This description was the best choice of what TripAdvisor had. What we actually had was a 16 day private tour of western and central Turkey focusing on archeology and history. There were 5 of us on this fabulous adventure. It wasn't exactly easy because of COVID and the lockdowns for citizens around Ramadan. We had to be tested both before and after the trip even though we are vaccinated and lots of shops and restaurants were closed BUT........ It was the GREATEST trip imaginable! Ertunga made sure we never lacked for anything, found us great restaurants and the accommodations were so special. Still, the highlights were the sites and the learning and the beauty of Turkey. We often had the popular sites all to ourselves. The sail boating on the Aegean Sea was terrific. I could list 100 things that were wonderful. Ertunga Ecir went above and beyond to give our group a superior and unforgettable trip -or-a-lifetime.

I booked a trip with Crossroads in Jan /20,after looking at many good reviews.My booking agent was Mrs Betul Eren.Athough we communicated thru email, her professionalism,,customer skills ,and knowledge was very evident.Somehow she also communicated her humanity.Due to the uncertainty related to covid19, I cancelled my trip.Mrs Eren was understanding and ensured my refund.I am sure Mrs Eren And Crossroads are mirror reflections of an excellent travel company.Hopefully I will rebook when are healthy days return.

We had been talking to Hakan from Neopolis Travel for over a year, as I was planning a 6 month Sabbatical, with an Istanbul and Cappadoccia tour. From the beginning the communication from Hakan was always timely and informative with flexibility and options given. We eventually booked the tour with him for this coming May, but obviously circumstances have now prevented this. Via email with Hakan, he gave us options to defer the tour, but unfortunately due to other commitments we have had to cancel. Hakan has been very understanding throughout and will definitely book with him and Neopolis if we are able to do the tour in the future.

Booked through Goodman tours weeks before our scheduled Balloon flight via Viator. Received confirmation, got tickets. Night before our flight we get an email, not from Goodman tours but from Viator advising that Balloon flight has been cancelled due to “overbooking”. Rang Goodman tours, they say cancelled because of bad weather but there were heaps of other balloon flights the next morning. Very disappointed as we went to Cappadocia specifically for the Balloon ride. Could of let us know earlier in the day so we could book another flight. Goodman tours offered a complimentary activity, but if never eventuated. Will not use them again.
