Does not respond at all. We took Balkans tour with 4-star hotels. Hotels we stayed in, most of these were not even worthy of 2-stars. None of the hotels (except one) had room temperature control (open... See more

Cannot recommend this tour enough! You get to see a wonderful cross-section of Turkey and not feel too rushed. There is no obligation to see all of the planned sites and we were given options if there... See more

12 Day ANZAC Tour

Just completed the 12 day ANZAC tour, what an experience. I actually can’t put in to words how amazing our time was, so refreshing to travel with people from home. Our guide Mustafa is an asset to Travel Talk, made our experience easy, fun, and well tailored to our groups needs. Can’t wait for the next trip!

Unforgettable Anzac Day 12 Day Tour!

Have had such an amazing experience on the 12 day Anzac tour in Turkey! The whole country is stunningly beautiful and could not recommend this complete and comprehensive tour of Turkey any more! Our guide Mustafa has taken care of everything down to the last detail for us we have not had to worry about anything! Highly recommend this tour to any Aussie or Kiwi looking for a once in a lifetime experience or anyone else looking for an enlightening and touching cultural experience while making many friends along the way!

Turkey🇹🇷 11-day ANZAC Tour

I thoroughly enjoyed my 11-day ANZAC Tour in Turkey.

My tour highlights included exploring Istanbul's cultural melting pot, visiting the ancient city of Ephesus, hot air ballooning in Cappadocia and attending the poignant Dawn Service at ANZAC Cove.

This beautiful country exceeded my expectations with its amiable people and rich history. Our tour guide Mustafa was incredibly knowledgeable, and always organised, providing options and ensuring the group had the best possible experience.

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the best of Turkey and encounter an unforgettable experience at Gallipoli.

Highly recommend this ANZAC tour through Turkey!

I attended the ten day ANZAC tour in Turkey and had an amazing time. The tour was very well organised and covered many sights of Turkey, from bustling Istanbul, to the hot air balloon experience in Cappadocia and the moving experience of the ANZAC day services in Gallipoli. Our tour guide Mustafa was incredibly knowledgeable, organised and friendly and made the whole experience very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Turkey.

ANZAC 12 Day Tour 2023

ANZAC 12 Day Tour 2023. Amazing tour with a very profession but fun guide Mustafa. Explore bucket list sights such as Pamukkale, Cappadocia, Ephesus and attended the ANZAC service at Gallipoli. Couldn’t recommend more. Can’t wait to explore more of beautiful Türkiye. 🇹🇷

ANZAC 12 Day

The 12 day ANZAC tour was incredible, an absolute must for any Aussie or Kiwi! Turkiye has completely exceeded my expectations, with so much to see and do. Not to mention our amazing guide Mustafa who went out of his way to ensure we saw everything and had the best experience possible. I could not recommend this tour highly enough, and if in doubt suggest the 12day tour above the shorter options so as to not miss out!

Amazing ANZAC Tour

Absolutely amazing experience on the 11 Day ANZAC Tour in Turkey. So grateful to have been able to attend the the memorial services on the ground that our ancestors fought on. Turkey is a stunning country! Mustafa, our guide, was top tier. The best tour guide we have ever had on a tour (and we've done a few) ❤️

We did the 10 day ANZAC tour and it was absolutely brilliant. Breathtaking locations, the best guide we’ve ever had in Mustafa, and a powerful Gallipoli experience. The travel between destinations was comfortable, and the accommodation fit for purpose. This tour exceeded my expectations!

Best Tour company I’ve ever used! 10/10 recommend.

Coming to the end of the 11 Day Travel Talk Anzac special tour and this is hands down the best tour I’ve ever done. Our guide Mustafa has been an absolute gem and made everything such a breeze, an awesome person who is full of knowledge and very passionate about what he does. The tour itself has the best of Turkey included in it. Highlights were hot air ballooning in Cappadocia, Pamukkale and the Anzac service. 10/10 would highly recommend to anyone!

10 day ANZAC tour Turkey

Could not recommend this tour highly enough! Turkey is an incredibly beautiful country, and the itinerary was jam-packed with stunning sightseeing spots, fun activities and interesting and informative historical sites. Topped off of course by getting to experience the ANZAC commemorations at Gallipoli, as well as heading back to ANZAC Cove without the crowds the next day for a more thorough appreciation of the history of the site. Our guide Mustafa is the best in the business, and was beyond helpful and knowledgeable. He made the tour experience an easy and enjoyable one. Very happy with this travel talk tour!

12 day Anzac tour

Had a blast on the 12 day Anzac Day tour! So many wonderful experiences and memories made in amazing places with our super knowledgeable tour guide Mustafa and friendly drivers. Favourite experiences were the hot air balloon over Cappadocia at dawn, paragliding over the Pamukkale travertine terraces, exploring the ancient city of Ephesus and attending the Anzac dawn service at Gallipoli.
I highly recommend this tour and the full 12 days so you don't miss out on the stunning sights and opportunities Türkiye has to offer! The tour was affordable and the website was extremely easy to book through. This is my second tour with Travel Talk, now I need to decide where to go next...

Do not go with this company

Worst trip I’ve ever been. If you want to travel in Asia for 8-10 hours a day on a bus choose the Cambodian and Thailand trip! If you want to be mislead on venues take this trip. Yes the hotels were all really nice but when you arrive after 7pm most nights- nothing is open and you stay in places quite a distance from anywhere 7/11 stores are the chose of stops for many days! Just where you want to eat when travelling. My suggestion go with someone else. My rating would be zero except for the guides.

Great locations however trip could've been organised better

My partner and I have recently just completed the Egypt & Jordan tour and would like to share the following feedback. Overall, we had a great time but there's definitely some big improvements that Travel Talk can make that would make the trip a lot smoother. The itinerary posted on the website was not 100% accurate and should be updated. You may be lured by the low prices but there are a lot of optional activities (beware, you need to select and prepay these on the first day) which do add up quite quickly. The optional dinners during the trip (Nubian and Bedouin) felt very unauthentic and were overpriced.

In Egypt, the first tour guide we had (Mostafa) was an amazing guide and made us all fall in love with Egypt with all of its history. However, we found that there's a lack of communication between the the guides as during our trip, we had 4 different guides (for different areas of the trip).

On one of the days, there's a 2am start to do a 9+ hour drive from Cairo to Dahab but this was only communicated to us the night before (when Mostafa finished his portion of the trip and we had the welcome meeting with the next guide for Dahab). Although there's nothing we can do about it, it would've been nice to have a heads up especially given that there was an optional activity that finished at 10pm that night, but Travel Talk has a 24 hour cancellation policy where you will lose the money if you don't go (be careful of this rule as they will not refund you even if you become unwell and can't attend regardless of whether or not they are incurring additional costs by having one additional person as this happened to us).

During the crossing of Egypt to Jordan, our guide in Dahab did not tell us any information at all. He dropped us off at the ferry terminal with a 9am start and left us there. The journey ended up taking 12 hours. Reading the itinerary which states that there could be delays but with the delays, it still suggest that we would arrive in the afternoon and hence, we did not have any food with us and were starving until we arrived which was at 9pm (the Jordan guide mentioned that 9pm was an early arrival so the itinerary should be updated as we would've arrived in the dark even if everything went smoothly). It was advertised that we would have a traditional Jordanian dinner followed by music/ dancing. In reality, we arrived at 9pm, ate in a tent as the workers were desperately trying to get us out so they could close up. We wanted to sit by the campfire, but the campfire had already burnt out and no one was assisting us with it. It would have also been nice to know that the heating cuts out at the camp at 11pm. We did the camel ride the next morning which was nice but we only had 12 hours in Wadi Rum and it would've nice if we had more time.

Most of the accommodation was great apart from Cairo which was the main base. The hotel is very far away from the city and had no hot water, brown water from the tap and no wifi (not sure if it's just our room?). Reconsider having the buffet there as it is expensive and not very good.

We really enjoyed Petra but be warned, you are only there for 1 day so you don't need to buy the 2 day Explorer Jordan pass as suggested on the Travel Talk website. Our guide Faisal in Jordan was very funny and kept us entertained.

Overall, the trip was fun but we would reconsider booking with Travel Talk again in the future.
