The tour was outstanding. Excellent guides, comfortable lodging, comfortable transportation. We saw as much as we could absorb.
The first part of the Tour was Pamukkale & Ephesus. The Tour Guide Mr Mehmat & the the driver were at the airport on time to give a warm welcome. The Hierapolis & Pamukkale Thermal Ponds were beautiful to experience & Mr Mehmat ensured a good explanation of each place & monument. All locations along the bus route were also being informed about. The night halt at Efe Hotel along the sea side at Kuşadasi was a good surprise & comfortable stay. The wonders of Ephesus was heartwarming especially the 3D Museum is an astonishing experience- a must see. The tour to Pamukkale, Ephesus was very well managed meticulously planned to cover the important historical places. The stay at the Efe Hotel was indeed a cherry on the cake because of its sea side location. Mr Mehmet was curteous, cheerful & be extremely knowledgeable of the history and its chronological importance. His willingness to answer our questions made this tour an interactive and enriching experience. His photography skills helped us capture some beautiful memories. The second part of trip was Cappadocia. The tour to Capadocia was very well organised and managed for the duration of the visit. The stay in the Cave Hotel 1811 was an extremely beautiful and comfortable experience. The host were generous enough to look after us for even a small requirement. Ms Fatima during the tour of Cappadocia was found to be extremely confident and knowledgeable of the historical places planned during the visit. The gp was also given adequate time to visit the site and clarify any queries. The lady was generous and kind and was very friendly with the group. The lady knows her job and conducted the tour with utmost spirit. Overall an excellent experience thanks to the trip being well laid out & organised- whether the flight bookings, accommodations or touring. Freesia Travels did an amazing job with providing comfortable travel, good guides & drivers. Thank you

The whole experience was bad. We will put in a hotel in Cappadocia where the temperature was above hundred degree Fahrenheit without any air conditioning. Also, the hotel at Kusadasi was on a busy road with the room over the top of the road, which was very very noisy and loud I had paid for the premium package and was supposed to get a 4 or 5 star hotel. The only good thing was the driver and the guides they were real nice and knowledgeable. I think I should be reimbursed for the quality of the hotels. This is not the first time that I have used Viator, but this definitely will be the last time.
Just come back from amazing 8 days in Turkey booked with Encounters Travel in UK and locally with Fez travel and guide Goksu. What a fantastic and varied country Turkey is. Istanbul is a very clean and safe city. Afterwards we visited Ephesus, Pamukkale, Hierapolis and Cappadocia. Goksu was a great guide - so knowledgeable and he also helped the whole trip run smoothly. We loved our cave hotel - "Gamirasu". April is a perfect time to visit.

We had a great experience with our two tour guides: Mehmet in Pamakkule/Ephesus and Suleyman in Cappadocia. Flights & accommodations were easily coordinated and well scheduled. We knew exactly where to go and where to be at specific times. Provided meals were delicious and very filling and the guides provided great recommendations for dinner when requested. This experience was packed with a ton of information and a lot of different sights to see - be prepared for the fast pace and long days!

Beautiful sites to visit Very correct transport tram metro bus Taxi to avoid if possible Very large and pleasant airport
It's definitely worth a visit old and new chic and modern neighborhoods tradition and modernity
Be aware this is compressed program including 4 flights, pickup at 4AM on Day1, and then arrive the hotel at 1AM on Day2 night (arrived at Cappadocia airport at 10:30PM, then waited in transfer bus about one hour to fill the bus full, took 1.5+ hours from airport to the cave hotel). Enjoyed Day 1 and Day 2, the guide was knowledgeable and stick with program itinerary; however, the guide for Day 4 was more interested in pottery and carpet stores rather than what were listed in itinerary. We were in the pottery store one hour longer than the itinerary, then the guide decided to skip "Three beauties" -- they are the official symbol of both Urgup and Cappadocia. Suggest you to print out the detail itinerary with time slots, to make sure you get what you have paid for.
Great professional tour company. I had a great time on this trip and I was very impressed with the tour company. They always arrived on time to pick me up, were very accessible via whatsapp, and were very friendly. My tour guides Orman and Birck were pleasant and had a Turkish diploma in tourism so they knew their stuff. Cappadocia was the highlight of the trip and I recommend you pay extra for the hot air balloon ride. It was magical!
