An unexpectedly marvellous adventure

5.00I was very impressed by our Turkish guide, Mr. Er Tunga. He had an extensive knowledge of the biblical sites we visited - spiritual matters, culture and history - and we were so much enriched by it. He had deep knowledge, so he was able to answer any questions we threw at him. Also, he and our Malaysian tour agent were able to adjust the schedule on the fly according to the desires of some of the group. We had the unexpected bonus of enjoying and playing with new-fallen snow, while still making it to all the stated goals of the tour - visiting all seven of the churches addressed in Revelation 2-3, plus Nicea, Assos, Troas and Troy. There was so much more to all of them than I had imagined. Also Pamukkale and the hot air balloon ride from there. The weather was perfect, our pilot was skilled and good-natured, and all round it was a wonderful experience. And of course shopping at various places - the spice bazaar, the silk bazaar, the sweet meat & herbal tea shop, the leather fashion place… all tip-top and very enjoyable. My flight was delayed, so I joined the group in Istanbul 3-4 hours late. Transfer drivers helped me to join the group, and though I missed the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar I was able to visit the Hagia Sophia - that was marvellous. However, since I joined the group late, I missed out on the briefing for the Whisperers. So in that respect I didn’t have as good an experience as I could have. I didn’t know about turning it off manually, so it went flat on the last day. The hotels varied a bit, but all provided what we needed - strong hot showers, good food (we preferred buffets), good mattresses and pillows. For much of the trip the weather was 5-10 deg C lower than expected. If I had known it was going to be this cold, I could have been better prepared with a long down jacket. Anyway, by throwing on all my layers I managed okay. 😅 All round this has been a marvellous trip. I am grateful to God and all those who led us and looked after us for making it such a good experience. 😊

5.00The trip was a packed schedule but nevertheless left space for bathroom stops and some free time. The guide is extremely knowledgeable and able to answer questions (sometimes only loosely related to the topic. Obviously with a longer trip we could have seen more, but I think it was a good length and possibly an incentive to return. Thank you to all involved

5.00We had a wonderful time! What a fantastic experience. Ozgur, our tour guide for the 4 days, was so knowledgeable and able to explain the historical, archaeological, cultural and biblical aspects of all we visited. Our van was spacious and the driver, Tailand, provided safety and security throughout. Definitely an A++ rating!

5.00We visited 7 churches/ruins, lots of histories, religions, wars, earthquakes all blended in this tour. Lots of information, the remains and the renovations are amazing. We also had a chance to experience hot air balloon, over the Pamukkale hot springs. 3 of the hotels had hot/thermal springs and Turkish bath, what a treat. Our tour guide Ozgur is a historian and a Christian, explained all the details and refers to the biblical verses.
