It was a last minute decision because we actually planned to stay in Istanbul only. My daughters were so keen on seeing it and managed to convince me. It is such an adorable place as if from a different planet. The arrangements were very good and the guide was very responsive and knowledgeable. I wish it wouldnt start that much early in the morning but next time we will make it more flexible. Thanks everybody.
Was the first time in Turkey. I was staying a hotel called Azade very close to Travel Bazaar. We were passing front of this office and we asked a question how to go to Grand Bazaar. They were very polite and helpfull. Especialy Mehmet Fidan. He gave us his bussines card and he described how to go to Bazaar and also provide us a realy good map of Istanbul. After staying 4 days in Istanbul we would like toı go out of istanbul for short trip. We poped into Mehmet again to help us. He was again great.He suggested us to go to Cappadocia. We did not know anything about Cappadocia. He gave us lots of info about there and send us to Cappadocia. We enjoyed very much. All the arrangements were perfect such us prick ups, guides, hotels, foods and tours. Thank you for everything Mehmet. We will come to Turkey again and for sure I will contact with you. Also, if someone wants to go Turkey, I will give your contact details. Hope to see you as soon as possible. Stay healthy.
