As i am a solo traveller i wanted specific sights to see and days and i was struggling to find an agency to accomodate my request, so when i came across www.greeceturkeytours.com and informed them of what i was looking for i utterly surprised and pleased that they could accomodate me. The itinerary that really caught my eye was the Istanbul Cappadocia Pamukkale and Ephesus by bus in 7 days package tour from the places it included but also because it was also like a road trip which reminds me of how i would spend my vacations when i was alot younger! The Istanbul Cappadocia Pamukkale & Ephesus by bus in 7 days package tour really impressed me on every step therefore i would recommend again and again.Mr & Mrs Stanley 2018-12-03
Everything went perfect during our time on our trip to Istanbul Cappadocia Pamukkale and Ephesus by Bus 7 day package tour from the transportation from location to location, hotel accomodation and especially the planned tour itinerary all of which was arranged with Vedat from www.greecetukeytours.com, after such an amazing time doing the Istanbul Cappadocia Pamukkale and Ephesus by bus in 7 days days package we really got to see how much of an amazing country Turkey really is. Thankyou for providing us with nice hotel stay overs, and as for the bus used during the trip we found it to be very clean and comfortable but also very well equipped for the journey. Our tour guide during the Istanbul Cappadocia Pamukkale & Ephesus by bus in 7 days package was with a very accomodating gentleman named Burak, he made us laugh alot but at the same time we learned so much to from him, i can in all honesty say he took great care of us and is a credit to your agency. We really enjoyed our experience with using www.greeceturkeytours.com and are looking into another adventure as soon as possible.Mr Nicholas Bloor 2018-12-03
Normally when i go travelling i prefer to book in a resort and stay in one place as i love to just kick back and relax, but this time around i wanted to experience something different. I got in touch with an agency called www.greeceturkeytours.com and told them that i was looking for something different than a standard holiday. Vedat sent me a few itinerarys to look over and in the same time we passed alot of emails back and fourth until i finally decided to book on their Istanbul Cappadocia Pamukkale & Ephesus by bus in 7 days package tour which really was the opposite of how i normally do things. I chose this trip because i wanted to be able to see as much of Turkey as i could and that is exactly what i got with my Istanbul Cappadocia Pamukkale & Ephesus by bus in 7 days package tour! Istanbul is an incredible city and literally pours with history, the architecture of the buildings here are beautiful especially the Hagia Sophia - i really enjoyed walking round the grand bazaar to as it was something i have witnesse before and it was mesmerizing to say the least. There is nowhere in the world that i have seen something like Cappadocia it is so extroadinary the whole landscape is just so captivating with its mushroom shaped fairy chimneys and scenic valleys. Pamukkale and Ephesus has been on my bucket list for a while so i was really pleased to be able to tick them off and both of which were million times better than what i could of imagined. What made this Istanbul Cappadocia Pamukkae & Ephesus by bus in 7 days packge tour special for me was the way i was looked after not only from upon booking my trip but during my trip to, yeliz who was the allocated tour guide was very professional and superb at her job, she made the sites come to life each time. Im so glad i decided to road trip around Turkey as it was a great experience and one i will share with people for years to come, its the best decision i made and would do it again in a heartbeat.
