    Travel Talk's 9-day trip all over Turkey has exceeded all of my expectations. The itinerary was well-crafted, seamlessly blending historical marvels like Istanbul and Ephesus with breathtaking landscapes in Cappadocia. Mustafa was very knowledgeable and have a good sense of humour which made the trip even more fun. The accommodations made our stay very comfortable. Each day was a new adventure, making it a truly unforgettable experience. Will definitely go with travel talk again for future tour guide trips!

    We recently completed a wonderful 12 day tour of Turkey with an amazing and jam-packed itinerary which took us all around the country. The tour wouldn’t be nearly as good if it weren’t for our amazing tour guide Aykut, he truly went above and beyond in every aspect, always giving the best facts, advice and suggestions for every place we stayed or visited. Making sure everyone in our large group was always fed the best food, kept updated on the town’s nightly events, he added bonus stops and visits to the itinerary (which were some of the highlights of the whole tour), whilst somehow having the energy to keep the long (yet still comfortable) bus journeys interesting with his incredible stories of tradition and culture of the amazing country.

    I completed and 9 day essential Turkey tour - it was great!! Mustafa was an amazing tour guide with so much knowledge on all of the history and site seeing spots. He kept the tours lively and interesting and everything - everyday - was so well organised. Accom was all 4/5 star. A lot of time spent in the bus but this is needed to see the sites. Overall loved seeing so much of Turkey and would recommend! Thank you to Mustafa and our bus drivers!

    The 9-day Turkey Essentials tour with Travel Talk Tours exceeded our expectations! The well-crafted itinerary showcased Turkey's best, complemented by excellent hotel choices. Mustafa, our guide, added depth with his rich knowledge, engaging storytelling and brilliant sense of humour. The seamless experience, from transportation, meals, accommodations, sightseeing and optional activities made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommended for those seeking a perfect blend of culture and comfort in Turkey.

    Just finished the 7 day highlights of Turkey tour and WOW! I am truly impressed. For such a good price, we stayed in amazing hotels, had many meals included and saw all the sights. Our tour guide, Mustafa, was knowledgeable and hilarious. He always found solutions to any problems people had always had the best recommendations and ideas (and gave us plenty of time to take photos!) The group of people on the tour was diverse, and everyone was awesome- have definitely made some friends for life. Highly recommend this company.

    An amazing 9 day Turkey tour 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷Mustafa made this tour very enjoyable and plenty of information was given for each attraction. We saw all tourist sites, and had an amazing experiences such as: hot air ballooning in Cappadocia and paragliding in Pamukkale. We had a great group and an unforgettable week. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

    I can not recommend the Essential Turkey tour with Travel Talk enough for those wanting to experience the beauty of Turkey, it’s landscapes, history, culture and people. The 9 day tour visits incredible places across 3000km via comfortable buses and great hotels. Mustafa was a brilliant guide - very knowledgeable, helpful, enthusiastic and ensures you leave with a greater understanding of the history of Turkey to match the incredible memories and photos. Plenty of pinch me moments and bucket list locations ticked of. Thank you Travel Talk for the amazing adventure!

    For my first Travel Talk tour I chose the 12 day Turkey by Land trip and it has been amazing. I joined the tour as a solo traveller and would definitely recommend this trip and Travel Talk to others! It seems like we saw all of Turkey and yet it has still left me wanting to visit again. A beautiful country with some amazing sites and fun activities to take part in. Our extremely well organised travel guide, Mustafa, made everything super easy. He provided all of the relevant necessary information for each site and did so in an engaging way so that we did not lose interest. He always seemed to be thinking three steps ahead so that we arrived at the sites when they were at their quietest and we could fully appreciate what he was telling us and take pictures without the crowds that are usually there. No question was too silly and no request was too much for him. He really did make our trip the best tour that it could be and it is clear that he loves what he does which makes the trip better for everyone. Having all the hotels booked and Mustafa organising all the little details made for a stress free trip. This meant that we could really get to know our fellow travellers and make new friends of all ages and from all different backgrounds.

    We did the 9 day tour around Türkiye (the name changed whilst we were there!) and we were able to pack in so much in so little time. The hotels and buses were comfortable and we always felt super safe travelling around. Mustafa was a great guide who preempted a lot of our questions and was always on hand to answer anything. He was also a wealth of information! Highly recommend the Bosphorus cruise, hot air ballooning and Göreme open air museum. We booked the tour because it coincided perfectly with our attempt to make the most of work leave + bank holidays and it really gave value for money.

    Our trip "Turkey by gulet in 12 days" has been a blast. A great balance of sites visited with the necessary information without overloading it. Extremely well organized travel guide Mustafa, who made departure, arrival and check in work like on a Swiss clock timeschedule deserves a lot of merit to make every single day and visit worth the participation of an organised trip. Having a worry-free trip with bus drives and luxury hotels all worked out, has gives us so much opportunity to engage and interact with our fellow trip travelers who range majority between 25-50 and has made our trip such an incredible experience of making new friends. Out next trip is already booked!

    My wife and I joined the Best of Turkey by Land 12 day tour. It was our first tour together. At first we were a bit sceptical about joining a group. But it was amazingly pleasant to learn how impressive the tour is organised. Exploring Turkey on the tour was a great experience for both of us. We'd love to do another tour with travel talk again. Mr Mustafa Kurt our travel guide is very knowledgeable, extremely experienced and answered all our questions with a big smile. Trust me we had a lot of question on the tour. He has great sense of humor and always went beyond our expectations to ensure that every traveller's concerns on the group were dealt with great deal of attention. We felt extremely safe and protected under his guided tour. The hotels we stayed at on the tour were all very comfortable and all them had a lavish Turkish breakfast we thoroughly enjoyed the food. Mustafa took us to the local restaurant that all serverd traditional delicacies, which we really enjoyed. My wife and I are vegetarian all restaurants served vegetarian food. During the trip he was very thoughful in having breaks throughout the bus journey. We learnt alot along this tour and are taking with us great memories. I would highly recommend this tour a 1000000... times.

    The 12 day land Turkey tour is one I would recommend to anyone! I recently went on my first ever Travel Talk Tour and it genuinely exceeded my expectations by far. I was excited to see Turkey and tick off some more things from my bucket list, but the sights that we saw in person were so much more beautiful, interesting, and amazing than I could have imagined, however what really made the tour extra special was our incredible guide Mustafa who took such good care of us and made this a trip I’ll never forget.

    I had such a great time on the "12 day Turkey By Land" tour. I came on the trip solo and met so many lovely people across all age groups. Would 100% recommend Travel Talk Tours as it was so well organized and put together. The tour covered everywhere I wanted to go in Turkey, the accomodation and the coach were super comfortable and we had 2 really nice drivers for safety on the longer drives. Our tour guide, Mustafa was so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and really made the trip!

    This is my newest review. I had a tour to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. I completely loved the Cambodia and Thailand. Sadly I feel like I didint have the time to see highlights of Vietnam. Cambodia was great, and so was the accomodation and the guide. I loved that the guide in Cambodia helped me try the rat, snake, and other foods from different places. However, my best tour guide was in Thailand. Khun goes above and beyond. She’s truly amazing. She literally wants you to see the whole culture about Thailand. She stops in local places, recommends different foods from different places, oh and not only that but without asking she stops in the middle of the road to get us traditional sweets, 🍫 fruits 🍒, and foods from the specific area. Not only that but she is the best photographer. She took us to the best spots for the pictures and not only that but it is amazing that she includes herself on it ! She’s truly great. The only bad thing from this tour this time was that for Vietnam and Cambodia it was only 3 ppl with us. Same for Thailand only another girl and myself. I wish it was more people like other times, but still I loved it ! My experience in “ultimate Egypt “ was good in the beginning. Everything from the tour guide Mustafa which was very very helpful. To all the hotels and activities.However , after the first week we were supposed to go to dahab which we thought we were gonna do more there , so , we quickly tried to get in contact with travel talk. We asked Bisho how could we change our tour destination with the others in the group to Jordan, because there was most activities there and more to do. While in hours it was not really much, and it was the same amount of days. We email, not response, called , not response. I even wrote them in Facebook with no response. It was very frustrating because we spend the same amount of money of everyone for just staying there doing nothing. I will give 5 starts after the first week. But customer service sucks here. Not response, not help at all. we didint mind paying extra you know. So sad.

    First time on a guided tour for me. My Mom and I did the 9-day Essential Turkey tour with Guide Mustafa from 11-19 Nov. My original fears of travelling with a group of strangers on an organised tour are all forgotten! It was great and I'll do it again any day. I'm hoping to visit Egypt next year and I'll book a tour with Travel Talk Tours again. I was worried that my Mom, who isn't very mobile and walks very slowly, would be left behind and miss out on many things, but Mustafa was patient and tried to make it possible for her to do and see as much as she wanted. She loved the tour! Mustafa is a great guide, cool, calm, helpful and organised. The bus and drivers were top notch. Hotels were all lovely and the lunch stops while travelling were all carefully selected by Mustafa for quality and affordability. We didn't feel like we were taken to tourist traps and pressured to buy stuff. Infact, Mustafa warned us along the way where to avoid being ripped off and where good places are for shopping. The sites and towns were amazing - better than expected. We were lucky with the weather. Only the last few days were rainy, overcast and cold. Possibly consider doing the tour in reverse from Istanbul to Pamukkale and then Cappadocia - you'll end with the best and on a high. A few recommendations on this trip: In Istanbul, avoid being conned at the Sultan Sofrasi restaurant. It's on the way from the hotel to Hagia Sophia along the tramline. Scammers! Stick to your guide's recommendations for meals. The spa at Pamukkale does not have the best massages or Turkish bath experience, so don't set your expectations too high. It's not the worst, rather nice but I've had much better in Alanya, Turkey. All museum entrance fees and excursions must be paid in cash. Make sure you have enough. I thought I'd pay some with my credit card, but it had to be cash. Overall, a well organised very enjoyable tour that we can highly recommend. 😀 Oh, and Cappadocian red wine is fabulous!!!

    We did a 9 day vietnam tour (north to south) and had a great time. The tour provided a great opportunity to learn from our local guide Tran Long. He was super knowledgeable and a great fun guide. We felt he always went above to look after us and provide local insights. Really happy with all the accommodation organised and travel was convenient with flights from north to south. Busses during the day to get around were all air conditioned and spacious. We made some great friends along the way. Would do another travel talk tour for sure and would recommend vietnam.

    We did the 12 day Turkey tour with the Gullet option, and loved it! The price was super reasonable, Travel Talk was always extremely responsive whenever I reached out. Most importantly, we visited an amazing array of impressive historical sites, saw the profound and varied natural beauty of Turkey and enjoyed incredible experiences like hot air ballooning and paragliding. Mustafa was the best tour guide we have ever had. His knowledge and organizational skills were top notch, he helped with everything (even with arranging laundry services) and was hilarious as well. The food was tasty, the hotels were good and the boat trip was fun and relaxing with beautiful scenery and a lot of swimming. The cabins on the boat weren’t air conditioned and were pretty hot at night, so some people slept on deck where there were plenty of places with cushions where you could stretch out and get a good nights rest. I highly recommend this tour!!

    Just completed the exotic Morocco tour with our excellent guide Abdul! He was one of the best tour guides I have met, he brought so much energy and knowledge on the tour and could not imagine doing the tour without him. The tour itself was so diverse, seeing so many different landscapes. It has been one of the best trips I have done. Would highly recommend!

    My husband and I just experienced a 9 day Egypt tour and boy was it awesome. We saw so many cool site like The Great Pyramid, visited many temples, and even got to sleep on a felucca for 2 nights on the Nile River. We met the most amazing people, tried delicious foods, and learned so much about Egypt from our guide. We felt safe the whole time, taken care of, and informed of what each day would look like. We stayed in really nice hotels, slept on sleeper trains, and had a big bonfire on one of our last nights. Honestly, memories to last a lifetime! We are so happy with this trip and would love to do a Travel Talk tour again!

    We did the 9 days Essential Turkey and it was amazing! This is the first time that I joined a group tour that is so organised and takes care of all the little details during your entire stay. Mustafa Kurt is the best tour guide I have ever had and on top of that he is so funny and entertaining! He is so knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to take care of his guests. He gives you all the tips about the places that you visit and solves any problems that we individually encounter during our trip. We saw various beautiful places of Türkiye. We roamed around and explored Istanbul, got to experience the magic of Cappadocia, paraglided above the white terraces of Pamukkale and we learned and relived the history of Troy, Asklepion and Ephesus. Our group was very diverse and met new friends during our stay. I highly recommend traveltalk and would definitely use their services again in the future.

    Another amazing adventure by Travel Talk! This is the second trip I have booked through Travel Talk and I’m already looking to book a third!! Our guide, Andre was the best. Instantly he made a connection with all of us where we all felt like family which was fantastic since we were about to be on a boat for 8 days together. This tour has something for everyone, you can lay low and soak up the sun or take an adventure like rafting or zip lining. We would start each morning with a causal breakfast and a quick swim as the captain led us across the Adriatic Sea to our next destination. At lunch, we would all meet in the dining area for a delicious 3 course meal and conversation. During dessert, Andre would explain the day’s agenda and options. Shortly after we would arrive at our destination and embark on the day. At night, we would enjoy family dinner together at one of Andre’s suggestions which were always spot on & delicious!!! Then we would return to the boat for showers & “Happiness” hours before we would take on the nightlife! I can’t not say enough about this trip, it was the perfect summer get away!!! Each location had its own uniqueness, I honestly can not chose just one. Every day was something new and exciting! Andre and the crew were absolutely the best! Thank you Travel Talk for another fabulous vacation!!!

    Turkey 9 Day Essential Tour with Mustafa as our guide was amazing! Turkey offered a bit of everything for everyone - from the modern city, to ancient ruins and of course for the Aussies and Kiwis we experienced Gallipoli. This was my third Travel Talk Tour and Mustafa was by far the best guide I’ve had! Thank you 🤩🙌

    Unforgettable Turkey Essentials: A Journey with Travel Talk I recently had the pleasure of embarking on the Turkey Essentials tour with Travel Talk, and let me tell you, it was an adventure like no other! From the bustling streets of Istanbul to the ancient wonders of Ephesus, this tour was a perfect blend of culture, history, and pure fun. Travel Talk ensured that every aspect of our trip was well-planned. The accommodations were comfortable, the transportation was smooth, and the itinerary was perfectly curated to showcase the best of Turkey's rich history and vibrant culture. If you're looking for an incredible adventure in Turkey, I wholeheartedly recommend Travel Talk. Their attention to detail, knowledgeable guides (Mustafa), ensure a seamless and unforgettable journey. Whether you're a history buff, a culture enthusiast, or simply seeking a thrilling travel experience, Travel Talk has got you covered. Thank you, Travel Talk for an extraordinary tour that surpassed all expectations. I'll cherish the memories and stories from this adventure for a lifetime.

    I recently had the pleasure of embarking on the Turkey tour with Travel Talk, and it exceeded my expectations in many ways. Our tour guide Mustafa was not only knowledgeable but also added a delightful touch of humour to the journey, making it both informative and entertaining. The flexibility provided with free time allowed us to explore at our own pace, and the accommodating nature of the guide made the experience even more enjoyable. What truly captivated me was the diverse and stunning landscapes across different regions, showcasing Turkey’s rich versatility. Overall, it was a fantastic adventure, and I highly recommend Travel Talk for an immersive and well-balanced travel experience.

    Travelled to Türkiye/Turkey 🇹🇷 with Mustafa as a guide in December 2023. We were able to get a taste of the country and visit many great sites such as Pamukkale and Gallipoli. Mustafa was extremely informative and provided deep insights into the history and culture of Anatolia, the Ottoman Empire and modern day Türkiye. His dry humour and great organisational skills made for an incredibly smooth trip. More time spent in Cappadocia and Pamukkale would've been preferred. Thanks Mustafa!

    Our first time to book with Traveltalk and the 12 day Turkey experience surely is climbing up the top of our travel adventures! The itinerary was well planned and we had the best guide ever! Mustafa (we call him Mumu) have given us the best tips on food, shopping, activities —everything! and always go the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. He even got me my woodenTrojan horses delivered (photo evidence included). Loving Turkey more because of this experience ✨🇹🇷✨

    I have done two seperate tours with travel talk over the years! The first tour was 15 Egypt and Jordan, it was honestly the most incredible experience! I couldn’t imagine travelling these countries with a better guide and tour group. The second tour I completed was 6 days fantastic Turkey! My guide, Mustafa, was hilarious! Such a kind and compassionate man, who still writes in our group chat to check in every now and then. Both tours offered me an amazing experience, rich is culture and history. The hotels that you stay in are top quality, places I could never afford to stay at without the tour. I am a solo traveller and it’s always easy to make friends in these tours. Everything is done for you and you don’t have to think too much, which is nice. Some of the highlights of both tours include: sleeping two nights on Nile river, seeing the Pyramids, walking through the ancient streets of Petra, hot air ballooning in Cappadocia, paragliding over Pumukale!!! I would never book a tour through any other company.
