The best of Turkey by Gulet was the first tour I have ever done & definitely did not disappoint! Our tour guide Mustafa was amazing with his knowledge and expertise of Turkey tours. I was hesitant about the bus journeys as I can never sleep but Mustafa made it easy with games and frequent stops. All the hotels were great & the included food was amazing too with a large variety of things to choose from! The 3 days on the boat was definitely my favourite as it was nice to chill & swim. The captain & his wife looked after us well & the home cooked dinners every night were so good! Overall I would definitely do another travel talk tour as it was well organised & fun!!

A great tour that ticks off all the must do’s in Turkey with a relaxing 3 day sail in the middle on an amazing gulet with a great crew. Hotels were nice and the guide was great – always went above and beyond to help anyone and make sure everyone got what they wanted from the tour. If it is Cappadocia you are interested in I would recommend bussing back to Istanbul so you have an extra morning to see the balloons. Would recommend this tour and will definitely be coming back to Turkey.

Yavuz was amazing! The best tour guide I’ve ever had on any tour. so attentive (he turns tv down & up on the bus for movies). It was the little things he did that made the difference. This was my first tour with Travel Talk & I was very impressed with everything. Cheers Kiv.

Sarah Aminzadeh
Yavuz is absolutely phenomenal. Very funny and extremely friendly, I felt very comfortable asking him questions. It was very obvious that he had been doing this for a long time. I appreciated his humour and insight on the culture of this country. If I ever do Travel Talk again, I will make sure it’s with Yavuz. Could not imagine a better tour guide!
