We loved the itinerary and our guide, Ahmed was fabulous. He gave us lots of information with knowledge and humour, rearranging the program to give us a great experience. We understand that hotels on the outskirts of town are cheaper and usually that's fine. The istanbul hotel was just way too far and not a good representation of Türkiye, finding something in town for a similar price would surely be possible with the group buying power. Brilliant tour overall, thanks

We went on this trip with low expectations, but it turned out to be a pretty eye-opening experience. We discovered some fascinating things about Turkiye, its history and vibrant culture. The hot air balloon ride, the cave hotel stay and seeing the fairy chimneys in Cappadocia were definitely the highlights of our trip. It would be so much better if hotels were located near shops and restaurants.

The itinerary was great, the hotels were very good quality, our driver was very skilled and safe, and our guide was top shelf with his English, knowledge, personality and organisational skills. Trip a Deal kept us updated with the necessary details of the trip.

absolutely loved Ulimate Turkey. This was my second TripADeal trip and I chose it based on my previous trip to Egypt which was also fantastic so I’m a repeat traveler. We had an excellent guide who was clearly very knowledgeable about the many and varied experiences and activities we did . I appreciated how he highlighted certain areas so we wouldn’t miss significant things as there was so much to see and at times it could be overwhelming and you didn’t want to miss out. I couldn’t fault the hotels ( customer service in Novotel in Konya was poor but that was probably due to the staff working that day as the hotel itself was great) All other hotels were fantastic and I loved that we were located so centrally I especially loved the ones in Istanbul and Kusadasi and the Portobello at Antalya. I appreciated having a comfortable nights sleep each night in a great bed after long and busy days it really helped managing tiredness. My highlights were so many ! Gallipoli was very moving and I found almost spiritual for me personally. I’ve always wanted to go to Kusadasi to see Ephesus and see the temple of Artemis and that did not disappoint it alone was worth the trip I absolutely loved Izmir and the Agora a real highlight. To be where Alexander the Great had been at Purge an unforgettable experience and to learn about cleopatras pool and that she was there also great. The ancient cities and their history were amazing. Troy was also an unforgettable highlight. To see the ancient walls of Troy and to be in the moment - I don’t have the words to express how surreal this felt. The natural geographical landscapes also highlights standouts were Pamukkale and Cappadocia. Istanbul itself and the Famous site’s incredible I would love to go back to spend more time there and in Izmir. Meals were all amazing and well organised so we didn’t waste time. I liked the traditional meal experience and think that is was helpful to include at least one example of each eg a traditional breakfast lunch and dinner as well as coffee tea ritual. I really appreciated it when we had the opportunity to do this and learn about the food culture . The pace was great I liked that we kept moving and didn’t waste time so we could see as much as we could. I did all the extra tours except the ballooons and loved them all. Something I wasn’t expecting and was a highlight was Rumis house and learning about him and his poetry. I liked the opportunity to go to the museums in Ankara and would have liked to go to the one that had the statues that they found I think in Antalya. I liked going to the leather, carpet and pottery factories to Learn about these traditional industries. The trip was very well organised and seemed seamless I liked that we started early and mostly there at sites at opening so we could be there before it became too busy. I really have nothing but praise for a simply unforgettable experience thank you!!! My only suggestion would be is that there were only two solo travellers and it would have been a better mix to have had a few more as when I enquired I was told there would be. I’ve looked at many trips and the TripADeal model really suits me so I hope there may be more opportunities for solo travellers. Thank you again for a wonderful trip!

I loved everything about the trip our guide Furkan Bicer was excellent he answered all our questions and gave us the history behind every location. Every location was beautiful & dripping with history

We had the best holiday. Great tour guides. I did feel some of the hotels were way too far away from the towns. Did not have a lot of choice of places to eat for dinner.

Loved the cruise. Our tour guide on the Turkey leg started drinking alcoholat 11 in the morning and didn’t stop all day, quite often we had to wait for him to start our day. He was very knowledgeable and probably talked for too long and we always seem to be running overtime at every place we stopped at most hotels were not anywhere near the town Centre. One particular hotel in Turkey was in a district that was boarded up graffiti everywhere and we couldn’t walk outside the front door. quite a lot of the hotels were substandard and their breakfast didn’t cater for westerners. most of the coaches were old. our tour guide in Egypt was fantastic. One of the best I’ve ever had.

Our tour with the guide was great, our tour leader was fantastic.

Great highlight tour of Turkiye. Our guide was fabulous and very knowledgeable The BVS Bosphorus Hotel was very average. The cave hotel in Cappadocia was great.

Gallipoli was an amazing experience

Anzac Day ceremonies were unforgettable

Going to Gallipoli, being present remembering the sacrifice of our Australians.

My daughter mid 20s and I did this tour in October 2025 was just amazing . Great value for money and the group was also wonderful and we still keep in contact through WhatsApp . Mixed ages and all got along. Marta our tour leader was fantastic knowledgeable and local to the regions. She communicated well and to all our needs. My daughter turned whilst we were in Florence and she helped me organise a cake for her which was a traditional made cake from the region which made it extra special. I highly recommend this tour and TripADeal ! We Saw so much in the time span and return flights included from Australia were a great bonus too. Will definitely be touring with them again one day soon.

The whole trip was a fabulous experience, seeing all the major monuments

There was nothing to complain about. Everything starting with our tour guide Mert, he was a walking encyclopaedia. His knowledge and love of his country was electric. Our coach driver was simply the best. Our accommodations were comfortable and met our needs. The sites we visited were all spectacular.
