We travelled in Türkiye on tour arranged and coordinated by the Turkish Travel Centre. The trip was fantastic and without a single problem. The accommodation was of a very high standard and each hotel well situated for safety and site seeing in the city or town, the food provided was just superb. Each component of the trip was expertly coordinated by Makbule, who made contact every day to update and advise the details of the coming day and travel arrangements, we had complete trust in her to get us around safely. The drivers were excellent hospitable and friendly, vehicles were modern and of high standard. The road, marine and air travel was seamlessly integrated and every transfer was on time and as described and planned. The day tours were managed and led by expert guides who made the experiences so memorable and enjoyable. A wonderful holiday in a land of intrigue and beautiful people. Thoroughly recommend the Turkish Travel Centre to coordinate and arrange your trip to Turkiye and thanks Makbule for our great trip.

We have returned from our trip to Turkey and had the most wonderful time. The communication with Makbule was seamless, friendly and efficient. The hotels were first class and exceeded our expectations. The transport and pick-ups went like clockwork. I think we saw as many sights and had as many experiences as was possible in the given time. The Turkish people were very friendly and the language wasn’t a barrier to having a laugh. We met some great fellow Australians who were on the same journey and we will remain friends and visit them on our travels within Australia. We can certainly recommend your services to friends and family, several of who have indicated, after following our trip, they would like to visit Turkey. I will be encouraging them to go! Thank you for your assistance and input in helping us organise this trip. We absolutely loved it! Kind regards Christine & Geoff M.

Just to let you know that we arrived back home this morning from Turkey via Dubai. Our Gallipoli Plus tour was wonderful and Turkey is such a historic country!! Makbule in Istanbul helped us coordinate all necessary transfers…she was very communicative and advised us almost daily about our tour details. Tour guides were also very knowledgeable and each tour day was well organised. Accommodation was very comfortable and the included meals provided us with an enormous variety of the excellent Turkish cuisine. Thanks again and regards

Good afternoon Michael, We arrived home a week ago from our Best of Turkey Plus Gallipoli tour. Wow what a tour!! We were beyond impressed with the personal transfers and all the amazing guides for our tours and the fact that we did these tours in small groups. Special mention to Eleif in Istanbul (Old Town tour), TJ for Gallipoli and Gorkhan in Cappadocia for 2 days. All the hotels were so well located and particularly Levni Spa Hotel Istanbul was great as it was so close to everything. They were all beautiful and we had incredible views from our hotels in Canakkale and Kusadasi. The MDC cave hotel in Cappadocia was such an experience and again a beautiful hotel. We were so glad to do the balloon flight - we both don’t like heights but there was no fear climbing into the balloon and up and up we went. Such a wonderful experience we will never forget. Just to have 60+ balloons flying with you was an incredible experience and a joy to see. Michael we can’t tell you enough how much we loved this trip and the fact that it was so well organised. Everything went so smoothly. We had nothing to worry about. Which brings us to express our heartfelt thanks to Makbule for all her communication about our pick ups, departure times and upcoming travels. Whilst we know that this is her job it was the way she communicated that made us feel really well looked after and special. We never felt like we were on our own totally in Turkey. We knew she would be there for us. I sent her a quick message one night about 10pm just to let her know we were enjoying ourselves and everything was going perfectly thinking she would read it the next day. But no she replied that night to say she was happy to hear we were really enjoying our holiday etc. We found the Turkish people very warm and friendly and the country has so much much history and beauty. It has so much to offer. Every day brought something different and it was always exciting. Thank you again Michael and your team in Melbourne and Istanbul. We will certainly refer anyone thinking of travelling to Turkey to make contact with you at Turkey Travel Centre. Kindest regards. Symmans

We loved the hotels, the tour busses were comfortable, the guides very informative. It was a shame we didn’t get to meet you personally. Thank you once again. And Michael; thank you as well for your prompt responses to all my emails and requests. I wish you much success! Best regards, M. Rodríguez

This was the best trip my family has ever taken! Amazing communication from Michael before the trip and Makbule while in Turkey, and they made us feel very comfortable traveling with our 5 and 8 year old girls. I want to recommend the Lycian Way tour in particular to families. It had the perfect balance of seeing amazing sights and learning historical facts while also having plenty of downtime at the beach and in the sea. It really made it the perfect holiday. The Turkish people loved our children and were so, so kind to them, from tour guides to hotel workers to random shops keepers. I loved that we were able to add the hot air balloon in Pamukkale and also enjoy a cruise day trip. I will be recommending this your company in particular to all of our friends back in America.

Thanks Michael and Makbule for a great tour of Turkey We did the Grand Turkey Tour and we had a fantastic time .Makbule messaged us for our pickups and all our schedule went to plan .Our hotels were well located and the gulet trip was fun .We were happy with our room on the gulet as it was in the middle .Some had problems with smells at the back of the boat .So I would head towards the front or middle atleast . We had a great group of ten in our tour and everyone got on really well .The guides were all amazing very passionate about their country . We were a bit nervous about travelling in Turkey particularly as we arrived the weekend of the general election.We didn’t need to worry as we felt very safe . The Turkish people were all lovely . I was surprised by the the quality of the highways and the cleanliness of the well planned stops .If we had long drive the quides always made sure we had a coffee stop and water was always provided . The food included was all good ,mostly buffet or three courses even on the gulet trip . Infact we were amazed by the full board meals that came out of the small kitchen . Turkey has so much to see and offer and we had a great experience . Thanks Michael and Makbule it was a great way to travel

Right from my first inquiry from Michael to the day to day management of our tour by Makbule we could not have been better looked after. We chose the Grand Turkey Tour and happily paid the extra for a private tour. This was well worth it for us because we are in our mid seventies and had some health issues. Because we were on a private tour we were able to change a couple of the regular hotel choices to ones we had always wanted to stay in. All the regular hotels normally used by this company were excellent. Michael carefully followed our request for hotel rooms with as few stairs as possible. Every hotel was aware of this and gave us a room on the ground floor. We asked Michael for a bird watching tour somewhere and he happily included it in our itinerary. The quality of the guides was also a highlight. They were always punctual, pleasant and well informed. They all listened to us when we explained why we were doing a private tour and modified their itinerary . They gave us rest stops whenever we needed them. The transfer vehicles were clean and comfortable. Makbule sent a daily email outlining what was happening the next day. She responded quickly to any questions we had. Michael organised all our flights and everything worked well. I will recommend this company to anyone interested in travelling to Türkiye or the other countries they cover. I wish they did the whole world! Thank you so much Makbule and Michael.

We are back in Western Australia safe and sound after our wonderful trip to Turkey. Everything ran like clockwork, the accommodation was excellent (especially La Vista in Kusadasi and MCD in Cappadocia), and the guides were knowledgeable and accommodating. Every city or town we visited had something special to offer and we were surprised at the ancient history of the country. The hot air ballooning was a highlight! We also loved the small size of the group and the fact that people came and went throughout our 10 days. We highly recommend TTC and have already passed on your website details to some good friends. Job well done and thanks from the Repacholis and Brockmans.
