Travel Talk Reviews

The best trip ever !!!

Amazing 9 day tour in Turkey! We weren't very lucky with the weather, but our tour guide was flexible enough with the plans for us to enjoy it as much as possible. Comfortable bus. Nice hotels.

Just finished the 'Charming Thailand' tour with Travel Talk Tours. No reviews for this specific tour prior to booking so had a little nervousness prior to the start. However, to Travel Talks credit the tour was absolutely superb - the promised accomodation was excellent for the most part and the excursions were interesting and very well organised. The projected budget for visiting the temples/Grand Palace etc were spot on and Andy the tour guide was genuinely amazing. I often write reviews of my experiences on google but Andy was without question, one of the most genuine, patient and kind guides I've ever had!! Shout out to the driver and his son who also accompanied us on our 8 day tour - both of them absolute machines!! I'm UK based and expected the group to follow the same pattern but instead it was a multicultural group. With UK, American, Spanish and Canadian participants of all ages/genders plus some single travellers. This melting pot proved to be an incredible experience, offering me the chance to make (hopefully) lifelong friends - I'm looking at you Mary-Lou and Gray!! So as a first time customer of Travel Talk, I'd rate them 5/5 - the pre and post booking customer service (prior to leaving the UK) was awesome and the trip over delivered on its execution and quality!! Great stuff - Travel talk are highly recommended 👍

The 9-day Turkey Essentials tour with Travel Talk Tours exceeded our expectations! The well-crafted itinerary showcased Turkey's best, complemented by excellent hotel choices. Mustafa, our guide, added depth with his rich knowledge, engaging storytelling and brilliant sense of humour. The seamless experience, from transportation, meals, accommodations, sightseeing and optional activities made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommended for those seeking a perfect blend of culture and comfort in Turkey.

Took the Turkey tour in November. The weather was a real mix this time of year. Mustafa was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. I had more for a more packed schedule, but I still really enjoyed the trip and it was a great value for money. The hotel food is just okay, but the optional activities are great add ons.

Have had the best time on the 9 day Essential Turkey tour. The tour has provided a great mix of fun, food, history, nature and culture. Our guide Mustafa has been amazing - organised, patient, and humorous. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get their first taste of Turkey.

Fantastic company that have been flexible, accommodating and very supportive. I highly recommend using them. Not only are they affordable but they also have a great team ready to look after you! We are looking forward to our trip to Peru 🇵🇪

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on the Turkey tour with Travel Talk, and it exceeded my expectations in many ways. Our tour guide Mustafa was not only knowledgeable but also added a delightful touch of humour to the journey, making it both informative and entertaining. The flexibility provided with free time allowed us to explore at our own pace, and the accommodating nature of the guide made the experience even more enjoyable. What truly captivated me was the diverse and stunning landscapes across different regions, showcasing Turkey’s rich versatility. Overall, it was a fantastic adventure, and I highly recommend Travel Talk for an immersive and well-balanced travel experience.

The “Essential Turkey” tour was exceptionally run, thanks to our fantastic tour guide Mustafa (and his yellow teddy bear, Wilson). Mustafa was very personable, flexible and accommodating to any specific requests - he wants everyone to make the most out of their Türkiye experience. I spontaneously chose this tour and came with no expectations - Travel Talk has shown me the best of Türkiye in a condensed timeframe. Alongside the famous tourist sites, Travel Talk provided great opportunities to experience and support local businesses and restaurants including a visit to a Turkish Night show and handmade carpet shop! Great tour, looking forward to jumping onto another one!

I have always dreamed of going to Türkiye since I learned about Islamic architecture. However, coming here through a tour, I really didn’t know what to expect but wow! I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I know a lot of “younger” generations like myself would most likely opt out of tours but having Mustafa as a guide has really made me want to do more of these. He gives information with just the right amount and makes it engaging through his witty jokes. He is also very flexible and lets you explore within the area if you want to opt out of activities. I definitely want to try out other Travel Talk tours after this!

Travel Talk's 9-day trip all over Turkey has exceeded all of my expectations. The itinerary was well-crafted, seamlessly blending historical marvels like Istanbul and Ephesus with breathtaking landscapes in Cappadocia. Mustafa was very knowledgeable and have a good sense of humour which made the trip even more fun. The accommodations made our stay very comfortable. Each day was a new adventure, making it a truly unforgettable experience. Will definitely go with travel talk again for future tour guide trips!

Essential Turkey tour was fantastic! Our guide Mustafa was fantastic, so knowledgeable and knew exactly what information and tips would be helpful for us. We saw so many sights in a short period of time but it never felt rushed, always had enough time to enjoy the experiences! Would definitely recommend!

Amazing tour! I have never done anything like this before and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Our host Mustafa was knowledgeable, funny and very accomodating to some of the other guests on our tour who had special requests! Would 100% recommend and will try another tour that Travel Talk offer.

Incredible trip around Egypt with the fantastic and helpful guide named Safi. Couldn’t recommend the Egypt trip enough as a safe and educational way to explore Egypt & to meet fellow travellers!

Just completed the exotic Morocco tour with our excellent guide Abdul! He was one of the best tour guides I have met, he brought so much energy and knowledge on the tour and could not imagine doing the tour without him. The tour itself was so diverse, seeing so many different landscapes. It has been one of the best trips I have done. Would highly recommend!

We had an incredible experience on the Essentials Egypt Tour! We were a little hesitant to book because we had never taken a group tour before and hadn't heard of Travel Talk, but we are so glad we took the chance. Travel Talk provides an excellent service. We received support in selecting the right tour, assistance with airport transfers, and throughout the holiday, they handled the logistics, removing any stress and allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. The tour is packed with exciting activities and takes you across Egypt to visit all the iconic sites. The whole trip was quite surreal, with each day seeming to top the one before. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, engaging, and fun! Sam not only guided us through the historical sites but also showed us around his local area, offering a more authentic experience that we wouldn't have been able to access on our own. Sam truly brought the group together, creating a sense of family, which made our trip even more special. I highly recommend the Essential Egypt Tour with Travel Talk!

My partner and I have just returned from the 9 day Best of Balkans tour and we already have the holiday blues. Our tour guide, Simon, was phenomenal. He was passionate about all the countries we visited, very knowledgable and funny. He easily developed a good rapport with all the group and his relaxed approach made an intense trip (travelling-wise) feel easy-going. Unfortunately we missed our inbound flight to Sofia, but Simon made no issue of rearranging the transfer to the hotel which we were grateful of. The driver, Chris, was clearly experienced and made us feel welcome and safe. He navigated tricky roads and tight-squeezes with ease. The Balkans was a place I had little knowledge of but I have a new-found appreciation for the countries I visited, their history, the views and the people who live there thanks to Simon and Chris. Thank you. As a side note, we travelled as an LGBT couple and had no issues (with no open PDA). Travelling in a group helped anonymise this further when booking into hotels, so we felt very safe on this trip.

I went on this trip in mid October and surprisingly the weather was great enough for swimming. Simon was my guide with Chris as our bus driver. Simon was very informative and extremely nice throughout the whole trip. I really felt like I received a great introduction to the land and its people. Chris made sure we took comfort breaks every couple to few hours so that everyone had a chance to regroup. The first couple of days were short as it required some long hours of driving, but it was all worth it. Also, I had the pleasure of meeting wonderful travelers from university students to grandparents, though the group skewed to the former. Pay for all the extra excursions, especially the nature ones!

Best of the balkans tours.. Tour is actually pretty good.. Awesome... Truly enjoyable.. The only set back was.. Timing for some venues are simply not enough... Like I would prefer to spend more time in Kotor old town... And less in Tirana... But again it's my preference.. Different people different preferences. Overall tour is well planned. I have a very upbeat tour guide.. Truly entertaining and informative. BOYAN!!!! Well done.. Niko our driver is diligent! Together the combo were fantastic! Will recommend travel talk for sure. Even customer service when I booked was excellent! Fast to reply and always friendly..

I recently did the Essential Egypt tour. This tour was great and i couldn't recommend it enough, it was the best way to see Egypt. All travel and sightseeing is taken care of for you. Our guide, Sam, was amazing. He showed us local places, took us for meals, gave us loads of info on all the places we visited, and was a hero - helping recover a lost passport and helping group members get the lost luggage back from the Egypt airlines. Our trip was amazing overall, great value for money, and Sam made it memorable.

I completed and 9 day essential Turkey tour - it was great!! Mustafa was an amazing tour guide with so much knowledge on all of the history and site seeing spots. He kept the tours lively and interesting and everything - everyday - was so well organised. Accom was all 4/5 star. A lot of time spent in the bus but this is needed to see the sites. Overall loved seeing so much of Turkey and would recommend! Thank you to Mustafa and our bus drivers!

Wow. 9 Day Essential Turkey Tour with Mustafa from Travel Talk Tours. Absolutely exceeded all expectations. I am in love with Turkey! The sights, the places, the hotels, the food, the bus and the antics of our amazing guide was seriously fantastic. This was an unforgettable experience and I am so glad I stumbled across Travel Talk and chose them. Mustafa you made me laugh and made us all feel so safe and welcome.. best guide I've ever had. ❤️

We did the 9 days essential turkey 🇹🇷 tour had a amazing time. The hot air balloons was amazing experience we loved it the food here is good and cheap our tour guide mustafa was really amazing funny and full of good information about the places we went too. We will be recommending travel talk to our friends and family and we will use travel talk for some tours around different countries just hope all the tour guides are as good as mustafa.

Trip: We did the 9 day Essential Turkey tour. The tour was well organised, fun and informative. Can conclude that I'm coming out of this tour having learnt so much more about Turkey. Travel Talk: What differentiates this company from e.g. Contiki is that you get to travel with diverse range of people from different backgrounds and age. I found it fun conversating with younger and older people.

I have just finished the 9 day Essential Turkey tour guided by Mustafa and loved it. We have seen so much of the country in such a short amount of time. Mustafa was an excellent guide and kept all the history interesting and always went out of his way to make sure everyone is happy. Already looking at what travel talk tour to book next!
