Mt wife and I just came back from this trip and it was amazing. The tour was serviced by Karavan Travel. The travel guides we had were very friendly and very knowledgeable of the history of the places we went to. Our guides name was Mehmet Gok and was very thorough in his explanation and description of all the places we went to. The Cruise portion of this itinerary was excellent and the food and drinks was very good. We highly recommend this trip.

I just got back from taking this tour. Pros: Great trip for the value, get to see lots of things, the Turkey portion is the best, good guide. Cons: Pending on how many people attend, you are on your during the cruise portion of the trip. Working with Karavan can be somewhat difficult. Be careful to ask for everything in writing and follow up if you have any questions or concerns. You need to be responsible for everything- otherwise details and plans will fall through the cracks. Overall I enjoyed the tour because I could see everything. I would not recommend this for those who are not up for the itinerary- its pretty aggressive. Each morning wakeup/activity can be as early as 5am with some occurring at 7am or 745am. Plan accordingly. The drive from Pumakkale to Cappadocia is 7 hours- just an FYI. Overall, great for the value. Just know what you are buying into!
