Amazing ❤️ - My spouse and I chose this agency upon recommendation for our wedding anniversary this year. We would like to sincerely thank them for the tour program and hotel selection they prepared for us. Unfortunately, due to unfavorable weather conditions during our visit, we were unable to join the balloon tour. Nevertheless, Göreme is truly a magnificent place. The moment you enter Göreme, its historical atmosphere takes you on a journey back in time. Silence, tranquility, history, nature, horses, and of course the Fairy Chimneys… It feels like watching a film from the past that you never get tired of. As they say, “It cannot be explained, it must be experienced.” Göreme is exactly that kind of place. You simply have to go, see, and explore 🙂 We hope to return again very soon. Thank you so much, Eyewitness Travel ❤️

Unbeatable first impression of Turkey - Unbeatable first impression in Turkey with Eyewitness agency. Seriousness when making budgets, itineraries and airline tickets. Reliability: excellently located hotels, with superior services to the advertised category and very attentive staff. Spanish-speaking guides who respect the client and his profession. I can only say good words from this agency and recommend it to anyone like us who wants to visit the country with local people who know how to advise you the best within the expectations that a tourist novice of Turkish culture can have.

The tour service to Cappadocia met our expectations. - We had a very good experience in Cappadocia. Very good service, well coordinated, and Huseyin was always attentive from Istanbul to make sure everything was okay. He even took care of changing our flight because the airline cancelled ours.

Very good experience! - Excellent! The spectacular balloon ride! The landscape looks like another planet. Very interesting all walks. The hotel was fine, although I would have liked to stay in a cave hotel, as we thought it was. Anyway, they were very friendly and prepared a delicious breakfast.

The journey of a thousand and one nights - We traveled with my wife and my mother, looking for a short but memorable experience exploring Turkey, ideally lasting no more than 5 days. For this, I contacted Huseyin Yaila from Eyewitness Travel, whom my mother had used years earlier for her first trip to Istanbul. Huseyin helped us plan the excursions and all the details of the trip several months in advance. We ended up visiting Istanbul for 3 nights and Cappadocia for 1 night, with the added bonus of a late check-out that allowed us a 6-hour layover at Istanbul Airport (IST) before our flight to Italy. The tour of Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Cistern, and the Grand Bazaar, guided by Sinan, deserves a separate review. The Bosphorus cruise and visit to the Spice Bazaar (Egyptian Bazaar), guided by Çagatai Han Dogramaci, was another unique and special experience; as a bonus, we also visited the "real" Blue Mosque (Rüstem Paşa Mosque) – go see it and you'll understand why... The hotel in Istanbul, Sultanhamit, is small but very cozy and strategically located; the one in Cappadocia, Elisee Cave House Hotel, was a true cave-room experience. The hot air balloon ride with Sultan Balloon, piloted by the best pilot in Cappadocia, Halil, was amazing (at times it felt like we were in a silent helicopter). This professional pilot can steer his balloon wherever he wants, using the air currents at different altitudes, which he knows better than anyone. The private transfers in comfortable and punctual minibuses made navigating the busy traffic of Istanbul much easier. One anecdote that speaks to Huseyin's professionalism and dedication: we hadn't understood the pickup time for our return flight to Istanbul on Monday, September 15th at 6:00 a.m. And we didn't have our boarding passes. From Cappadocia, at 12:47 on Sunday, I called Huseyin on his personal phone (which he had given me for emergencies), and within 15 minutes he provided us with the information and the boarding passes. Throughout the entire trip, we felt cared for and well looked after by Huseyin Yaila, who acted like the best travel professional we've ever encountered (in fact, until the last day, I thought he owned the travel agency!). Regarding price and quality, the complete package was cheaper than what I could find from my home country before the trip; the result exceeded our expectations, with 3-star hotels that felt like 4-star, luxurious private transfers, and highly qualified and friendly guides who changed our perspective on Turkey and its people, bringing us closer to its culture and history. In every way, it was a truly magical trip.

Amazing 2-Day Cappadocia Experience - We had an excellent experience planning our 2-day trip to Cappadocia with Huseyin. Everything was very well organized, and the itinerary made the best use of our time. The tours were amazing, and we got to see so many beautiful places without feeling rushed. The food arrangements were also very good. Huseyin was helpful, attentive, and made the whole process smooth. Highly recommend his trip planning services!
