    Overall the tour was great!. The transportation through out the tour was excellent. Pick up and drop off was always on time. Turkey trip would have been much better with a different guide. Our guide (OZ) was seemed disinterested through out the whole process. We had to google everything. Hotels in Turkey were good except cave hotel in Cappadocia (Not worth the upgrade). We were put in a room across the street from main hotel. The door to the room was covered in vomit. We told the reception and expected it to be cleaned but when we came back in evening it was still there. Very disappointing and disgusting since we paid extra for this hotel. Also the hotels that we had in Turkey and Greece were further away from the city center and required lots of walking or some kind of transportation. Some areas were not safe to walk at night. The hotels should be close city center. Greece over all was good but we should have been given an option to take flight from island to island because we wasted almost 2 days in Ferry. Our Liaison Jenny in Mykonos was very organized and gave us options and advise. While that was not the case in Samos and Santorini.

    Eskapas set us up with a wonderful itinerary: exploring Turkey and Greece on the same trip was once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... From the ancient sights of Istanbul and Athens to the natural marvels of Cappadocia and the breathtaking views of Santorini, I and my wife loved every part of this itinerary. Hotels are 4-stars and the guides and drivers were Top! The trip is managed in 3 parts (1) Fully escorted Turkey part you are with a guide and a group of 18-20 travelers. Everythings is managed successfully by our guide Nadi. (2) Island Hopping Part It was completely private except for some of our group also followed us but we crossed only during transfer. (3) Athens part Athens city tour was guided and we were part of a new group. Every step was well documented and the communication with Eskapas Travel was easy. We strongly recommend it.

    We like to visit cultural places and both Turkey and Greece are truly packed with it! Our guide in Turkey, Nadir was very informative, approachable, helpful, and nice to be with who made our time very enjoyable shared with us in detail about each place we visited. Our Turkey part was fully escorted while on Greek islands we were almost on our own on the beach. That's why I would recommend this tour which is well balanced between visits and relaxed time on the beach. The overall arrangements were fantastic and the experiences we had was truly an amazing one which we won't forget ever

    Really enjoyed the trip! Would give 4.5 stars if I could. Everything was very well put together and coordinated. I think the only thing that would’ve been nice is knowing ahead of time that some of the location specific people preferred speaking Spanish (wouldve practiced more before I went). And receiving some of the transportation information more ahead of time (pickup times etc) Other than that everything was great!

    Excellent tour! Nadir, the tour guide for Turkey was such a kind, loving person, professional and very knowledge about the history of the Turkey. The islands in Greece are on your own. No tour guide. Everything was planned well. Ferry tickets were provided to hotel in Envelope! Overall great tour.

    This is really two tours combined. The first half is a deep dive into Turkey, it's history and culture. It is packed full of experiences and sights. Accomodation, meals and transport are all excellent but the real gem was our guide. Nadir was incedibly knowledgeable, passionate and helpful. The second half of the tour, The Greek Isles, is a real change of pace. While there are always transfers to and from ferries and resorts beyond that you are on your own to simply relax and enjoy yourself. The resorts were spectacular abd the transfers were great.
