The only part I didn’t like was the train. The cabins and food are not even 1 star. And you can’t sleep because the train drivers dont know how to drive the train. The carriages run in and out banging whenever the driver applied the brakes. So nobody got any sleep. ”

Accomodation: it was 2-3

Food: buffets just satisfactory. Have more sit down meals for the evening. I know there is likely a cost factor.

Driver: Ali excellent and safe

Tour guide: Esra was very good. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable

Van: fine; couple seats need fixing as they kept leaning back”

The tour guide was knowledgeable and the tour was interesting. There were some long bus trips but adequate comfort stops. The food at the 2 hotels with set menus was disappointing-no choice at all and unfortunately at the last one the food offered was not suitable for me and no options available ”

Tour guide average(rambling delivery of history of Turkey/sights difficult to follow/absorb) Would cut shop stops in Cappadocia & max time to explore area. Nice surprise-dinners were included as an upgrade. Hotels great-except in Cappadocia (ants). Dep airport transfer-could align to group's flights”

Yusuf, the tour guide, was terrific. He had exceptional knowledge of all aspects of the tour. He is also a great storyteller and provided intricate insight into the history and culture of times gone by and how Turkiye came to its current point of arrival.

The Double Tree Hilton in Istanbul was very disappointing. It was nowhere near a specific area that we could walk to, and the service within the hotel was, quite frankly, abysmal. I am in the travel industry and a Hilton Honors member and I cannot remember the last time I experienced such a poor service culture.

The tour itinerary was great; however, we were unaware that we were joining other tours, which was confusing. It seemed we had been corralled, and people split from our group at different times. Another aspect was that others in the group had different interests, which was fine for the most part. However, joining us with people on a religious/church tour in Turkiye may not have been something we felt comfortable with or shared the same interests. ”

The tour was great and the locations visited amazing - the guide was very knowledgeable and helpful . We did spend too long at places such as the leather factory and carpets which eroded time spent at the historical sites which was frustrating and disappointing and meant we were always running behind. Also the lunch stops at restaurants took a long time and again eroded valuable time at the various sites which meant we always arrived late at our hotels and often had no free time. In your notes you said that we needed cash and to have Euro however everywhere took card (including taxis) and US is favoured over Euro - there is no need for cash apart for the optional excursions and kitty. Some hotels didn't offer water with dinner which seemed 'cheap' (better to add to the tour cost and include so people don't feel cheated). Having said all this overall it was a great itinerary and everything on it we did. ”

Pluses:

- Excellent guide with "Oggie", with a fantastic sense of humour. Extremely knowledgeable on many and varying subjects

- The tour covered off exactly what I was interested in seeing and felt so lucky there were only 7 of us, which made it much more of an intimate experience

- Thankfully the weather held and enabled us to have an epic balloon ride over Cappadocia, which has to be a one in a lifetime experience

- Accommodation on the whole was much better than expected, especially the MDC Cave Hotel. Had an excellent buffet meal at Pamukkale hotel

- All vehicles were extremely comfortable and appreciated they were all relatively new

- Ali was an excellent driver

Minuses:

- Distances travelled were long on some days, but that's the nature of the beast

- Wish I had known the terraces at Heriapolis were being resurrected. In saying that, the historic amphitheatre is a gem”

We were very happy with our guide. Our location in Istanbul was good and central to the sights. The breakfast at the Kent was the best of the hotels that we stayed at. We enjoyed the Elite Hotel at Kusadasi where food was good and location excellent. There was also some nightlife in town after dinner. Some of the hotels had no labels on the food on the buffet. Consequently we did not know whether to try it or not. Desserts were usually good even if not labelled. Our driver was excellent. Our contact at Istanbul airport was easy to find and suggested that on our free days before the tour to go on a tour on the Bosphorus involving first a boat trip along the European side then lunch then a bus trip to the Asian side and a tour of a recently built mosque and a Sultan's Palace. ”

Overall it was a good tour. The tour guide was a bit brusque. He made offcolor jokes about women, I did not appreciate this.

He also walked very fast and lost the group at least once a day. On 2 occassions a group of ladies could not find him At the farewell dinner they

could not cross a busy street in Istanbul because of the traffic and the guide was gone. They found a shopkeeper that was willing to call Haydar

and could get directions so they got to the dinner 20 minutes later. Another time in Cappadocia the could not find Haydar and arrived at the Goreme museum 20 minutes later and was asked to pay to get in because Haydar had already left. Another time at the Topkapi Palace he forged ahead of a Spanish tour group and lost the whole group, This quality to stay with the group is a must for any tour guide. i would not recommend the tour for this reason. It is inconsiderate as is the offcolor jokes about women. It does not take alot of effort to turnaround and check the group is still with you and slow down if you cant find them.”

The food , generally in the hotels was poor to terrible. Hot food was always cold. The mass feeding restaurants when on a full day tour were ABYSMAL!!!! HORRID!

Dinner at the hotel the last night was awful!

Our guide the last 2 days was Mert. The first day he was good, the second day at Hieropolis, we got a brief overview, then left on our own for 3 hours, while he did whatever ….

The stops at a leather factory, Turkish delight store onyx factory, etc., were NOT appreciated and a total waste of time, as we’d rather been sightseeing. Tourists are over these traps!

The tour always ran on time, and we appreciated that.

Our guide in Cappadocia, Ibrahim, was excellent!

Guide in Istanbul very good too, but cannot recall his name.

Flights ran on time. Impressed with Turkish Airlines . ”

Yusuf is a fantastic guide also working as an archeologist. I would love to join a tour led by archeologists on historical sites in future - may be a new kind of tour.

The air conditioning in our room did not work at the accommodation at Çanakkale. I spoke to the hotel staff, and apparently, their new system is like that.”

We had two full days on this tour.

The first day was brilliant as we had such a good time with this guide, he called himself Jaye. He held a large red umbrella and it was easy to find him. He spoke clearly and projected his voice well. If we needed the bus back he would organise this beforehand our bus driver was a super fella and we clapped at times when he somehow managed to manoeuvre the bus through some very tight spaces.

The second was not a patch on the first guid. This guild would often leave us unattended saying I will met you back here in an hour (for example) lunch was not pre booked as the previous day plus we had two vegetarians with us and she was really at a lost to know where they could eat. Again just waved her hand in a general direction and said see what you can find along here !

She was unhelpful when asked if she could point out the next toilet that we could use. Again very unclear directions.

She didn’t carry anything to identify herself making to easy to lose her in the crowds.

She didn’t speak clearly or project her voice at us often turning her head as she pointed in a general direction, making it very difficult to hear.

Summing it up she really seemed uninterested in her job. Such a shame as it could have been another great day.

Hard to do the below rating as the two days were so different. ”

The tour guide was excellent and the tour good. There was one day where we travelled for over an hour to stay in Izmir and then retraced our steps the next morning back to Ephesus. It made no sense to stay in Izmir for those 2 nights and none of us stepped outside the hotel. It took forever to battle Izmir traffic. It would have been infinitely preferable to have stayed 2 nights in a hotel in Ephesus and not in a central city hotel in Izmir where we did nothing. ”

1. Accomodation options need to be desperately reviewed. All the hotels were outdated and served horrendous food.

2. Food stops and restaurant selection throughout the tour was terrible, we ended up finding our own lunch spots towards the end.

3. Tour guide was OK but it seemed very basic, and nothing we couldn't have sourced ourselves through our own exploring.. which defeats the purpose of a country specific guide. ”

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a very pleasant person. His sense of humour was also very welcoming.

We did however feel like the tour was hijacked to steer us into shopping situations that we weren't aware of when booking the tour. A whole day was lost when we were taken to a department store for an hour to buy their products exclusively and also steered into.a leather fashion show and encouraged/ hassled to buy their goods. We felt trapped and disgusted in feeling obliged to go into these stores. I can understand going to a pottery and textile place to see traditional goods and how they are made, but to be taken to places just to.shop infuriated us.

Also our time at historical venues was shortened to make time for these shopping follies. We would have preferred more time at the Heropolis than the shops.

My suggestion would be to make the shopping venues an optional extra and those not wanting to shop can relax at their hotel or extra time at more important sites. ”

I’m very disappointed. So much wasted time. How can you say 16 days, when at least 2 full days are completely wasted. The sleeper train arrive Luxor 6.30am, then waiting around for hotel. Complete waste if a day. And yet you include this day and the next in your total tour days. False advertising.

There was no explanation tgat mine was actually 2 different tours. So much information tgat wasn’t provided beforehand.

When I arrived at the hotel in Cairo at 6.55pm, your representative grabbed me and straight away asked for money. No welcome or information, just money grabbing.

Throughout the tour, although the guides had good local knowledge, I found the organisation information very poor. I had to keep asking, what are the plans for today, tomorrow etc.

the actual sites we saw were good, however it was obvious that On the Go was more interested in money than people. I didn’t go on the tour to continually go to shops just for a hard sell. ”

Our tour guide Esra was exceptional. She was organised, knowledgeable. Approachable , fun, patient and helpful. You could not ask for more. Our bus driver Ibrahim was prompt and drove safely.

A couple of the hotels were a little underwhelming. The one in Cannukale seems very old and the linen was thread bare. Just need to check what amenities they provide in the rooms. In Cappadocia we had one glass and one mug which made it difficult to have a drink. When asking for another one they said only one per room. It was a double room. The Kent was top class. Theses a minor adjustments but easily accommodated.

Overall it was an excellent tour.

Th food was fantastic but maybe some time to go and find a place in the town to eat and time to explore the townsites. Knowing the distances we have to travel to get places we know it’s not always practical.

Thank you. ”

We didn't really have a guide and were on our own to figure a lot of the details out. Communication was sparse so we didn't know what dinner arrangements were at two locations, we didn't bring towels that were needed at another spot (even when we asked for someone to give us a run down of what was needed for that day-no one communicated with us). We didn't know cash only was accepted for the Istanbul boat ride and the Cappadocia balloon ride and the guide wasn't sure we could even get on a balloon ride without much earlier reservations. I told your office when booking months ago the balloon tour and boat were priorities and was told we had to wait until there and talk with the coordinator in Turkey. We were in the back of a van handing over hundreds of dollars in cash which totally tapped us and caused us to need additional money and more ATM fees.

Drivers were all there on time and got us where we needed to be-that was the most positive aspect of the trip.

Hotel in Cappadocia was in no way a 4-star place and no one spoke English so we had to use Google Translate to talk with them.

Hotels in Kusadasi and Pamukkle were excellent.

We needed more details on what to bring, how to pay, direct connection with the airlines (not a paper receipt), meals (esp. dinners), and earlier reservations for the boat and air balloon tours.”

The tour guides were excellent.

The driver from Istanbul to Gallipoli had no English and checked his Facebook while driving, and we didn't know what was happening when we got picked up, we later found instructions on some of the other seats, but these need to be emailed to all clients so you know you are with people doing different tours and it will be sorted when you get to the office in Gallipoli in four and a half hours' time.”

the tour in Turkey was quite good. I was disapointed that you excluded Hagia Sophia, one of the most visited places in Turkey, from the tour itinerary for no valid reason.When asked from our guide as to why Hagia Sophia was not included, she said the guided tuors are not allowed there. However, on the last day of our tour, I had the opportunity to vist Hagia Sophia on my own and I saw a number of guided tours in the mosque. On the second day, we finished the Istanbul tour around 1:00 pm and there were enough time for teh guide to take us to Sophia or at least allow interested individuals to visit there in the afternoon. I guess I was the only person in our touring party had the opprtunity to visit Hagia Sophia. ”

Esra is an amazing tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and knows her tour places inside and out. She was always smiling and very patient especially after the couple of incidents on the tour one being a broken leg the other being a very angry, disgruntled and annoying traveller.

Esra handles her self very professionally in dealing with these problem.

The tour was great only disappointed was the hotel on Cappadocia. It’s was terrible, rooms were dirty/dusty. There was mould on the bathrooms. Breakfast and dinner was ordinary. The 2 outdoor pools one was empty and green and other one the water was cloudy and murky. Obviously need chlorine. (I have a pool at home)

The staff that spoke English when approached with a complaint all o a sudden could no longer speak English. On the go Tours you really need to do better with tha hotel on Cappadocia. ”

The tour was well organised. I thought our hotels were very good, but would have preferred something a bit more traditional. It certainly helped me having the dinners included, not only financially, but at the end of a day you dont want to be fussing about where you are going to eat. The buffet meals were amazing, unfortunately my food was never hot and I understand that is a problem with buffet style meals. I would have preferred an option menu. I thought the Turkish night expensive for what we got seeing I dont drink.”

The trip was advertised as 10 day, it was in reality 8 days. Day one was an only a meeting with the guide which I missed as I flew in later in the day and didn't get to my hotel until 21:30. Day ten was nothing. Including the airport transfers in the tour day count does appears a little disingenuous. ”

The accomodation at the cave hotel was out of this world amazing and beautiful, the food was a bit ordinary and staff not so attentive, would have loved to stay longer and try one of the massages. The other hotels were good but that one just stood out for me.

Everything, ranging from - On The Go Tours reps, guides, tours, accommodation, meals etc. was absolutely fantastic! We could not fault them at all! Our Gulet tour in Turkey was changed whilst we were in France and the OTGT team took care of everything for us, including arranging a car and driver, that involved a trip of 3 hours each way!!!

Our holiday was truly wonderful and we had such a fabulous time, it makes us believe that one of the reasons for this, was because OTGT took away all of the drama and stress that comes with organising a holiday, making the whole time absolute smooth sailing.”

Tour guide on day 1 was excellent .

Problem however was that the hotel we ended up in was shabby, old, and really inappropriate. It put a damper on our entire stay. Your UK punters may be accustomed to inferior accommodation, but I must confess that we were really disappointed with the hotel …… to call it a “ dump” is probably being too kind.”

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”

This level of enjoyment was only made possible by the careful execution of the entire trip by our guide

He was hosted us beyond his call of duty, shared deep insights into the economic political and historical perspectives of Turkey and was always attentive to everyone’s needs. His English was cute and entertaining and his energy and enthusiasm sprinkled with a wicked sense of humour made the holiday memorable

We had a wonderful tour, bit of a hiccup at the airport, as there was no one to collect us, but it was quickly resolved. Both the tour guide and driver of the tour bus were more then competent. The tour guide had an amazing array of knowledge of the area in which we travelled, and the sites and places of interested we visited, he was also able to answer any general information related to Turkey. He managed the group well as it related to time keeping without making us feel rushed, or having time to ourselves. The coach was spacious and comfortable. The hotels in which we stayed were comfortable and well appointed, the dinners and breakfasts had a wide array of options.

Although we had initially booked to go to Croatia in 2020, COVID made that impossible, however our tour to Turkey was a great alternative and we were not disappointed.

Would we use On the Go Tours again, certainly and we will encourage our friends to do the same. ”

Another beautiful trip with On The Go. After having had a great experience with them in Jordan, I decided to book a trip to Turkey with them, and I was not disappointed. The tour was very well organised, it is unbelievable how many things we managed to see in 10 days considering the distance between all the stops in the itinerary. A lot of time was spent on the road, however there were regular breaks every 1.5h with 1 hour stop for lunch. An early start in the morning, but that gave us the chance to go back to the hotels by late afternoon and relax. Their choice of hotels was excellent, most of them had a spa, swimming pools and fitness center. The guide, Metin, was very knowledgeable and his explanations allowed us to have a great sense of the history and the culture of Turkey. Metin also made our journey enjoyable with his funny stories, which made the long drives pass quickly. The main highlight of this trip was Cappadocia and the hot air balloon ride: Cappadocia is unbelievable, it seems like being in a dream. I totally recommend this tour and I would suggest that you spend one or two extra days in Istanbul (maybe one pre-tour and one post-tour) as it is a beautiful city and it is worth spending more time visiting it. Thanks On The Go for another wonderful experience!”

I decided to return to Turkey as my family had not been before, second time around and first time doing a trip with On The Go was such an amazing experience. I was unsure how the trip would be in winter but it was just as magical and a completely different experience then going in summer. I was so greatful to be able to do the hot air ballooning in Cappadocia, was definitely a highlight of the trip and everyone should consider doing it.

Reggie our guide was so much fun, extremely informative and an overall very professional guide and asset to the business! His passion for his country shines through his talks and he is a very approachable person social as well. I could recommend this tour to anyone as it is inviting for all. Adding to that, the food and drinks in Turkey is delicious and affordable. Will definitely go with On The Go again!”

Travel was very comfortable and spacious. The guides had us feeling like a lot of old friends in just a few days.....It was a great trip, our first organized trip, and I would most certainly do it with On the Go again.

The price, for what we got , was very reasonable. Travel was easy, hotels were very good, and food was also very good. Many buffets, so picky eaters had many choices. Airport transfers were smooth, as were all accommodation in and out of hotels. Well worth the extensive planning that went into this trip.”

The tour was great, what made it great was Lale, nothing was an effort for her, even as to say I had an issue where I needed a dentist and she went out of her way to find one, she even took her time to take me there ! I’ve been on a few tours and I have to say she is one great tour guide !!! She is very valuable to your company and also she is very knowledgeable about this beautiful country. 10 out of 10 ”

The destinations were amazing. The wonders we were exposed to are a once in a lifetime to witness. From the time we were picked up from the airport to the time we returned to the airport our guide and driver were amazing. The knowledge of our guide Metin was captivating. The history was intriguing and how they wove it to the present to give us a real feel of Turkey today.”

Egypt section: Visiting Egypt was an amazing experience. The tour was well designed and gave us a chance to visit all the awsome historical places. Medo knows the history of the different places, and from Egypt in general, and make it available to us in an easy way; he's an amazing guide. Even when we were struggling with the heat, he was able to engage us in the vast knowledge about the place we were visiting.

He certainly is a guide I would recommend to anybody visiting Egypt!

Shukran Medo!”

We were lucky enough to do the hot air ballooning in Cappadocia. This is the ultimate bucket list item to tick a picture will never give you a complete picture. Throughout this tour, Burhan who needs special recognition was incredible. Not only was he knowledgeable but brought humour to the tour! He is an asset to On The Go Tours.”
