights of our trip. I love dining with the locals. The food they offered are superb one of a kind dishes i will never forget and the women mothers hosted us are sooooo good. I love this. The hidden treasure experience is sooooo amazing! We love seeing the actual mushrolm house ourselves and not imagining the layout amd how they can live there. The food at the hotels are fantastic. From reception to cleanliness and ease of check in every single details are well taken cared of. Just be mindful of the triple sharing arrangements bec they usually provide only for two people but thats minor but good to mention. I would say the 4 star amd 5 star hotels you chose are great. I love Novotel and Dedeman the most. Last but not the least, i would like to commend the very good performace of our Travel Director Altay Gur! He is an amazing, superb, knowledgeable, joker amd have a very good sense of humor! I am very impresses on his knowledge as an Archaelogiat himself. He knows a lot and very family oriented which i admire most. he took care of all of us and i found that he is not too strict when it comea to time although we all tried to be on time. In my past trips with you we left one of our guests in one place because she was late. Altay Gur or Al is highly rated Trafalgar Travel Director. I wouls also like to commend our driver Fai? Sorry i dont know tje correct apelling. He was so nice and very pumctual and drove sooo good! I have no worries about any accidents as he is ao carrful. Overall i would give 20 ratings or more instead of 10 to this trip. I am very brry satisfied with Trafalgar. It never failed me and o woll comtinue to use this travel tours everytime i travel. This is my 4th time. Congratulations on the job well done! Trafalgar is the BEST

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.
