Turkey Travel Review: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, 10 Nights

Zicasso’s travel specialist and the team were amazing. They anticipated so many questions, needs, and issues and handled anything that came up promptly and efficiently. We loved the guides, choice of hotels, and all other recommendations. We were entirely pleased with them and would definitely use them in the future.

Turkey, Georgia Travel Review: Cappadocia, Konya, Hierapolis, Travertine Terraces, Sirince, Ephesus, Istanbul, 20-Day Trip

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The hotels were exactly as described, the guides, overall, were very good (a couple were exceptional and only one was rather disappointing), and all the travel arrangements worked seamlessly. Throughout our time in Turkey, the Turkish affiliate checked in on us on a very regular basis and was available on a couple of occasions when we had questions.

Turkey, Greece Tour Review: Istanbul, Urla, Cappadocia, Meteora, Santorini, Grand Bazaar, Basilica Cistern, Local Cuisine, 2 Weeks

This trip was amazing! Zicasso's travel company took care of every detail. They created a wonderful itinerary and coordinated it seamlessly. They communicated with us all along the way; there was absolutely nothing amiss from the first day to the last.

Our accommodations were wonderful. Our guides were top-notch, incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, and all very enjoyable people. They felt like friends almost immediately! Each of them went above and beyond to make sure our experiences were everything we hoped for and more! Our drivers were attentive and professional as well.

We're seasoned travelers, but we couldn't possibly have planned and executed this trip on our own. We're so appreciative of the travel company's excellent staff and services. They created a trip that we'll remember forever.

Turkey Travel Review: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, Bodrum, Hot-Air Balloon Ride, 11 Nights

Zicasso’s tour operator created a terrific itinerary for us... just exactly what we were looking for. All the logistics worked out very smoothly. Our guides were excellent and we were very pleased with the accommodations. The trip was very professionally put together and well executed.

One small piece of feedback: We were surprised we never heard from the travel specialist or anyone from the tour operator during our trip. All the communication was through our guides, which, in our experience, is not typical.
