We booked our two week Turkey tour through MADE IN TURKEY TOURS. We knew nothing about Turkey, or where we wanted to go, other than Istanbul. We booked the whole thing on line. Ismail speaks perfect English, and gave us several options and talked (emailed) us through the options. We asked what we wanted to see, was extremely responsive, and organised everything. The only hitch in the whole two weeks was when I got ill (not food related) and I was hospitalised for four days. Ismail was fantastic. Apart from arranging a doctor for me, he changed our itinerary, arranged for road transport when I was unable to fly and refunded everything he could. What was not refundable was clearly itemised for our travel insurance. I cannot more highly recommend this company.

This tour was amazing. It was better than I expected, truly VIP all the way through, from the moment you arrive in the airport…the hotels were well picked and situated in the middle of everything. The itinerary was a blast, packed with activities but you also get free time at the end of the day for rest. To our driver and tour guide, Ufuk and Ersan, thank you so much for being the best in your industry, we felt safe and had tons of fun. The hot air balloon ride and paragliding were activities that cannot be missed. This tour was well balanced, a mixture of history, fun and sightseeing in the most comfortable way possible. ThIs tour basically covered activities by land, air and sea! Look no further, well worth the money. Thank you Charlie for the amazing itinerary, looking forward to traveling with your agency again. 5 stars!!!

Charlie’s tour was impeccably planned and comprehensive! He thinks about the details of saving time in airports, during transfers, and in the selection of local guides. He is also a master in how to achieve the best balance “ the sweet spot” between staying busy with adventure, learning about the history and culture with having some downtime to chill out and enjoy local beautiful spots such as the beach or mountains. Hands down, it’s the best trip I’ve ever taken with a company or group and not on my own. Charlie and his local guides provided exemplary customer service. It was clear they wanted our trip to be the best fit for us and our needs. Even during COVID, Charlie’s tour arranged the testing for our return which was helpful in saving time and logistical planning while on vacation. A heartfelt thank you to Charlie and his well trained local guides in Turkey! A beautiful and historical country that should be on everyone’s bucket list!
