Just come back from amazing 8 days in Turkey booked with Encounters Travel in UK and locally with Fez travel and guide Goksu. What a fantastic and varied country Turkey is. Istanbul is a very clean and safe city. Afterwards we visited Ephesus, Pamukkale, Hierapolis and Cappadocia. Goksu was a great guide - so knowledgeable and he also helped the whole trip run smoothly. We loved our cave hotel - "Gamirasu". April is a perfect time to visit.

We had a great experience with our two tour guides: Mehmet in Pamakkule/Ephesus and Suleyman in Cappadocia. Flights & accommodations were easily coordinated and well scheduled. We knew exactly where to go and where to be at specific times. Provided meals were delicious and very filling and the guides provided great recommendations for dinner when requested. This experience was packed with a ton of information and a lot of different sights to see - be prepared for the fast pace and long days!

Be aware this is compressed program including 4 flights, pickup at 4AM on Day1, and then arrive the hotel at 1AM on Day2 night (arrived at Cappadocia airport at 10:30PM, then waited in transfer bus about one hour to fill the bus full, took 1.5+ hours from airport to the cave hotel).
Enjoyed Day 1 and Day 2, the guide was knowledgeable and stick with program itinerary; however, the guide for Day 4 was more interested in pottery and carpet stores rather than what were listed in itinerary. We were in the pottery store one hour longer than the itinerary, then the guide decided to skip "Three beauties" -- they are the official symbol of both Urgup and Cappadocia. Suggest you to print out the detail itinerary with time slots, to make sure you get what you have paid for.

Great professional tour company. I had a great time on this trip and I was very impressed with the tour company. They always arrived on time to pick me up, were very accessible via whatsapp, and were very friendly. My tour guides Orman and Birck were pleasant and had a Turkish diploma in tourism so they knew their stuff.
Cappadocia was the highlight of the trip and I recommend you pay extra for the hot air balloon ride. It was magical!

We were very excited for this trip. There is so much to see in Turkey. Positively, we enjoyed the sights. All were worth the trip. Our guides on the ground did a great job. Very hospitable and knowledgeable. Hotels were very good. Viator was responsive to emails and questions throughout the tour. Negatively, this is not a trip for an unseasoned travelled. It is a bit tiring over the four days. The fourth day tour was a bit redundant. The farther into Turkey we travelled, the more difficult the communication. We had some difficulties with arranged transport coming back to Istanbul. I did not get helpful responses to my email requests regarding this issue. Overall, amazing sites that were worth any issues we had.
