See Cappadocia, Ephesus, and Pamukkale in four busy days with flights, hotels, guides, meals, and transfers from Istanbul.

“Let me start by praising the guides I had on this four day tour. There were two different guides on the two days in Cappadocia (April 14-15), both well informed with excellent language skills. For the days in Ephesus and Pamukkale (April 16-17) we had one guide, Mert, who was exeptional. He gave us a lot of information and history distributed in bite-sized amounts over the days. He kept us all on track and kept the mood light and fun. The locations were stunning both naturally and historically. The hotels were excellent. I had a problem at the end with the pick up and return to my hotel in Istanbul…”

Review of a fast-paced four-day Turkey tour covering Pamukkale, Ephesus, Cappadocia, flights, hotels, meals, and an optional balloon ride.

“We had used Viator Tours on many occasions in the past and had a positive experience on all of them. So this qualifies as our most disappointing experience with Viator. The Local contractor used by Viator was poor. For example, the two day tour in Cappadocia was further subcontracted out. It resulted in us being scheduled for the same Green tour on both days because there was no communication between the two sub-Contractors. Vehicles used were on varying standards and some were of distinctly poor quality; for example in Ephesus. The entire vehicle was fully packed, the seats were filthy, two of us had to squeeze in front with the…”

Tour guides were amazing. Don’t ever miss the balloon flight. Ephesus ruins, Cappadocia rock formations, Pamukkale and Cleopatra pools should be a part of one’s itinerary. I find the Turks a very friendly people. Istanbul is an easy city to explore. Take the tram and ride the ferry with the locals. Eat where the locals eat. Great experience.”
