Turkey Travel Centre arranged a local private 1 day tour for us in Cappadocia (we flew in for the day from Istanbul). It was a memorable experience. We were met at the airport and visited all the amazing sites for a full day before being returned to the airport. The guide was very knowledgeable and the driver drove safely over some long distances. We didn't waste our time being driven to shops. Arranging the tour through an Australian-based agency gave us the peace-of-mind that were weren't simply dealing with a dodgy non-existent company in Turkey. It's a bit more expensive but less stressful.

From our initial enquiry to Turkey Travel Centre through to our farewells on our way home, our trip to Turkey more than exceeded our expectations. The transport organised was professional and punctual, the boutique hotels exceptional, our wonderful guide amazing ........ and then there was Turkey - stunning, spectacular, historic, warm and friendly. We had 2 days on our own in Istanbul before joining our tour which afforded us the opportunity to spread our wings - on foot of course - exploring and discovering. We then met our guide and headed off on our adventure. Our guide was so knowledgeable and really loved his job. We learnt so much whilst travelling through the beautiful country and we were afforded plenty of time to explore on our own as well. The Ancient History we so loved at school suddenly became real and our 2 days spend on the Battlefields of Gallipoli was definitely a moving and emotional experience. We could not fault any of the arrangements made - whilst professional in every way, Turkey Travel Centre was also extremely caring and respectful - always putting their clients first. I have no hesitation in recommending this Company to anyone considering a trip to this amazing Country and beyond - thank you all for making us so welcome.

For people who are thinking of travelling to Turkey for the first time – or for return trip, we highly recommend the very professional and capable services of Turkey Travel Centre. At all times we felt safe and in good hands. The team is customer focussed and has an excellent service mentality. We were very impressed with the way that Turkey Travel Centre team organised our 10 day custom tour of the Black Sea and surrounds. The pre-trip service from Australia was efficient, timely and hassle free. Our guide in Turkey was excellent. He was flexible with our arrangements which we appreciated greatly, tweaking our itinerary as he understood our interests. His suggestions transformed the itinerary that we had devised into a truly unforgettable insight into this area of Turkey. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable with regard to a huge range of subjects – history, religion, anthropology, local customs and art. His explanations and communications about what we were seeing were interesting and relevant. He was an excellent ambassador for Turkey, and helped us appreciate the rich culture and warmth of the Turkish people and society. His rapport with us and with the people we encountered – the man who made us a local speciality 'menemen', the man who proudly took us for a tour of the tea processing factory, the men who gave us white roses at the autostop – warmed our hearts and spirits. We were left with a very positive and enriching experience due to our guide's exceptional experience and skills.

Just a short note to say how much we very much enjoyed our holiday in Turkey. Some key things we learned about Turkey: · Turkey is as safe as any other European city. At no stage did we feel unsafe, uncertain or vulnerable. In fact we felt very safe. There was a good security presence at key points: airport and tourist attractions, which we found comforting. Nor was the security presence overwhelming to the point that it made travel difficult. We were in Turkey during the recent referendum and we saw no protests or demonstrations. The day after the referendum was just another day in this wonderful country. · The food is amazing. We loved the food and there was lots of it! The BBQ’ed lamb, beef and chicken was delicious. The seafood at Kuşadashi was fresh and cooked over a hot grill Turkish style. The vegetables were fresh and tender, and the fruit (especially the oranges) juicy and to die for. We have never tasted Turkish delight like that which we found in the spice bazaar in Istanbul. · Turkey has a rich and diverse culture and history. If you are interested in Greek, Roman, Byzantium, Christian and Islamic history, go to Turkey. Sitting astride the Silk Road, Turkey is a rich confluence of history and culture. We could spend months in Istanbul walking the back streets absorbing the rich history of this wonderful city. The Greek and Roman ruins of Ephesus, Troy, Pergamon and PMD are breathtaking. · Turkey is very cheap. Hotels, food, transport are all very cheap by Australian standards. Daily living costs in most of Turkey was less than $AUS50 per person. · The transport system is modern and very easy to use. We caught a modern air-conditioned bus from Istanbul to Eceabat, and later a Turkish Airlines domestic flight from Denizli to Istanbul. Services were prompt, clean and very professional. The internal flight was as good as any flight between Sydney to Melbourne flying Qantas. · Most importantly, the people are incredibly warm and likeable. They have a natural affinity with Australians, not so much for our shared military experience, but we seem to share good nature and optimism. The team at TTC helped us pull together a trip to the Aegean and Istanbul which was truly memorable. We were fortunate to be privately guided on most days. The standard of guides in Turkey is very high. All were university educated, spoke beautiful English and were lovely people. The guides were a key element to our wonderful holiday. The accommodation booked by TTC was four star, modern, clean and comfortable. We very much enjoyed the accommodation in Istanbul at the Dosso Dossi within walking distance of the historical old city sites. Most importantly, we are determined to return to Turkey as we believe that this was one of the best holidays we ever experienced.

Thank you Turkey Travel Centre! We had THE BEST trip!!! It was enhanced by yourself, Mehmet and Ihsan. Your organisation, knowledge, prompt responses and helpfulness was fantastic. We also loved Mehmet (at the end of our tour, explaining that a tip was not necessary as he loved his job). One of our pet hates is the tipping at the end of a tour. As for the trip, it was exceptional value for money, so full on and so full of amazing experiences. We would have liked an extra day on the way down the coast, just to enjoy one of the towns and a wander around the real places. The experiences of Cappadocia were just awesome. We enjoyed everything. Once again thanks. We will definitely recommend you to others and hopefully we might be able to return one day to enjoy the other million places and experiences that we didn't have time for. Best wishes and thanks again!

Thank you for organizing our Turkey tour, we have had an amazing time, have seen beautiful sights and met some lovely people. All the accommodation was great with all staff very friendly and accommodating and we would happily stay at any of these hotels again. They were all in great locations as we were able to walk from the hotel to some great restaurants and shopping areas. The staff at the Sokullu Pasa Hotel in Istanbul were very helpful after the terrorist bombing at the airport ,checking with pickups and the airport to make sure all was ok. A sad ending to our trip but this would not put us off going back to such a beautiful, friendly country. Our Show in Istanbul was cancelled due to lack of people but we were compensated with a lovely meal. All pickups were punctual and all the guides very friendly, they spoke English very clearly and had an amazing amount of knowledge. Its very hard to have a favourite place as we loved all the places we went to but if we had to name any it would be Kas with its beautiful setting and Cappadocia. The balloon ride was amazing and what a fantastic place to do it. Thank you for organizing our trip and the fantastic experiences we have had.

Excellent service from initial enquiry to final day of holiday.We enjoyed 13 day Treasures of Turkey tour. Accomodation and transport was good. Turkish food is delicious. Tour guides well informed and eager to share their expertise. Very friendly people. Istanbul would have to be my favorite city ever visited.

Turkey Travel Centre have been amazing - from being flexible in tailoring my tour to my interest, to the ease in which every detail has been seamlessly organised and executed. My tour has combined the wonder of ancient Turkey with the beauty of its coastline. This has been one of the best holidays I've had. Delicious food, courteous and lovely people, amazing sights, and a sophistication that rivals Europe! Thank you Turkey Travel Centre for making my holiday enjoyable and memorable! I highly recommend this organisation if your are planning a holiday to this beautiful country!!

I am just back to Melbourne after a wonderful holiday in Turkey. A team member has organised everything from the beginning to end. Being a solo traveller I was hesitant going to Turkey but all my worries were proved wrong. Turkish people are very hospitable, friendly and helpful. Thank you for organising a wonderful holiday, a trip of a life time. I will be back before you know it.

We are back in Melbourne now and our trip in Turkey went extremely well. We can't fault your guides, transfers, hotels picked, everything was spot on. Ihsan kept in contact with us all the time to ensure a smooth holiday with no hassles. My favourite was the balloon flight over Capadocia. I was't keen on 5am wake up but that was surely worth it. I would not hesitate to recommend your company to everyone who is traveling to Turkey. All the best

Following our review on review centre.com, Turkey Travel Centre has contacted us and has apologise for the inconvenience incurred during our holiday. It seem there was a miscommunication somewhere along the line. Turkey Travel Centre has managed our concern professionally and effectively. This showed they have client's satisfaction at heart. There were several emails follow up to ensure all the issues were addressed to make sure that future client will experience the best Turkey has to offer.I am now feel at ease and if I am to travel to Turkey again, I will be using their service as I now know how much Turkey Travel Centre care about their client's satisfaction.  We booked our holiday through Turkey Travel Centre for our holiday in November. At first we have found many reviews were very useful and a lot of people who have book through them have wonderful experiences. However, we did not experience the same. We did not get the program we purchased. This is due to the way the tour operate. Pretty much Turkey Travel Centre is acting like a middle man between us and the local tour operator. This mean we get lump with different people everyday (not that this a a problem). The local tour operators also have their own tour schedule and sometime it is not the same as the schedule we purchased through Turkey Travel Centre. We also found other people who purchased the tour direct from the local tour operators has paid much lower than what we paid. Hence, I would not recommend it to anyone. I wish I have done more research.  > On the good side, they have all your flight, hotel and tour program planned for your.

I would highly recommend this agency as the level of service was superb and everything happened as it was supposed to. In fact it was better than we expected.

Exciting, efficient, helpful and professional. We had to modify a standard TTC tour to fit in with our timelines and the result was an amazing, hassle-free vacation which ended with the most amazing experiences in the caves, underground cities and fairy chimneys of Cappadocia......topped with a surreal hot air balloon flight. We did our own exploring in Istanbul, after a side trip to Iran, then we were picked up from our hotel, to start with a visit to Gallipoli. The trip ranged from historical Ephesus to lovely Kas and a gulet trip on the med We cannot fault the efficient organisation, friendly professional staff and the choice of hotels, guides and itinerary.......we recommend them most highly.

We used TTC for our arrangements in Turkey and one of the highlights was the day tour of Istanbul. The walking tour included all the usual "must do" sights of this amazing city, but what made the tour so memorable was the excellent tour guide that accompanied us throughout the day. His knowledge, enthusiasm and love for Istanbul was clearly evident. His commentary really managed to bring alive the history of the place. Throughout the rest of trip the level of service provided by TTC was excellent as was their communication.

We travelled to Turkey, spent 4 days in Istanbul on our own, a beautiful and fascinating city, easy and safe . Then we had the remainder of our trip organised by Michael Altan and Ihsan Dincel of TTC and it ran like clockwork.They booked internal flights to Cappadocia where we had 2x day tours , South Cappadocia to visit an Underground city and lovely Ilhara Valley, then next day North Cappadocia with the marvellous "other planet" landscape of fairy chimneys at Zelve and the wonderful Goreme Open Air Museum with the cave churches. Our morning on day 2 began with the amazing Hot Air ballooning over this incredible landscape, 100 balloons up at sunrise..just glorious. It was the best place on earth to do ballooning. We then flew via Istanbul to Anatalya on the Mediterranean coast where we were then met and driven to Kas to meet with 2 friends for our tour of the Ancient cities, Heiropolis, Pertgamon, Troy and Ephesus. We also took in Panakkule, the travestine pools. Turkey is a most fascinating country to visit, such history, one of the best Greco-Roman cities, Ephesus. Our transfers were always efficient. Drivers were helpful, and the guides were all young well educated and informative. All in all we couldn't fault the organisation of this company. We finished our road tour at Gallipoli which was most interesting before returning to Istanbul for our flight home to Melbourne Australia. Thankyou TTC for providing a most successful and exciting holiday.

Istanbul. What a city. But to see the sights, color, history, culture and people with the expertise of a great guide from Turkey Travel made the experience so much more memorable. Without his knowledge and assistance, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn so much about this fascinating and historical city. Thanks to Turkey Travel for their professionalism.

We designed a very specific tour to address the particular !st century Christian interests of our group (34 Aussies) and I can only give positive feedback for the cooperation, response and flexibility that TTC gave us. As tour planner I was absolutely impresses with his quick, efficient and succinct responses to all my emails. The guide (Memhent) was ideally suited to our group and was willing for us to make our input when we needed to. He was very easy to work with - especially when we made some changes along the way. The choice of accommodation and restaurants were perfect. It was fantastic having such a modern bus with WiFi on board - that allowed us to keep our blog up to date daily. TTC is a very professional company and I recommend them to anyone wanting to take a trip to beautiful Turkey. Thank you TTC - the tour exceeded our expectations.
