          Mostly Great Tour
          We did a 2 night Cappadocia tour with Turco Travel. We had a wonderful time on this tour. Communication was very good after booking until the start of our tour from Istanbul. They were easy to work with when we needed to make some changes. The hotel in Urgup was great. This would have been a 5 star rating except for the two airport pickups where the communication did not match what actually happened. We had to call the tour operator in both circumstances to locate our drivers. Other than those two "bumps", it was a great experience.

          A Customer Focussed Travel Agent in Istanbul- A Beauty Mates
          Australians Love Turco Travel, the really Customer Focussed Turkish Travel Agent Reviewed today A well coordinated 3 day tour, flights to and from Istanbul, transfers and accommodation ( at the Evanthia Cave Hotel) were included and excellent. The guide (Erbu), who met us in Cappadocia, was well informed, friendly and flexible and helpful in making individual arrangements and showing us the sights of Cappadocia. The hike through the red valley was a highlight. As we arranged this tour personally with Turco Travel directly from Australia, we were a little anxious as to how it would go. Needless to say Turco were excellent, customer focussed and responsive to emails and phone calls. Even better they were very well priced compared to other Australian travel agent offered alternatives. We would recommend and commend Turco Travel to any Australians wishing to visit Turkiye and especially Cappadocia. They are simply the best! Date of experience: April 2024

          Absolutely Amazing Experience
          My friend and I (two women in their late 40s) came to Cappadochia with this tour company and were amazed by it every step of the way. First of all, Gizem from Turco Travel answered every one of my questions (and there were many!) before I booked. The customer service on that end was nothing short of exemplary. She was always available to answer my questions via WhatsApp at any time of day. Her answers were helpful and useful and she didn’t mind when I asked the same question more than once (several times). The flight and airport pickup was easy and seamless. No complaints, everything was done perfectly. The hotel. Oh the hotel. It was called Acer Cave Hotel and it completely exceeded our expectations. It was beyond our wildest dreams how good it was. The room was as beautiful as it was comfortable and the breakfast in the morning was second to none. The views from our room as well as the dining room were breathtaking. Subiha, our guide was INCREDIBLE. She was knowledgeable about any and all questions we had and told us all kinds of interesting facts, stories, etc about her region of Turkey. She was outstanding. Both days, our tour ran on time with zero hiccups or headaches. We saw all kinds of sights and had many experiences, all of which blew both my friend and I away. Cost to value was fantastic, knowing what I know now, with all we got, I would have paid double for this tour. Can’t say enough good things, you will not be disappointed, book with this company forsure!

          Captivating Turkey
          This was one of our most memorable, rewarding, and insightful trip, thanks to Turco travel and their team. Our trip was jus 8 days and we wanted to see a lot. While we have traveled on our own many times, this time we wanted a professionally managed tour to get the most of out time (and money). The team at Turco organized our trip in a very professional manner, there was great communication and they answered all our questions - thank you Cagdas and Umut. During the tour, everything was efficiently executed - travel, tickets, hotels, meals, sites etc., We were also paired with 2 amazing guides - Ebru in Cappadocia and Serdar in Pamukklae and Istanbul. Both our guides were highly experiences and very knowledgeable. They hlped us undertand the history, geography, and anthropology of the siteds we visited. They took us back in time to get us a feel of how and what actually happened, and how prople experiences these events. They also ensured we saw everythng on our list and more. They introduces us to all the local fare, we ate some amazing food and tasted the best desserts. If not for Ebru and Serdar our trip experience would be very poor. A few points for improvement: the hotel in Istanbul could have been in a more centra place - like close to the spice/grand bazaar, or close to the hagia sofia. Also, there are some additional stuff like the visit to the ceramic factory etc, - these should be discussed so that we could have decided to avoid them. This could have given us an extra day in Istanbul.

          Great shopping experience with Tour Guide - Engin
          It was a great experience touring Grand Bazaar and other stores in the area. Engin - my tour guide, is very knowledgeable and told me a lot about history and politics of the state while touring the shops. He’s given me advice on different products and I bought great souvenirs! Engin was also kind to guide me to the ferry to get to the hotel faster after the shopping. I would be lost in the grand Bazaar without my tour guide, thank you so much!

          Amazing Trip
          We're so glad we booked this tour! One of the highlights of our trip was our guide Gigi, who is absolutely fantastic and truly made our trip an unforgettable experience! Gigi is very knowledgeable about all aspects of Turkey and was able to give us great insight into Turkish culture and history while creating an incredibly fun and flexible itinerary. It was a pleasure to discover Turkey through her eyes.

          The best Tour company ever !
          My friend and I went on this Turkey adventure, didn't not know what to expect and we had the best time ever. The tour company and all the staff were so helpful and a pleasure to deal with they went out of their way to please our every need. I would travel to Turkey again and again with this same group. We had a different guide in each city and all 3 of them were the best, funny, experienced, knowledgeable of all the places we went to.

          Best tour experience in Turkiye
          A hot air balloon ride is the best experience we had in Cappadocia. We really enjoyed our tour. The small tour group that they arranged was so nice. We felt like a big family went for vacation, although we didn’t know each other before. Turkiye is one of our favorite places to visit. We wish to come back again, one day.

          Incredible Experience in Turkey!
          My best friend and I went to Turkey together and had a wonderful time. Our guide, Canero, was incredibly knowledgeable, set a great pace for our activities and tours, and even gave us the option of having lunches as a group which was a phenomenal choice. One of the many highlights was a catered lunch in Cappadocia in a cave house that the family has lived in for many generations. I’m a trained chef, and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The chef and her family were incredibly hospitable and kind, too. During the trip I reached out to Gizem, our travel assistant, with some questions and to ask for assistance. She was very helpful, professional and responsive, I would recommend this trip to anyone, and look forward to visiting Turkey again.

          A dream trip across Turkey
          As a couple who travels extensivley, this is a trip that can't be missed! We booked through Exoticca, and Gizem was our tour organizer. She was positively fantastic! She took care of everything and was always promptly available by Whatsapp for our questions. We loved how we had private transfers in comfy vans everywhere we went. And our guides were stellar! Engin, Fortune, and Kamran... you were amazing! Our only gripe about this trip was the hotels in Istanbul. They are in the middle of nowhere, making it difficult to get downtown. And the last hotel was unnecessarily far from the airport. It was super annoying having to drive 40 minutes to the hotel from the airport at 10 pm, only to have to drive 40 minutes back to the airport at 5 am for our flight home the next morning. There are two dozen hotels next to the airport. Book one. But again, this is an issue with Exoticca and not Turco travel. Everything else was magical. Thank you again Gizem! - Matt and Claudia
