    We are so grateful to Eskapas for organizing our tour from Istanbul to Canakkale! Everything promised was delivered perfectly. All transfers were on time, in excellent condition, and had great drivers! A special thank you to the guides—they made the stories fun and fascinating, packed with interesting facts. The groups were small, so everyone got to listen and participate. My husband and I were thrilled!

    The tour was very well organized and offered a fantastic experience. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and the itinerary was well-balanced with both structured activities and free time. The hotels were comfortable, though not exceptional. The meals were good, but I had hoped for a bit more variety. Despite these minor issues, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend it to others.

    Our driver was incredibly attentive and professional. Every stop on the itinerary was rich with history, and I’ve lost count of the ancient civilizations we learned about. The guides taught us so much, and I can't thank them enough. Definitely join this tour!

    I give the gold medal of the tour to driver Mehmet. He did his job as a driver to the best of his ability. Besides, he kept trying to make sure that there was no mishap in the tour. I thank him on behalf of the group. Apart from that, the hotels were not bad. Traveling and learning are more important for me than hotels. That's why I am not a good hotel evaluator, but they were quite clean and comfortable. Eskapas did a good job. I recommend it.
