    The tour was excellent, the boat cruise was definitely the highlight of the trip! Our guide Aykut was awesome and had information on everything! The itinerary was good, we saw a decent amount of Turkey! Definitely would recommend for solo travellers or couples!

    To begin,we feel that we should shower praises on Mustafa Kurt of Travel Talk tours,-our wonderful, kind, caring and efficient tour guide: the best in my 6 decades of travel in all modes.A great combination of facts, humor,helpfulness and always there for our diverse group. The itinerary included long days-some 8 hours on the bus. Wish all the fans were working in the intense heat.The below deck cabins on the gulet were sweltering on some 100 degree F (40+C) days. Our driver was a careful and smooth one, making it easier for us to overcome all those hairpin turns. My 16 y o grandson and I, 80, are so grateful for the opportunity. Again, Mustafa is the best of the best!

    I felt the group was to large at 41. Also, stood at hotels with subpar and the Gulet cruise cabins did not have aircon, at 43C it was unbearable to sleep in the cabin. The guide should also provide more context at each local.

    I recently completed the ‘Amazing Turkey by Gulet’ and it really was just that - amazing! The 3 days on the Gulet were very easily the highlight (excluding the hot air balloons in Cappadocia of course!) and I would highly recommend this option if you are given a choice!A big contributor to the Gulet being a highlight was the size of the group - a small group of 15 meant everyone got a chance to get to know each other and everyone got along really well!! The size of the overall group was quite overwhelming at times and made it difficult to get to know everyone. The amount of travel time was also very underwhelming and the food stops at service stations weren’t exactly what I expected from Turkish cuisine. Despite these minor flaws, the trip was incredible and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

    I can't recommend the Amazing Turkey By Gulet trip enough. I had the best time, a great mix of intense sightseeing and chilling on a sailboat! Most credit, however must go to our amazing guide Yavuz/Kev! He was all round amazing, his knowledge, constant positivity, and genuine care for us all really made this trip super special! Thanks for an awesome trip Kev - we love you!

    I'v done three Travel Talk Tours now (Morocco, Egypt and Turkey). All breathtaking experiences, there is no way to compare as people usually ask me 'which one did you like the most?' or 'which tour do you recommend?' My usual response is 'you just have to do them all!' The guides really made sure the tours were engaging, fun, captivating and they all went out of their way to accommodate everybody's needs. They were very knowledgeable in their content and not to mention passionate about their countries which I believed allowed the group to become more engulfed in the experiences and history. I've been with many travel companies and I highly recommend Travel Talk out of all of them. It's an experience you won't regret!

    Turkey by Gulet an incredible 12 day trip only made possible by our guide for the trip Yavuz Kirikci, better known around the world as "Kev". Turkey is an amazing place to visit with the tour having a fantastic balance between travel and holiday (3 nights on the Gulet). Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a really local and authentic Turkish experience

    I have just returned from a 12 day tour of Turkey. I cannot fault my experience in any way. We had the most amazing tour guide and the itinerary allowed us to see so much of the beautiful country. From the moment we landed at the airport to the moment we flew out, Travel Talk took care of everything and insured we had an amazing trip!
