1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The variety of wonderful things to experience.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
This is a wonderful trip through the history of our world and its wonders. The days are long but well managed but you do need to be relatively fit.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
It certainly supported the tourism trade in Turkey but I am not sure that we reduced the impact of tourism on the country, besides purchasing the Water-to-Go bottle to reduce our usage of bottled water.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
A brilliant insight into previous civilisations, together with memorable natural wonders and buildingsRead the operator's response here:
Thank you for taking the time to review your trip with us! We are pleased you enjoyed your time in Turkey and for giving helpful tips about your own experience during the trip days and fitness level.
The trip you selected features a domestic flight. We offer a wide range of tours in Turkey, many of which avoid domestic air travel to reduce some of the long road journeys. On this particular tour we do include 1 domestic flight from Istanbul to Kayseri, which removes a long 9 hour drive.
All of the team we employ in Turkey are local Turks, so by joining this tour you are helping to generate an income for locals. We also encourage shopping in local markets/bazaars which also helps contribute to the local economy. Many of our Turkey tours also visit places such as ceramic workshops, carpet weaving villages etc, driving money directly back to the manufacturers and putting money in to local communities.
This is also in addition to the discounted water to go bottles which we recommend our customers purchase prior to departure (we offer a 25% discount to all customers on these bottles) which will reduce place use whilst travelling (and back home too as these bottles have a long life!).

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
We absolutely loved our cave hotel in Cappadocia and were thoroughly enchanted by our guide, Ege.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We definitely helped local economies by dining out and buying local goods, but not sure about reduced environmental impacts or supporting conservation as we did a lot of driving, which obviously is not great for the environment.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
We generally loved the trip although we were quite disappointed that the gullet portion of it did not at all match the itinerary that was promised.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
