Ozzy and his team run a great company. They are sharp, on-time and very efficient. We had a great time in Cappadocia, staying at a cave hotel and learning from the very knowledgeable tour guides about geography and history. We had the opportunity also to do a hot air balloon ride which was magnificent. Pamukkale was very interesting with its white landscaping due to its minerals, and the natural pools. Their walking tours of Istanbul are also very good.
If you want to experience the best Turkey has to offer, look no further and let Turkey tour do the work for you. Every time, I contacted Ozzy to see if they could add other things to our trip, him and his team delivered everything with no hesitation. They work behind the scenes, so you don’t have to, and can enjoy your vacation. All I can say is well done; great job, and thank you!!

There were some times when our guide got a bit cranky ie if someone was looking at a cat rather than at him. Sometimes we were way too rushed. One day on our way back to the bus after a flight, he literally ran, passed his bag to the driver and was first to get on the bus. So much for helping anyone else. Very anxious to give us shopping time at businesses giving him a percentage.

A friend and I took the 2-day tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia. We booked at the last minute and the tour operator’s agent Ozzy was very helpful and accommodating. The only disappointment we had was that the ride in the hot air balloon in Cappadocia was cancelled for safety reasons due to the wind being a bit too strong that morning. Otherwise, the food at lunch on both days was very good, the visits at the various sites were very interesting, and everything went smoothly.

I would like to appreciate and thank Ozzy for organising a wonderful trip. It was one of the best trips I ever had. Even though it was a solo trip I never felt alone or worried at any point, it was well organised and perfect on time. The food was good as well, got the opportunity to try different cuisines.
I was bit disappointed that I couldn’t get into hot air balloon and paragliding because of weather issues. But I will definitely visit again in the future for sure.
Thank you again

My husband and I did the Istanbul, Ephesus, Pamukkale, and Cappadocia tour in November. Ozzy was great to deal with - responsive to emails and texts, friendly, helpful and the tour was really well arranged. The tour guides were really knowledgeable and explained the history of the sites we were visiting. The days were long, but we could rest in the comfy Minibus’s or taxis. The lunchtime meals were generous-usually 3 courses and consisted of a choice of local dishes. There was plenty of time to explore sites away from the group (which was never larger than 13). There was a fair amount of walking, but it was not a problem for us. The hotels were all great - centrally positioned, often with beach views. We did the balloon ride, which was fantastic- although the embarkation was chaotic (partly due to the numbers of spectators). The highlight of our trip was Cappadocia. The trip was good value and we only had to pay the final payment just before we traveled (we paid online rather than paying cash). We would highly recommend Tours Turkey and Ozzy.

Professional service all the way. We are very glad we booked this excellent trip with Ozzy. The support before and during our trip was outstanding. We added on a Blue Cruise and we really enjoyed that too.

We just finished this tour and we highly recommend! Ozzy was our tour organizer and I wish he could plan all our travel (and we travel a lot!) Ozzy was very responsive and organized. The itinerary he sent was detailed and precise. All accommodations, transfers and tours (some private, some small group) were excellent. We stayed in Istanbul for a couple more days and Ozzy arranged hotel, transfers, and an additional tour to customize our trip. You should have no worries if Ozzy organized your trip!!
