Being a New Zealand woman in my sixties travelling solo and having wanted to travel to Turkey for many years I took a gamble on a tour company found online Gee whizz did I hit the jackpot ! I had a wish list of where I wanted to go and what I wanted to see in Turkey but I had to slot it in between tours to Egypt and Greece that had already been booked This was no problem for Tour Of Istanbul company. All organized thru emails and one phone call from Volkan Yı. Customized just for me and at a competitive price. A deposit was paid and the balance paid after my arrival in Turkey. My sightseeing included a Bosphorus Cruise....Istanbul Old City Tour....then a flight to see the hot springs and terraces at Pamukkale .....next Ephesus.....another flight to Cappadocia (accommodation in a CAVE hotel....absolutely wonderful ) A Hot Air Balloon Ride had been booked but the weather didn't play the game so this hasn't been crossed off my bucket list! The rock formations is something I'll never forget seeing...then another flight back to Istanbul and the following day I was off to Gallipoli There was a slight hic up with my first transfer but this was quickly rectified....so no drama. All the sightseeing tours were great with wonderful friendly English speaking guides...the accommodation was first class and I mean first class....close to restaurants and bars...... tourist attractions and convenience stores. If you are thinking about a trip to Turkey and want a hassle free great customized holiday that you'll remember forever contact Volkan at Tour of Istanbul.... — J. Toshar, New Zealand
