Jauna was our guide and was amazing!! Our driver was Asim and we had the best driver in Turkey. I have stage 4 Cancer and Jauna moved the day around work with us. She is knowledgeable, you don’t just learn about the people and history you feel it. We were lucky enough to do a hot air balloon ride and it was life changing. Landing in a field of camels was even better. This company provides a very nice service.
Excellent! It’s a very well organized tour. We enjoyed the trip to Ephesus ruins and Cappadocia. I would say though, the balloon ride over the Love Valley was the highlight of the trip. It was not as scary as it seemed.
Fatima was the most brilliant guide - so lovely, so enthusiastic. I absolutely loved Ephesus and it was amazing to experience such an incredible part of history. And Virgin Mary’s house was so peaceful and serene. Lunch was also delicious! All in all, a lovely day spent. We went to pamukkale and Cappadocia Everything was perfect The hot ballon was an amazing experience I recommend this tour to everyone !! Fatima and Ismail are incredible Person ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Privately arranged tour by Ismail. Very nice local guide. Quality local transport. Very responsive contact with Ismail to sort out questions we have. Well arranged hot balloon fly. Comfortable bath in antique pool in parmokele. Knowledgeable introduction of Euphosus and Cappadocia. The only thing that were not good enough: hotel was only 2- star in Kusadasi, different from marketing, not very satisfactory. With this, I would still rate the tour as closer to 5 star than 4 star. Enjoyed it and appreciated!
A big thanx to the Eglesias Turkey Tour for making our vacation hassle-free, memorable, exciting, and fun. 💯👍🏻
It was our first time visiting Turkey, and i’m grateful to be able to book under Iglesia Tour Turkey. Shoutout to Sir Ismael for being so responsive even before our trip commences. The highlight would definitely be the hot air balloon trip. From the pick-up to and fro the airport and hotel, to the actual activity, overall, it was truly smooth sailing. We didn’t have a bit of the problem. He truly helped us experience authentic Turkish Hospitality. Kudos to you and your team Sir Ismael!
It was a great experience. Our guide Ismail was a great person. He has good knowledge regarding the places and explains it in detail. The accommodation provided was really good . In total we had a very memorable trip.
The team especially our guide Ismail was fabulous.He had an in-depth knowledge of all the attractions around Turkey.I unfortunately had an accident in pammakule and had to get to a hospital.Ismail was so kind and helpful throughout my hospital journey as well.I recommend this to all interested travelers out there.
The trip was very good. Our tour guide Ismail was really good and helpful. The accomodations of the trip was really great. Overall it was a wonderful trip.
Very accomodating, flexible and superb service. Tour guide Ismael is very knowledgeable and just knows how to make our trip personal and memorable. Would definitely recommend and get him to arrange our return trip to Turkey soon.
We had an amazing trip!! Hassle free and very relaxed holiday . We booked our trip two days before the holiday and it is impossible to plan and book everything but the best turkey tour made it possible.we had a very accommodating and flexible tour guide and his name is kadir ismail
I did 4 days tour in turkey - pamukalle, kusadasi, capadocia and instanbul! Pamukalle is great and amazing place! Tomorrow we are going to capadocia and i cant wait!! So far everything goes well!! Turkey is a very nice country but our tour guide ISMAIL made it more worth it!!! Ismail is the reflection of all turkey that turkish people are very nice and accommodating!!! He is very polite and smiles all the time! The company is very lucky to have a tour guide like ismail as he makes the trip great with his skills, knowledge, attitude and personality!! A good tour guide makes a difference! Never felt that we rushed! To everyone who is reading or looking for a review about best turkey tour! This is your sign! This tour is not a scam!! Book it and you will never regret it!!!! A very satisfied client here!!
Did a private tour and it was totally worth the extra top-up. Ismail, our guide throughout the journey, really made the difference. With his experience, passion, humor and attention to our needs, we felt completely comfortable and enjoyed the trip. Their website contains a wealth of information that helped us plan the trip and the ease of customizing the itinerary made it feel like a free and easy tour with a friend guiding us along the way. Don't hesitate to reach out to them and state your needs. That's how we changed our flights (which we hate) to a pleasant road trip.
This is my first time visiting Turkey. I decided to take a local tour and go on a 4 days tour of Turkey from Istanbul and stay a few days longer in Kusadasi for diving. Ismail provided excellent response and detailed information from the start so I wouldn't hesitate to travel alone. Ismail and his team's knowledge of the history of every places I visited, comfortable lodging and well-scheduled transportation made this trip even more unforgettable.
Punctual pickup, comfortable ride, friendly tour guide and good explanation in English , will do again
I highly recommend this tour company as the toys guide is so knowledgeable and friendly. The food provided is nice and the restaurant ambient is nice .
*It was perfectly organized and run smoothly, punctual and with the focus on comfort and interest of the participants. From initial contact, enquires, accommodation, to booking and efficient coordination by the tour organizers (Mr. Ismail and Fatemah). It was really good value for money. I loved the small group size of travelers (max:15 people) in a share van. *Special thanks to our exceptional guide: Fatemah: A truly gifted guide, she had an encyclopedic knowledge of turkey, emphasis on culture, history, archaeology plus fascinating lectures on the region and history. She was always attentive to the group, made our travels truly awesome. We were so well cared. She was keeping us informed, safe, response to question, extreme patience, friendly and on-time. *Honestly, they are by far the best tour operator we have traveled with. Strongly recommending in choosing this tour company when visiting turkey.
It was one of the best trips of my life. Hotels, transportation, places, everything was excellent. Special Thanks to Ismail for being so helpful. Thanks to all that were part of this. CV
This tour was amazing!! I went with 5 other girls and we had the most incredible time! Everything ran smoothly, transport and accommodation was excellent and our tour guide Fatma was knowledgeable and so lovely!! Can highly recommend this tour to anyone!
Ismail was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. We had a great time on this tour. We recommend the tour company and Ismail
The tour was perfectly organised. We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. The Guide (Fatma) has been so nice and helpful throughout. Everything like airport transfers, coaches, meals and accommodations etc were exceptional. The tour manager (Ismail) was very responsive and professional. He accommodated me each time i have requested to make any changes to my plan. Hats off and Thanks a lot!
Kadir kuscu, Is the man behind the trip that will be a highlight of my journeys for years to come. The knowledge I gained while traveling with Kadir and the guides he arranged for me along my journey will last a lifetime. The incredible service and accommodations as well as welcoming feeling of kindness and insight into the culture and history will only help you learn about the world as well as help find inspiration within yourself. Kadir truly went above and beyond, he helped me find a Hookah and made my trip trouble free and full of relaxation and experience. I highly recommend this company and I highly recommend traveling to Turkey. Will
My family and I had an incredible time with this package. The package consisted of private tours to each of the site, with ample time for taking in the sites and pictures. The guides Fatima, in Izmir, and Mehmet, in Cappadocia, were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, we switch around the order of site visits to avoid the crowds. The hotels included in the package were great and flights were convenient. Travelling with two young kids, I appreciated the day we had in Cappadocia as part packageo with no activities. It allowed us to recharge for the two days of tours that followed. One thing to know is that the hot air balloon rides are dependent on weather. We had bad luck in this regard, as three days of rides were cancelled because of the weather; we promptly received a refund. Turkey is beautiful, Ephesus and the house of Virgin Mary were unbelievable experiences. The underground cities in Cappadocia has to be seen to be believed, not for the claustrophobic, and the hike through then rose valley was awesome. I will be going back for the hot air balloon ride and to see other cities.
I had limited time and this is by far the best 4 day tour option as it covers all the sights I wanted to visit. Communication was quick and hassle free, so was putting down the deposit. Went from Istanbul - Cappadocia - Izmir - Pamukkale - Istanbul. Three legs of the travel were by domestic flights. All the domestic flights used were comfortable and punctual but one which was due to weather. The transport vans used for the entire trip were very clean, comfortable and in good condition. The tour guides were all professional and adjusted the amount of information based on what the group preferred. For one part of my travel, it was just me and another tourist, pretty good ratio of 1 guide to 2 tourists! Most of the sites listed were covered although I wish there was less factory tours. I guess I could have chosen to sit out instead. I did not have any issue with late pick-up. Meals were reasonable but would be even better if we could have meals where locals eat instead. The one meal taken at a local restaurant was amazing!
