Travel Talk Reviews

Just finished the 10 day ANZAC tour in Türkiye. Wow what an experience! The tour although busy was jam packed with amazing experiences made all the more richer by our highly knowledgable and very funny guide Aykut. The bus was full of 44 Aussies and Kiwis which would've been no easy feat to control. Aykut and our drivers Naci and Sevki were kind and patient making our long drives enjoyable. Gallipoli was a bucket list of mine, and what a beautiful humbling experience it was, especially the following day tour of the cemeteries. Other than that highlight, the early morning hot air balloon and all the other sites the Kapadokya offers was pretty special too. I will be using Travel Talk again. 5 stars!

The 10 day ANZAC Turkey Tour was incredible! Absolutely the best experience - made even better by our beautiful guide, Aykut! Couldn’t thank him enough, he went out of his way to ensure we were all happy, comfortable & having so much fun! His knowledge, passion & love for Türkiye was infectious & soon shared by us all. Highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Such an amazing, memorable and educational tour. Our guide Aykut’s knowledge about the history of Turkey and its sights is out of this world. By far the best guide I have ever had, period!! Could not recommend this tour enough. From our bus drivers to Aykut’s stories, to Anzac Day at Anzac Cove this tour was simply outstanding! Don’t miss it!!

Had an amazing experience with my 10 day travel talk tour through Türkiye for Anzac Day. Our guide Aykut went above and beyond and made the trip better than I ever could have imagined. Aykuts ability to educate us whilst always keeping it super fun and engaging was second to none. We had a few dramas with lost luggage and needing pharmacies, etc and Akyut was able to translate for us, tell us where was best and as a result save us lots of money along the way. His local knowledge of the country was incredible and meant we ate at local restaurants and had experiences out of the ordinary that surpassed all my expectations. Our drivers Naci and Sevki were excellent drivers, always kept us safe and the bus immaculately clean! Our group was mostly Aussies & Kiwis who were some of the most awesome people I’ve met! Only downside of the trip was that one or two of the hotels were disappointing in their quality. Overall would definitely recommend a travel talk tour especially if you get a guide like Aykut!

I just finished the 10 day Turkey ANZAC tour with the legend Aytuk guiding us through out this trip. The places you go to, things you see and do are all great, but Aytuk really took this trip to the next level. He accommodated everyone in our large group, his passion and insights taught us so much more about Turkish life and history whilst always keeping us laughing. As an Aussie it was very special to attend the ANZAC services, once in a life time bucket list experience. A few of the hotels didn’t quite live up to their star rating. Great group of people to share this experience with. Big thanks again to Aytuk and the drivers!!!!

Just finished the 10 Day Anzac Day Tour of Turkey with Aykut. Had an absolutely incredible time. Perfect length, amazing places and people, and the best guide I have ever had. It was a busy couple of days getting everything in, but loved all of it. Would be very glad to do it all again and would also definitely recommend this tour to others, especially Aussies and Kiwis keen to do Anzac Day at Gallipoli who also want to see the rest of Turkey. Thanks Aykut & my travel talk buddies 😊 hopefully cross paths again soon.

Did the Anzac memorial tour in Turkey with our fantastic guide Aykut, he went above and beyond, accomodating our plans on the day, to make it a memorable experience! Only word of warning is that some of the hotels definitely overstate their star rating and facilities, so manage expectations on that front. Would be something TT should look at auditing.

I recently joined Travel Talk's 10 day Anzac tour guided by Aykut. This tour far exceeded my expectations. Aykut is the most outstanding and entertaining guide. His passion for and knowledge of Turkey is extraordinary and I am truly grateful to have benefitted from his generosity and experience. I am already looking at another Travel Talk tour.

Friends and I have just finished the 10 day ANZAC tour of Turkey. Our guide Aykut was amazing, sharing so much knowledge and insight with us. We got to see so many highlights of Turkey in a short time, this has been a trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you end up on Aykut’s tour - he’s the best guide you’ll ever get!

Fantastic 10 day tour of Turkey guided and driven by Akyut, Sevki and Naji. I leave Turkey better understanding the country's history, having visited some of the geological gems and eaten a varied local cuisine, of course seen also visited historic museums. Felt always safe and given good advice by our guide.

Had an incredible time on our 10 day ANZAC tour with guide Aykut. We saw plenty of the country, Aykut provided the best experience with great knowledge and stories to keep us entertained on the long bus journeys. Would absolutely recommend!

Have just finished the 10 day ANZAC Day tour through Türkiye, with our amazing guide Aykut. Locations were amazing, fantastic group of people, and the knowledge from Aykut was invaluable. Highly recommend.

Amazing 10 day ANZAC Tour through Turkey with incredible guide Aykut. Can not fault the tour itinerary, our drivers or our guide. Highly recommend.

Just did the 10 day tour of Turkey including the ANZAC day dawn service. The tour was well organised and exceeded all my expectations. Our tour guide Aykut was the best guide I’ve ever had on this type of tour. He went above and beyond to make our experience incredible.

An unforgettable experience! Our tour guide (Aykut) not only led us through the mesmerizing sights of Türkiye but also enriched our journey with a wealth of knowledge and captivating stories about Turkish and Ottoman culture. His passion for the history and heritage of his country was evident in every detail shared, making the tour truly enlightening and immersive. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a deeper understanding and appreciation of ANZAC (from the Turkish perspective) and Türkiye's rich cultural tapestry. Kia maumahara tātou ki a rātou 💕 lest we forget xoxoxo

Just completed the 10 day Türkiye tour for ANZAC day. The tour exceeded my expectations - the tour was made better by our tour guide Aykut who was very knowledgeable, professional, informative and had the best sense of humour!

I would 100% recommend the ANZAC Travel Talks tour, just finishing the 11 day tour here in Istanbul with our guide Mustafa. I travel alone and have done multiple tours with other well known and popular travel companies and this has hands down been the best!!! INFORMATION! Haha So much engaging history and knowledge from our guide, I found the tours of the palace and ruins with Mustafa very enjoyable. The freedom to skip a museum or tour to explore the city was encouraged. Meet back points and day plans were clearly communicated making it easy to have autonomy in a group setting. I felt like I was in charge of my own holiday and tour experience, which as a solo traveller who loves to do her own thing was perfect! We visited such amazing places on this tour that were bucket list items and once in a life time experiences! A hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia, walking the ruins in Ephesus & Troy. The dawn service at ANZAC Cove and Lone Pine Gallipoli. I am still in awe of the amazing things we have done and seen in these last 11days! The country of Turkey itself is absolutely beautiful and the people here even more so. Very generous and kind, I always felt safe as a female travelling alone. The food AMAZING! Baklava, doner kababs, rice stuffed muscles and Turkish delights to name a few, will make you fall in love! Accommodation was big beautiful mostly 4-5 star hotels in great locations on the beach, in the city! Comfortable beds, ample space and an abundance of food! Most of our accomodation provided buffet breakfast and dinner. Not having to worry about where to eat at the end of a long day or before an early start was very convenient. The work placed into the ANZAC service, security and protection was hands down phenomenal. Multiple check points for security, Turkish workers handing out water, offering first aid, and clearly communicating and directing crowds for the services. All my anxieties for the day were put at ease seeing the work and dedication put in by the Turkish people and government. I honestly cannot fault this tour and want everyone to experience Turkey the way I have gotten to experience this beautiful country. This ANZAC tour will forever be in my memories and my heart as one of the best trips I have ever done! Truely, thank you, teşekkür ederim, Travel Talks Tours.

We did the 11 Day Anzac Tour of Turkey. It. Was. Phenomenal. My husband and I absolutely love Turkey and were excited to explore the country. Highlights were definitely the Hot Air Balloons in Cappadocia and the privilege of attending the Dawn Service at Anzac Cove. A bucket list item ticked off. This was my second Travel Talk in 2024 and I would absolutely do another one in the future. The tour was organised and our guide, Mustafa, was fantastic.

The 12 day ANZAC tour with Mustafa has been an unforgettable experience. This is a once in a lifetime trip, I highly recommend it.

Balkan Discovery 10 day tour April 2024. Great way to explore much of the Balkan area (our first time visiting). Dušan - our guide, 5 star!! Slavche - our driver, 5 star!! Some of the hotels we stayed in were in need of updates but they were all clean (USA rating 2-3 star).

Did 9 days tour of the Balkans with travel talk for the first time. This area is so beautiful and a learnt so much about the region. It's under rated Our guide Vojin is extremely detailed with his explanation and highly knowledgeable. He puts the safety of the tour group as his priority and walks behind all of us and constantly counting that all the tour group is accounted for. Our driver Slavče were highly skilled in driving around the mountains.Been with many tour groups in EU regions but this is one of the best tour guide and driver! Thank you for a wonderful experience! From Sabrina

This is the second time that I’ve been in a tour with Travel Talk and it has always been an amazing experience. The tour guide, Vojin, is just the best! He is very knowledgeable, thoughtful about each one of his guests’ needs, always provides recommendations for food and drinks and places to visit, and goes over and beyond to make sure everyone has a pleasant and memorable experience. The tour is well organised and provided a great overview of the Balkans regions. It gave me a different perspective about this part of Europe.

Definitely recommend Travel Talk Tour! My 1st time with Travel Talk on a 9-days Balkans tour. It's a well-planned and clearly communicated schedule with Vojin as our guide. He's very considerate and well-versed with historical information about the Balkans and always helpful. Slavcè, our coach chauffeur, was a very safe and responsible driver. Well done 👏

What a fabulous well planned and organised experience of Balkan countries. Many thanks to our AMAZING tour guide, Vojin for the stories, recommendations and well rounded overview of Balkan culture, history, politics and more importantly the food and alcohol 😋🤣 . Exceptionally fabulous!

I hadn't heard of Travel Talk Tours previously when looking for an Egypt tour. After recently coming back from Egypt/Jordan 2 week tour, I can honestly say this was the best holiday I've ever had. It was so well organised and planned. They couldn't have been more helpful with everything, starting with meeting us inside the airport to help with visa, luggage and directly to the bus. We had an absolutely amazing tour guide with Mo. So incredibly knowledgeable, and explained things in such an amazing way. It was also so interesting and such great history lessons. He was patent and kind and went above and beyond. Faisal in Jordan was another amazing tour guide. They really made the tour even more special. The whole holiday was an amazing experience. I highly recommend Travel Talk Tours.
