Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- imanaG3793LR0 contributionsGreat tour with yesraWe had two beautiful days woth our guide yesra who is very informarive. First day ephesus and than pamukkale. The agency always took care of us during the tour. Thank you very mich castke travelWritten September 16, 2024
- Greta_30790 contributionsVery knowledgeable across three different private day tours.Yesra guided us for three different private day tours out of Kusadasi - including Ephesus, Aphrodisias, Pamukkale, Prienne, Miletus, and Didyma - many locations, and yet Yesra and was very knowledgeable at each different location. Yesra has good English, was very friendly, and also adjusted the itinerary to suit our preferences on each day. We enjoyed our tours and time with Yesra and recommend that book your guided tour with Yesra!Written September 16, 2024
- vesper h0 contributionsFantastic private day trip from bodrumWould highly recommend Castle. Communication before the day was excellent. On the day they arrived promptly and contacted us on arrival. Our guide spoke fluent English and was very knowledgeable about the places we visited, adding to the whole experience. Lunch was at a local Turkish restaurant and was very good. Pacing of the day was very much down to what we wanted, and plenty of stops during the whole day if needed. Cost included transport, driver, guide, lunch and entrance tickets. Would not hesitate to recommend.Written September 13, 2024
- klaudette0 contributionsProfessonal and trustful companyPrivate day tour Salda lake and Pamukkale Serious company with very competent personnel. The tour was organized in a perfect way, based on our needs and the expertise of the operators. Excellent and rapid communication, reasonable price. Great experience. I contacted them for a private tour that allowed us to visit the most of Pamukkale and its surroundings, visiting Kaklik cave and Salda Lake (amazing), and in a blink, I had a good offer including all we needed. The possibility to talk was an additional warranty on the reliability of the company. Absolutely recommended!Written September 12, 2024
- Curiosity550468497990 contributionsGreat Ephesus tourThis is the closest tour i found to do review, Castle Travel actually arranged transport from our hotel in Pamukkale to Denizli train station and we were picked up at Selcuk train station, they were on time and started the Ephesus tour guided by Seyhan who is very knowledgeable, organized and also helped with the best spot to take photos, then continued on to the temple of Artemis, lunch was then provided which was very good, and lastly toured the house of Virgin Mary which for me is the highlight of the tour. Castle travel with the assistance of Tugra was also able to accommodate our request to drop us off to our hotel instead of their usual route of Izmir airport. They are easy to talk to and they respond quickly. They are very professional and will definitely recommend to book any tour in TurkeyWritten September 10, 2024
- Z635TZmanuelg0 contributionsPrivate tour to Sagalassos from SideI found Castle Travel online and was impressed by the customers' good reviews about travel experiences with this agency. I contacted Castel Travel and booked a private tour to Sagalassos from Side. The agency was very professional: they allowed me to pay for the day tour by card only, charged my card with the sum we agreed, and sent me the invoice and the travel voucher. The driver punctually picked me up from my hotel, and the trip to Sagalassos was enjoyable. My guide, Tulay, constantly gave me a lot of exciting information about the places we passed by, the history of the region and its surroundings. We spent a couple of hours at Sagalassos ... an impressive archaeological site. Tulay significantly helped me understand this place's uniqueness, explaining to me the evolution of the archaeological excavations, the history of the Roman town, and its cultural, military, and economic relevance. I've enjoyed every minute spent in that magic place. At noon, we had a tasty lunch in one of the restaurants in Aglasun (included in the trip price). In the afternoon, we visited the fantastic Burdur Archaeological Museum, where the original sculptures of Sagalassos are hosted. Tulay was again very helpful in understanding the value of the place. Finally, I was dropped off in excellent condition and spirit at my hotel. Thank you, Castel Travel and Tulay, for this fantastic experience; I would travel with you again anywhere in Turkey. I strongly recommend Sagalassos as one of the most impressive ancient sites in Turkey !!!Written September 6, 2024
- Curiosity550468497990 contributionsCappadocia experienceFound this travel agency online and took a chance to book a tour with the help of Tugra who has been very helpful, accommodating and provided great service with coordinating my preference of having the hot air balloon and red tour on the same day. Experience was great, everything was on time and didn’t feel like they are rushing us. Shout out to Tugra for giving amazing customer service.Written September 5, 2024

- aliciagE8888XJ0 contributionsAmazing day trip in EphesusWe spend our day exploring Virgin Mary’s House, the Ancient City of Ephesus, Sanctuary of St John’s and Isa Bey Mosque among other attractions. Despite an extremely hot weather, we had an excellent journey. Our guide, Seyhan Dogan from Travel Castle, was very knowledgeable, experienced and accommodative of our needs. Seyhan’s English is flawless, he has great sense of humor and enjoys what he’s doing. On top of everything, he took us to excellent shops where we found amazing deals! Highly recommendWritten July 20, 2024
