Everything from transfers - hotels - tours & our tour guide was exceptional, i can easily say that our Istanbul Ephesus & Pamukkale package tour is one of the best package tours we have done in a really long time.

Our trip to Turkey was our second trip and this time we opted for a planned package tour, specifically one that would involve seeing some of the sights we hadnt yet seen and thats why the Istanbul Ephesus & Pamukkale Package tour was ideal for us. We saw the Istanbul Ephesus & Pamukkale Package Tour with a agency called www.greeceturkeytous.com and thats how we contacted with a guy called vedat who put together everything for us which was a bonus as meant no stress of arranging it myself for a change. We had the same tour guide for the whole 6 days we spent in Istanbul, her name was Yeliz - she did a really great job of showing us around but did it so we missed all the hustle and bustle of other visiting tour groups which was a great aspect for us. Our time was spent so well that the 6 days of the Istanbul Ephesus & Pamukkale package flew by in the blink of an eye, but in the same time we got to see and learn so much which is just how we love our trips to be.Mr Andrew Lewis & Miss Charlotte Bailey 2018-08-15
www.greeceturkeytours.com is were we came across this Istanbul Ephesus & Pamukkale package tour which was 6 days long - perfect for us as we only had 6 days free from work to head away. The city of Istanbul is massive and there is so much to see we felt like we wouldnt be able to cover everything in a way we wanted to, however our tour guide Yeliz was superb at making the tours efficient so we never had to wait around or stand in queue's. Yeliz has a incredible talent and is very clued up on each and every historical sight we explored. We liked all of the hotels we stayed in as they were all centrally located so was easier for us to get out and about independately - always a bonus! The 6 days of Istanbul Ephesus & Pamukkale package were jammed full of adventure, sight seeing, relaxing and culture that for us it was a perfect 6 day getaway.
