5.00My wife and I went on this tour from July 27 to August 3. We were pleasantly attracted by the large number and the extraordinary variety of places visited. Very interesting almost all the stops of the tour, but do not miss the balloon flight. You just have to accept the idea that to cover the thousands of kilometers provided by the tour, you have to spend several hours on the bus and that the time to visit everything is sometimes stringent, but worth it. We extend a thank you to the Kerim Guide for his sympathy, professionalism and deep humanity thanks to which he allowed us to understand, as much as possible, the particularity of the places and the local culture.
Great travel experience

5.00This review is for the Tour company and Travel agent Tahsin who provided the best service I’ve ever experienced. Tahsin went above and beyond with assisting in the whole tour experience, walked me through the itenerary. Tahsin communicated well and is very responsive to all my questions. He also offered extra help that I can’t imagine others would be kind enough to offer. This tour company made my whole tour experience great and convenient. I would highly recommend Tahsin and his company to people that plans to travel to Turkey. 110% satisfied customer here!
