What Our Guests Say About Turkey
The touring program of Turkey by Land and Sea was excellent. The small group size, hot air balloon ride, swimming in the Mediterranean, Ephesus, learning about the history and culture of Turkey and seeing the changing landscape and the ancient ruins.
Chris Moore
Hot-air ballooning over Cappadocia, The Blue Mosque, swimming in the Mediterranean, the delicious fresh food – the tomatoes were to die for – the friendliness of the turkish people, our fabulous guide and bus driver, Ephesus and Gallipoli and the neolithic dig. Loved it.
