The tour was simply amazing. The tour company executed all the itineraries flawlessly. The company communicated with us daily basis regarding the following day’s itineraries. And any additional questions from us were answered in very timely manner. It seemed as if they knew what I was going to ask next. I didn’t have to worry about anything such as pick up, drop off including flight cancellations. All the hotels were nice and I felt very welcomed. Tour guides in Turkey were very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Especially Erdi at Cappadocia. His home town was Urgup (Cappadocia) I felt his passion for love of his town when he was touring with our group. He also accommodated our needs after tour hours. I learned so much about the town. I will definitely recommend to my family and friends for future trips to Turkey.
