    The tour guide was very focused on the history of Turkey and was rushing us. We had to stay a couple of extra days to revisit some places for the culture and the ambience

    Yes the tour was excellent - it was a great experience for me! Tour guide Mr. Haider is very dedicated to his job. He is very organized, everything were well planned and he explained each tour very precisely. He put personal attention to each member of our tour group. I enjoyed the tour with Mr. Haider & with Neon tour. Driver Mohammed is exceptionally courteous & sweet person - always smiling & gave us comfort. Excellent driver! I recommend Tourradar to many of my friends ‘

    The worst hotel was Crowne Plaza Ankara Hotel. The bellboys were lazy. No aircon, food was terrible, room was low class considering I paid more than the others, toilet was blocked and broken top, bed was hard. I can’t believe you put me in this old room with broken toilet. No response from the reception to fix things. But the whole tour was great only there was no toilet break on first and 2nd day until I told the guide. He was good, knowledgeable and helped everyone. The only restaurant that I liked outside was the Obam and the farewell late lunch in Istanbul.

    We were a family of 5 (age range of 30-60y/o). The accommodation, transportation and meals included were great. The hotels are comfortable and clean. The bus is always kept clean and our driver was very professional. The itinerary though can be improved: there were a lot of those “tourist-shops” from carpet to pottery (which were sort of okay because there was a cultural aspect to it. But the jewelry and worst, the leather jacket place were a waste of time. And due to these shop-visiting: our time at certain (beautiful) sites like the Ephesus and Hierapolis were cut short and not enough. The most disappointing were the optional tours: we tried both the 4x4 ride in cappadocia (due to inavailability of hot air balloon) and hot air balloon in pamukkale (which they were charging 185usd)—WASTE OF MONEY!!! We had a HORRIBLE experience wherein we landed in the middle of nowhere of a farm land, and we had to walk for 2.5km IN MUD. Apparently this unfortunate thing happens, yet our guide did not warn us about this prior to the ride. So we did not know what we were getting ourselves into when we signed up. Our guide Gökce was very knowledgeable on historical facts, but she can definitely improve on her listening, people skills, social skills and definitely, customer service. When we had complains or concerns, she would not listen most of the time or answer that “she cannot do anything about it”. I did not have any problems though with my pre-booking with Neon Tours, it was very smooth and they were very responsive and accommodating. Turkey is such a beautiful country, and i feel like it could’ve been explored or discovered more. We would rate the overall experience as average.

    It went beyond my expectations. General concern on early starts and late days and seeing ' another Roman Ruin " and for me as an Australian, the gallipolli visit appeared very short and rushed ( but most on tour were not really that interested in it by the end of long day). But I am unsure how else to get through this rich itinerary as I did not wish a longer tour. Maybe participates in Tour need more understanding of 'demanding ' schedule prior to going. Also simple things like ' coffee and kettle ' in rooms are actually very important.

    Excellent arrangements by Neon Tours. The tour director was extremely knowledgeable and scheduled the itinerary very well so that we didn't miss a single item. Would highly recommend Classics of Turkey tour by Neon Tours for anyone looking to visit Turkey.

    It was too rushed and always on the move. We never got to spend any time even reading about it. He was pushing us way too fast. Never got to chill or shop. Definitely would have loved longer in Istanbul. Thankfully I spent a few extra days in ist and revisited the places again. He kept taking us to shop in the leather, carpet weaving and pottery places which was ridiculously expensive to shop. We heard he got a commission. None of us cd afford those places and couldn’t find the time to shop at different places either.ver disappointed with that.
