    I went in this tour as a solo traveler. There was 11 people in total, including myself. A range of families, couples, and solos. Such a great range of diverse people and made a lot of friends. Everything was so well organised throughout the whole trip. Including hot air balloon in Cappadocia. Definitely recommend staying in a cave hotel as well! There isn’t much free time to do your own thing, but that worked well for me. I enjoyed the structure and all activities included. Our tour guide Nilufer was amazing! So much knowledge and so helpful translating to the locals for us. Highly highly recommend this tour

    Absolutely Turkey Tour – A Fantastic Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing time on the Absolutely Turkey Tour! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and we got to experience the best of Turkey’s history, culture, and stunning landscapes. A huge shoutout to our incredible tour guide, Nilufar, who went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable trip. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for sharing Turkey’s rich history truly made the experience special. We learned so much and never felt rushed—she made every stop engaging and enjoyable. Our driver, Mehmetbay, was equally fantastic! His driving skills were top-notch, ensuring a smooth and safe journey across Turkey’s breathtaking roads. Always professional and friendly, he made sure we were comfortable at all times. The accommodations were great, though some nights were quite hot as the hotels couldn’t adjust the air conditioning settings. While that was a minor inconvenience, it didn’t take away from the overall experience—we still rate this tour a full 5 stars! If you’re looking for a well-planned, immersive, and hassle-free trip through Turkey, we highly recommend Absolutely Turkey Tour. Thank you, Nilufar and Mehmetbay, for making our journey unforgettable!

    Everything was well organized. We had a great guide who knew the history of Turkey during the 2nd World War. The places we went to were very impressive. The hotels were fine .we had a very comfortable bus with wifi during the whole trip.

    The tour guide was very knowledgable and the tour was well run. The only criticism I have is that when booking hotels or airport transfers above and beyond what’s in tour the company tries to get every penny out of you I example $130 airport Transfer versus $30 by tech cab.

    The itinerary was really fascinating, if somewhat demanding. It would be wonderful to have at least one rest day, and maybe less traveling. Except for the one in Cappadocia, which was obviously not a five-star hotel, but rather a three-star at best. The guide was highly informed and had a terrific sense of fun. Overall, a really wonderful tour!

    A good itinerary; the Turkish terrain was green, rugged, and ever-changing, making for ideal driving conditions. The guide was knowledgeable. The accommodation options were very decent, although I did not enjoy dinners. The buffet at some hotels was quite restricted.

    The experience has been very satisfactory in general, everything well organized and we have been able to see many things, it is very worthwhile. The hotels are good, the Cappadocia 5 * from 20 years ago (now 3 * maximum) could be improved. Bus and Guide very good, very close Ali and friendly. Very improvable point: visiting time in Pamukkale and Ephesus. (Ephesus 1.5h of visit counting entrance, explanations and "free" time, arriving at the hotel at 5:00 p.m., does not make sense) Very little time considering the importance.

    We had a delay in being picked up at the hotel, which we believe is possible, however, despite writing to WhatsApp to obtain information and find out if we could eat while we waited, we never received an answer. Just when we went to lunch, after almost two hours of waiting, the transport arrived. Otherwise all very well, but they should keep us informed about delays with a bit more clarity.
