Huzaif's 7 days trip to Turkey

Overall the trip was fantastic. The itinerary was planned good but the accommodations for first city (Antalya-turkey)was very very very pathetic rest where better….However, one area that would be improve is the clarity of additional cost for adventure sports….

Rituraj's 9 days trip to Turkey

I think last hotel could be better as that is the only one not suggested by me. It is a good hotel but the expectation setting from the pictures provided was different.

Sarhanya's 8 days trip to Turkey

Imagine taking a tour with a someone who figures out your preferences before you say anything, makes arrangements that are exactly to your taste, That’s what I got from my Fly High Global Turkey Organizer! I contacted FHG (in a blind internet search) with only a general statement of the amount of time I had available and the towns I was most interested in visiting. Mr. Kamil responded almost immediately, asking a few questions and making several good suggestions. A few days later I had a detailed itinerary and very reasonable quote. I was hesitated, at the initial as they dint have a website or Instagram page either much review about there agency but decided to proceed only coz that i had trust on the person KAMIL who planned my itinerary of my choice. I must say this is one of the best travel decisions I’ve ever made! I had an amazing week long tour for 9 days and covered cites Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Antalya. Pickups were on time, very nice Benz vans, small groups, tour guides who spoke English well and knew the history of the place, and overall, well organized. What’s most surprising is that despite being extraordinary, their prices are truly ordinary. Everything was very much reasonably priced with absolutely no hidden fees or charges. It is hard to believe, but they really do offer exceptional quality as well as pricing! No second thoughts needed! Just trust them! You will not regret!

Asmita's 9 days trip to Turkey

We booked our Turkey trip through Travel Triangle and through Travel Lykke. The trip went as planned. However, we felt that we could have been offered more than the standardized tour packages available in Turkey as we had taken a customized tour package. E.g. The Green Tour in Cappadocia covering entire day has hardly any sights, activities covered. The Selime Monastry is a regular cave like structure which is 1,5 hrs one way and totally not worth the time. Due to which we couldn't cover some of the nearest attractions like Uchisar Castle or activities like ATV ride which are way more engaging than the monastry. Even in Istanbul, the day tour covered only Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace and post lunch we were taken to Grand Bazaar where we were on our own. Galata Tower, Basillica Cistern like attractions were not included in the tour and had to be done on our own. The Antalya tour also had 5 hrs sitting in the bus out of 10 hrs of day travel and covered only the waterfalls and Mediterrnean sea boat ride. The old town was only a locality with no attractions worth the time. We wanted to cover paragliding in Fethiye, however, the transport offered by Travel agent was very expensive. We had to fund our own transfer and paragliding in Alanya instead of doing it in Fethiye.

Dhatri's 7 days trip to Turkey

Me and my husband with two others recently had the pleasure of booking a 10-day Turkey trip with Travel Triangle, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was organized seamlessly, and the team at Travel Triangle made sure our journey through Istanbul, Antalya, and Cappadocia was filled with memorable moments. Istanbul: Our trip began in the vibrant city of Istanbul, and everything was very well arranged. From exploring the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque to enjoying a boat ride to Princess Island, every detail was taken care of. The local guide provided insightful knowledge of the city’s history, and the accommodations were comfortable and centrally located, allowing us to explore on our own as well. Only in Princess Island, the guide could have been more helpful in explaining the island insights rather than just dropping us to the place and explore on our own. Antalya: In Antalya, Travel Triangle arranged an excellent blend of historical tours and leisure time on the beautiful beaches. The guided visit to the ancient city of Perge, Pammukale, Old town walk and a relaxing trek to 2 waterfalls were definite highlights. The choice of hotel with its sea view was perfect! Cappadocia: Cappadocia was the highlight of the trip! We approached Travel Triangle in the last minute to book Hot air balloon and they didn't disappoint us. They planned a magical experience with the hot air balloon ride, which was a dream come true. The fairy chimneys, underground cities and even ATV ride at sunset were fascinating. I’m grateful for the attention to detail, from the transport to the personalized local tours. Every activity was well-timed, allowing us to soak in the surreal landscapes. Overall: The only drawback was that we couldn't spend more time in each place as it was a group trip or we weren't allowed to alter . We were taken to multiple jewelry shop / workshop which personally felt was not required. We would have enjoyed more if they had taken us to lot more historical place. However, the tour was perfectly balanced between sightseeing, adventure, and relaxation. I highly recommend Travel Triangle for anyone looking to explore Turkey, as their services made this trip truly special.

Sushiman's 6 days trip to Turkey

Things were well arranged. Their team created a whatsapp group and we're constantly giving updates. Thanks for all the help, Ruksana, Karishma and team. Airport transfer, Green tour, Hot air balloon rides were great. The ATV ride was a bit risky though. We got bad helmets. No elbow/knee guards.
