Suitable company, punctual. He is very concerned about the safety of the traveler. Always keep in touch on the routes. Educated Guides
Travel Tips made my trip through Cappadocia, Pamukkale, and Ephesus absolutely seamless and memorable. From the very first contact, communication was easy, fast, and genuinely friendly — which already sets them apart. What I appreciated most was how personalized the entire itinerary felt. It never felt like a “standard tour,” but rather a trip carefully designed around my interests, pace, and travel style. A special shoutout to Osman, who truly goes above and beyond. From helping me orient myself the moment I arrived in Istanbul, to sharing practical tips like where to eat well and where to exchange money safely — his support felt more like traveling with a knowledgeable local friend than working with an agency. If you’re looking for a travel agency that combines professionalism, flexibility, local insight, and a great human touch, Travel Tips is the one. I’d 100% travel with them again — and recommend them without hesitation!
This was a great tour and I had so much fun! Tahsin is a fantastic coordinator and had great communication from when I booked the tour even to when I got back to my home country. I absolutely recommend this tour if you want a mix of self guided and guided tours daily with some time at the end of the days to rest and/or explore on your own.
It's a memorable trip for me and my family. The arrangement and timing of the programs were good even though the Tour Guides on the trip were different person everyday. Of all 4 guides, Selman (2nd day guide at Cappadocia) was voted as our best guides. Very informative and willing to help us to take photo from the best spots. Our hotel stay at Hera Cave Hotel @Cappadocia and Ilayda Avantgarde @Kusadasi were excellent. 4-day to cover Cappadocia-Pamukkale-Ephessus seems a bit cramp, but was OK for us. Wish that we can stay longer in Turkey as there's a lot more to see.
Excellent organization, our reference person Tahsin really helpful, good guides, tour overall very positive. Only small note, visits not mentioned in the program to facilities dedicated to shopping, which took away precious time to devote to the many interesting things to see.
Good Service, the itinerary is run as per schedule and very well managed. Tahsin is very helpful, has been answering to all of my question nicely, he speak good English.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Everything was carefully planned & well taken care of by Mr.Tahsin from Travel Tips. We had zero issues with our tours or the trip, & given his response time, even if there was an issue, there probably won’t be much to worry about anyway! From recommending places to visit on tours, to getting the ideal baggage size, they are well versed with every aspect of this, & we never had to worry about anything during the trip! And not to mention, the kind & friendly engagement from Mr.Tahsin certainly ensured that we were in safe hands. Adding to that, he kept in touch with us during the entire trip, constantly checking on our needs. This was one of the many great things about him. Even in PCR test we were stress free cause we know there was someone who is nearby & will help us out definitely. Thank you so much Mr.Tahsin for everything you have done for us😊 Travel Tips certainly delivers a marvelous service & we would highly recommend Travel Tips to everyone who are visiting to turkey 🇹🇷
This was a great 4 day experience to see some of the most beautiful parts of Turkey if you are limited on time. The tour company seems to really care about your experience and they take care of all of the details for you so all you have to do is show up! I had two different tour guides for the trip and they were both very helpful and knowledgeable about the history and area. I especially liked my guide and driver in Cappadocia. (I’m horrible at names and unfortunately cannot remember them) I chose the 3 star hotels and was very happy with all of them. Very friendly, clean, and lovely places. The most difficult part of this tour are the overnight bus rides and there were a few times you had to wait in town for a few hours for your bus to come. But this gives you plenty of time to explore towns you might not have been able to see and do some journaling. You can always leave your luggage at the bus stations. Overall I would definitely recommend this trip.
We're very happy to have found this agency! We enjoyed the tours and had an incredible experience. Tahsin was the one who coordinated all of our flights, transfers and even made a specific plan to accommodate every detail we wanted included for this trip! We'll definitely book again with them next time!
Amazing tours. Everyone was so helpful and nice and made all the necessary accommodations even with all the Covid restrictions the tour was a success and will definitely do it again. As a solo female traveler I was really nervous but since leaving Istanbul to Cappadocia and back everything was smooth, the tours were exceptional and I felt safe the whole time. Besides they were so helpful even after the tour finished and recommended things to do in Istanbul. I will definitely come back to them for the future. Thank you
