- mikegD8651IM0 contributionsAn unforgettable travel experience! Awesome!This was an amazing tour! It was extremely well organised and thought out, including many historical sights and other activities. There was never a feeling of being rushed and the tour guides were very knowledgeable. Travel Tips Turkey went above and beyond to make everything work, including an unplanned hospital visit. Tahsin, our agent who assisted us throughout, was always available when needed, very responsive and professional. The hotels were good and so was the food. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the best of Türkiye. PS the optional Hot Air Balloon ride in Cappadocia is a must!Written 22 September 2024
- Sightsee6086840 contributionsOne of the best experiences in CappadociaI'm definitely not an enthusiastic flier, and the first couple of minutes were quite scary. However, once we were up in the air, it was magical! The flight was so smooth that I forgot we were in a basket mid-air. The whole experience was amazing and after the initial scare, I felt quite safe. Our balloon pilots, one of them Ali Ciğerci, were professional and took us on an amazing tour. Definitely go on this ride if you want to experience Cappadocia to the fullest.Written 16 August 2024

Travel Tips has been ultra professional and really pleasant to deal with from the day I engaged them, making the planning of the trip to a completely foreign country stress-free. There was a hiccup that we found out the day before the tour started that the platform I booked the tour from actually altered the description of the tour without Travel Tips' knowledge or consent and I made my purchase based on that. When I brought this to Selcuk's attention he responded immediately and tried to offer alternative solutions, even though it was not his fault at all. He and Tahsin also took good care of us throughout the tour, communicating our needs to the various tour operators on the ground, as well as checking in with us daily. On the last day of the tour I left my wallet behind at a shop and only realised it when I was waiting to board the flight. Selcuk and Tahsin tried their best to track it down, have it sent to Istanbul and even went out of their way to post it to me. If you are looking for a travel agency who will look after you and be there for you (even when the tour is finished), I would highly recommend Travel Tips Turkey.

My family and I came all the way from Australia to Turkey as we have been wanting to visit the country for several years. We also wanted to visit a few other regions such as Cappadocia and Izmir. We booked the 4 day tour directly through contacting Selcuk from Travel Tips. Whilst we were in Australia he was extremely prompt, responsible and organised as he provided us with thorough details and responded to our queries in a timely manner. After arriving in Istanbul we visited their office and met with Osman who provided us with further details about our trip. We were fascinated and surprised by Osman and Tahsin’s hospitality, friendliness and supportive attitude. The airport transfers were always on time with top quality cars, the hotels were amazing and comfortable, the tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly and the meals included were mind blowing. Throughout our trip, the Travel Tips staff remained engaged by sending us reminders about our flight and check in times and ensuring that everything was going smoothly. Travelling to Turkey has been by far the best holiday we have ever been on and this would not have been possible without Travel Tips. Due to the great hospitality, kindness and support we received from the team, we have been able to experience a very smooth, exciting and enjoyable trip. We have created memories on this tour which we will cherish forever and the excellent people including Osman, Tahsin and Selcuk will be remembered and remain in our hearts.

Absolutely stellar experience with Travel Tips! As avid travelers, we've explored various tours, but our 4-day adventure with them through Cappadocia, Ephesus, and Pamukkale stands out as the pinnacle of organization and excellence. Selcuk, Osman, and Tahsin, the dynamic trio behind the scenes, were exceptionally professional, ensuring seamless coordination at every turn. Their attention to detail and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction elevated our journey to new heights. Kudos to Travel Tips for setting the gold standard in travel experiences!

Effectively, you join four local day tours and Travel Tips arranges the hotels, transfers and flights.
We really enjoyed the visits to the sites i.e. Open air museum, Monk's Valley, House of Mary, Ephesus and Pamukkale, but there wasn't enough time spent at them. As others have mentioned there is a lot of time wasted in pickup and drop-off of different guests and shopping visits. The proportion of time at the shopping visits could be less whilst more time at the sites.
Our hotel in Capadoccia was MDC Cave Hotel and whilst nice, was far from the main town of Goreme. In Kusadasi, Ilaydia Avantgarde Hotel was in a very convenient location, but the room and bathroom (which had a bad smell) was very small, tired and definitely not a 4* hotel. It is more like a 3 & 1/2* hotel.
The flight from Kayseri is very late and it takes an hour to get to Kusadasi from Izmir airport. By the time you check in, it will be around 2.30am - 3.00am before you get to bed, and then a 8.45am pickup for trip to Ephesus.
Our tour guide in Ephesus and Pamukkale, Marzie, was wonderful and the best we have come across in our travels. She was friendly, enthusiastic, gave us lots of information and helpful with our requests. She made up for the guides in Capadoccia who were pretty much the opposite to her. In Capaddocia, we had a different guide for each day.
We were very tired by the end of the trip, but overall, we enjoyed visiting these fabulous sites.

The Cappadocia leg of the trip alone makes the whole trip a spectacular adventure. This is a must-see for anyone visiting Turkey. The hotel accommodations were fantastic at each location. The service was top-notch, and it was great to be taken care of from beginning to end. I agree with some of the other comments that it's a tiring trip when you add on Ephesus and Pamukkale. I didn't like flying back to Istanbul from Cappadocia, only to catch another flight back down to Ephesus - I would have much preferred a direct flight. It feels like the destinations are unrelated to each other, so it doesn't seem necessary to pack all of them into a single tour. It would have been nice to go at a little more relaxed pace. But again, you are in for a treat when you see these places. Unreal!

Tahsin planned everything for us. The transfers were prompt and easy to locate. The accomodation was clean and well located. The tours were in small groups and informative. The tours are full day tours so you arrive back at your hotel or the airport at around 4pm which was good because you have time to explore on your own in the evening. My partner and I had a great time and would definitely recommend Tahsin and this tour.

I could sit here and tell you about the AMAZING holiday that I had, but I think we all know that Turkey is amazing, as are the destinations apart of the package. I'm here to tell you about Tahsin. He is the most considerate and efficient organiser. The entire holiday went off without a hitch, even though there were self inflicted problems, thanks to him. I would advise anyone and everyone to book through him and him only if you want the most memorable time of your life.

This trip was complex logistically. We travel a lot but was little worried before coming to Turkey. We were pleasantly surprised how well Travel Tips organised this for our family of 4. From end to end it was a five star experience. The attention to details, quality of guide, transport, accommodation was superb. They follow up and kept us updated at every stage so that we could just focus on enjoying. Selcuk, Osman, Tahsin- thank you so much for your hospitality. It’s a different level to our past experience. We are definitely coming back and going to recommend to our friends and families.

Tahsin at Travel Tips Turkey is great! We have booked several trips with him, including an all-inclusive trip to Antalya, Kusadasi, family trip to Istanbul, and a cruise to Fethiye, Demre. Tahsin has always taken great care of me and my family and all of the trips have been wonderful. I have recommended Tahsin and Travel Tips Turkey to several friends and will continue to do so. I plan to continue using Tahsin's help to book many vacation getaways in the future. Many thanks Tahsin, the staff and Travel Tips Turkey.

But it's possible they have you on a different flight. They will send you all of the documents confirming flights and such. The schedule is quite a lot with early departures and very late arrivals, so if you require a really good night's sleep, this isn't for you. We had fun.

Why wasn't the Hot Air Balloon ride not included in the Itinerary, it seems to me reading the questions on this feed that many were interested in the balloon ride? Will it be a large cost added to the package tour if a person would like to go on a balloon ride?
Written 25 September 2019
The balloon ride is optional. They will ask you if you want to do a balloon ride when you book. You will pay the full cost of the balloon ride in addition to the tour cost. The tour cost includes a lot: 3 flights, all breakfasts and lunches, hotels for 3 nights, 4 full day tours. Balloon rides are expensive but worth it if you've never done one.
