Our first time in Turkey was AMAZING, exceeded our expectations in so many ways. All the places We visited were absolutely beautiful, the hospitality, the culture, the people are super nice. The Jeepsafari in Cappadoccia, the hot air balloons in Pamukkale, THE TURKISH BATH and the Galata tower are highly recommended. WE WANT TO GO BACK!!! Alí was our private tour guide and He was excellent. He's very nice, professional and knowledgeable (and very patient with my girls and I lol We didn't stop talking and singing) Our designated driver was very friendly as well and polite. Overall, AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE! MARAVILLOSO! ????????

An excellent private tour by Neon Tours. Our guide, Ozcan (a university professor), was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The pacing was perfect and with the tranfers and lunch provided, this really was the best (and most reasonable) way to see the main sights of Istanbul. I followed previous reviewers and declined the visits to the spice and rug shops. Skip the Grand Bazaar (a most disappointing maze of knock-off merchandise) and shop down the local streets which have many charming quality items you actually do want to buy.

We had a great time! We want to come back to Turkey in the winter because we are in love with the country now. :) We really enjoyed all the places we visited and would like to travel back to spend more time exploring - especially in Cappadocia and the big cities. All the people we met were wonderful and our guides were excellent. We especially LOVED our first two. They were the nicest and most fun people to spend time with- it was like being on vacation with friends. We didn't want to go home! We will definitely do another Eskapas tour in Greece or Turkey on our next trip so I will reach out to you again in a few months when we are ready to book. Thanks for all your help! We really appreciated it.
