    Raza's 8 days trip to Turkey

    Fly Goldfinch made our 7 nights and 8 days in Turkey very enjoyable. They were always accessible to answer any questions I had, and they did it as quickly as they could. I was able to properly plan my trip thanks to all the information they gave me. I truly want to bring up Sakshi, Amir, and Pooja.
    Sakshi made easy work of organizing our vacation, Amir handled all of my ad hoc needs and support while we were in Turkey, and Pooja assisted us with obtaining our visas. The best thing about Fly Goldfinch is that all of their Turkish associates were excellent, they were all really timely and supportive. I would especially like to thank Mr. Mehmet and Mr. Ercan for going above and beyond to successfully deliver my engagement ring to Istanbul, which I had left behind in a hotel in Antalya. Many thanks to the fly gold finch team and everyone connected to them.

    Rajesh's 9 days trip to Turkey

    Amazing trip to Turkey - Istanbul, Cappadocia, Kusadasi and Pamukkale with Travel Lykke. Rahul helped me with the initial hotel and itinerary planning. The Support team consisting of both Turkish travel partners and coordinators from Lykke were connected throughout on WhatsApp. It was a pleasant exp
    erience interacting with the Support team handling unexpected situations like change of hotels at the last minute (for no fault of theirs), or managing to get a direct flight instead of a connecting flight (that saved us loads of time and energy). The flight and hotel transfers were impeccably managed. The tour guides were knowledgeable and shared lots of history and details about the tours. Overall, an unforgettable trip with incredible memories

    Ankur's 7 days trip to Turkey

    We have had a good experience with Travel Lyke (and corbeico travels team) in regards to our recent Turkey Trip. Although they cut corners at some places, overall it was satisfactory and professionally managed. While Capadoccia aight seeing was thorough, Istanbul sightseeing not enough. Important pl
    aces like Dolmabache palace and Basilica cistern was not included. Pamukkale-Hierapolis trip was memorable and despite our flight to Istanbul was delayed by 45 minutes, pick up was waiting for us.

    Abhishek's 11 days trip to Turkey

    I had a great trip to Turkey, a wonderful country, and very humble hosts. I visited Antalya, Cappadocia and Istanbul. Istanbul was average, just the nightlife is great. City and museum tours are very boring. Make sure to have more days in Cappadocia as the hot air balloons are frequently cancelle
    d due to bad weather.

    ere we stayed (in and around) so the hotel recommendations need to be better and around vegetarian restaurants Hot air balloon ride well conducted in goreme was our best memory

    Santanu's 7 days trip to Turkey

    Trip booking and negotiations on travel triangle was smooth and done swiftly. Price was decent and I liked the approach of travel agent, who unhesitatingly and tirelessly worked to fit the itinerary in our budget. However during trip faced multiple issues due to which I have given 4 stars. Firstly
    had to follow up multiple times to agent for travel, cab and tour vouchers during tour. Details should have been provided earlier but agent chose to provide them just 1 day prior. Thank god we had international roaming! Secondly, for Istanbul city tour agent arranged a tour entirely different from itinerary. Instead of city tour they gave us a cruise tour which didn't cover all the sightseeings. However after multiple follow ups and calls, they arranged for the tour which was promised. And lastly, inspite of our tickets being included in tour cost, they made us pay INR 4500 for Pamukkale sightseeing tickets. This was unwarranted and took us by surprise. Though they said they will refund the cost, they have not provided any solution as yet in last 7 days. Other than these hiccups I have good memories in the trip and booking on Cheap Travellers with agent Nishant Sinha. Best places are Istanbul and Kusadasi for lots of sightseeing and fun experiences. Cappadocia is dusty and nothing much except expensive hot air balloon. Pamukkale pools are much hyped, walking is difficult let alone swimming in them. I will suggest to stay in Istanbul atleast 3Nights, and rent a self drive car. Indian license is valid here. Stay away from grand bazaar, it's for Europeans not Indians! However shops outside grand bazaar are much better. City stays awake late, so get an Istanbul pass and hop around on trams and metros, avoiding cabs as much as possible
