Travel Turkey By Land 12 Day tour,
Amazing tour, sights and activities so well organised by the wonderful tour leader Mustafa. He is the best tour guide l have had.
Everything was well organised, hotels great and the information provided was the perfect amount.

Food, accomodation, bus, boats, site tours, entertainments and information delivered were all top rate. Mustafa delivered a memorable tour for us. The best guided tour we have been on and would book with TravelTalk again.

I have just finished the 10 day Amazing Turkey by Land tour. Wow, what an experience. The guide Mustafa was amazing. His knowledge and obvious pride and love of his country makes the experience top notch. He effectively introduced us to the diverse landscape, history, natural beauty and culture of this country. It was so much fun and we had an amazing group of people of varying ages on the tour as well. We packed so much into such a short time. I would highly recommend this tour. If you are thinking of booking, do it!! You will love it. Sensational

It was obvious Mustafa our tour guide was very experienced and we were in for a great tour. He weaved his magic with his humour, knowledge and being flexible so we would miss the crowds. We covered a lot of ground in a short time to see some amazing turkey. It was really a pleasure to travel with travel talk and all the accommodation was really noice.!

My partner and I completed two travel talk tours back to back: Egypt and Türkiye.
Both tours were meticulously planned, giving us such a comprehensive and comfortable tour around the countries.
Our tour guides were the stand out, Mohammad in Egypt and Mustafa in Türkiye - both passionate and well educated in their fields. They were both great people and went above and beyond for us, which was the highlight of the trip.
The hotels and boats were beautiful and very luxurious.
Can’t recommend travel talk enough

Beware - unreasonable booking conditions - Do not book with this company!
They cancelled our booking for no reason after confirming it and didn’t even offer a refund (just transfer to another tour) until I complained. Finally got refund 1.5 weeks later after some chasing.
Their booking conditions do not comply with ABTA code of conduct and guidance as they can cancel for any reason even after full balance is due.
This is also in direct contradiction to their website which says departures are guaranteed.
Company has still not responded to my complaint almost 3 weeks ago.

The guides were great and helpful.
The Sonesta Hotel Tower & Casino: has a bomb detector dog and armed guards in the reception.
The overnight train was at least 80-plus years old. The toilets were un-hygienic no water was flushed to the railway tracks. The rooms were very small, the meals only just. The train shook, rattled, and bounced all night long. Nobody got any sleep including the guide.
The next day in Aswan it was extremely hot, we had sites/temples all day before we could board the river cruise. Dinner was at a local family home for a Bedouin dinner back at about 10 pm. The next day was extra to Abu Simbu with a 4 am start meeting in reception. For a 10-hour day in a sinking minibus (sounds exciting). By 4 am I was vomiting on the toilet from exhaustion and heat stroke. After vomiting I went back to bed a few hours later I got up and went for some breakfast 3 cups of tea and a small tub of yogurt, later some quiet time on the top deck sitting in the shade.
After an early dinner off to the lights show at the Pyramids and got back at about 9.30 pm for an early start of 3 am in reception for 10 to 12-hour drive in a mini bus plus 17 checkpoints. To get to Dahab.
The travel talk manager suggests we fly to Dahab at $95 US extra, this should have been suggested from the start on the website.
Travel Talk, dropped us off at the airport only to find out they dropped us 10 people at the wrong terminal. We decided to stay together catching the airport shuttle to the correct terminal the airport staff were very helpful.

I just back from 9 day Balkan tour finished at Sofia.
This is my 7th tour with different tour companies but first time with Travel Talk.
I must say the tour was awesome, everything done very professionally. I like their idea to pick up the travelers from the airport. The tour guide (Boyan) was full of fun.
Hotels quality are excellent except one.
In my opinion they can include few meals, like other tour companies, in the program. They can also provide discounts to the return travelers like Expat Explorer.

10/12 day Turkey by land.
This land of Turkey is big so the bus time is long. Thanks to our guide, who constantly multitasked to keep our tour running smooth, it was a great experience. Our guide was our waiter, advisor, historian and became a friend through the tour. He offered his considerable experience to ensure our little time in this big country was used efficiently.
Expect lots of buffet food, long bus trips, a big group of over 40 if travelling in spring or summer. But overall a great experience.
I am glad I flew back after 10 days.
To Travel Talk; Ideally this would be an 11 day tour with a night to relax together in Cappadocia. Our last night was before a 4:50am pick up! And on the same day we had a flight to Istanbul to officially finish our tour at the airport at 8pm.
So our last day was long and our goodbyes to a great group were short. Travel talk could change this.

The 12 day Turkey by land tour has been an unforgettable experience. Each day brought a change in scenery and destination. Mustafa was our guide and I couldn’t have been more impressed with how he handled everything our group could have needed/wanted and more.
He has done everything from helping us arrange airport transfers, advising on places to eat, arranging additional side tours, and even acting as a waiter during a lunch stop. He handled the whims of 40 people, and did it with a smile everyday.
The tour itself had a nice mix of sightseeing and relaxing. Nearly everyday there was an activity and we were given free time to explore each stop. Because we were covering so much of the country though that also included some days filled with lots of bus travel. Frequent stops were made and everyone’s comfort was seen to.
Tour highlights included a busy day sightseeing in Istanbul, exploring the ancient ruins of Ephesus, karaoke at the hotel in Fethiye, and hot air ballooning in Cappadocia. The group got along well, and saying goodbye was bittersweet. I look forward to being able to visit this wonderful country again!

The booking process was very easy and everything on the website is explained in good details. The guide Mustafa was extremely helpful and was very good at keeping us informed about daily activities and had a PowerPoint presentation for us on the first night. Our tour was big we had 40 people on it mostly aussies, what a fun group. The days were full on with activities and travelling. The places we visited on the itinerary were very interesting with history. I learnt a lot! Breakfast and dinners included were all buffet so prepare to over eat your way around turkey. The lunches were really good and definitely take the guides recommendations. This tour really highlighted the best of what Turkey has to offer. Just be prepared to be on the bus as there’s lots of driving. The bus drivers and guide were really lovely. Best guide!

A very well run trip from booking to leaving. Our guide Mustafa was brilliant at giving information throughout the tour and predicting the needs of the group. There were optional activities and we saw a lot! Highly recommend 👌

We did the 12 day Best of Turkey by Land tour and had a great time. The entire itinerary was well-organized and covered all the major highlights you'd want. Our guide Mustafa was superb; he genuinely cared about the group (which was a large one) having a good time and we appreciated how he went above and beyond to facilitate individual preferences. My favorites from the tour were visiting the Ephesus/Troy historical sites and the Salakkient gorge. This was our first time with Travel Talk Tours and we'd recommend the agency.

I think the Essential Turkey trip by land(12 days) overall, was a huge success even before it’s concluded. Everything went as planned. Having Mustafa as a guide was an icing on the cake. I referred to him SO many times for details, using the schedule by day and he individually answered everyone. Pretty impressed with their support.... I really appreciated the communication with me during the trip, particularly getting the whatsgroup made for us for the everyday update.... I had an absolutely fabulous time. I was traveling alone but never felt alone. You did an AMAZING job on this, Travel Talk and guide Mustafa, and I have already told people about you and your help. We will definitely travel together again in the near future!

I undertook the Essential Turkey 10 day tour with our guide Mustafa. He made our tour easy and extremely enjoyable. Very knowledgeable, accomodating and nothing was ever too much trouble for him to ensure all guests were comfortable. His humour and character enhanced the whole experience.

The itinerary covers all the amazing sights for a first time traveller to Turkey. The bus was always clean and the drivers were polite.

Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone going to Turkey!

I had an amazing time on this tour! Mustafa was an amazing guide who made the experience even more enjoyable. His knowledge and enthusiasm were contagious. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and informative adventure!

My partner and I did the Balkan Discovery tour with Travel Talk, overall it was an amazing tour. It was very well organized , all hotels were fantastic, very comfortable rooms , well located . Bojan our guide was very good, he made us all feel very comfortable and had some very interesting and funny stories to tell along the way. Walking city tours in each destinations we've visited was a good learning experience.

A generally good tour of Romania and Bulgaria. Great mixture of people.
Whilst the guide was very good (great knowledge and emphasis on keeping us together/safe) unusually they were a freelancer. Unfortunately the communication between them and Traveltalk didn’t seem great. They seemed to lack the ‘icing on the cake’ that other guides have had such as organising dinners in the evening (the group dinners weren’t honoured) and also advice on how to get back to the airport at the end.

It was an amazing experience travelling with this agency!!

I did the boat tour from Split to Dubrovnik in late June/early July. It was without doubt the highlight of my Europe trip, every day was so much fun, and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to see Croatia and enjoys some good nightlife. Our tour manager, Dora, was the best! Dora is Croatian and was highly knowledgeable about the best activities, restaurants, clubs, history etc. and always provided us with heaps of options to do each day and made sure to give us different options for restaurants to cater for everyone’s budget.
The white water rafting was amazing, and also the pub crawl on Hvar! Every day you moor up for swim stops in the bluest water and there’s always some free time for relaxing on a beach or on the boat which is much needed as most nights go late partying.
The ratio was pretty evenly split and the range of ages was maybe 20-35 which was good. Everyone except the crew was from Australia. Most people came with a couple friends, but as a solo traveller it is really easy to meet people and you get to know everyone really quickly! The karaoke in Split on night one was the BEST and the perfect ice breaker!!
The crew were great, I felt safe all the time. Blaz was the most attentive waiter, whenever you needed a drink he was there! Also the food was the best - really good mix of local Croatian cuisine and some Western foods too.
The cabins were small but exactly what you would expect in size for a boat. Everything was really clean and well maintained by the crew, Slavko, Ivan and Roko.
It had a good deck on the top for sunbathing. All in all this trip was amazing value and I would do it again!
