    After a great research of the best for value tour in Turkey, I found out this one offered by Dorak tours. It had in interesting plan and good reviews, so even if I didn't know the company before, I finally decided to book it, also because of first good assistence of Mrs Betul from the local office. Then, with the high appreciated assistence also of Mrs Sevval from the office I was again convinced of my choise, but when the tour finally starts, I really could realize that it was above my expectations, thanks to all the staff. The organization of all is of a premium level, also the hotels quality, but what really has made difference where the other people with us, I mean the driver Mustafa and the unique tour guide Can Demir, that with his passion for his work make me love all the places I visited, that become even more special thanks his explanations and commitment. Pamukkale & Cappadocia that where my dream to visit from years, are really worth the trip, but also other places where really beatiful as Ephesus, Troy and Dardanelli, however don't forget the amazing stops also in the fascinating sea of Turquoise Coast. Istanbul is magic, but I really recommend all the sites offered by this tour, and if Your guide would be Mr Can D., You can be aware to gain the best view off all, with best quality and value for money.

    I traveled with my family. I did not know Turkey has such a great history. And the sea :) Troy's history really impressed me. It is a real war story. All the historical places were the same as old version. They are looking really good to their history. And especially the sea in the Blue Lagoon was magnificent. OMG! I didn't want to leave the sea!!

    Turkey was one of my most anticipated destinations ever. Espacially Istanbul, which was ever so vibrant and different. Dorak totally helped us experience Turkey to the fullest. Be it the vehicle transfers, restaurants, museums, and guides, everything regarding our trip was meticulously organized. The Aegean region as a whole was one of the most beautiful places I've ever witnessed, and I highly recommend it. Dorak Tours helped us have a laid back holiday, which we will remember forever.
