          Wonderful experience in Turkey with Tahsin’s help!
          We booked our trip online and Tahsin contacted us before our trip. He explained all the details with us, from airport pick up to hotel arrangements, airport transportation. Once we were there, Tahsin helped us with last minute balloon ride booking, extra day hotel stay and changed airport transportation date……Tahsin executed everything perfectly, with his help we had great time in Turkey without any issues. Thanks again, Tahsin🙏

          Turkey's Tahsin the Terrific
          I could sit here and tell you about the AMAZING holiday that I had, but I think we all know that Turkey is amazing, as are the destinations apart of the package. I'm here to tell you about Tahsin. He is the most considerate and efficient organiser. The entire holiday went off without a hitch, even though there were self inflicted problems, thanks to him. I would advise anyone and everyone to book through him and him only if you want the most memorable time of your life.

          An unforgettable travel experience! Awesome!
          This was an amazing tour! It was extremely well organised and thought out, including many historical sights and other activities. There was never a feeling of being rushed and the tour guides were very knowledgeable. Travel Tips Turkey went above and beyond to make everything work, including an unplanned hospital visit. Tahsin, our agent who assisted us throughout, was always available when needed, very responsive and professional. The hotels were good and so was the food. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the best of Türkiye. PS the optional Hot Air Balloon ride in Cappadocia is a must!

          One of the best experiences in Cappadocia
          I'm definitely not an enthusiastic flier, and the first couple of minutes were quite scary. However, once we were up in the air, it was magical! The flight was so smooth that I forgot we were in a basket mid-air. The whole experience was amazing and after the initial scare, I felt quite safe. Our balloon pilots, one of them Ali Ciğerci, were professional and took us on an amazing tour. Definitely go on this ride if you want to experience Cappadocia to the fullest.

          Travel tips is top notch
          We arranged two tours with Travel Tips. We could not have had a better experience. Tashim was so easy to work with and always returned our messages quickly, professionally and thoroughly. I would use them again and again and again

          Great travel experience
          This review is for the Tour company and Travel agent Tahsin who provided the best service I’ve ever experienced. Tahsin went above and beyond with assisting in the whole tour experience, walked me through the itenerary. Tahsin communicated well and is very responsive to all my questions. He also offered extra help that I can’t imagine others would be kind enough to offer. This tour company made my whole tour experience great and convenient. I would highly recommend Tahsin and his company to people that plans to travel to Turkey. 110% satisfied customer here!

          A wonderful experience
          The trip was wonderful and Tahsin was excellent. It was a very structured, scenic, fun, informative, relaxing, and educational trip. I was more than satisfied with the experience. Tahsin was very detailed and structured with everything and he was very responsive as well. He went above and beyond. I highly recommend this trip package.

          7 day tour - must do!
          Our family had a great time in Turkey and we were extremely happy with Osman, who organized everything from airport transfers, flights, hotels, and tours. He helped us make the most of our vacation and we got to have a variety of experiences throughout the week. Thanks Osman!

          Amazing
          This was 2nd time using Travel Tips for tours and daily outings. Once again, our experience was fantastic. Tashin had airport transfers and trips of our choice all organised for us before leaving Scotland. Very professional and friendly and nice to have catchup in office with himself and Osman. Thanks again for everything.

          Wonderful Christmas Cruise
          We sailed from Tampa Florida on the Celebrity Constellation in DECEMBER 2022. First trip away post pandemic out of the country. It was a Christmas-New Years 10 day cruise. I can't say enough about the service, food or the general atmosphere on the ship. Yes, the ship is older and a little tired but the crew in general made up for the decor and the food was great
