What travellers say about Romos
  • KATHERINE MOTLAGH
    28 SEP 2023 – Dallas

    We booked a luxury tour of Turkey with Romos Travel. The service and responsiveness from this travel agency were outstanding.
    The vacation was well organized and exceeded our expectations. The team went out of their way to accommodate our requests and attended to every detail. The hotel accommodations were great, specifically the Gamirasu Cave hotel, followed by fantastic activities such as balloon ride, and Turkish bath in addition to many site visits along the way. Our visits were paired with authentic food and restaurants recommendations and reservations as needed.

    We travelled to many countries and Özçan is easily one of the best guides. He is patient, resourceful, punctual, interested in his clients and invested in their enjoyment.
    Özçan shared an ocean of interesting information about sites we visited and was flexible to organize our days at our request.

    The gift of personalized memory plate was a very nice final touch. It was a great trip thanks to Romos travel.

    Just Superb!

    Our family spent 3 days in Istanbul with our guide Hakan. He was amazing! Not only was his knowledge excellent, but he shared so much of his culture too. He took us to off the beaten path restaurants and experiences. His English is excellent and by the second day he felt like family. We always had a plan for each day, but he would also customize it based on our interests. We highly recommend this agency. Hakan truly made our experience in Istanbul the trip of a lifetime.

    Best Turkey Experience!
    Chicago – September 2020
    Romos Travel Agency is the best Istanbul-based Turkish travel agency. From when we first contacted them, they were highly professional and courteous, patiently explaining all the divergent opportunities and the best ways to attain them. They were exceptionally friendly and catered to our schedule and limitations, changing the itinerary whenever needed, regardless of any difficulties posed. During our visit to Turkey, whether we were in a city for a short or long period of time, they provided us transport to various landmarks and iconic sites, giving us detailed historical backgrounds on each one. They even organized a trip throughout the entire country, calling us every time we reached a new city to ensure everything was going smoothly and that our accommodations were met. In addition, they reminded us of all the things we could do, made sure the pricing for everything was within our budget and of the best quality, and customized our itinerary so it fit our interests. Moreover, they were quick to ensure our safety when the forest fires occurred in the cities we were staying in and just showed great care and attention to us throughout our entire trip. I loved my experience with them and will continue to use them anytime I am in Turkey. I highly recommend anyone interested in traveling to Turkey to also use them for the best experience!

    I went to Turkey with my parents, my brother and my sister-in-law. We went for 10 days. It was winter ❄️ at that time and the temperature varies from 2°C to 10°C (depends on which area you are, in Cappadocia the temperature can go as low to -1°C and Istanbul the temperature was around 7 to 10°C). We had a luxury mpv 🚐 (mercedes sprinter) for transportation. The mpv was very comfy and big and they even have plug in there (to charge your phone during journey). During the trip we visited to a lot of places (mostly historical sites) which is very interesting especially the Ataturk’s Museum ❤️ All the hotels are 5⭐️ and we really like hot spring in one of the hotels. I was an amazing experience. We also get chance to got on the air ballon!!! The view was lit 🔥 ! We also tried hamam (turkey spa/massage). It was nice, they bath you in warm water and massage and brush off your dead skin with soap water. The show in Hodjapasha was amazing.

    By far the best family vacation we ever had, that’s all we can say 😊 I would like to thank Mr Ender(our tour operator) and Mr.Ozcan (our guide). Thanks for all the experiences.

    Istanbul and Cappadocia trip was truly worth the money we spent – exceptionally well organized and catered for. It took away all the hassle of organizing your own itinerary and the knowledge of our tour guide Semih – there wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer. He kept the group organized and went out of his way to cater to individual needs. The driver did an exceptional job, ensuring the journey was as comfortable as possible. The hotels we stayed at were of high quality and the meals were excellent. The trip is fast paced but not physically challenging, ideal for anyone who wants to see all the highlights of ancient Turkey. I would highly recommend Istanbul and Cappadocia Tour.

  • We had a great time in Turkey with Luxury Tour Turkey that kept excellent communication with us and answered any questions we had. We were lucky to meet a great group of people and have Ozcan as our guide. A very pleasant person always ready to help and answer our questions showing great knowledge of Turkish History and culture. Our favorite parts of the 10 days were Istanbul, the visit to the Virgin Mary House, Ephesus, Pamukkale, and the hot air balloon ride, in Cappadocia (a breath take experience).
    Hotels: Celal Sultan is in a perfect location for you to explore Istanbul on your own during your free time and is in a walking distance to the Grand Bazaar, Mosques, Bosphorus, Galata Bridge, and other places. The other hotels were amazing but Mdc Hotel in Cappadocia has the real Turkish breakfast and it was the best breakfast of all the hotels we stayed in.
    Overall, the package is excellent and shows a lot about the country. Turkish People hospitality is simply amazing! You feel welcome and safe everywhere you go in Turkey. We definitely recommend a visit to Turkey!

Hot Air Balloon Ride was the best!
We had the great fortune to go on a ten days tour of Turkey with Luxury Tour Turkey. We visited 4 destinations in the duration of 10 days which was led by our guide Mustafa. He was very gracious, accommodating, pleasant and very polite. His ability to share his deep knowledge of history has been so helpful to understand the importance & significance of what we were seeing.
He made sure we were always safe and that really helped us to enjoy the experience. He went above and beyond the call of duty in so many ways it is difficult to explain
We want to thank him for his attention to the details of travel. We have felt so cared for on all counts.
Thanks to his superb arrangements and more importantly, to his personal touch and love! We can’t find words to express our gratitude and appreciation to him.
We will always treasure our memories and spread the word that Turkey is a “must see “country with Turkish culture, historical sites as well as warm friendly welcoming nature of the Turkish people which finds it easy to strike up a conversation or make friends no matter which destination you decide to visit. Thank you Luxury Tour Turkey for arranging the trip.

From the moment I arrived at the airport, I was treated like a VIP with their exclusive airport meet and greet service. The luxury continued with a chauffeured transfer to my hotel in a private vehicle, where I was greeted by a professional tour guide who would accompany me throughout my journey.

Every step of the way, the tour exceeded my expectations. The entrance fees to all the incredible attractions mentioned in the itinerary were included, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the opulence, scenic beauty, and cultural grandeur that Turkey has to offer. The VIP chauffeured vehicle provided comfortable transportation during all the tours, ensuring a seamless and luxurious experience.

One of the highlights of the tour was the private yacht to Bosphorus Cruise, where I got to soak in the breathtaking views and indulge in the ultimate luxury. The tour also included a business class domestic flight, adding an extra touch of comfort and convenience.

From exploring Istanbul’s old city with a mesmerizing Whirling Dervish show to experiencing a private Cappadocia tour, private Ephesus tour, and private Bodrum city tour, every moment was filled with awe and wonder. And to top it all off, the Bodrum Private Blue Cruise was an unforgettable experience that allowed me to relax and unwind in pure luxury.

If you’re looking for a truly indulgent and unforgettable journey, I highly recommend booking the Luxury Discover Turkey Tour.

We would definitely recommend Luxury Tour Turkey and the tour guide.

Selin from Luxury Tour Turkey led our team across Asia Minor from Istanbul to ANZAC Cove at Gallipoli where Aussies and Kiwis wept openly thinking about those young men a hundred years ago and then it was as onto the superb ruins of Ephesus which made us wonder about past gods and the collapse of Greek and Roman empires. The Guide, Ozcan introduced us to the wonders of Anatolian geography with amazing white terraces and onto the breath taking stone pillars of Cappadocia. The highlight for my wife Ewa and myself was ballooning at dawn over the stone valley like riding a magic carpet. Thanks to Selin and Luxury Tour Turkey staff for their education about Turkish culture, constant enthusiasm and ‘comforting’ courtesy. We will be back for more.

If you are a little nervous about a trip to Turkey, like I was then use Romos.
They arranged everything at a reasonable price with best quality services. Every flight, connection, transfer to hotels and tours were really good and well organised.
Luxury Tour Turkey would contact us every day via ‘What’s App’ to remind us of times, flights and tours. They are always available via ‘what’s App’ to ask any questions or if you need to make
changes like us. It took the scary out of travel for us Australians who live so far away. Thank you Luxury Tour Turkey. We will use you again when we come to see more of amazing Turkey.

Great Turkey tour with Luxurytourturkey!
We had an excellent experience in Istanbul and the 10 day tour of Turkey. Hakan, our guide for the trip, was awesome. He is so knowledgeable about all the places we visited, as well as Turkish life, history, and food. He willingly answered all of our questions throughout the trip. Our driver for most of the trip, Tayfun, was excellent and also fun to be around. The hotel selections were spot on; good breakfasts, great central locations, and varied in style. We loved it! We would definitely recommend Turkey, and Luxurytourturkey.

 

Teeghtsoon K.

This was my first overseas trip and it did not disappoint!

First and foremost I would like to give tremendous commendations to our guide Ozan and our driver Ismael. Both were with us (myself and my girlfriend) for the majority of our time throughout the country (Izmir/Kusadasi, Cappadocia) and we could not have been given a better pair of people to take us through Turkey. Ozan was supremely knowledgeable about the historical, geographical, and cultural significance of each location we visited and was always happy to answer questions we may have had. You would be lucky to have Ozan as a guide, we enjoyed our time with him and learned a lot from him.

Our driver, Ismael, was Always punctual, we were never left waiting when travelling from destination to destination. Despite the heavy snow while we were in Cappadocia, we never had concerns with Ismael behind the wheel.

The tour itself was very well organized and I am impressed with the responsiveness of Ender at Luxrytourtukey. There were unforeseen circumstances (we were there during the earthquakes in Gaziantep and we received a large amount of snow) which put some legs of our trip a little behind schedule, but we were frequently in contact with Ender at all hours of the day and night getting the details sorted out.Luxurytourtukey was an exceptional organizer and I have no reservations in recommending them to anyone considering travelling to Tukey.

Turkey is a beautiful place and the stops along the way were chosen well. The 10 day duration left enough time to see the big sites in each city/region without becoming overbearing in terms of stay duration. As we booked in the slow season, we often found ourselves at sites/restaurants/museums with very few other tourists which allowed us lots of time without feeling rushed. The first half of our trip was blessed with great weather, whereas in the second half we had a good amount of snow. My advice for travelers considering going in the winter: make sure you have a hat, gloves, and some good boots with you. Despite the weather, we found it took away very little from the trip – Ender even mentioned at times in the summer it can be very hot, and certain areas would provide little shade (i.e. Pamukkale or Cappadocia). The hotels at each site were suitable to the location. I particularly liked our hotels in Istanbul and Cappadocia(and not to mention the unbelievable breakfast spreads provided at each place – a 10/10 from me).

Overall I would recommend this tour to anyone and cannot sing high enough praises about Luxurytourtukey, Ender, Ozan, Ismael and the Luxury Tour Tukey team

Excellent Guide Service!

I get my tour guide with Ender’s support from Private Istanbul Guide for two days during my Istanbul stay. He planned an amazing itinerary that combined Istanbul’s historical sites with fewer tourist places and visited the local markets.

During our first day, we visited the old part of the city, while in the afternoon we visited the new part/sights of the city. We discovered and learned about Turkish people’s history and habits by an amazing Bosphorus cruise during our second day.

After my two days Istanbul City Tour, I left Istanbul with a piece of much greater knowledge about the history of the city, Muslims, and Turkish habits, and I tried some of the most delicious Turkish dishes.
I would not hesitate to recommend this website and the team to any friend or family who will be traveling to Istanbul.

Wonderful old city trip and excellent tour guide. This tour was excellent in every way! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Sanem, our tour guide, was not only nice and accommodating but also well informed about all of the locations we went to. During lunch, she made some excellent recommendations for the food, and she tailored the tour around the Grand Bazaar to my particular areas of interest. Sanem, on the other hand, showed a genuine interest in the stories I told about the two countries with whom I am affiliated. We were able to view the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia before they were too crowded and before it started becoming too hot later in the day because we started the tour early in the day (8:30 am). This was a terrific decision because we were able to see them before it got too hot later in the day. Sanem was also a talented photographer. This is an experience that I would strongly suggest to anyone.

That is an incredible amount more than we could have hoped for!

We hadn’t made up our minds about how we were going to feel about Istanbul. I hadn’t done a ton of research on this port before we arrived here on our cruise, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Because of our wonderful tour guide, Gurhan, this turned out to be one of our most memorable stops. He had an incredible amount of expertise, was fantastic with our little children, and was a lot of fun to hang out with. He made everything fascinating for each one of us to experience.

He presents a diverse range of choices. This is a personalized trip catered to your preferences and arranged according to your schedule. Seven hours have passed, yet ultimately, the decision is yours to make. It is difficult to see everything that Istanbul has to offer in one day, but if you let Baris know how much time you have, he will design a schedule for you. Have fun!

Everything was really close, and we walked to it.”

Recomendo 100% el tour en espaol con Sinan!” My tour guide, Murat, was, without a doubt, the best tour guide I’ve ever had on any trip I’ve ever taken. I would like to mention that I was traveling by myself.” The route is really well planned out; I participated in a private tour for two days. However, the credit for the recognition goes to my tour guide.

 


 

Highly recommended! Nazirita is located in Miami, Florida.

The most advantageous choice we made regarding our time in Istanbul was to go with the guided Istanbul tour. Putting together the itinerary was a really simple task. We received timely responses to all of our inquiries, and all of our requests were honored in their entirety. Dilek, our tour guide, was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, adaptable, and pleasant to work with. I cannot thank you enough for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
