Turkish Delight - 13 Day Tour of Turkiye   Turkish Delight , VIC, Australia, Sep 2026
We enjoyed our 13-day round trip to Turkiye visiting some of the main attractions the country has to offer and some of the historic cities. It was a full-on schedule. We would have preferred 15-day tour at a slightly reduced space. Anyway we had an excellent time. Burna, tour guide and Mustafa, the driver were very helpful, obliging and very approachable. read more Turkiye was a very clean and tidy country. The majority of the participants were from Australia and we all got on very well. Except for one or two hotels the rest were very comfortable. The buffet dinners had a range of delicious food, but the couple of set menus that we had was very poor indeed.
Well Orchestrated Trip Greek Island Hopper , NJ, United States, Sep 2026
Our tour director BEVERLY was absolutely AMAZING. The excursions, transfers & coordination within the group was OUTSTANDING. Our only reservation was the poor selection of hotel in Athens: the Crown Plaza was tired & more of a business hotel rather than leisure accommodation - and would not recommend. The hotel in Mykonos was LOVELY. The hotel in Santorini read more could have been better in terms of the room - they were not private enough with guests walking past the outside of the room. We should of had a second floor room with terrace - the overall room was sparse with only a bar of soap.
Grecian Paradise   Greek Island Hopper , MA, United States, Sep 2026

We were very impressed how clean and well-kept all the towns we visited. The attractions were amazing and our Tour Director Saba and our coach driver were exceptional. Mandy and all the staff that supported us during the planning offered exceptional and prompt service. Thank you.
Highlights of Turkey Highlights of Turkey , VIC, Australia, May 2026
We booked our Highlights of Turkey Tour, and Best of Greece Cruise through Grace from the instant week made the initial enquiry through to questions we had on a Cruise, Grace was professional always replied within a few hours, and she always checked in that we understood the answers etc. to our questions.

We have travelled with Trafalgar before read more and was the main reason for booking the Highlights of Turkey tour and it did not let us down, our tour director Tolga was amazing and so was the tour, sometimes very fast paced with early mornings and late nights but that's all part of travel. Highlights for us was Cappadocia it was like being on a different planet truly amazing. Gallipoli was also a highlight to see Anzac Cove and be able to walk along the beach a wonderful and sobering experience.
