Wonderful tour and fantastic tour guide, couldn’t have wished for more.

The only disappointment was the accommodation in Cappadocia, apparently we were upgraded however the accommodation (guest rooms) were absolutely filthy, also the air con didn’t work or the fridge.

There was no ventilation so we had to leave our door open with chain on which is not acceptable.

The floor was so filthy we had to wear jandles at all times.

Talking to the other guests they thought their rooms, especially the floors were filthy and also had issues with amenities.

Our bathroom/toilet also had an awful smell, smelt like a men’s public urinal.

We had to spend 2 nights in this accommodation, all the other accommodations were wonderful however this particular one certainly let the tour down.

Would also like to say our guide and bus driver were absolutely amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour, it was just a shame about the Cappadocia accommodation or the tour would have been perfect.”

The tour was okay but had some faults. Specifically, the first hotel in Istanbul (Hotel Grand Halic) was poor. It was dirty and out-dated. The breakfast was poor and it was noisy. It was not 4 star as advertised. The hotel for the 23rd was nice, however we arrived later than planned (around 7:30pm) so I didn't get to experience much of it. The final hotel (Golden Tulip Istanbul) was of a better standard than the previous hotel, however it was in a poor location with very little around. I ended up needing to get a taxi into Istanbul proper which took 40 minutes in peak hour.

We had to supply money towards the kitty (understandable) for entrance tickets, etc. On my paperwork, this was stated we could pay in Turkish Lira, however we needed to pay in Euros. This was frustrating as many people did not have enough, or any Euros on them and had to seek them from an ATM or money exchange.

The tour itself was okay but we had very long days (I understand ANZAC Day is long, but the other days were too). The days dragged on as people did not return to the bus or meeting point on time, which meant we were late leaving. For example, people being late meant we missed the ferry which meant we had to wait around for an hour for another ferry. People were late most times, and I don't think we left many places on time, usually 5 or 10 minutes later than planned.

The food across the tour was not a great standard. I understand tours often don't have fantastic food, but the quality of food and choices were quite poor on this tour. I had come to this tour after finishing another tour with another company and have to say I had a better experience with the other company. ”

The tour, guide and driver were fantastic. The Blue Mosque was closed on the day of the tour which was disappointing. I also would ask On the Go tours admin to review the pre tour options ie the spice market and cruise as they are duplicated again in other tours. The back street tours goes to the spice markets and the cruise is undertaken during the main tour. The guide however for the spice market tour and cruise was very good. Also some consideration should be given to the ballooning operator and people were getting better prices independently sometimes up to $400 cheaper”
