Travel Talk Reviews

Bader and Abdul were excellent tour guides as we had two tours joined into one. Felt safe and the information was vast and interesting. Morroco was awesome.

Myself and husband have just returned from a TravelTalk tour of Egypt. I would 100% recommend it, the tour guide Mo was fantastic. Lovely group of fellow travellers.

Travelling through Türkiye with Travel Talk Tours, and especially Mustafa, has been a truly amazing experience. The tour was incredibly well organised and had a perfect balance of information, "together" time and free time. I have been grateful to see more of this beautiful country than I would've had I gone alone and have met some absolutely lovely people here. This tour has allowed me to experience a fraction of the heart of Türkiye and I truly treasure this, especially as a New Zealander with our connected history. I hope to be able to visit this lovely land again. Thank you very much to Mustafa for making this an all rounder very noice trip ♥️🤍

We were surprised when we met our tour guide Mustapha who informed that there were 4 tourists on our 10-day Essential Turkey tour. Great thanks to Traveltalk for not cancelling the trip. So far our holiday is well above our expectations. And would highly recommend Traveltalk Tours to anyone. Our many thanks to our marvellous guide Mustapha and the 2xmini bus drivers who took good care of us and made our tour truly enjoyable and memorable.

#Turkey#Mustafa. First time travelling with TravelTalk and everything is amazing. Traveled 3k km to experience the culture and history! Tour is well organized amd everything detailed in the site is 100% accurate. Must made sure we are comfortable and enjoyed the tour despite having a small group of 4. Truly grateful that didn't they didnt cancel our tour. 😊

Our recent journey through Türkiye with Travel Talk Tours was nothing short of extraordinary. This being our first escorted tour, we were unsure of what to expect, but from the very beginning, the experience far exceeded our expectations. Mustafa, our guide and host, was a gem and a great entertainer. His knowledge of Türkiye’s rich history, vibrant culture, and iconic sights was truly impressive. Beyond that, his charm and warmth made every moment of the tour feel personal and engaging. He went out of his way to accommodate the needs of every traveler, ensuring we all felt valued and cared for. I have a physical challenge, and Mustafa accommodated me very well. Mustafa’s attention to detail and passion for his homeland transformed each stop into a memorable experience. His good nature and honesty were quite evident. Special mention must also go to the two incredible drivers who safely navigated us through various destinations, even in challenging weather conditions. Their professionalism and dedication were commendable, allowing us to relax and enjoy the journey without worry. The seamless arrangements made by Travel Talk Tours were equally noteworthy. From the emails and text messages prior to our travel to Turkiye to the logistics and accommodations, everything was thoughtfully planned and executed, making the entire trip stress-free and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Travel Talk Tours to anyone considering an adventure through Türkiye. This company, coupled with the grace and expertise of Mustafa and his team, created an unforgettable experience. We can not wait to explore more with them in the future!

Our journey through Essential Türkiye with Travel Talk Tours was nothing short of a dream come to life! As first-timers on an escorted tour, we were brimming with excitement, and this experience surpassed every expectation. Mustafa, our guide, was the heart and soul of this adventure. His infectious enthusiasm and profound knowledge of Türkiye’s history and culture brought each location to life. His storytelling was captivating—every ancient ruin, bustling bazaar, and breathtaking vista seemed to echo with the tales he shared. Beyond being an incredible guide, Mustafa’s genuine kindness and care for each traveler made us feel like honored guests in his homeland. And what a team he had! The drivers were absolute heroes, navigating us safely and smoothly through all terrains and weather. Their skill and professionalism were matched only by their warm smiles, which reassured us at every turn. Travel Talk Tours orchestrated this journey to perfection. From comfortable accommodations to well-planned itineraries, everything was seamless. Each moment was infused with wonder, joy, and a sense of discovery. If you’ve ever dreamed of exploring Türkiye, this is the way to do it. Mustafa, his incredible team, and Travel Talk Tours don’t just take you on a trip—they give you an adventure of a lifetime. I can’t stop raving about it and will recommend this experience to anyone and everyone. Türkiye is magical, and Travel Talk Tours is the key to unlocking its treasures!

Just a few more days left before finishing the Essential Turkey tour. As someone who has been working in the travel industry for over 25 years, I highly recommend Travel Talk as a tour operator. The tour is well organized, and they think of all the details to make your journey as pleasant and smooth as possible. The hotels, restaurants, and tours were great, the drivers were (2) extremely professional and polite, the van was always clean, and I felt safe the whole time. Mustafa (our tour guide) is very knowledgeable, attentive, and caring. We didn't have to stay in line for the activities as the company provides a pass for it (wich you can pay the guide later) . The balloon company was carefully picked, based on safety and equipment, and you could tell the difference when you experienced it. When you have a group of people from different countries with different cultures, it can be hard to please everyone, but I was very happy with all the choices made, and it felt like traveling with old friends. Here are some highlights of this amazing experience.

We did the 14-day Ultimate Morocco in November 2024 and had a fantastic time. Our guide for the first week, Noureddine, gave us good foundational knowledge of Morocco and its history to better appreciate the sights and scenes we were seeing. Everything went smoothly and pleasantly. We just sat back and enjoyed the landscape and experience the sights and sounds with Noureddine's insightful knowledge of the local history and culture. My wife especially appreciated his photography skill too!

Incredible time in Türkiye with Mustafa guiding us through Istanbul, Cappadocia, Konya, Pamukkale, Ephesus, Troy, Gallipoli...! The tour is spaced out in a very relaxed manner, with many stops and time to appreciate local Turkish craftsmanship throughout. Mustafa is very knowledgeable and teaches history and language as you go. Highly recommend.

The All about Balkans tour was fantastic , we traveled through cities, countryside, and coastal areas and learned about the history, culture, and people from many locations. Our tour leader Simon was exceptional in his personal and professional knowledge about the areas we visited. I definitely recommend this itinerary. Our driver Berhan was skillful and got us everywhere safely, especially on the winding roads and in bad weather conditions. I am looking forward to another Travel Talk tour.

I'm just wrapping up the 10 day Turkey tour and I'm SO GLAD I booked it! I considered flying in between cities and trying to do it on my own but honestly I think I would have spent more with taking taxis everywhere and wouldn't have gotten any of the information or tips along the way. Pros: Our guide, Mustafa, was so knowledgeable with every site we visited, and we got to visit a LOT of sites. When everyone on the tour ended up bringing too much luggage to safely fit it all in a van, Travel Talk immediately found us a large bus and alternative driver (who was trained for the biggest buses) in extremely short notice. Booking was easy, finding my transfer driver was simple, and the whole tour was great. There were some really long travel days, but we had plenty of planned breaks, and we took additional stops if anyone ever needed one. Everything was the perfect balance of professional but relaxed. Cons: I don't have any cons about the company itself, anything that wasn't what I had in mind would have happened no matter how I traveled Turkey, and the list is pretty short: it was colder than expected (so if you're going in November, just bring some layers), the Wi-Fi was spotty in a lot of the hotels (I think that's just how it is across the country), and there wasn't a lot of free time in each city (but we did have at least a couple of hours in most places, and hello we were trying to see an entire country in 10 days, it would have been impossible to have more free time without adding more nights to the trip). Overall, I highly recommend the Turkey tours with Travel Talk. 10/10 experience.

I and my wife are on the last day of our tour of Turkey with Travel Talk Tours and Mustafa the tour guide. What a trip. Beautiful scenery and memories. It's been a long long time since I had a group tour like this so a bit wary at first, but soon adapted to the pace and feel at ease. Lots of rests and toilet breaks on bus rides so no worries. Our tour group includes people of all ages from the 70s, to 60s, 50s and 20s I believe. Strangers soon become friends, sharing stories and laughing at dinners. Considering the reasonable price that we paid, the included hotels and meals are very good. Thanks guys and thanks Mustafa for the details at each place that we visited, I'm sure many other people have and will enjoy the tour as much as we do.

Review of the 10-Day Essential Turkey Tour I recently completed the 10-day Essential Turkey Tour and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Here’s why I highly recommend this tour: 1. Safety and organisation 2. Knowledgeable Tour Guide Mustafa 3. Comfortable Transportation 4. Highlights of the Tour The itinerary was well-balanced, covering iconic landmarks such as Cappadocia, Pamukkale, and the Blue Mosque. Each location was given ample time for exploration, and there was a great mix of guided tours and free time.

I just had my 10-day tour from Turkeye, and it was just an amazing experience and breathtaking places to see like Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Konya, Troy, Galepagos and more. Our group is fantastic , everybody is friendly and down to earth that makes it so enjoyable for the traveling. My sisters and I met on this tour. Our tour guide Mustafa was good and approachable, he helpful and is ia team player and an asset to your compan.Although we encountered some rain we still enjo the tour .

Currently in the last days of the balkan tour. So far I really enjoyed the tour. It has quite a fast pace of sightseeing different locations, but there were enough free time to discover the cities and local guides that gave nice background information. Lots of thanks to the tour guide (Dusan) and also the bus driver (Kris) that made the trip a lovely experience. Also what I really liked was the group size.

Balkans.. Hidden jewel of Europe..with an overabundance of Natural Beauty lakes , bays , ports mountains, valleys..Historical Fortresses, Meusems, clock towers, buildings and a melting pot of Islam, Roman and Outerdox Christanity and Judaism living in peaceful coexistence. A beautiful blend of culture with lovely food and extremely friendly people. Great tour by travel talk worth every minute.

Travel talk .Thanks for the lovely well organized tour of the Balkans with our great guide Bojon. A great place with natural beauty , 5000 year old history with beautiful monuments , great food, friendly people and a potpourri of various religions coexisting together. Will remember this trip all my life

A fantastic tour of Turkey until I got food poisoning and three days to recuperate. Our tour guide, Mustafa K., made the group comfortable. A new experience of my lifetime and had a birthday with a lighter as my candle. Very creative indeed.

We have now seen a large part of Turkey. Worth every penny and would do it again. Thank you to Mustafa, our gracious tour host. He was awesome!

I just got back from an epic 8 day Travel Talk Tour around Turkey, and wow, what a ride! We hit up Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Konya, and Izmir—talk about a bucket list bonanza. The museums were so engaging, I felt like a history buff by day and adventurer by night. And the optional activities? Total showstoppers! The Hot Air Balloon Ride in Cappadocia was a next-level sunrise experience, the Boat Ride in Istanbul was a vibe with unbeatable views, and the Turkish Dance Night? Let’s just say, my dance moves need work, but it was a blast. Big shoutout to our guide, Mustafa, who was basically a walking encyclopedia with a sense of humor. He made sure we soaked up every bit of Turkey's magic. If you’re even thinking about going to Turkey, stop thinking and just do it. This tour was the perfect mix of culture, adventure, and fun, just look at my last video, it explains it all!!!!

Throughly recommend Travel Talk Tours, great value, accomodation was excellent & itinerary perfect .

My 10 day Travel Talk Tours to Turkiye exceeded all expectations! Our guide, Mustafa, was outstanding—knowledgeable and full of energy. From the vibrant streets of Istanbul to the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia, each stop was a highlight. The itinerary balanced historical sites with local experiences. It was a fantastic way to immerse ourselves in the culture. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting an unforgettable journey through Turkey!

My daughter and I just completed a fabulous 10 day Essential Turkey tour. Cappadoccia has been on my bucket list for a long time and the Balloon ride did not disappoint! Our guide, Mustafa provided informative and interesting material. His historic knowledge is second to none. I would highly recommend this tour. Many new friends have been made!

Fabulous immersion in modern day and historic Turkiye especially for first time travellers and if you are insecure about making your way independently around the country. Great for solo female travellers. Our guide, Mustafa, was knowledgeable and well organised and there was a good balance between relaxation and sightseeing activities.
