What are people saying about Turkey

Jay_G, May 2026

Ephesus experience

This ranks as one of the best, if not the best, excursion we have taken through any provider. Troy was simply amazing and the itinerary was perfect. This intimate one-on-two experience offered a very close up personal connection. We would highly recommend Troy and this experience.

10/10 Experience!

This was a seamless experience from beginning to end. Our tour guide, Hebru was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable about the history of Ephesus and surrounding areas. We were in awe over the handmade rugs, and thoroughly enjoyed our traditional Turkish lunch, ate outside in a little garden. We had time after our tour to wander around Kusadasi and do some shopping. Would 10/10 recommend.

Ahmet is the best tour...

Ahmet is the best tour guide we had in eight tours with Viator over the past 2 weeks. It was a private tour of 4. Ahmet described our options and we chose the venues. He was polite and friendly and shared the history as he accompanied us. We discussed the culture of Turkey and current world events. His love of his job was evident and made this our favorite excursion.

Best Excursion Ever!

We had an amazing experience on the Best of Ephesus tour! Our guide Canan was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient throughout the entire day. As first-time visitors, we really appreciated how much history and local insight they shared while still making everything easy to understand and enjoyable. The tour was very well organized and we were able to see so many incredible sites — honestly everything we hoped to experience during our visit. We never felt rushed, and our guide made sure everyone was comfortable and had time for photos and questions. This was one of the highlights of our trip and we would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ephesus for the first time!

Cappadocia Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight / Discovery Balloons

Francis_O, May 2026

Fantastic experience!

We were very fortunate to have been able to fly on the one day that we were in Cappadocia, as the conditions have to be right in order for the balloons to safely fly (any inkling of inclement weather would cause the flights to be canceled). Overall, Discovery Balloons is a fantastic company, with professional and friendly staff and pilots. We had last minute additions to our group, and they were able to accommodate. The ride was smooth and scenic, and a truly magical experience seeing the entire valley from over 850 feet above ground, for almost an hour. The landing was expertly done, and we barely felt any impact. And the experience ends with champagne and we even received flight certificates to commemorate the moment. Highly recommended!

Great tour to the most interesting places in Instanbul. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered any questions. We were a small group and she kept us together and skip the line was great. She recommended a few restaurants in the area as well. Great tour for a few hours of the day.

Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Tour Over Fairychimneys

Matthew_R, May 2026

Worth it.

The experience of flying in the air and witnessing Goreme from above was amazing. I wish there was a little more communication during booking around expectations for the morning of. There was a lot of waiting around for such an early pick up. We came to realize that our flight crew was waiting for the go ahead to fly before we departed to the launch place, however we did not know this in the moment and it left us with a feeling of “why did we leave so early if all we are doing is waiting”, Again, it would have helped us to understand what we were doing if it was presented in the welcome email.

Istanbul: Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia & opt. Basilica Cistern Tour

Brian_C, May 2026

Wonderful tour, crowded sites

Our tour guide was awesome and shared so much great information. She navigated the crowds well, kept all participants together and got us to each site in a timely a manner as possible. I give her 5 stars. I believe her company just started using new communication boxes that I didn’t love. They hooked over your ear and held the little speaker close to your ear. Didn’t work great with my husbands hearing aides, and didn’t seem to work well With my glasses either. So, I didn’t love them, but made it work, and again, not the tour leaders fault. Also , crowds were tough. Long lines, even with the skip the line prebought tickets by the tour company. So, just be aware that the tour, which with no lines might take 2 hours, may take you as long as five. Again, not the leader’s fault- she kept a great attitude and navigated through it all as best she could. We were there on a Saturday at the beginning of high season (May 9). She noted the lines can be twice as long as we experienced- so just plan on it. The sites were amazing and not to be missed. You can obviously prebuy tickets and do these sites yourself, but you will miss so much of the history, insider knowledge of best photo spots etc and how to navigate through the crowds. Take the tour and enjoy.
