What our clients are saying about their journeys through Greece and Turkey
Treasures of Turkey Treasures of Turkey , VIC, Australia, Sep 2026
My first time with Insight Tours and they impressed me. More inclusions, nice hotels, less optional extras to pay for as most things are already included. We had 36 people on the tour which was a nice number, everyone got on well together and we had a memorable time. Tour director Tolga was great very accommodating and knowledgeable. A well run tour read more and he had a great sense of humour. Grace from Global Journeys is always in contact promptly to answer all your questions and have used her for years.
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.
Excellent tour through Türkiye. Highlights of Turkey , WA, Australia, Sep 2026
Great tour. First full day in Istanbul was full on. Maybe an extra day would be good as a visit to the Basilica Cistern was not covered. Our TD was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and provide great insights into the history and culture of Turkey. Meals were good and we had plenty of opportunities to experience local cuisine. The "Be My Guest" read more experience was one of the highlights. Accommodation overall was good , ranging from average accommodation in Istanbul to experiencing the rock / cave rooms in Cappadocia. Only 23 people on tour so plenty of room on the bus to stretch out. Our 6th tour with Trafalgar / Insight. Highly recommended. Thanks to Tracey at Global Journeys for her usual excellent service and advice. Look forward to dealing with Global Journeys for our next adventure.
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
