点评:Overall, this was an extremely well run tour with WhatsApp being used for communication. The responses were instant throughout and any minor issues were immediately resolved. The value for money was outstanding.
We stayed in 4 hotels and took 5 internal flights, with VIP private vehicles for all transfers. The hotels all had pros and cons, but they are sensibly chosen and all in prime locations. I particularly enjoyed the hotel at Kusadasi which overlooks a castle and the island of Samos.
The day tours were generally excellent and we were surprised how private they were, which enhanced the experience hugely. We were joined by zero, one or two people most days, though Cappadocia was busier. Not everything was perfect, but overall the day tours exceeded our expectations.
I recommend taking lots of cash to Turkey, as some places charge as much as 10% on card purchases and ATM fees are high. I also recommend booking extra nights in Istanbul, which requires extra time and possibly Cappadocia if you’re looking to do the hot air balloon trip, as they do get cancelled for bad weather. Balloonscanner.com is a useful website to book the balloon trip in advance. Understandably you will pay very slightly more if you book extra activities through the tour operators, which is fine for smaller purchases, but the balloons are expensive, especially for multiple travellers.
The schedule is hectic, but action-packed. If I did it again, I would add a couple of extra nights to break things up.
Thank you to the team, who helped us enjoy a wonderful time in Turkey.
翻译:总的来说,这次旅行安排得非常顺利,我们用 WhatsApp 沟通。回复非常及时,任何小问题都能立即得到解决。性价比非常高。
我们住了4家酒店,乘坐了5趟国内航班,所有接送服务均由VIP专车负责。酒店各有优缺点,但选择都很合理,而且都位于黄金地段。我特别喜欢库萨达斯的酒店,可以俯瞰城堡和萨摩斯岛。
一日游总体来说很棒,而且我们惊讶于它们的私密性,这极大地提升了体验。大多数时候,我们只有0人、1人或2人同行,不过卡帕多西亚人比较多。虽然不是一切都很完美,但总的来说,一日游超出了我们的预期。
我建议去土耳其旅行时带上大量现金,因为有些地方刷卡消费的手续费高达10%,而且ATM机的手续费也很高。我还建议在伊斯坦布尔多住几晚,这需要额外的时间;如果你想乘坐热气球,最好预订卡帕多西亚,因为热气球之旅可能会因为恶劣天气而取消。 Balloonscanner.com 是一个很实用的网站,可以提前预订热气球之旅。当然,如果通过旅行社预订额外的活动,费用会稍微高一些,但对于小额预订来说,这没什么问题,但热气球的价格很贵,尤其是多人出行。
行程安排很紧凑,但活动丰富。如果再来一次,我会多住几晚,把时间打散。
感谢团队,让我们在土耳其度过了一段美好的时光。
