What our clients are saying about their journeys through Greece and Turkey
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.

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.
Best of Turkey   Best of Turkey , SA, Australia, Apr 2026
Wow what an experience. It was so easy to find a tour and book with Tracey through the Global Journey's website. We chose the Best of Turkey with Trafalgar Tours because of the itinerary. It seemed to cover most of eastern Turkey with a couple of 2 night stays here and there to slow the pace. Then the war happened.... Tracey was great in helping to read more find solutions to the air travel that we had booked and so glad we went. Our Tour Director Daghan was one of the best.....not only the extensive history but myths, local knowledge and recommendations. Would definitely book with Global Journeys and Trafalgar again.
