Jonathan· October 26th, 2024We went on a tour of Türkiye (Essential Turkey, 10 days) with Travel Talk, October 5-14, 2024. This was our first time using Travel Talk, but we will definitely go with them again. I have to start by talking about our guide, Yildiray. He was simply the best guide anyone could ask for. He was extremely well organized, friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and fun. He went above and beyond every day. He gave us good information about the places we visited, but also gave us very good recommendations for local food. When we stopped at restaurants for lunch, he was our waiter by taking our orders, and delivering our food. All of this helped everyone build great relationships throughout the trip. By the end, we were sad it was over. As for the other aspects of the trip, I have only good things to say about it. All the hotels were good, the food at the hotels was good, and the locations of the hotels was good, which allowed us access to stroll around the neighborhoods and sometimes visit local shops. The tour bus was very comfortable, and was driven by two excellent drivers who switched driving throughout. We had frequent stops when there were long distances so that we did not feel too tired. I was impressed with the amount of planning, organization, and information provided to us at every step. This was one of the most enjoyable tours we have been on, and I highly recommend Travel Talk, and especially our guide, Yildiray!Show moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewHi Jonathan, thank you for sharing your fantastic experience on the Essential Turkey tour!

- Courtney· April 18th, 2024Mustafa was a fantastic tour guide ("Essential Turkey - 10 days"). I think he showed us far more over a week and a half than we could have ever seen on our own. He explained everything very thoroughly, with humor, and answered any questions we had. He also made sure to help us with any problems that arose throughout the trip. We never had to worry about transportation as we rode in a comfortable, air-conditioned bus the entire time. Hotel selection was top-notch; all hotels included clean rooms, free Wi-Fi and complimentary breakfast/dinner.Show moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewHi Courtney, thank you for your wonderful review!

- Sarah· April 2nd, 2024A good tour with lots of things to see. Mustafa is a fantastic tour guide and really looked out for us all. We got unlucky with not being able to do the hot air balloons in cappadocia (too windy) but managed to go up in Pamukkale (which was incredible!). Mustafa got this all sorted for us as well as ensuring we had the best experience with visiting the sites. Hotel wise, some good hotels, some a bit rough around the edges! Be mindful a 4/5* in Turkey isn’t the same as other parts of the world!!Show moreTravel Talk commented on this reviewHi Sarah, thank you for your review!
