Travel Talk Tours

We did the 11 Day Anzac Tour of Turkey. It. Was. Phenomenal. My husband and I absolutely love Turkey and were excited to explore the country. Highlights were definitely the Hot Air Balloons in Cappadocia and the privilege of attending the Dawn Service at Anzac Cove. A bucket list item ticked off. This was my second Travel Talk in 2024 and I would absolutely do another one in the future. The tour was organised and our guide, Mustafa, was fantastic.

I would 100% recommend the ANZAC Travel Talks tour, just finishing the 11 day tour here in Istanbul with our guide Mustafa.

I travel alone and have done multiple tours with other well known and popular travel companies and this has hands down been the best!!!

INFORMATION! Haha So much engaging history and knowledge from our guide, I found the tours of the palace and ruins with Mustafa very enjoyable.

The freedom to skip a museum or tour to explore the city was encouraged. Meet back points and day plans were clearly communicated making it easy to have autonomy in a group setting. I felt like I was in charge of my own holiday and tour experience, which as a solo traveller who loves to do her own thing was perfect!

We visited such amazing places on this tour that were bucket list items and once in a life time experiences! A hot air balloon ride over Cappadocia, walking the ruins in Ephesus & Troy. The dawn service at ANZAC Cove and Lone Pine Gallipoli. I am still in awe of the amazing things we have done and seen in these last 11days!

The country of Turkey itself is absolutely beautiful and the people here even more so. Very generous and kind, I always felt safe as a female travelling alone.

The food AMAZING! Baklava, doner kababs, rice stuffed muscles and Turkish delights to name a few, will make you fall in love!

Accommodation was big beautiful mostly 4-5 star hotels in great locations on the beach, in the city! Comfortable beds, ample space and an abundance of food! Most of our accomodation provided buffet breakfast and dinner. Not having to worry about where to eat at the end of a long day or before an early start was very convenient.

The work placed into the ANZAC service, security and protection was hands down phenomenal. Multiple check points for security, Turkish workers handing out water, offering first aid, and clearly communicating and directing crowds for the services. All my anxieties for the day were put at ease seeing the work and dedication put in by the Turkish people and government.

I honestly cannot fault this tour and want everyone to experience Turkey the way I have gotten to experience this beautiful country.

This ANZAC tour will forever be in my memories and my heart as one of the best trips I have ever done! Truely, thank you, teşekkür ederim,
Travel Talks Tours.

Unforgettable Turkey Essentials: A Journey with Travel Talk

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on the Turkey Essentials tour with Travel Talk, and let me tell you, it was an adventure like no other! From the bustling streets of Istanbul to the ancient wonders of Ephesus, this tour was a perfect blend of culture, history, and pure fun.

Travel Talk ensured that every aspect of our trip was well-planned. The accommodations were comfortable, the transportation was smooth, and the itinerary was perfectly curated to showcase the best of Turkey's rich history and vibrant culture.

If you're looking for an incredible adventure in Turkey, I wholeheartedly recommend Travel Talk. Their attention to detail, knowledgeable guides (Mustafa), ensure a seamless and unforgettable journey. Whether you're a history buff, a culture enthusiast, or simply seeking a thrilling travel experience, Travel Talk has got you covered.

Thank you, Travel Talk for an extraordinary tour that surpassed all expectations. I'll cherish the memories and stories from this adventure for a lifetime.

Definitely recommend Travel Talk Tour! My 1st
time with Travel Talk on a 9-days Balkans tour. It's a well-planned and clearly communicated schedule with Vojin as our guide. He's very considerate and well-versed with historical information about the Balkans and always helpful. Slavcè, our coach chauffeur, was a very safe and responsible driver. Well done 👏

The 9 day Balkan tour was amazing. The itinerary was well thought, selection of hotel was great. Our tour guide Dusan was really great guy.

The 9-day Turkey Essentials tour with Travel Talk Tours exceeded our expectations! The well-crafted itinerary showcased Turkey's best, complemented by excellent hotel choices. Mustafa, our guide, added depth with his rich knowledge, engaging storytelling and brilliant sense of humour. The seamless experience, from transportation, meals, accommodations, sightseeing and optional activities made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommended for those seeking a perfect blend of culture and comfort in Turkey.

Just finished the 10 day ANZAC tour in Türkiye. Wow what an experience! The tour although busy was jam packed with amazing experiences made all the more richer by our highly knowledgable and very funny guide Aykut. The bus was full of 44 Aussies and Kiwis which would've been no easy feat to control. Aykut and our drivers Naci and Sevki were kind and patient making our long drives enjoyable.

Gallipoli was a bucket list of mine, and what a beautiful humbling experience it was, especially the following day tour of the cemeteries. Other than that highlight, the early morning hot air balloon and all the other sites the Kapadokya offers was pretty special too.

I will be using Travel Talk again. 5 stars!

Turkey 9 Day Essential Tour with Mustafa as our guide was amazing! Turkey offered a bit of everything for everyone - from the modern city, to ancient ruins and of course for the Aussies and Kiwis we experienced Gallipoli. This was my third Travel Talk Tour and Mustafa was by far the best guide I’ve had! Thank you 🤩🙌

First time on a guided tour for me. My Mom and I did the 9-day Essential Turkey tour with Guide Mustafa from 11-19 Nov. My original fears of travelling with a group of strangers on an organised tour are all forgotten! It was great and I'll do it again any day. I'm hoping to visit Egypt next year and I'll book a tour with Travel Talk Tours again. I was worried that my Mom, who isn't very mobile and walks very slowly, would be left behind and miss out on many things, but Mustafa was patient and tried to make it possible for her to do and see as much as she wanted. She loved the tour! Mustafa is a great guide, cool, calm, helpful and organised. The bus and drivers were top notch. Hotels were all lovely and the lunch stops while travelling were all carefully selected by Mustafa for quality and affordability. We didn't feel like we were taken to tourist traps and pressured to buy stuff. Infact, Mustafa warned us along the way where to avoid being ripped off and where good places are for shopping. The sites and towns were amazing - better than expected. We were lucky with the weather. Only the last few days were rainy, overcast and cold. Possibly consider doing the tour in reverse from Istanbul to Pamukkale and then Cappadocia - you'll end with the best and on a high.

A few recommendations on this trip:
In Istanbul, avoid being conned at the Sultan Sofrasi restaurant. It's on the way from the hotel to Hagia Sophia along the tramline. Scammers! Stick to your guide's recommendations for meals.
The spa at Pamukkale does not have the best massages or Turkish bath experience, so don't set your expectations too high. It's not the worst, rather nice but I've had much better in Alanya, Turkey.
All museum entrance fees and excursions must be paid in cash. Make sure you have enough. I thought I'd pay some with my credit card, but it had to be cash.

Overall, a well organised very enjoyable tour that we can highly recommend. 😀 Oh, and Cappadocian red wine is fabulous!!!

Wow. 9 Day Essential Turkey Tour with Mustafa from Travel Talk Tours. Absolutely exceeded all expectations. I am in love with Turkey! The sights, the places, the hotels, the food, the bus and the antics of our amazing guide was seriously fantastic. This was an unforgettable experience and I am so glad I stumbled across Travel Talk and chose them. Mustafa you made me laugh and made us all feel so safe and welcome.. best guide I've ever had. ❤

We did the 12 day Turkey tour with the Gullet option, and loved it! The price was super reasonable, Travel Talk was always extremely responsive whenever I reached out. Most importantly, we visited an amazing array of impressive historical sites, saw the profound and varied natural beauty of Turkey and enjoyed incredible experiences like hot air ballooning and paragliding. Mustafa was the best tour guide we have ever had. His knowledge and organizational skills were top notch, he helped with everything (even with arranging laundry services) and was hilarious as well. The food was tasty, the hotels were good and the boat trip was fun and relaxing with beautiful scenery and a lot of swimming. The cabins on the boat weren’t air conditioned and were pretty hot at night, so some people slept on deck where there were plenty of places with cushions where you could stretch out and get a good nights rest. I highly recommend this tour!!

Travel Talk's 9-day trip all over Turkey has exceeded all of my expectations. The itinerary was well-crafted, seamlessly blending historical marvels like Istanbul and Ephesus with breathtaking landscapes in Cappadocia. Mustafa was very knowledgeable and have a good sense of humour which made the trip even more fun. The accommodations made our stay very comfortable. Each day was a new adventure, making it a truly unforgettable experience. Will definitely go with travel talk again for future tour guide trips!

I completed and 9 day essential Turkey tour - it was great!! Mustafa was an amazing tour guide with so much knowledge on all of the history and site seeing spots. He kept the tours lively and interesting and everything - everyday - was so well organised. Accom was all 4/5 star. A lot of time spent in the bus but this is needed to see the sites. Overall loved seeing so much of Turkey and would recommend! Thank you to Mustafa and our bus drivers!

I have done two seperate tours with travel talk over the years! The first tour was 15 Egypt and Jordan, it was honestly the most incredible experience! I couldn’t imagine travelling these countries with a better guide and tour group. The second tour I completed was 6 days fantastic Turkey! My guide, Mustafa, was hilarious! Such a kind and compassionate man, who still writes in our group chat to check in every now and then. Both tours offered me an amazing experience, rich is culture and history. The hotels that you stay in are top quality, places I could never afford to stay at without the tour. I am a solo traveller and it’s always easy to make friends in these tours. Everything is done for you and you don’t have to think too much, which is nice. Some of the highlights of both tours include: sleeping two nights on Nile river, seeing the Pyramids, walking through the ancient streets of Petra, hot air ballooning in Cappadocia, paragliding over Pumukale!!! I would never book a tour through any other company.

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on the Turkey tour with Travel Talk, and it exceeded my expectations in many ways. Our tour guide Mustafa was not only knowledgeable but also added a delightful touch of humour to the journey, making it both informative and entertaining.

The flexibility provided with free time allowed us to explore at our own pace, and the accommodating nature of the guide made the experience even more enjoyable. What truly captivated me was the diverse and stunning landscapes across different regions, showcasing Turkey’s rich versatility.

Overall, it was a fantastic adventure, and I highly recommend Travel Talk for an immersive and well-balanced travel experience.

Have just finished the 10 day ANZAC Day tour through Türkiye, with our amazing guide Aykut. Locations were amazing, fantastic group of people, and the knowledge from Aykut was invaluable. Highly recommend.

Just finished the 10 Day Anzac Day Tour of Turkey with Aykut. Had an absolutely incredible time. Perfect length, amazing places and people, and the best guide I have ever had. It was a busy couple of days getting everything in, but loved all of it. Would be very glad to do it all again and would also definitely recommend this tour to others, especially Aussies and Kiwis keen to do Anzac Day at Gallipoli who also want to see the rest of Turkey.

Thanks Aykut & my travel talk buddies 😊 hopefully cross paths again soon.

This is the second time that I’ve been in a tour with Travel Talk and it has always been an amazing experience. The tour guide, Vojin, is just the best! He is very knowledgeable, thoughtful about each one of his guests’ needs, always provides recommendations for food and drinks and places to visit, and goes over and beyond to make sure everyone has a pleasant and memorable experience. The tour is well organised and provided a great overview of the Balkans regions. It gave me a different perspective about this part of Europe.

The “Essential Turkey” tour was exceptionally run, thanks to our fantastic tour guide Mustafa (and his yellow teddy bear, Wilson). 🧸 Mustafa was very personable, flexible and accommodating to any specific requests - he wants everyone to make the most out of their Türkiye experience.

I spontaneously chose this tour and came with no expectations - Travel Talk has shown me the best of Türkiye in a condensed timeframe. Alongside the famous tourist sites, Travel Talk provided great opportunities to experience and support local businesses and restaurants including a visit to a Turkish Night show and handmade carpet shop!

Great tour, looking forward to jumping onto another one!

Great experience with Travel Talk. Went on the 9 days Essential Turkey Tour. Brilliant tour for exploring different parts of Turkey in a short amount of time + meeting new friends along the way. Felt very safe the whole time. Especially enjoyed Musafa’s tips and information and how there were 2 drivers for our coach! The bus trips were long but the destinations were great. Would recommend!
