Everything was very nice, the wonderful excursions, the unbeatable hotel, It is worth the early morning of the 2 days because since you are going you have to get on the hot Air balloon yes or yes
Trip started badly as I was unwell and spent the first day recovering. The course leader (Alkan) was helpful and arranged for the bus to take me to meet up with the other members of the group. I was coughing a lot when I started but this got better and i was alright by the end of the walk. Another "patient" was helped in the same way. The group was 17 strong and this took all his resources.
Great trip which started in Istanbul, we had two different guides on day 1 and day 2. The first one was nice but didn’t introduce himself to us, which was a disappointment we walked and picked up others along the way to Topkapi Palace, which was extremely busy as our guide said two cruise ships were in port, which made the queues long (including toilets) and we didn’t have time to see everything. Second guide was excellent, Adul (sorry may be wrong) very informative with maps to explain our trip along the Boshporus, guided us through spice bazaar and how to use the team. After our flight to Kayseri we were warmly greeted by our driver Okan (also our disc jockey) and guide Ali, who were both friendly and knowledgeable on what we were seeing and answering our questions. We were a group of four and we had the mini bus to ourselves so felt very personal. Had a bit of trouble with mini bus which was sorted out overnight, Okan and Ali had much longer days than us ⭐️ This was our first tour to Turkey which gave us a very small glimpse of the country. All hotels were excellent but the Fresco Cave Suites were amazing, we were upgraded which included our own sauna room, lovely friendly staff and amazing breakfast, thank you Volkan. We would recommend this tour and want to see more of Turkey. We were four women travelling and felt safe and respected wherever we went.
