Even the guides mr gokhan ( serves as guide in cappadocia) ms Fatima (Antalya), Mr Mert( Euphesus), Ms Dimple( Antalya)and mr Emir ( Istanbul) were too good in their job.Guides can make or break the tour.They made the tour a truly memorable one.

HtR - the best tour company ever!!!
So, to start with upon doing a cost comparison, HtR rated most competitive in the same hotels, venues and tours we wanted.
Then our tour organiser / agent - Dicle was so proactive, caring and prompt with all our requests and inquiries before and during our tour. From small things like ensuring we got vegan options at venues, to doing our online checking in domestic flights, and following up on tax return forms when we forgot. She also upgraded our rooms in Capaddocia and Kusadasi which was so kind.
She knew we really wanted to go to Konya and changed our itinerary with ease to include a private tour to Konya. She also presented us with the most thoughtful gift of 3 ceramic whirling dervishes which we will cherish forever.
All the vehicles and drivers that picked and dropped us to airports and venues were of the highest standard.
We cannot speak highly enough of Dicle and HtR tour for having such an amazing employee and service for us.
We will be recommending this company to all our family and friends in Australia.
Thank you so much Dicle for making our trip to your beautiful country such a memorable one.

Worth booking with HTR
The guides were friendly and professional, sharing lots of interesting insights about the places we visited. Overall, we had a fantastic experience, and I felt like we really got to see the best of Turkey. If you're thinking about traveling there, I’d definitely suggest going with Htr!
