Turkey with little information

We have just arrived from a trip to Turkey with EXOTICCA it was a trip that we were very excited about and the truth the country is beautiful, we did the circuit Turkey Legendary, but that you have to worry about things that you should not do that do not enjoy it 100% for example you return from CAPPADOCIA -ISTANBUL and they do not tell you absolutely anything, neither Airport nor airline nor Flight Number (which I think is important for any unexpected that might happen) do not even give you the information of the Pickup Point once you arrive in Istanbul, once you arrive in ISTANBUL absolutely no one carries any badge of the wholesaler EXOTICCA, you have to go looking and to all that loaded with the bags and not knowing where is the meeting point , the day before we called by phone and wrote Whatsapps to the assigned person without confirming anything, then we think that there is a lack of professionalism and even information as it would have to be more rigorous, since you are in a foreign country unknown and you do not control (and on top of that many people do not speak English, only Turkish) that together with other small things happen that make our trip with EXOTICCA has not been 10, I think they have to improve quite, at least in the circuits of Turkey ...!

Expensive tour and poor information.

The itinerary was excellent but the tour guide speaks very poor englsh and could not provide sufficient information.

Operator response

Dear Nelson Sorry to hear that you hadnt got enough information because of the language barier. Actually we had used same guide before and this is the first time we had this complain. for the future booking we will be more carefull for both language degree and exprience in the guiding. Regards

Enjoy Istanbul without stress or crowds.

It shows slightly lesser known places. Friendly and competent Guide. Comfortable, with hotel pickup and only for the group you hire.

Operator response

Dear Pilar Thanks for the review and hope to be your local contact in your future holiday in Turkey. Regards

Best private tour I took during my visit to Turkey!

I am a serious art history person. The Chora Church was one of the main reasons I traveled to Istanbul. This tour also includes the Asitane Restaurant. It was a rare treat and one I will always remember. I highly recommend this tour to anyone whom is interested in art history.
