Great experience and tour through Turkey highlights.
The tour was a great experience and exceeded our expectations. We took the balloon ride option and it was everything we expected and more. The accommodation was first rate.
I would suggest however there needs to be less focus on the "marketing" and sales visits for leather jackets and rugs!

A Divine Experience
This tour is definitely a must do for those traveling to Turkey! The balloon ride in Cappadocia flying over the fairy chimneys at the beak of dawn is simply breathtaking. The 2 night stay in a modernized cave suite is luxury amidst history. The hotel overlooking the sea in Kusadasi have amazing views of the sunset. The tour of the ancient city of Hieropolis, with a walk in the traventines and a dip in the hot spring pool of Cleopatra is an experience of a lifetime. The tour of the ancient city of Ephesus and the trip to the last known abode of the Virgin Mary is a divine experience for devout Christians. I highly recommend this tour to everyone going to Turkey.

Fantastic way to see so many Turkey highlights in just 4 days!
Best: Cappadocia balloon ride over amazing fairy chimneys, 2nd Ancient Ephesus, 3rd Hierapolis and Pamakkale. Also fun: underground city, Goreme park, Ihlara Valley. Both hotels were great: the sea front and cave hotels. Tiring: four flights and lots of driving, be ready for long days. Special note: Our guide, Sami, was wonderful, an expert in history and culture, and the drivers were very professional and kind. Sami was with us every moment, including the flights, so that made the extensive location transitions much easier and made us feel comfortable and safe.

Great value and great experiences
This was an incredible value for what you receive in terms of accommodations, transportation, guides, flights, food, and experiences. Very well organized with no delays on pick up, transfers, and communications. Guides were excellent and you actually get to see so much more than advertised. We really appreciated eating at non-touristy venues that were delicious and more than enough to be full. Hotel in Kusadi (Charisma) was incredible and gorgeous and the cave hotel was awesome. You will not be disappointed as it is worth every cent. The days are packed with activity so being in moderate health is important. There is a bit of light hiking about on average 5-6 miles a day,...climbing up steep inclines to caves and such and around ruins.
