El autocar, el guia i els hotels en general estan bé. Les visites als llocs d'interès són massa curtes en general. Sempre s'ha de menjar on marca el guia. Generalment llocs on no es menjava massa bé i amb poca tria. Ens va enfadar que el dia de la Capadoccia, ens van donar només 20' per veure Uchisar, i no veure el castell, tampoc ens van portar a la Vall de Pasabag. En canvi si que hi havia temps per visitar un taller de catifes i una joieria!!!. No repetirem. Translate this opinion into English.

The coach, guide and hotels are generally good. Visits to places of interest are generally too short. You must always eat where the guide indicates. Generally places where the food was not very good and with little choice. We were angry that on the day of Cappadocia, they gave us only 20' to see Uchisar, and not to see the castle, nor did they take us to the Pasabag Valley. On the other hand, there was time to visit a carpet workshop and a jewelry store!!!. We will not repeat. Opinion translated. Show original.

Bel tour con ottima guida e hotel di buona qualità. Lunghissimi spostamenti in pullman e troppe visite ad atelier “artigiani”, non rimane mai tempo libero (Izmir si visita autonomamente dopocena, Pamukkale ed Efeso si vedono troppo di corsa). Il pick-up iniziale è lentissimo, avrei preferito raggiungere da sola il luogo dell'incontro con la guida a un orario stabilito. Per creare più coesione nel gruppo (dove sono frequenti arrivi e partenze) avrei preferito cene sedute e non sempre a buffet.

Il tour è andato bene L'unica pecca che non abbiamo visitato la Casa di Maria perché ci è stato detto che era piccola e non c'era nulla, ma questo lo dovevamo decidere noi visto che sulla descrizione doveva essere vista. Un po' delusi sulle piscine di Pamukkale Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was good. The only flaw was that we didn't visit the House of Mary because we were told it was small and there was nothing there, but we had to decide that since the description says it had to be seen. A little disappointed about the pools of Pamukkale Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy bien organizado. Los hoteles espectaculares. Lo que hay que destacar fue la predisposición, amabilidad, corrección, Y conocimiento del guía ORKUN .. EL FUE EL CORAZON DEL TOUR...nos trato como huésped suyos, nos explicó la historia de Turquia de modo sencillo y con un conocimiento extraordinario. Se armó un lindo grupo gracias a nuestro guía. Felicitaciones Orkun. Rita Translate this opinion into English.

Very well organized. The hotels were spectacular. What stood out was the willingness, kindness, accuracy, and knowledge of our guide, Orkun. He was the heart of the tour. He treated us like his guests, explaining the history of Turkey in a simple way and with extraordinary knowledge. A wonderful group was formed thanks to our guide. Congratulations, Orkun.

Lo positivo: Buen guía, bus cómodo y un conductor muy amable. Lo negativo: A menos que tengas interés en comprar alfombras, chaquetas de cuero o joyería (que en mi caso no fue) perderás tiempo en visitas innecesarias, ya que el tour incluye visita a "fábricas" en las que más que explicar el proceso se centra en vender lo q más puedan a los turistas. Experiencia en globo: Costo: 350 USD por la temporada, y la experiencia fue memorable pero caótica hubiese esperado más organización por ese precio. Translate this opinion into English.

Positives: Good guide, comfortable bus, and a very friendly driver. Negatives: Unless you're interested in buying rugs, leather jackets, or jewelry (which I wasn't), you'll waste time on unnecessary visits, as the tour includes a visit to "factories" where, rather than explaining the process, they focus on selling as much as they can to tourists. Balloon Experience: Cost: $350 for the season, and the experience was memorable but chaotic. I would have expected more organization for that price. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy buena actividad, pero nos sentimos utilizados como rebaño, al ser conducidos sin ser consultados a tres tiendas carísimas, de joyas, alfombras y cueros, en las que perdimos un tiempo valioso, que debió dedicarse a ver sitios de interés y no al intento de lucrar con los turistas. El día 6 no existe para quienes optamos por regresar en avión. La empresa debería devolvernos el importe de ese día. Translate this opinion into English.

A very good activity, but we felt like we were being herded into three very expensive jewelry, carpet, and leather stores without any consultation, where we wasted valuable time that should have been spent seeing the sights and not trying to profit from tourists. Day 6 doesn't exist for those of us who chose to return by plane. The company should refund us for that day. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tal y como me esperaba el viaje. Es la mejor opción si tienes pocos dias y quieres ver lo maximo posible, hay muchísima distancia entre los lugares de interes. Los hoteles algunos muy bien y otros confortables, comida tipo buffet. Muchos Km en carretera, comidas en carretera, poca cosa a escoger pero no hay otra opción, hay que parar. Durante el viaje se explicó curiosidades de Turquia y pinceladas de historia. No hay explicaciones densas. 2 paradas innecesarias pero sin obligación a compra. Translate this opinion into English.

The trip was exactly as I expected. It's the best option if you have only a few days and want to see as much as possible. The distance between the places of interest is immense. The hotels, some very good, others comfortable, and the food buffet-style. Many kilometers on the road, meals on the road, little to choose from, but there's no other option; you have to stop. During the trip, interesting facts about Turkey and hints of history were explained. There were no in-depth explanations. Two unnecessary stops, but no obligation to buy anything. Opinion translated.

La actividad fue muy interesante. Conocimos todos los sitios principales con un excelente guía, Orhan, muy conocedor del tema. Lo único frustrante fue la montada en globo porque no pudieron poner el globo en posición para volar. No sabemos si fue por mala suerte o falta de pericia del equipo de los globos. Los hoteles en general son buenos, los desayunos aceptables, los almuerzos no siempre los mejores pero entendemos que no es fácil en algunas zonas alejadas. Son trayectos en bus un poco largos Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was very interesting. We visited all the main sites with an excellent guide, Orhan, who was very knowledgeable about the subject. The only frustrating part was the balloon ride, as they couldn't get it into position for flight. We don't know if it was due to bad luck or a lack of skill on the part of the balloon crew. The hotels are generally good, the breakfasts are acceptable, and the lunches aren't always the best, but we understand that it's not easy in some remote areas. The bus rides are a bit long.

Ottima organizzazione generale. Ottima la guida (Ozhan) con buon italiano, sempre presente e molto preparato. Buoni gli hotel, sicuramente c'è di meglio, ma con buon rapporto qualità/prezzo (del tour). Gli spostamenti in autobus sono lunghi, ma inevitabile. Unico neo, alcune visite avrebbero necessitato più tempo, magari il tempo dedicato a visite presso centri di artigianato locali sarebbe da riallocare per estendere le visite. Comunque tour consigliatissimo.

Muchos kilómetros para ver muy poco. Te dan demasiado tiempo en las tiendas y poco en las visitas más importantes. Habría que suprimir las tiendas. El desayuno de los hoteles nada adaptado a los extranjeros. Es comida turca. Nada de comida occidental. Todos los días pollo de distintas formas. Las comidas no van incluidas pero tienes que comer dónde te dicen. El conductor muy bien, el guía explica lo básico. En general bien aunque no repetiria Translate this opinion into English.

Many miles to see very little. They give you too much time in the shops and not enough time for the most important visits. The shops should be eliminated. The hotel breakfasts are not at all adapted to foreigners. It's Turkish food. No Western food. Chicken in different forms every day. Meals are not included, but you have to eat where they tell you to. The driver was very good, the guide explained the basics. Overall, it was good, although I wouldn't repeat. Opinion translated.

El tour está muy bien pero quitaría Ankara. Se pierde un día entero en ir en autobús en el que no se ve nada, llegas al hotel y tras cenar te acuestas. Sugiero no ir a Ankara o durante ese día haya visitas a algún sitio interesante. Hoteles muy buenos (en Capadocia con piscina y gimnasio gratis) con cena y desayuno buffet. Abdullah fue un gran guía, incluso ayudó a mi familia cuando tuvimos problemas médicos durante el viaje. Lo valoro 10/10 como profesional y como persona. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour is very good but I would skip Ankara. It takes a whole day to go by bus where you don't see anything, you arrive at the hotel and after dinner you go to bed. I suggest not going to Ankara or during that day there are visits to any interesting places. Very good hotels (in Cappadocia with free pool and gym) with dinner and buffet breakfast. Abdullah was a great guide, he even helped my family when we had medical problems during the trip. I rate him 10/10 as a professional and as a person. Opinion translated. Show original.

Viaje muy bien organizado,la empresa marmara muy seria, atenta . Hoteles todos 4/5 estrellas,es un viaje largo,muchas horas de bus, levantarse temprano etc....pero realmente vale vale la pena,el viaje es increíble y hacen las paradas necesarias . Nuestro grupo era pequeño 16/18 personas,eso seguramente contribuyó a que aún fuese más cómodo. Muy bien el guía Orhan y el conductor del bus Alí. Translate this opinion into English.

The trip was very well organised, the Marmara company was very serious and attentive. All the hotels were 4/5 stars. It was a long trip, many hours on the bus, getting up early, etc. But it was really worth it. The trip was incredible and they made the necessary stops. Our group was small, 16/18 people, which surely contributed to making it even more comfortable. The guide Orhan and the bus driver Ali were very good. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tour dal 21 al 26 agosto 2024. Mi dispiace dare questo voto. I siti visitati molto interessanti e gli hotel molto confortevoli. Segnalo le motivazioni del mio giudizio: - ad Efeso non è stata svolta la visita alla casa di Maria. Secondo la guida il ns programma non era aggiornato - il bus non aveva WiFi come prevsito - la guida, un po' avanti con l'età, si è dimostrata spesso impreparata, anche dal punto di vista linguistico, e inadatta al ruolo (commenti e allusioni razzisti non sono mancati)

I travelled with my partner

Le guide fanno del loro meglio per vivacizzare i contenuti del tour cercando la complicità del gruppo con una battuta o un commento personale. Ci dispiace che questo, in particolare, sia stato eccessivo in questo o in altri aspetti. Continueremo a lavorare per migliorare, anche sotto l'aspetto organizzativo.

Alberghi molto confortevoli, in particolare il Dinler,mentre pessimo è risultato il Polat di Karahayit (5 stelle!), sporco, puzzolente, rovinato,portasciugamani staccato dalla parete,niente doccia,vasca rotta,sporca di capelli e di sangue raggrumito,asciugamani a brandelli, insetti in camera,colazione con cibo scadente. Guida con italiano impreciso e a volte incomprensibile,approssimativo e sbrigativo nelle descrizioni dei luoghi, pigro. Viaggio molto bello nel complesso. Translate this opinion into English.

Very comfortable hotels, especially the Dinler, while the Polat in Karahayit was terrible (5 stars!), dirty, smelly, ruined, towel rack detached from the wall, no shower, broken tub, dirty with hair and congealed blood, towels in tatters, insects in the room, breakfast with poor food. Guide with imprecise and sometimes incomprehensible Italian, approximate and hasty in describing places, lazy. Very nice trip overall. Opinion translated. Show original.

El Tour estuvo bueno en general. El guía Sergio ecxvelente, muy informativo, siempre dispuesto a resolver dudas y a que todo salga lo mejor posible! Los Hoteles son 5 estrellas pero parecen de 4 y varios de 3. El Hotel de Capadoccia no tenia aire acondicionado y hacia calor. Los paradas para los almuerzos son en restaurantes de carretera y la comida en la mayoria no es buena. Hay tramos largos en bus de 6-7 horas, con lo cual uno pierde todo el dia, pero esto esta decrito en el itinerario. Translate this opinion into English.

The Tour was good in general. The guide Sergio ecxvelente, very informative, always willing to answer questions and make sure everything goes as well as possible! The Hotels are 5 stars but they seem to be 4 and several are 3. The Hotel in Capadoccia did not have air conditioning and it was hot. The stops for lunch are at roadside restaurants and the food in most of them is not good. There are long bus stretches of 6-7 hours, which means you lose the entire day, but this is described in the itinerary. Opinion translated. Show original.
