Great tour, but please drop the sales pitch

We had a private party of 5. Metin was our tour guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable, funny. We enjoyed our tour including the introduction into rug weaving. Very interesting, but we did not appreciate the sales pitch after for both rugs and pottery. We did enjoy the authentic Turkish lunch.

Amazing Ephesus Private Tour

Our private tour, booked through Viator by Best Turkey Tour while on our April Enchanted Princess cruise starting from Kusadasi, was flawless—led by guide Nilay, we visited the Virgin Mary’s house, enjoyed a delicious lunch at Turkmen restaurant, and saw Ephesus. Nilay’s knowledge and flexible itinerary made this the perfect shore excursion with personalized, crowd-free exploration. Highly recommend Nilay and Best Turkey Tour via Viator for an unforgettable experience.

We had a wonderful experience with our guide Ayhan and driver Mr. Ahmed. Ayhan was very knowledgeable and kind and organized in sharing his experiences of Cappadocia. He was mindful of what our children would be interested in as well as the costs of each activity. We were able to tailor our day to exactly what we interested in with safe transportation and much knowledge shared. Communication and organization were very smooth as well. Would highly recommend!

Great tour with a nice guide

The trip was very well arranged and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I think best part of the trip was that the personalized experience we received from UTKU - he was the best guide I've ever met. Had a good sense of humor, knowledge about what he does and helpful throughout. Enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

Full-Day Private Tour of Cappadocia's Highlights (Car&Guide )

Kyle_D, Nov 2025

Best Tour Guide Ever!

Today my partner and I went on the full day private tour to visit all the famous spots in Cappadocia with our tour guide Erhan and driver Burhan. From the moment we booked the tour, we received excellent communication from Reliance Tour Agency! Erhan was the most kind and down to earth person and it made spending the day with even better. Being a local, he knew all of the history about the city and was able to give us helpful information throughout the city. We visited the Göreme Open Air Museum, Avanos, Underground city, Mushroom Valley, Pigeon Valley and Uchisar Castle. One thing my partner and I hate is feeling pressured to purchase items when we go on these tours and Erhan made it very clear that we were going to these places for the experience not for the money. Each vendor we visited was kind and not pushy at all. This made me feel even more comfortable with Erhan since he made us feel so safe. If you’re on the fence about booking this tour, please let this review help you make the right decision! Thank you for the incredible day!

Bosphorus Sunset Yacht Cruise with Snacks and Live Guide

Jo_M, Jul 2025

Wonderful sunset cruise

We cannot thank you enough for a brilliant trip. We didn’t want a cruise with dinner but there were canapés and fruit platters provided which were perfect. We were given water and the option of a cold or hot drink or to purchase beer. The commentary was informative and there was plenty of time to chat, listen to the music and enjoy the beautiful views. The boat was clean and comfortable. All the meeting point information was sent to us in advance with clear instructions and a map to the relevant location. Our hosts were super friendly and helpful and took their time to speak to everyone on board, offering help and information about our visit to Istanbul if we needed it. We cannot fault this experience. I am so grateful for your assistance with an issue that I had to enable us not to miss our trip. A heartfelt thank you for everything.

Istanbul Hodjapasha Rhythm of The Dance Show

Noe_c, Jul 2025

A Must-See Cultural Experience

Hodjapasha Show – A Must-See Cultural Experience The Hodjapasha Show is truly one of the best performances we’ve experienced in Istanbul. It’s a perfect blend of professionalism, tradition, and artistic expression. From the moment the show begins, you’re drawn into a captivating journey through Turkish culture, history, and music. The dancers are exceptionally talented, and every movement feels meaningful and precise. The use of lighting and sound enhances the emotional atmosphere, making the performance even more powerful. Whether it’s the whirling dervishes or the dynamic folkloric dances, each scene is delivered with passion and authenticity. The venue itself, a beautifully restored 15th-century hamam, adds to the ambiance and gives the show an even deeper cultural connection. The seating is comfortable, and the environment is intimate, allowing you to feel close to the performance without being overwhelmed. Everything is well-organized, from ticketing to the timing of the show. The entire experience is smooth and enjoyable. We strongly recommend attending the Hodjapasha Show if you’re in Istanbul. It’s more than just entertainment—it’s a cultural experience that stays with you.
