- barkerpeter30 contributionsWonderfulAmazing experience great trip worth doing would definitely do it again Great tour guide good shuttle service too.Just superWritten July 29, 2024
- Zulekha J0 contributionsSapanca day turWe did the day tour of Sapanca, it covered many activities like cable car, glass terrace, Sapanca lake.. extra activities are optional paid one like ATV and cable car. The tour guide Nuri was also friendly.Written July 23, 2024
- ShwetaandAlex0 contributionsAmazing family experienceHad a wonderful sunset trip to Kekova with my wife and two kids (9 and 7). This was our second time on the boat. It has been the highlight of our holiday both times - making the 1h15 drive from Kalkan absolutely worth it. The skipper found some amazing secluded spots for us to swim and snorkel, in beautifully blue and warm water. The Roman ruins on Kekova, as well as Simena Castle, just make the most amazing backdrop. This time the skipper even found a spot for us to feed turtles, which was a truly magical experience for both our kids. Will be back again for sure. Thoroughly recommend!Written July 11, 2024

My husband had the main course of meat balls and I selected the chicken option. The fish looked like it had lots of bones. It was very crowded, a bit stuffy and warm inside. You could only see the dancing if you stood up or got closer to the dancers. It was a beautiful still night and I got some lovely photos outside. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and returned easily as well. The drinks package (with alcohol) was good as they continually served you.Written May 21, 2024
- jc399920170 contributionsPamukkale EphesusIn early May we went on a Pamukkale Ephesus one night tour by plane. At the transfer point breakfast was served by a very nice man. We waited for the bus which was an hour late due to a couple who were constantly late in meeting the bus on time. As a result the tour always felt rushed. The guide in training needs to introduce himself. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the UNESCO site of Hierapollis with its ancient temple ruins, theatre and Christian monuments. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us time to explore, enjoy and experience the calcified pools at Pamukkale. The surface is hard and slippery, very crowded and some roped off pools are damaged. Overnight in Kusadasi a seaside city at a boutique hotel. Again the 2 tourists were late. House of Virgin Mary - for us- not worth the time. tour guide’s talk was too long. Prefer a reader’s digest version or skip it and concentrate on Ephesus- wow - loads of tourists. Or visit Selcuk with its ancient ruins. For the tour guides it’s difficult to balance time when folks are constantly late or too busy taking self portraits but they need to step up and move us along. They also need to plan for a break on the way to the transfer point to the airport. Thank you to the tour guides for doing their best.Written May 21, 2024

- O8065TBantonios0 contributionsOrganising my trip to the point!This was my first time in Turkey and I was afraid of unreliable transports and bookings. After some research and suggestions I contacted Before Travel agency to organise part of my trip. They organised my Istanbul and Cappadocia travels to the point! The communication was pleasant, detailed and professional and the organisation of the tours exceeded my expectations - from transports and timings to great and informational guides. Definately going to contact them for my next visit and would strongly reccomend.Written October 4, 2023

- Scott L0 contributionsGreat. Would recommend.Excellent tour and guide. Well looked after. A lot of walking so best to avoid summer months if the heat will get to you. A fantastic experience well worth the effort.Written July 22, 2023
- Nishikantkothikar0 contributionsGood tourVery nice tour and a very nice guide. Only one thing was negative. We had booked pick up at 8 am. No one turned up. When called they said it is for 10:30 tour. But no one bothered to communicate the change to us.Written February 17, 2023
- Vacation481444773500 contributionsVery private, chill and well planned. Perfect!!We had the best day. The tour is very well planned and we didn't feel stressed for one moment. The spots to swim were just amazing, very private and even in November the water was warm enough to swim in. Our captain gave us a lot of privacy, which was also very nice. In the end, we stopped to see turtles. We ankered and just waited and within a few minutes we saw the first one coming right up to us. It was just amazing. They also have snorkles on the boat which you can use. Only points that could be better: the stay in Semena is a bit short to see the castle and eat something. We didn't have anything to eat on the boat because we're vegan, which was sad. Also, our captain's english was not good, so the only things we heard about the different stops were the names. It would've been nice to learn something about them. But all in all: highly recommented. First time in a while I was so relaxed^^Written November 7, 2022
- Sol R0 contributionsGreat customer service and well organized toursWe had a very pleasant experience with this travel agency. From booking to its itineraries were all well planned, and enjoyed the small group tour. Tour guides are knowledgeable and bus drivers are professional. Metin, who helped our stay in Turkey a very memorable experience. Thank youWritten October 23, 2022
- E1795HDpeterh0 contributionsDo NOT Book Tours with the company: "Before Travel" . They messed up TWO of our ToursStay away from the company "Before Travel". Terrible operations. #1. Whats important when touring a big city? Your Time! The driver never showed up and because their office does not open until 9am (tour pick at 8:15) their staff can't look for a new driver until 45 minutes later therefore certain attractions we were SUPPOSED TO visit were removed from the itinerary that day. But the price didn't change! #2. The driver also went to the wrong hotel. even though we sent the address, not just the hotel name. #3. THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY TOUR THEY SCREWED UP. We booked a different tour on a different day, in Turkey (Selçuk) and they LOST our reservation for that one! It was booked several weeks in advance and was already PAID. Again, DO NOT book any tours with "Before Travel" in Turkey. The ONLY saving grace for this tour was the Tour Guide. He was knowledgeable, clear, personable and even handled some rude visitors very professionally. I've traveled overseas many times, I'm very detail oriented and this was by far the worst experience.Written October 10, 2022

Hi, we're interested in the 2-day Cappadocia tour with a ballon ride, a few things I'd like to confirm before booking:
1. We're planning to stay in an Airbnb in Beyglu, will it be possible to get picked up and dropped off from the Airbnb?
2. Does this tour include flights to Cappadocia and return flights to Istanbul?
3. How fast does the tour get booked out? We're visiting in early October and there's still a chance that we might change plans due to Covid, is there a special refundable program during times like these? If not, when's a good time to book the tour?
