Turkey Travel Guide

Zicasso's travel specialist put together a memorable trip for us to Turkey and Greece on somewhat short notice. All the transportation and tours went smoothly, and we got to see many interesting sites.

Our agent made sure we were cared for properly during our travel time too, occasionally checking in with us. We had a disappointment with one tour and he tried to make it right. I can fully recommend his services for a tour of the region.

Our journey through Turkey and Egypt in May 2025 with Zicasso's travel company was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we landed until our final departure, every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making the experience seamless, immersive, and truly unforgettable.

What set this trip apart was our exceptional tour guides. In both countries, the guides were not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also passionate, warm, and attentive. They brought the rich histories of Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, Cairo, Luxor, and beyond vividly to life. Whether we were exploring ancient ruins or navigating vibrant bazaars, our guides made every moment engaging and meaningful.

A special mention must go to our tour organizer. His behind-the-scenes coordination, quick responsiveness, and personal care were evident throughout. He ensured every transition was smooth, every need was anticipated, and every traveler felt individually looked after. His dedication and professionalism elevated the entire experience.

We returned home with a deeper appreciation of these remarkable destinations, lasting memories, and a strong desire to travel again with our travel company. We highly recommended them for anyone seeking a thoughtfully curated, high-touch travel experience.

We had a wonderfully organized vacation with Zicasso's travel agency to Turkey and Greece. Our agent organized the perfect family vacation, addressing all of our requests and needs. We had a mix of sightseeing and adventure, making a lifetime of memories that will be cherished forever. Look no further than our agent and her company to arrange your next dream vacation.

This was one of our best trips with Zicasso. We have done about nine around the world with you. The itinerary was very thoughtful and detailed, with amazing guides and accommodations; everything we asked for.

This was my second Zicasso trip, the first being to Peru in 2024, so I had full confidence in their travel company and was delighted by the level of care and attention to detail throughout the trip. 

I essentially had three trips while in Turkey. I arrived a day early to attend a six-day cooking school that was independently arranged. The travel company smoothly organized my airport pickup and first-night hotel. After the cooking school, I was again booked in the original hotel (old town, close to major sites, clean, nice), and my daughter joined me for a week-long tour of Istanbul, Cappadocia, and Ephesus. 

The guides in each region were knowledgeable, though we could have made do with fewer facts (height in meters of the Blue Mosque, area in square meters of Hagia Sophia, number of sheep in the country) and had more free time to explore on our own. We loved the major Istanbul sites, the Bosphorus cruise, and lunch on the Asia side. We were delighted with our cave hotel in Cappadocia and the hot-air balloon ride on my daughter's birthday. We loved strolling through Ephesus. 

All the internal flights were arranged, booked, and checked in by the agent, so all we had to do was show up on time. The vans that transported us were clean and nice, with good drivers. After my daughter left, I was booked for three nights on a gulet, with stops on the Mediterranean. It was a nice way to slow down and finish the busy trip. 

The highlight of my travels was dinner at my agent's home with his lovely family. He even arranged for me to find some earrings like those of his mother, which I had admired, and then drove me to the airport. Above and beyond!

This was a seamlessly organized trip. Many thanks to our Zicasso travel planner and her team. They put together a great window into Turkey for us. We were expertly taken care of by this incredible group throughout our travel. The guides were very informative and helpful, and made this journey even more special. It was a truly luxurious experience.
