    I think paste of this tour was a little bit too fast and I would skip or shorten Gallipoli section. Also, overnight bus ride was not the best experience.

    I am a 63 yr old woman who travelled by myself and can say that I have never been more stressed and exhausted after a holiday. The brochure states that we travel through this beautiful country , implying more than one person, in reality I was a single person travelling and not in a group as expected. I never saw anybody from Alaturka tours, everything was sub contracted out. In the brochure it stated 15 nights accommodation, in reality it was was 9 night accommodation, in which I payed an extra £694.32 for the privilege as a solo traveller. 13 nights if you include the shared cabin on the gullet cruise. It stated one over night bus and had to endure two 12 hours on a public bus overnight by myself on public transport with nobody speaking English. I had no company to go out with in the evening for meals in restaurants so ended up snacking in my hotel rooms. Two of the hotels: TJs in Canakkle (1/2 star) and Bayrams in Olympus was a hostel with just a wooden cabin as accommodation. I should have been dropped of in Selcuk for my accomodation one night but the coach driver took me to Kusadisi , he tried to kick me off the bus and get a taxi as he was late for his next pick up. Was dropped off at Debaklar hotel where I had no reservation where reception got through to Alaturka and I eventually stayed the night (again hotel was not in centre of Kusadisi. on both overnight buses, dropped off at 7am I could not get into my accommodation until 1pm in Cappadoccia, and 11am in Fathyia. The Gullet cruise at the end was occupied by 20 to 30 year olds that partied day and night for 3 days, from 10am to 2pm the following morning. I kept asking for a detailed itinerary as it had changed from the one sent just prior to going on this holiday and finally got one after repeatedly asking on the 13th September. I have had a dreadful experience and I plan to put this review on social media if I do not get recompensed for a harrowing journey. Amanda Almond

    Recommended tour for people who wants to explore Turkey. Gullet cruise is awesome! Transportation and accommodations are well organized from beginning to end. This tour is really great value for money. Maybe a flexible option to spend a night or spend the evening in Kas, Demre while on the cruise would be nice. An option to stay for another night in Canakkale, Fetihye, and Cappadocia would also be great as well.
