The tour was well planned and executed perfectly. One of my suggestion pls don't take to 2 pottery making sessions and 3 carpet making sessions...it is the same even if its in different towns ...better things could have been planned in that time ...also the time given at Pamukkhale was less to enjoy and see everything. The hotels were good except the one at Pamukkhale...it was a very crowded hotel and once u were given the keys ...u were on your own . The van that picked our group from Cappadocia...the air conditioning was not functioning properly throughout the 5 days .

We had a fantastic tour and would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in Turkey. Our guide was exceptional, with his knowledge of Turkish history and cuisine - which was an unexpected delight. The highlight of our trip was the balloon ride in Cappadocia, which took place on a cloudless morning sandwiched between several days before and after when the weather was too poor for balloons to fly. And we loved staying in the Cave Hotel in the area. Istanbul is one of our favorite cities in the world, and the interior sites like Pamukkale and Ephesus were fascinating. Our tour was scheduled for a max of 12 people, but most of the tour turned out to be essentially private for just the two of us. I guess shoulder season can be that way. Very happy with the tour company to honor our tour. Would highly recommend a tour like this to experience the magic of Turkey.
