Travel Talk Tours Recensioni 

Travel Turkey with its natural wonders, awe-inspiring buildings and ancient beauty, combined with unique experiences amongst warm and welcoming people! Then add a perfect host in Mustafa and you can’t go wrong!

AMAZING !! Unforgettable, every day exceeded the previous one - which I did not think was possible! We truly did experience the BEST of Turkey. Hats off to our wonderful guide, Mustafa, for getting us to everywhere at the best possible time (ie Pamukale first thing in the morning when it was cool and no crowds !) and looking after us all to enable us to have the best time possible. Our group has been full of beautiful souls I have been blessed to cross paths with - lots of new friends. Thank you 🙏 everyone at Traveltalk, Mustafa and our wonderful drivers. I have loved every minute!!! Grateful from the bottom of my heart 🙏❤️

I completed the 12 day TurkishTour by Gulet with Travel Talk. The tour overall was a fantastic experience. The tour guide Mustafa was very informative, entertaining and considerate guide. The hotels during the stay were clean and comfortable. The optional activities were great experiences. The food sometimes got repetitive at the hotels as they were all buffet. It would have been nice to go into town some nights as a group and eat at a local restaurant. The gulet experience was amazing. The crew on board went above and beyond in their service. Would recommend to anyone wanting to experience the Turkey culture.

My partner and I did the 12 day Turkey by land tour and it was incredible! It exceeded our expectations. Our guide Mustafa was amazing, he has so much knowledge and took us to sites at the best times to avoid the crowds where possible. He made sure we were well looked after and gave us all the information we needed each day. Most of the hotels were brand new and all of them had swimming pools which was great after a hot day exploring. The tour was awesome, we went to so many different places, ancient ruins, beaches and so many activities to choose from too. We did a lot of travelling by bus but it was nice to see so much of the countryside. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone. It was a great experience exploring Turkey 😊

Great group and tour guide (Mustafa is a legend!) We covered a lot of ground and saw some of the most amazing sights. Mus is also a very informative and organised guide, educating the group about Turkey and keeping the tour running smoothly.

My only major feedback is that it would be great if Travel Talk could explicitly point out extra costs in terms of upgrades and sightseeing/activities during the booking stage so that guests can budget properly and be more prepared with necessary cash out, etc. Also, some hotels are isolated so it made it difficult to get into town for amenities during free time.

Other than that, trip of a lifetime - I have loved every minute!

I did a 12 day-on land Turkey tour!
Overall, it's a great experience, knowledgeable guide Mustafa, good hotels and the food was great in some hotels!
I was expecting a bus full of 20-40 aged people but there were mostly 40+ to 75 year olds and couples.
So it was a bit disappointing in that aspect and I understand that it can change for other dates!
Will definitely recommend this trip :)
Best regards,

Simon tour guide and good coach drivers made the tour, local guides gave good talks, history & culture were fascinating, hotel star ratings weren't accurate some of the hotels used let the tour down a bit, lots to see and do in a complex area of Eastern Europe, a good taster for a longer trip another time maybe

I have just experienced my worst travel experience ever. I was at the arrival hall at 3 p.m., but the shuttle did not come at all. After the tour ended, I complained about it, and they replied that the shuttle was scheduled for pick-up at 3 PM. I know that the shuttle was scheduled to depart at 3 p.m., but where was the shuttle? I was later told by one of the representatives that the shuttle was not arranged as I did not send my flight details, but in fact one of their representative has confirmed to me on WhatsApp that they have received my details and that they have contacted the local operator. They did not admit their mistakes and only offered me some money as a 'GESTURE OF GOODWILL,' which is far less than what I paid for the taxi to the hotel. In addition, the tour guide often changed the iternary without our consent. We did not do the city tour on the last day, the Anuradhapura tour, and the bicycle tour. Although they promised me that if there are any services that were not used, they would be happy to review and process a refund for those. However, they just ignored my email after I made the complaints. Also, the hotel ratings provided by Traveltalk are not correct. They often list 4 stars hotels as 5 stars hotels and 3 star hotels as 4 stars hotel. I broke my hand and my back as a result of the guide's reckless actions, but again, no apologies have ever been made by Travel Talk.

P.S. (on the reply of the Travel Talk Tours)
-It would be quite interesting to know that after all the investigations, if there is any, Travel Talk still blames me for the shuttle, while one of their representative has confirmed to me that the shuttle has been scheduled on Whatsapp.
-I have never gotten any feedback or replies regarding my complaints about the guide, the safety of the car (no seatbelt), compulsory shopping, and others.
- I am very interested in where the official star ratings come from, when the Google Map, site for hotel booking, the hotels' official website, and even the hotel staff said different things. To ensure the quality of the hotels is one thing, but to lie about the star ratings of the hotel is another thing. I would be quite interested to know how Travel Talk rate the hotels, and I am sure that it will revolutionise the whole travel and tourism industry.

I just got home from what has been the trip of a lifetime! Turkey is a beautiful country, and I am so grateful for Mustafa and Travel Talk for putting together this amazing tour. I definitely could not have seen all of the places I have been to these past 12 days on my own! I really enjoyed learning the history of all the places we went. Ephesus was a favorite of mine, along with Cappadocia. And the Turkish Bath experience is not to be missed. Thank you Travel Talk!

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.
