    We had the most amazing experience on our recent tour to Turkey. From the moment we stepped of the plane the level of service that we experienced was amazing. Our tour guide Bora was a scholar and a gentleman. He knowledge of Turkish history was truly remarkable he told a captivating story of Turkeys history which left us wanting to know more. It was our first time visiting Turkey, it will not be our last. Start to finish amazing.

    I did NOT put excellent!!! It was good. Guides were average, not great. Too much unnecessary details. It is not necessary for the guides to talk just to fill up the time. Pickup on the first day could have been earlier to allow more time in the Grand Bazaar. We were supposed to spend more time at the G.Bazaar on the final day but it was closed. Obviously someone from Dorak should have known that it is always closed on Sundays. The visit to the salt lake was a waste of time and the lunch there was terrible as was the final dinner on the last day in Istanbul. Outside of those things, we had a nice time.

    I love Istanbul, Cappadocia the most. Istanbul is a very unique city with mixture of Asia and Europe, the city is lively, safe & clean. You can find many different kinds of foods, snack, sweet here and most of them are tasty. Cappadocia has very unique scenery that you cannot miss and the scenery you cannot find in another place. The hot air balloon is a must try activity and worth to ride although it costly than Egypt but trust me you won't regret after the ride, we ride in the early of the morning to see sunrise, the light shine slowly on the chimney look mountain, it looks really beautiful. After the ride we enjoy the celebration of sparkling juice&snack, we also get a certificate with our name from the Pilot & staff, this is unforgettable memories. I enjoy the shopping in Cappadocia as well, we found very good quality fashion leather with reasonable price, and quality good jewelry and pottery as well.
