Contratamos este tour a través de Falabella Argentina (sucursal Rosario). Al llegar al aeropuerto de Estambul nos avisan que el itinerario fue cambiado por lo que nuestro primer día en Estambul iba a ser un día libre. Nuestro contacto en Ada Vegas era Yamal, quien empezó siendo muy amable y terminó bastante descortés. ¿Qué es lo malo de ese cambio de itinerario? Pues bien, que dejan a los pasajeros solos en una ciudad extraña, con un idioma extraño y una cultura más extraña aún, sin ningún tipo de información respecto de cómo moverse en la ciudad y en un hotel al que NO LLEGA NINGÚN TRANSPORTE PÚBLICO (Hotel Wyndham Grand Istanbul Europe). Finalmente, y porque habíamos consultado información sobre el hotel en Trip Advisor, logramos saber que el hotel contaba con un servicio de shuttle al centro gratuito, servicio que ni el hotel ni la agencia anuncian (otra enorme falla). Conseguimos un lugar para ir al centro al día siguiente a la noche de nuestra llegada mas no para regresar. Tanto Yamal como el personal del hotel sugirieron que tomáramos taxis. Regresar fue un verdadero problema. Dado que era hora pico los taxis no paraban. Estuvimos un buen rato para conseguir uno y gracias a dos personas que se ofrecieron a ayudarnos en la calle ( hasta ellos mismos llamaron al hotel y desde el hotel le dijeron que no podían enviar un taxi a buscarnos). Para más datos, cuando nos reunimos con nuestro guía, recomendó NO TOMAR TAXIS EN LA CALLE PORQUE SUELEN ESTAFAR A LOS TURISTAS, situación que afortunadamente no nos sucedió pero que el propio guía de la agencia que abandona a sus pasajeros advierte. Por otro lado, a excepción del paseo en globo, no ofrecieron NINGUNA DE LAS EXCURSIONES OPCIONALES QUE ESTABAN PREVISTAS y nadie dio explicaciones sobre el tema. El día libre al final de tour pudimos disfrutarlo de otra manera porque ya teníamos una perspectiva de la ciudad, de qué se podía hacer y habíamos reservado con suficiente tiempo la shuttle para ir y volver del centro, situación mejor que el primer día, aunque a las 16 hs hay que estar en la parada y se termina el día de paseo. Falabella nos había dicho que Ada Vegas es un operador "excelente". Todavía nos preguntamos en qué consiste su "excelencia". Por lo demás, no hubo otros problemas con el tour. El guía, el resto de los hoteles, el transporte, las excursiones, las comidas estuvieron muy bien, pero nos parece que lo que te acabamos de mencionar es lo suficientemente grave para empañar un gran viaje.paolasY1572KZ

Tour y excursiones muy buenas con el mejor guía.. emrah. Bien informado, nos trasladó hacia la historia y la belleza de Turquía, sus costumbres comidas y danzas con paisajes inigualables...fueron días maravillosos. Solo encomendar WiFi en bus de viaje y la posibilidad de dejar equipaje guardado en éste, para no bajar y subir las maletas en cada estadía de 1 noche..eso fue Agotador.nicoledZ9917VN

We had an amazing Tour in Turkey! Absolutely fabulous experience despite COVID lockdown. From dealing with the office staff who were all very accommodating to our requests to the tour driver to our very patient and knowledgeable guide Ahmet. Everyone did their best to accommodate all the requests, the van was Mercedes comfy and the sights were well worth it. The tour is very reasonably price also I would suggest adding a beach day in Kusadasi in summer time or another day in Cappadocia. The trip was magical, food for the most part was awesome. presentations very interesting in the art shops. One thing I highly suggest is ask to stay in Goreme or Uchisar while in Cappadocia, Big Thanks to Ayse for being so good to organized our tour even before tour started and thanks to Ahmet the knowledge he shares is amazing. Would definitely tour with this company and tour guide again.margara1611

Turquia es un pais maravilloso y sorprendente. Conocimos los lugares mas importantes e iconicos: Estambul, Capadocia, Efeso y Pamukkale. nuestros guias muy cultos, simpaticos y hablan muy buen ingles. Hicimos todo el viaje por avion porque las distancias por tierra son muy largas y fue la mejor decision pues nos dio tiempo de conocer mucho. La organizacion fue muy buena, los hoteles, los recorridos, los guias. El vuelo en globo fue una experiencia inolvidable. Recomiendo esta agencia ampliamente. La pueden contactar por email. Contestan inmediatamente.EDUARDO2908

Todo el Tour fue maravilloso, desde el principio al fin. Hemos recorrido los lugares más emblemáticos de Estambul, Ankara, Capadocia, Éfeso, Troya y Pamukkale. En todo momento contamos con la asistencia de nuestro guía en español, Alí, quién siempre estuvo dispuesto a solucionarnos cualquier inquietud o cualquier necesidad que tuviésemos durante la travesía. Pudimos conocer los detalles de todos los sitios históricos que visitamos y también fue excelente el servicio de comidas que nos ofrecieron. La hotelería, tal como se nos había informado, fue toda en hoteles de 5 estrellas en los que contamos, como era de esperar, con la mayor comodidad y cordialidad en la atención de su personal. Un párrafo especial merece el vuelo en globo en Capadocia, algo realmente maravilloso e inolvidable. En síntesis: Recomiendo sin lugar a dudas este tour de Ada Vegas Travel y la asistencia de nuestro guía en español, Alí, porque realmente superó nuestras mejores expectativas y fue mucho más de lo esperado. ¡Muchas gracias!
