Best of Turkey Reviews

We love Turkey more than Israel, we travelled with Insight Vacations some 25 years ago, love it then and love it now. A lot to see with ancient sites. great cites, fantastic roads and lovely people. Turkey is good value for money, cost of food, services, goods are very moderate to good for an Australian dollar exchange. The climate was good in late ...read more September - early October 2022. We've been travelling for over 45 years and have rated Turkey as a bucket list destination. Trafalgar ran the tour here with most meals and all site tickets were included. The tour director was a very good " CEM". Trafalgar should make ballooning in Cappadocia as an option for the travelling guest.

The tour was terrific, the guide Gem Tas - outstanding knowledge and native speaker, quality English. The accommodation generally was EXCELLENT - as were the meals - only one place had average rooms and a poor meal.

A good itinerary, the guide was knowledgeable, however was too patient with some of the guests who were continually late or went missing. The restaurant choices were also good however I did not appreciate dining with cats running under the tables and begging for food. The Turkish countryside was green, mountainous and ever changing which made for pleasant ...read more driving through.

Trafalgar made the trip safe, comfortable and memorable especially in today's political environment. I would certainly travel with Trafalgar again. Most of the hotels were excellent. Some, as to be expected, we're not of the same high standard as The Marriott for example. Travelling through Turkey by road is a great way to experience the country. ...read more I ave travelled to many countries and Turkey would gave to be one of my top 3 destinations.

It was incredible seeing Turkey - even in Winter! The tour days were filled morning to night - reasonable travel times between cities - with plenty of good, included sight-seeing during travel. Our tour guide - Alan - was an archaeologist with excellent insight into the ruins and histories of the places visited. All in all, the best tour we have ever ...read more enjoyed! However, we could have missed the time 'touring' the 'shopping' places - leather, jewelry, carpets etc as, although the information given may have been good - the products were pricey and not really of interest to most of us - particularly with high-pressure sales people following one around. Would have preferred that time in the afternoons in each city to be able to explore a bit (as there was very little time for that most days) on our own. With the exception of one hotel, accommodation was excellent. We are definitely recommending this tour to others interested in exceptional value and a thoroughly enjoyable tour.

I enjoyed this tour very much! The hotels were of the great quality, the tour guide was very intelligent and information he provided was very interesting. Visited great places in Turkey - highlights for me were a cruise in Antalya, ballooning in Cappadocia, and a Bosphorus river cruise. Definitely good value for money! Thank you!

A very enjoyable tour which we thought was very good value. I would suggest though that it is a tour for those with a particular interest in the historical aspects of Turkey
I did become a little tired of ruins and mosques. I would have liked to enjoy the hotels and surrounding areas more but our arrival time did not always make this possible -perhaps ...read more fewer included sights late in the afternoon. Hotels were excellent although, surprisingly, I thought the included dinners were sometimes disappointing, especially the Movenpick. Overall we had a great time and the services of Global Journeys, in particular, Yvonne have been excellent.

We had a wonderful trip with a very well organised tour director who made adjustments to our itinerary to enable us all to get the most out of the places we visited. Our tour was very interesting, educational and fun!! Our bus was comfortable, our coach assistant considerate and helpful and we always felt safe with our driver in some rather unusual ...read more and busy traffic situations. We cannot speak highly enough of our tour director, Tolga, whose insight and knowledge, as well as his sense of humour ensured our time in Turkey will provide us with many wonderful memories. We also appreciate the time and effort of our Global Journey's contact, Georgie, who made all arrangements go so smoothly. Dealing with her eliminated the stress which can sometimes be part of overseas travel!

This was the best tour I have had - excellent guide in Charlie; the best hotels and food and a great experience of Turkey with the modern and ancient ruins. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

We enjoyed the tour itinerary, but found that the air conditioning in some hotels was not working correctly. The food quality and food service in the hotel at Cappadocia was very poor. The tour guide, Altay, was very good at his job.
