    Don't waste your time and money on this tour, if you can call it a tour. Out of 10 days I had 3.5 days on my own. This wasn't a tour with other people like I thought it would be. You are paying commissions to two travel agencies (City of Sultans and Tourradar). All you got were accommodations, transportation, and local tours; this you can book on your own for way cheaper. It was supposed to come with transfers from the AP. I arrived in Istanbul by train and they wouldn't accommodate me with transfer. A huge rip off.

    This is a tour which includes the day tours, domestic flights, hotels and pick-up services of the above items as stated in the itinerary. There was not a same tour guide appear physically throughout the trip. Instead, the tour operator would inform you the pick-up time on next day everyday, and you would be joining groups composed of different tourists everyday. As the groups generally won’t be in a large size, the day tours usually ended earlier and it allowed more time for rest or arrangement of personal activities. For me as a youngster, this means of traveling gave me more freedom and flexibility which I enjoyed. Nevertheless, elderly tourists with less travelling experience may find difficulties as they need to handle lots of procedures, e.g. checking-in the flights in airports, by themselves. One thing that the tour operator may do to facilitate the experience is that they may provide options of the flight time for the domestic flights, as some domestic flights booked by them may not be the best for allowing exploration in city or rest in hotel. I also appreciated the work of Fatih and Deger, tour guides for the Istanbul Day Tour and Ephesus/Pamukkale Tours respectively, for their great work in illustrating stories behind the spots and care on the participants.

    This is a tour in which the hotels, domestic flights, day tours and pick-up services are provided as stated in the itinerary. There was not a tour guide present in the entire trip. You would be informed of the pick up time on next day by the tour operator and joining groups composed of different tourists everyday. For me as a youngester, I think this way of traveling allows more freedom and flexibility. The day tours usually won’t last too long because of small group of tourists, so it allows sufficient time for rest or arranged own activities. Nevertheless, for some elderly tourists who don’t travel frequently, they may find difficulties as they needs to handle lots of procedures by themselves, such as checking in the flight in the airports. One point that the tour operator can facilitate better experience if the trip is that they may provide option for the time of doemstic flights

    Our family, my husband, myself and our university-age daughters, had a fabulous time in Turkey. We had great food, accommodations and transportation. The guides were wonderful particularly Rose in Cappadocia who was excellent at sharing the history of this amazing region. It was a special tour for us that we will always remember.
